You guys saved me. I was about to give up on my cheap DIY kit from eBay until I heard your narrative. Best guide out there for this.
Thanks!
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
Hidden gems in this video, cleared up so many issues I had, Thank you.
This is a very informative video guys! Thanks a lot for sharing, as educational videos like this will almost always be useful. Keep up the great work!
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 !
ouch, glad to see you survived and your teaching people about all this cool stuff, keep it up all you guys love the show.
I havent seen your channel before, but you guys did a really great job on this video.
Thanks allot guys much appreciated! Great video and info
This was an awesome tip, definitely going to recommend to my RC friends who want to get into FPV to check out this video. Excellently done guys :-)
Loved the video, guys, thanks!
This is exactly what I've be looking for. Thank you so much!
Guys, thanks so much for this vid! It seems that for whatever reason this info is surprisingly hard to come by.
3rd upload in a week god they must be felling ill but im loving it keep it coming
Thanks guys! Nice job as always!
Nice spot guys. I bought this set up and seems to work well. Love to see a segment about monitors.
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!
Very informative! I have been watching for a while and am thinking about building an FPV setup very soon. I will probably start with this kit. Thanks!
Yay a more in depth video! please go more in depth on frequencies and provide benefits for each :D thank you
Thanks guys! I really enjoyed this vid, and it definately helped me in my choice for a system. Damn those cheap cameras have good video quality too!
Any possible chance of a updated version of this video?
And now
And now, the link is bad for the hobby king camera

I am now getting an fpv system :) Thanks to you! Keep it going!
very clear guide. thanks!
That was extremely helpful. thanks Josh and Chad!!! 👍👍
+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

The monitor has auto tune so you do not have to flip through channels etc.
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
another great video, thanks.
Great vid, very helpful. Luckly I watched this first as I was just about to order the wrong kit...!
This is a good setup. If you are using a 3 cell battery, go with a t connector and use 1 battery for flight and tx/camera power.
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, easy to understand video. Well done.
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
Perfect, just what I needed..... Keep up the good work..... Hey we're did Josh go???
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 TH-cam 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)
Hi! Great tutorial, congrats!
What can you say about the range of this kit? Thanks.
Great video guys.
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.
Many thanks for your prompt reply!
You said You have DVR for recording the flight. I am trying to find out what is the best DVR for my ground station? Thanks Guys
whats the range on something like this? the 5.8g setup I want is out of stock. Which would go farther?
great video guys it helped me a lot ..thanks ..
Thx for the vidéo.
If I use this type of camera is there a way to record at the same time before the vidéo reach the transmetter ?
Awesome. been wanting to get an FPV but wasn't really sure what i needed. Whats the range on these usually?
What type of connectors do you need for the battery? Please help! Thanks
Awesome thanks guys just what I needed. Any chance you could do a middle off the road and a top end fpv setup?
I've been looking for a simple video like this for 3 hours... -.-
me too
Lynett Bryant lol
Only 3. :)
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
“Me this must be old”
Looks
*7 years*
Me wow
Hey guys, can I use that kit from HK with a sj4000 cam?
thanks guys your tips helped me a loooooooooooot
Great tutorial...thanks👍
Love you guys!!!!
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.
These fast tips are great!! =D
Outstanding video guys :)
great info guys ! thumbs up
Hi, great video! I am thinking of building David's windest�l's tricopter with my Futaba 6EX transmitter (2.4 GH) and this fpv setup. Two questions: could I run the tricopter motors and the fpv gear off the same battery? (and if so which one would be good?). Also, will I have video interference from my 6EX? I read somewhere that this could happen... sorry for being such a noob!!! Thanks, Franky
very cool, thanks for the info!
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'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?
Your video is very helpful. How would I go about recording the video images in this type of system?
Awesome!!!! Thanks!!! Just 1 question.. can ya use a Gopro for fpv?
Excellent job guys. Very well explained precise TKS --Dennis
great video thank you for your time.
Can you connect the power for the camera off of your flight controller board? In this case the 12v on my Naze32 Rev6 ?
what battery do you use to power the camera when its mounted
also what is your favorite battery for quads, Thanks
a laptop can be used as monitor or is a special device 4 that? thxs!! great video really helpfull
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.
Great video! How much range can one expect from this 200mW transmitter ?
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE> awesome video
oh, if you order the set together it should work together right?
Thanks guys, super video.
if you wanted to overlay an OSD HUD that displays realtime flight information, what would you do? put an arduino or RP that generates the overlay between the camera and the transmitter, or put a computer on the ground that generates the overlay and is placed between the receiver and the monitor?
Im looking into buying this kit, I dont know if the range is worth the money, my question is how far can the transmitter be from the reciever and it still get a signal? Im talking about the out of the box set shown above
what is a list of fpv products that are compatible (i am looking into medium range FPV)
Thanks so much! It all makes sense now:)
Where can I get this FPV starter Kit. I can't find it on Hobby King as you suggested. Thanks for your help
Thank you so much for this.
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 a 9XR ibought from hobbyking,i want to use on a quard ,what program sitting to use or the best program sitting.
When they started pulling out the rca cable I knew something was up, but i didnt expect the video to be over 10 YEARS OLD! Wow
I have a TS832/RC832 set from Aliexpress and the transmitter is heating up really quickly. I run it off 12 volts. Is it better to lower the voltage or just glue a radiator onto the power amplifier IC?
this is a very nice Video ! thanks !
Was wondering why it got so hot, thanks for the tip!
I have a phantom 2 vision+, and really want to be able to view on a bigger screen. It is equipped with a 2.4ghz wifi transmitter, so could I just buy and use a 2.4ghz receiver and run it through a dvr? I don't want to spend the $$ on light ridge, when there seems to be much cheaper options
Hey Flitetest,
I've got a bunch of extra servos and servo related stuff laying around... any ideas/projects on what to do with them.
Regards.
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.
that will help me a lot in future thanks for it
I have a 500mah 3s lipo for the tx and the stock dipole antennas. And for the rx I use a 12 volt 1000 mah wall plug. I can't even get 30 feet with this. Do I need to get new antennas? Do I need to get a new tx? If I am 12 feet away from the rx it is clear.
First of all, get comfortable with flying your plane. Second of all, get rid of those rubber duckies (dipoles) and switch them out with IBCrazy's bluebeam antennas. You should also check for interference from WIFI networks on 2.4 ghz and cell phone towers at 910 mhz. Also, always use an FPV frequency higher than your remote's frequency.
what battery would you recommend. My local hobby shop gave me a 13C 11.1v 3cell flight pack and a part of the camera gets crazy hot when its plugged in (also no video) what am I doing wrong?
really great vid! :D
Hey guys really great video, looking to get into this, could you advise if this product is 2.4GHZ 100mW Tx/Rx & 1/3-inch CCD Camera PAL,
Hey! I am going to build my 1st FPV system but it is confusing to find the correct VTX. I need to use my FPV system in a racing quad copter. what is the VTX I should use. There are many 200mW, 600mW, etc what VTX I should buy?
Thats awesome... is there a way of maybe using your iPad as a monitor?
can i ask? what if i want to connect the the audio video cable in a pc do I need a adapter? and can I still see the live feed?
How everything has changed, chad doing a tutorial...
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!
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?
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....
How did you use/wire a balance connector in, did you cut off the JST Connector?
some reviews at HK product page states that red/ white wires from camera are reversed,and user has to fix that to get their system working ok, is that right?
