Thanks for watching!
Be sure to check out the other great tips, tricks, and tutorials available on flitetest.com
it is amazing how far the technology has come since this video was made. Now you can get something similar (fully assembled) for around $20
Hey Nils, can you recommend a more current video link for this info? Thanx.

@@thomream1888 look up "fpv aio camera" and you can find some. I dont know which ones are good and which are bad, but they are cheap.
was just about to say the same thing lol its so cheap now lol
@@headon6139 yes
You guys should open up a store where we can buy everything in a bundle. Keep up the good work.
Deadset they have a store now
ok
Deadset just go to flitetest.com and there is a store button at the top of the page
***** thanks man
I'm happy to see the crash removed from the intro. That's a responsible answer to safety concerns by people who aren't into this hobby
Inspiring video! The one thing I didn't see, was removal of the rosin flux after soldering. Rosin has some impedance when it solidifies and can change circuit characteristics and possibly add extra load to the transmitter. So right after the solder solidifies, wipe the joint off with a q-tip dipped in alcohol. 70% or 90% isopropyl alcohol from the drug store is fine. That removes the rosin the easiest since the solder joint is still warm. I would recommend using 63/37 solder over 60/40 for the fine soldering done in the rc world. Rosin core is more for large wires. Water soluble fluxes available in the 63/37 solders make cleanup so much easier and greatly reduce the risk of loading the circuit.
+JKFlorida Glad to help !

Hi
I'm so glade you guys did this video!
That was my intro to FPV Flying!
First I had this set up in a Hubsan X4, not so happy with the Hubsan.
But now I've got it strapped to my trusty old Hobbyking Mini Swift, and it's a BLAST!
Damn thats fun, and I got about 500-600 meter out of it, with the Wire Antenna AND just a cheap as chips RX with the standart Antenna on it...
Damn good fun!
I just the 5v Version as well, due to the specs it's quite well suited for a 1S set up.
As a Cam I used a cheap Hobbyking Cam.
I've you guys are back in Germany again, I would love to meet and fly with you!!
It's amazing to see how far this technology has advanced in such a short time.
Peter is great on the show, I love the stuff he's bringing to Flite Test recently with more electronics and rockets! I think Peter needs to put aside a few nights practicing presentation though. He's often quite nervous on camera and his presentation of steps for complex things doesn't seem as polished and practiced as it could be. With a bit of practice though, I can see him bringing back what I was missing since David has left! Thanks for bringing him on the show more, I've been enjoying all the DIY electronics stuff!
Seriously guys way too cool thanks for posting all the links on how to do it, i had a terrible time sourcing 3 V components, gave up had to work, thanks and great videos of FPV
Thanks for posting this up guys, it gives me confidence to try putting one together myself
Nice job Peter and explained very simply, your a great addition to Flite Test.
We need more videos like this.
RIP RadioShack.
Hey amazing people! This needs a refresh. I was all set to throw down the clams for this but parts have been discontinued and now there is even a smaller camera!!! Can you refresh this project?
Corey McGuire. wear is it wear can i follow you on
nash daniels you can follow my you tube channel. it has some robotics on it. not very rc
Very cool and unintimidating project Peter. Thanks for putting it together.
You can fix the camera lens adjustment with liquid electric tape. Great stuff! Not to mention sealing every connection and securing connectors to each other and or to the board or airframe.
Great video! Are there any videos going over the receiver setup? Looks pretty nifty. I definitely would use that setup for a rover project I am working on ...
Very nice job :)
It's a pretty cool way for saving a lot of money! Very easy, just some soldering skills are required but nothing impossible.
5 stars video guys, Peter is definitely the man of the week ;)
Thanks for sharing
There's a bit of incorrect info in this video - you MUST use the '5V' Tx module when powered from a 1S lipo - they have an additional LDO linear voltage regulator installed inside which drops the 5V down to 3.3V which is what the Tx requires.
