Since my aim was to make the ground based
portion of the system portable, I needed something to power the receiver
that I could carry. I selected a 2.3AH gel cell battery. This
battery is the perfect size and shape to fit in a small butt pack, yet
offers more than enough power for a full day's flying video |

considerations and options |
| The receiver can be powered
by virtually any 12v dc power source. If you opt for a less portable
ground bases system that uses a small TV and VCR, you will probably have
access to a very high capacity battery like a car or 'marine' battery.
If your tv and vcr are powered by 110 volts and you end up going with a
power inverter, you can simply plug the receiver's small 'wall wart' into
the inverter. |
