I’m new to rc robotics. I have a rc tank, here is a link to eBay.
I would like to install the ArduCam 64MP Camera & Pan-Tilt Kit to my tank but I’m not sure what receiver/transmitter and other needed components. I will use this rc tank in crawl spaces underneath homes to inspect underneath the home. A remote was provided so I’m trying to connect the pan/tilt camera to a receiver so I can control and take pict of the underneath components. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you just want simple video, you’d likely be best using a wireless camera and wireless receiver.
Even many action cameras (GoPro for example) include wireless video transmission.
You can also opt for a solution intended for drones with a small camera with wireless video:
… and a corresponding video received mounted to your remote.
Thank you. That’s good advice but the pan/tilt is important. I have to have the ability to point the camera up to see the bottom of the house. RC planes have similar servos that can be controlled on a remote control. A multi channel receiver would do that wouldn’t it? Thanks.
A normal RC transmitter can control the platform itself, provided the motor controller you choose can accept RC PWM input. You can also get an RC based pan and tilt which would connect directly to the RC receiver.
Great value:
Thank you. That helps.