If you power the '3V' tx from a 1S lipo IT WILL BURN (ask me how i know....)
ask me too! :(
Website states that you should not feed in more than 3.3v into it, and 1s battery packs are 3,7 volts on average,fully charged they deliver 4,2 volts!
If you look close in the video he is using the 5V-type. And yes, I was also wondering why he was saying that you should use the 3V-type. I thought this is wrong exactly because of the reasons you mentioned. I were looking for this comment to confirm that I'm not wrong.
Still a great video to learn from. The basics remain viable. Thanks.
Great video, I made mine about 3 years ago and it still sends signal fine with about 15mins run time.
Thanks for the help for Geting into the fpv part of the hobby
Another great video! I'd love to see you guys review the Blade 200qx. I've had mine for a few months now and I love it! It's pretty fast, very agile and It's perfect with a Mobius mounted on it, but I would really like to try out some FPV with it. I would really like to see what you guys think.
Awesome ... making one asap.. this is perfect for smaller projects where rabge issnt much of an issue.. I'll still stick to a small clover.. but its great Pieter!!!
Why do you have one Cloverleaf Omni Antenna and one "normal" antenna on there? Thought the Omni outperforms the "normal" one? Why not go for two Omni in a 90° to each other so the two "donuts" get you an nearly all around and up and down reception? :)
Great video!!! I want to see you guys land a quadcopter on a quadcopter on a quadcopter, reverse of what you did for the Amazon drone delivery video.
Yeah! That would actually be really cool if you guys did that!
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
Hahaha

Great job Peter & Josh.
Great job guys!
By the way, this DOES work with BOSCAM receivers (ie. Skyzone goggles) as well.... I was watching a few of Josh's flights while at Horizon Indoor. ;-) I think the base Fatshark cameras start on band 4 channel 1 (or maybe it's D-1). Just hunt, and you'll find it.
Cheers,
J
omfg no way i have been waiting on this, or a similar review for ages :D
I have just bought the Spektrum Ultra Micro FPV Camera and vTX kit for 99 bucks! Can't wait for it to arrive and put on my T-28 UM
Looks like fun...and here are a couple of hints from an old guy on soldering detailed work:
Find and use small gauge 63/37 (not 60/40) rosin core solder, and clamp the workpiece lightly in a Panavise or similar with rubber pads on the jaws.
Add a worklight and maybe a magnifier and you're good to go...
please continue explaining the electronics in the RC world, how to solder circuit boards, properly wiring power systems. all this good stuff.
Shout out to peter. I met ya down in panama city beach . I was doing fire inspections at a hotel and walk into a room filled with rc lol. I was like I need to have out with these guys . Nice build man I'm gona try this
I like the idea of that case as well as this little transmitter. Thanks for the video!
Wow, this is awesome! Do you have a video on building the FPV "Black Box" that you're testing with? I'm interested. Thanks!~J~
Making a micro quad for in the house with a Hubsan X4 board, cheap frame, and some brushed motors. Can't wait to add FPV to it! Thanks FliteTest.
OH THIS IS AWESOME, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING QUIT A WHILE FOR THIS SOLUTION!
Liked and subbed.
Awesome Peter. Definitely would like to make one of these. 2 thumbs way way way up
"you dont want to file the solder tip..." Puts down sandpaper and solder tip....... well shoot.
+cheeriomartinez
I ground one to a fine point many years ago....still use it. Have to clean and tin it more often than normal though.
+Haywood Jablomy you can change the tip
+THUNDERBOLT
uhh....yeah...so?
+Haywood Jablomy yeah mine is all wonky now. I could buy another one but.......eh
+cheeriomartinez Soldering tips are nickel plated so that the tip doesn't oxidize when it gets so hot. Use a damp sponge to wipe the tip off. A damp paper towel works in a pinch.
That's complicated,but thanks for talking about the different 5.8 ,had no idea that they are different .
