Hi There,

I'm not a drone flyer but I am a pigeon fancier. I'm interested in attaching a FPV camera to a pigeon to get a 'bird's eye view' of the world. I was wondering what the absolutely lightest camera/transmitter/battery combo you can think of is. It really could only be a few grams in weight - maybe 5g max - so perhaps this is not possible. But I'd be interested in hearing your ideas.

Many thanks!

I used to manufacture and sell 2.5gr cam/TX sets for FPV back in the day and I believe we had some customers doing that with them as well but with bigger birds that could take a bit more weight. You're limited to low power at those weights so a few hundred meters range, and the main problem is power, you'll get very short battery life to stay within 5gr.

This is about 3.3gr:

It draws about 280mA on a lipo cell so with a 1.5gr 50mAh cell you get about 10 minutes...
