 WELCOME !
Since 1996, Hi Cam has been involved in the field of UAVs, operating a range of platforms, advising clients, and supplying video solutions.
UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are enjoying an explosion of interest and investment.
They range from toy planes with cameras, to multi-million dollar satellite-guided flying robots.
TINY TECHNOLOGY
In 2001, Hi Cam released the world's first 4.8V CCD-based high-power micro video system designed specifically for aerial applications.
It was called the Micro 100, and was followed by the Pro 100. We drew on our years of experience with these products to develop the highly successful Pro X2 in 2005.
Hi Cam systems have been operating in 30 countries, operating on blimps, helicopters, planes, rockets, gliders, balloons, kites, live birds, and research UAVs around the world.
 NEW FOR 2008 - MV200 !
Our R&D doesn't stop, and here's the result.
The new MV200, shown at left, is the 4th generation video transmitter from Hi Cam.
While including all the innovations of the highly successful Pro X2, it adds extreme toughness and JR sockets integated into the body.
CCD camera and mic automatically receive power. Or connect a digicam for live preview.
If you need a tough, reliable, user-friendly video downlink for your UAV or R/C model, then this is THE system for you. The price is the same as the Pro X2. Please contact us for details.

QUEEN'S BATON
Hi Cam developed the two video systems installed in the Queen's Baton, shown below.
At Buckingham Palace on 14 March 2005, in front of a giant screen to show live video from the baton, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth handed the baton to Elle Macpherson and Cathy Freeman, the first of thousands of runners to carry the baton around the world.

It reached Melbourne on 15 March 2006 for the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.
Here it was handed to the Queen, with an estimated viewing audience of 1.5 billion people worldwide.
