An example of the latest cheap Chinese quadcopter tech that might be useful somehow in rocketry. I'll leave the usage ideas, if any, up to you. Up to ~100m range while quadcopter is airborne, almost certainly less if used as a ground unit. A directional antenna at the LCD monitor RX unit would increase that. The camera would need DC power, the RX monitor unit has an internal battery and is stand-alone. NTSC resolution.
