Re: How to convert a camcorder to a wireless video camera?

Unlike an radio control model airplane, there is plenty of room and
wieght capabilities on a model boat for a SLA battery and a
camcorder.

I am under the impression that CCD stabilized video from a camcorder
would be superior what the tiny board cameras that are typically used
with wireless video systems produce.

Probably, but at 50x the weight/mass.

My intention is to purchase a used camcorder with a good lens and low
light capable ccd . (Remote focus and zoom may also be possible).

If the camcorder does not have a passthrough, how can I obtain the
video output to send to my transmitter?

You can't. So don't buy one that doesn't have analog video out.
