We've never really shared how to setup a basic FPV camera kit, so here you go! More details in the writeup here: flitetest.com/articles/Basic_F... Learn more about this FPV Camera Set here: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/st...
I like the intro to basics of FPV setups. I truely belive this is the direction RC is taking these days. I am a beginner to RC only about a year of flying now, but the greatest thrills are FPV flying both Tricopters and sailplanes. So many crafty ways to do these things (safety should be forefront though (not AMA but just common sense)). Dig it!
Love the bit about changing to proper glass lense! this is so helpful for me as my camera wasn't great. I have been using a 808 #18 instead but after this i will have some use for the stock camera now! thank you
good demo guys ~ great to see your choice of camera devices deviates from the big name units ~ I have yet to need flight sound on any of my jobs . Thanks for the demo / explanations !
Hey this really awesome! i am just getting into fpv and am wondering i can get that adapter for the battery that allows you to hook it up straight to the reciever? FliteTest Thanks a lot!
Hi FlightTest, I wanted to say thanks for all the Video's. Appreciate the extra knowledge when needed. I have a question about this FPV. On the receiver Does the 12volt system have enough power to handle 2 or more feed displays at once without degrading the signal? Thanks, Brad
That depends on the antenna you use. If you use a scew planer antenna and a clover leaf, you should get around 2 kilometers. FliteTest has uploaded a video on FPV antenna's. RCModelReviews also has a nice video explaining Gain with antenna's. I suggest you watch both videos.
900MHz kit was arrived Yesterday and I hooked all up, Rx set CH "0" and default(leave as it is) for Tx As this fast tips, wide lens was installed instead and got better wide view. Working great but Tx is hot, so I put Al cool Fin front and back for better cooling. Great helpful tip video to setup FPV for beginner like me
please do a tutorial on how to make an inverted vee antenna!! I really want to do some good fpv and in your antennas video you said it was the best one that is easy to make.(i have seen the rcgroups thread but i like to watch hoe to do it better)
+david morton Check out this FPV starter setup out.Hyperion 4.3" FPV Monitor with Built-in 5.8Ghz 32 www.aircraft-world.com/en/p1986857-hp-fpmon43 AOMWAY FPV 5.8G 8CH 200mW AV Transmitter Integrated 700TVL CMOS HD Camera For Aerial Photo us.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-AOMWAY-FPV-5_8G-8CH-200mW-AV-Transmitter-Integrated-700TVL-CMOS-HD-Camera-For-Aerial-Photo-wp-Usa-989258.html I think it is safe to use this FPV camera with a 2s plus lipo battery. The monitor has auto tune so you do not have to flip through channels etc.
Just went FPV-ing with my dad (he doesn't fly, just my taxi) he didn't tell me which direction i was away and before i knew it I'd crashed a kilometer away in the middle of a paddock, and by crashed i mean, landed it perfectly with out seeing it at all! :D all intact and nothing broken at all! Safe to say I am now investing in RTH and a powerful video transmitter and some good antennas!
Excellent video, guys. If you can, maybe show how you would use the GoPro, plus view video via the Shark goggles? None the less, thanks for the great tip.
I just rolled through a dozen of your videos, and have to force myself to get back to bed - but, I was wondering what kind of HMD y'all are using for the FPV rigs? I've been pondering the different options for quite a while and would love to know if you've got a favorite, or maybe what applications are best for a specific type of display? I'm *so* going to be putting a versa wing together tomorrow.
i bought this camera from hobbyking awhile back it worked great, just make sure your white connector on the camera is not reversed, mine was and luckily it dident fry the camera when i put power on it. if it is reversed simply grab it with pliers and pop it off and turn it and slide it back on the connectors.
This basic setup has an range about 500-700m. Upgrading the receiver and transmitter + adding clover leaf antennas will give you longer range. Or just simply add Clover leaf antennas on both of the antennas and instantly get better range. If your controller is 2.4GHz you need the 5.8GHz setup, because 2.4GHz combined with 2.4GHz can cause severe interference in your video signal.
Another thing that makes video transmitters hot is having undersized antennas for them which is kind of common with the extremely small transmitters and with the 900MHz transmitters. The difference between a decent antenna and a poorly matched antenna can more than double your range!
Grat video. A few questions first is the 900 mhs legal in the us and if not is it ok to run 2.4ghz video transmitter with 2.4ghz rc transmitter or will that cose problems. also what is the cheepest workable video moniter
I've seen waves in the video when directly splitting the power from the battery for the motor. Does using the balance port, instead of splitting the normal power leads eliminate this issue?

I like chad, boom, straight to the point, a little stressing sometimes. But i cant wait till my stuff comes home to start building my tricopter.
okay. I got it :) I was having trouble using the ecalc for multirotor. The motor weight , battery cell weight are not given on the manufacturers page. What do I do?
make sure that your 5.8 tx is a match to your 5.8 rx. There seems to be two sets of frequencies that the 5.8 GHz models operate with and they do not overlap. As far as I have seen there is fat shark compatible and a second set that will not work with fatshark's set.
Wow.. That was a nice little video giving a taste of what it takes to get started with FPV Flying.. I need to watch a longer video showing a compleate in depth video on how to FPV, and how to get better & better equipment so that maybe one day I can travel as far as some of the people here on RU-vid have traveled, which from what I've seen so far it was 8 miles. But I've heard of a guy flying from Canada to Ireland which is like 3,020 km, or 1,876 miles. Nice video, thanks guys, (+1 : 1,079)
which battery would you recommend to power up the video receiver during flight?a 3 cell 500mah or a 3cell 850mah?or maybe i can use a lower mah batter for lighter weight?what does mAh do on a video rx?does it last longer or more range with a higher mah 3cell battery?
I have this same kit. I even did a review video on HK. the only problem i had with it, was the video and positive wire to the camera was reversed. Thank fully i spotted it before hooking up. Nice out fit...... well worth the buck....
Hey guys, just wondering if you think it is a problem having a TX and Camera different voltages? All it requires is some Voltage regulators or a UBEC to supply the 5v and the 12v comes straight from the Battery. What do you think?
