I finally found time to outfit my crazyflie with FPV! I was looking at the most recent video posted from the Bitcraze at Devoxx France blog, and noticed a new looking PCB for a FPV Tx/Rx (pictured below). Does anyone recognize what it is? It doesn't look like any of the combo systems on fpvhobby.com.

After searching, I have found something similar to the pictured PCB. It is the PCB of a fake car keyfob that contains a camera and SD flash chip.
Similar to the one here:

The #16HD V3 keychain camera looks to be the newest, best, hardware to use today. Here is a lot more detail, including several store options for purchase:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost ... ostcount=2 There are three lens variants, A (70 degree), B (slightly wider than 70 degree), and D (120 degree fish-eye)
The #16HD runs on 3.7V, so it should be able to tap into the existing battery power supply with no issue (other than reduced flight time).
I'll update again once my order arrives.

Yes you found the right and probably the best keychain camera.
There is another bolgpost about this camera:

What we have done to the version on the picture is that we put on some bigger motors and a bigger battery (240mAh). The camera still cuts out after ~3min of flight but it works a lot better. Everything is very hick-ish but it works
