Vistaquest VQ3005
Folks,
I need a very simple and, most importantly, very lightweight camera (in the 50 grams range, max.) which I want to attach to a small R/C helicopter to take aerial pictures. After some searching I found the "VistaQuest VQ3005" which seems just ideal for my purpose (data sheet at www.vistaquestusa.com). However I cannot find any place to sell this beast to me (problem being I'm in Germany!). There seem to be only two online retailers, one of them WalMart who don't ship outside the US, and the other SurplusSourcing.com who said they won't ship because my paypal address was "not confirmed", whatever that means. eBay has nothing either. Does anybody have any idea how I could get hold of this camera? Maybe someone's willing to buy one at Wal-Mart and put it on eBay, I promise I'll buy it and of course pay all shipping etc. ,-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail ## N49°00.22' E008°24.56' |

Only 1.3 MP and slightly heavier, but at least there do seem to be a few still available this side of the Atlantic. Sadly, such cameras seem to have fallen out of favour with manufacturers. There are still a few models with VGA (640x480 pixels) resolution, but they are seldom better than toys. You could try looking in second-hand shops or markets. Another possibility is to make up something using the miniature cameras sold for 'security' or 'spying'. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |
