  I don't know why this was proposed as a video FM transmitter.  In any
case, reception of FM video is a bit more complex.  Of course, if you were
in the right frequency range, a TVRO system (with smaller dish) could make
a good receiver, and probably do decent range with low power.

  Speaking of all this, whatever did the original poster decide to do?
I would recommend getting an amateur license, and going for that, but
perhaps an experimental license is availiable in Canada, similar to ones
that are availiable in U.S.

  I would have substantial fear about flying a camera.  Awfully expensive
crash!
