I have trouble with my 1,2 videolinks and the carbon fibre frames with lots of noise in the video. I read that you use 5,8 and omni antennas. What range do you get and how have you placed the antennas? Straight up? Any antenna extention on the ground such a pole?

Check this one out;

Thermal camera, works really good in the dark and you can easly fly it. With a normal camera, its almost impossible to fly when its dark outside because of the image noise and all..

The camera itself is a lil expensive though.. :)

We have a problem with people hunting at night with spot lights. We try to catch them by finding high ground and looking for the sweeping light. Could this technology be used practically for this type of work. I’m thinking the short battery life might be a problem. What are the total costs of this system?

I could have used the composite video out on the GoPro, but it gives me more flexibility to use a dedicated camera. Sometimes I fly without recording. Sometimes with a camera that have no video out.

For the video transmitter you have to choose based on the radio you are using, the range you want and the regulations in your country. I use small 5.8 GHz video transmitters.

With these antennas.

I have these goggles

But would consider these as well.

Then you need a simple OSD to get the battery status in the video feed.
