VIZION OSD System Demo Video

David G. uses his Vizion OSD video telemetry system to help frame aerial snapshots. By connecting his digital still camera's live video output to the Vizion OSD and his wireless A/V transmitter, he is able to remotely see exactly what is in the camera's viewfinder. This allows him to frame the shot for the perfect photo. All the while the Vizion system helps him keep track of his electric model's battery as well as camera altitude. 

You can see snippets of his model in action from the sample video he sent us. The top and bottom of the screen is slightly cut off because of the letterbox format of his camera. The little white box in the middle of the screen is a graphic from the camera that shows the focus spot. All the other on-screen data is provided by the Vizion OSD.

Bob A., Easthamptom, MA (USA), is having a blast flying his model airplane with video goggles. That's right, he is a Virtual Pilot that experiences flying like a full scale pilot. Only in his case, the airplane is a small radio control (R/C) model made of lightweight foam plastic that has battery powered twin motors. A video camera is in the cockpit and is setup to follow his head movements while he is comfortably on the ground with his R/C transmitter. Hobbyists like him refer to this flying style as "FPV" (first person view) R/C piloting.

He uses the Vizion OSD to monitor his remaining battery capacity and system voltages so that he can avoid an "out of fuel" situation while he cruises the sky. His video is a nice example of using the Vizion OSD without the optional altimeter. His setup also includes our Pandora Pan & Tilt kit and Oracle diversity controller. Details to his Twinstar R/C model and video equipment is summarized on his Vimeo page, so please check it out.
