Telemetry Backpacks sugggestions for mini cam

[cswann821]

Hi everyone,


  I was wondering if anyone who has experience with Telemetry and the packs used for the TX, could give some input on any brands that would be good for a redtail. On the side I fly first person view drones with wireless video, and was thinking of attacking a small HD cam on a backpack.


Thanks,

!

NOT Attacking, I ment to say attaching lol.

Marshall, i believe have the patent on back pacs. I've used 3 with birds. The camera you are going to be attaching is the the thing. There is a keyfob camera that's about the lightest wight of all of them.

Chris I think the Marshall's are the best ones out there. There are a few knock off designs but it's hard to beat the molded plastic that Marshall makes. $35 isn't too bad just make sure the fitment is right because the 'reinstall kit' is another $15 or so.

Folks have made cameras before for redtails, check out youtube. I don't know what models they used though.

Yes! I found the track packs on mikes falconry. Com , I should be able to mod it easily to fit a cam. I do have and sell try to use my key chain cam #16. It's pretty light weight and small with even the battery and SD card in it.

Thanks !

No worries. It is probably easier to modify the camera to allow for the normal backpack mount. You can get the "tailsprings" for $5 from mikes www.mikesfalconry.com/ALL-SIZES-OF-MARSHALL-TAIL-MOUNT-SPRINGS-p/ma001.htm
