Ideas on FPV gear?

[Neil]

Now that I’ve got the wing flying nicely, I’d like to get the video to and ex so I can do fpv.

There is a camera mounted already, not sure if it’s specs exactly but it should suit.

So I’m wondering if anyone has ideas on where I can get the rest?

I’ve got a pair of those mirror goggles already 😊

I meant video rx and tx 😜

If you have the same goggles as I do they come with a 48 channel 5.8ghz Dual Diversity receiver built into the screen so all you need is a matching Txr and antennae.

I usually use the TS832 Video transmitter, they are around $35.00 from AliExpress.

Thanks for that Mike (and sorry for the slow response!).  I think I’ve actually got one of those, but I thought it was too old.

Is there any use getting one that has more power than 600mw?

Technically you shouldn’t go past 25mw without an amateur or specific licence but no, 600mw will give you good range, I also have a 400mw version that runs a lot cooler and gives just as good a range. Just make sure you match the Tx & Rx antennae, if you circular polarised then they both need to be either left or right polarised.

Cool thanks Mike!  🙂

I reckon the antennas I have (some of which Ron made) are all good to go… I’ll muddle through them all, and see if I can get it all going with the Matek FC.
