If you want to monitor your guarded objects remotely or want your radio-controlled car to transmit a video signal at a distance, then try to make your own hands a powerful video transmitter. This video transmitter transmits a color analog video signal up to 500 meters.
Instead of a video camera, you can connect other video sources, such as a VHS cassette recorder, DVD player or a game console, to the video transmitter.

How to make a video transmitter for the camera, instructions:
Here is a schematic of the video transmitter.
First, I drew the marker tracks on the foil fiberglass, and then etched the circuit board.
Now you have to solder all the radio components in their places according to the diagram above.
At the end we solder the power wires for our video transmitter and the analog mini video camera.
It is now necessary to tune our transmitter to a frequency of 140 MHz (VHF), the tuning is done with a variable capacitor. I do this with a frequency meter (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBX8o6z), but you can tune the TV to any VHF channel and then tune to that channel by turning the capacitor knob on the transmitter.
A variable resistor can be used to adjust the signal quality. After that, our homemade video transmitter is ready for use.
