First person camera for radio control planes, cars, etc.

Okay, this cool.  The Pilot View FPV 2400 is a wireless camera system for your really anything but it’s intended for radio control vehicles.

Strap the camera onto your vehicle and using a pair of goggles you can see what the camera sees.

The FPV 2400 has a range of about 1 kilometer (about 0.6 miles) and communicates in the 2.4GHz range.

It’ll set you back $549, but if I were still into R/C I’d be all over it.

For more info check out the product page here or check out this post at Gizmodo to see a video of the system in action. (WARNING: Unless you really, really like the song “Take a Picture” by Filter, you’ll want to turn down or mute your volume.)
