This project guide details how to integrate and use a Sony CCD 700TVL FPV camera in your projects. This tiny, lightweight camera (weighing only 10 grams, including the cable (in video at 00:36)) offers excellent image quality for its size and price, making it ideal for various First-Person View (FPV) applications. The simplicity of its three-wire connection (power, ground, and video out (in video at 00:54)) makes integration straightforward.

Hardware/Components

The core component is the Sony CCD 700TVL FPV camera. You will also need an appropriate power source and a video transmitter to view the camera's output. The video demonstrates using a Skyzone TS5823 transmitter (in video at 01:48), but other compatible transmitters can be used. An extension cable is also recommended for easier connection (in video at 01:09).

Wiring Guide

The camera uses a simple three-wire connection: black (ground), red (positive), and yellow (video out). Connect the black and red wires to your power source, ensuring correct polarity. The yellow wire connects to the video input of your transmitter. (in video at 00:56-01:06). %%WIRING%%

Live Project/Demonstration

The video demonstrates the camera's setup and functionality. The presenter connects the camera to a power source and a Skyzone TS5823 video transmitter (in video at 01:30-02:33). The video output is then displayed on a monitor, showcasing the camera's image quality. The ease of connection and the camera's lightweight design are highlighted (in video at 02:46).