Great Video. Looks good. I just started flying FPV with the Nano QX and have traveled around the house and outside in the yard. I believe the QX FPV only has a 25mW transmitter so 200 Mw would be a significant improvement on range I would think. I wonder how this would work on a Hubsan X4. I havent seen any info on others modding that quad, but I am sure they are out there and that it has been done. The X4 seems like a great platform as it can lift quite a bit and I love the 10 minute flight times with the 500 mAh packs. Any thoughts on this?
That is totally bad ass. I might have to incorporate some of those mini cameras in my helicarrier using a 3 channel camera switch
That looks great!!! So tiny. You can put that on ANYTHING!!!
I would use a smaller dip switch to lower the weight maximum :)
The ones simular to the ones that are mounted to the fatshark vtx's works great.
FPV is impressive. I have an idea for you that would make it even cooler. Can you make a night vision FPV setup? That would be so cool!
ha you guys saved me a lot of freakin money I was just about to go trade in my Ares q 130 for a Ares FPV that would have cost me another $200 thanks again guys
Great video as usual guys. I have a motor question, I want to build a large quad and am very confused about motor choice what is a good motor to list a quad with about a 20 inch motor to motor?
We miss David but Peter does a wonderful job filling his shoes
This is one of my favorite videos. Thanks guys.
Loved the vid guys. Great job of cookbook engineering. It is also a great lesson when trying to accomplish anything check out what other people have done before. You might not want to do it the same way but you will certainly learn a lot and also get some great ideas along the way. Pretty good job of soldering to. Most times when I see soldering done on You Tube it ain't so great.
Rich-notice that Peter avoided heat-sens. IC's and used 2" leads to wick away
iron heat. It looks quite simple, but a lot of thot went into building this lash-up
(he should've mentioned a max iron wattage, tho; say, 37). JL
Great video. What do you use for the receiver? Can you show your receiver setup? Did you build that as well?
Definitely going on my project list after my 100w led torch :)
how many lumens you plan to get out of it?
planing on making a second sun?
Jeremy Brock not sure to be honest as i dont have anything to measure it but lets just say its bright :)
tyler roberts haha its not far from it
TheLukey21 maybe you should make it with infrared LEDs and combine it with this FPV-thingy to make night flights =)
Awesome episode, really missed info like this on the channel. Great design, thanks for sharing.
Very cool build! Thanks!
loved the video especially the fact you used the quad (nine eagles galaxy visitor 3 ) that my grandson has, so you can guess what I will be ordering, one other question will this work with the epson mover BT 200 glasses ?
grate job guys i never use to miss any of ur videos !!
If you run the 3.3v vtx with a 1s, use a 1n4001 diode in series to drop the voltage by 1/3 of a volt to help it from burning out.
Nice job - clearly explained.
Fantastic work guys.
Nice video, good work peter
Peter I thought this was a great video. Very informative and something that looks really fun to build. Thanks again FT for sharing.
Bit charger plane vtx, LOL! Awesome to see, there are pcb vtx boards on ebay around $24. Heat sink on the case helps they do get hot.
Digikey is great for parts like dip switches and led switches.
Unplug power to ccd when taking lens off to avoid sensor burn too.
That was great guys. Much more fun sourcing and making something yourself, rather than buying it from a shop. Can it be used without goggles on a small 7" screen? Kia ora Jon
Nice vid. I would really like to get into this. So how much should I pay for a receiver for this setup?
Could you guys do a review on the Zeta fx-61 phantom wing? It is very similar to the fx-79 buffalo and I think you would enjoy it, and others would too.
Thanks!
Thanks again for that, second time I watched it,,, I am about to do one of mine tomorrow,, good video shame you did not put it to sound,, Thanks again, Pete
Just to say i did mine no trouble this afternoon, I did however not turn it inside out I just put it on as it was ,, Cheers, Pete
pepersorte hi pepersorte is there any way you can send me the links where you bought the parts and a photo of your new trasmiter
thanks
14wacawaca Have I lost the thread there ,,,What parts and what transmitter. I think this is not the video I wrote or wanted to comment on, sorry about that.. . Cheers, pete
your teaching videos are the best, more, please!
