Step 4Prepare the Camera
Test your camera before tinkering with it.
The camera and antenna are mounted to a base unit, that is also the case for the transmitter. Remove the screw on the back of the camera to release it from the adjustable arm. Removing the screws through the bottom of the base frees the transmitter from the case. Pry the paddle antenna from the transmitter case and cut the plastic to free the wire leading to the transmitter. Try not to let things dangle free, keep them supported to prevent the wires from flexing at their solder joints on the transmitter board and breaking free, Just treat it gently.
As a note, the camera can also be removed from its case to reduce its size significantly. It will fit into the head of a model airlpane 1/4 scale pilot.
For this project I left the camera in its case.