Hi
can you also post video for building Receiver same or similar one which you used to test FPV camera or provide and reference video links
Very good tutorial! Man those transmitters got small!
this is sweet stuff. Now I have an idea of how to make my own light weight camera for different view points on a plane cool stuff.
Thanks for the FPV setup
Perfect for the upcoming revolution in FPV Control Line Flying.
THANKY YOU SO MUCH!!!now i can fly with mini fpv. thanks you guys i respect this :D
Great little camera!
Amazing video I managed to me one for under $20 with parts from Banggood the $11 micro camera is amazing way better than my $60 fpv hobby camera with wide angled lens plus the banggood camera already comes focused and with a 170 degree camera which it isn't it's about 130 degrees in actual fact, amazing little thing which has a range of 800m plus
Super Great DIY - Kudos to Peter! Can I just purchase one from you instead?
@ 9:25 Josh justifiably corrects Peter to NOT USE CA in this application. There is a VERY good chance of fogging the sensor, the inside of the lens or the outside of the lens. And if you ever want to change lenses you're going to be pretty much out of luck.
Josh, keep your head up! Looks like you're pointing your Fatshark's cloverleaf dead spot *right* at you model ;)
I love the ground station box, I did notice the ezUHF transmitter in there though, is that just for storage or does it not jam up the rx antenna right next to it?
Great video. Is there a way to set this up to record on a micro card?
Thanks
nice video thanks for the sharing,what can i use as receiver to view the video ?
I like this tiny FPV camera, I'll probably build one once I get a copter capable of carrying it. How about a DIY micro gimbal to mount this to? Would be awesome to have a tiny, mechanically stabilized FPV camera which I built myself.
Great episode guys.
Did you guys say you were going to sell these? all ready built? my soldering skills aren't that good to do that small
Bite the bullet, Snap, and Learn and Practice. Time to stop being a baby
JL
It would be amazing if you made a mini versa wing to use this fpv setup on!
hi there, nice build... something to consider in the future.
I noticed the black plastic case that holds your fpv reception gear. Here can I find one of those???
thkx
Nice video ill try this for my racing boat, i have a question tho, i putchased a quad recently ( cheerson cx 23 ) and its great with one exception - the camera suck, i want to be able to take a little better videos and pictures so my question is - can i swap it out with something of better quality ? Ty :)
Awesome! Can I use a PAL camera instead of a NTSC camera? The PAL is the only one in stock. Thanks guys!
Have you ever tried to put two cams on a plane with the right (or decreased for more immersion) eye distance for a 3D view? Are there even goggles that allow to easily show different video for each eye?
Oculous would do 3d i think.
Yes, but that would probably require quite some signal converting etc.
Zeiss cinemizer 3d, i think

thx
Great stuff, Guys!! Thanks! Keep up the good work!
PLEASE get the mini Ft Cruiser out in time for christmas!!! FPV (possibly long range) with that would be awesome!
Also, is there a cloverleaf antenae I could use instead?
incredible ! do you have millimeters dimensions ? it should fit in an n-scale train too !
Very nice tutorial clip!!! What is the cheapest receiver unit with a monitor I can find online? Thinking about building a quadcopter with this camera attached.
Hey u guys need to review the fms p51 1700mm, it's HUGE! And I am thinking about saving up for one.
I meet Josh at the Seagate Expo! All I can say is he is a really great guy!
If you use a GoPro by water i recommend putting the clear case on it...
You mention make sure to get a compatible frequency often in the video. By buying a 32 channel 5.8 reciever all your bases are covered correct?
Just bought a micro plane the second I saw it! MIGHTY MINIS!!!
Do you have a video on how you made your base station with the video RX and RC control?
CTS makes good dip switches try the CTS-206-3 model! digikey is probably the best place to get stuff like that (think of it as an online super radio shack)
is it also possible to attach a better camera? keep up the good work guys! :)
Awesome guys! Thanks for the education.
awesome work fellas!
