you prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend these days xD
Iforce: Your presentation, humor, conciseness, and tips were both spot on, and delightfully entertaining! Looks pretty darn cold in your FPV demo! Great focus, and exposure. Liked your text overlay commentary too. I'm hoping you will do a video when you figure out how to make a "cheap-ass" head gear or other fine tuning for watching your video on that monitor more conveniently. Great technical considerations, suggestions, and the most organized wiring on your quad I have seen! I'm now a fan of yours. Keep 'em coming! Jim
Hahahaha! Don't worry mate, you aren't the only one watching TH-cam clips all day! ;) We all know there are some great minds out there, TH-cam is thee best platform for exposure. Fantastic tuts *****, truly do appreciate you taking the time to share your findings, who cares if others have done it already, the point is to share pros and cons, such as what you've been doing. For that i thank you!
That's awesome! You may appreciate my balsa quad. Just a 1/8" x 2" x 4.5"balsa sheet with two carbon fiber arms at each end holding 7mm brushed motor mounts for the Hobbyking Pocket Quad, flying the Nano QX flight controller, and motors I took out of a used 1SQ frame. The icing on the cake is the arms are glued and Duck taped on and have never broken.
thank you . i was shocked by your fast reply. i am installing the system on a rc lawn mower so i can sit in the house and tell my wife how hard i'm working while she's out shopping .
Thanks for your video. It's really helpful. One think I didn't quite understand is how do you power up the video audio transmitter and the camera on the quadcopter. Also what lipo did you use for the video receiver and screen monitor ( 2s? )? Did you do modification on one of the wires of the Rx receiver to connect the battery?
angelos christou In this case the video tx was connected to the pins of the battery alarm, so it will be powered up when I connect the battery balance plug to the alarm (see 17:08). I use either a 2S or 3S lipo for the screen and receiver (see 10:40). Yes, I made a splitter connection to make one jst plug go into 2 jst plugs (you can see at 11:38)
regards, to the simplest programmed mower to go a certain default route? I think on the land long 200 m and 100 m wide to put some GPS transmitters and also on the mower and the first time manually go and make her remember the trajectory and according to the program itself the hair. Lp, Jadranka
How can I get the Hero session 4 video feed from the quad copter to mission planner hud ? Is there such a thing as a wifi transmitter I can setup on the drone that will connect to the camera and send the feed to a receiver I can install to the pc , and get the signal to the mission planner hud ? Anyone know ? I need part numbers ! Or do I have to install an separate FPV system , and just turn the go pro on record when I take off ?
Hero sessions don't have any live video out that I'm aware of. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2488167-GoPro-Hero-4-Sessions-Video-Out-Cable-for-fpv
Hello, do you find that when the signal is weak that the screen turns black similar to a blue screen situation? Because I have the same monitor and Im getting that black screen when i have a weak signal.
I loved this video. I have been wondering though if Iforce2D has morphed into Iforce3D yet? Another video documenting his skill in that area would be very welcome. I've noticed that the blackbird and blackbird 2 3D cameras have some promise for side by side 3D video viewing. Comments? Jim
+James C Eastep there is a pretty good (I heard) system that does 3d fpv out of the box, I forget what it was called.... let me search a moment.... th-cam.com/video/wjbh5lKdd-8/w-d-xo.html
+iforce2d Have you noticed this 800x480 LCD for $30 from BangGood? www.banggood.com/Blue-Sky-5-Inch-HD-Digital-Panel-Display-800x480-Snowflakes-Screen-p-970382.html Cheapest I have seen with this resolution. If you mounted 2 of them sideways on a plywood viewing box securely mounted on a tripod and connected them to two Boscam RX5808 receivers: www.banggood.com/FPV-5_8G-Wireless-Audio-Video-Receiving-Module-RX5808-p-84775.html would you then have a live video side by side 3D VR viewing system? You could use the balsa quad you already started ready for a binocular camera as an image source. I would suggest two of these FX758 transmitters tuned to different channels as the transmission system capable of running on 3.7v. To me this all seems very doable. The challenge would be to stich or synch the two video signals together to a single 3D VR feed for side by side 3D viewing afterward with a smaller, more comfortable 3D viewer/cell phone combo like this: www.banggood.com/Universal-3D-VR-Video-Glasses-Virtual-Reality-Free-Controller-For-iPhone-6S-Plus-6Plus-Samsung-HTC-Smartphone-p-1000219.html Does this stimulate your Cheap Ass creative juices? I would like to see you do it. You have much more talent than I for this kind of thing. Send me your email address if you want to discuss further (James.C.Eastep@gmail.com) Jim
+James C Eastep it's not quite as simple as just having two video feeds. Just look at how long the oculus rift has been in development without an official release. Getting a nice result requires having the screens at the right distance and angle, so that ideally the field of view of each eye will overlap the other by a large amount, which requires some carefully made lenses to bend the light correctly. I would think the whole thing needs to be attached to your head too, so screens that large would be a problem. Overall it seems to me the kind of thing that a cheapass attempt would never really do very well. If I had lots of money I would try it by modifying a fatshark style goggle set to show different views to each eye, and see how that goes for a start.
Hi mate need your help iam going to order the boscam stuff on 2.4ghz but looking to buy one of them cheap video cam with most of them work if you got links to some it will be a big help
I have one of those 10mw modules kicking about which has sat doing nothing for about 3 years but now I'm looking to try and build an ultralight setup and hopefully get a micro heli airborne with fpv for giggles while our UK winter prohibits my fixed wing flying. I'll use 30awg wires for everything from power to the camera connection and I'm gonna solder a diy coax dipole directly to the pads for minimum weight but is there any reason why the shielding box can't be removed as well for further weight loss? Ultralight fpv transmitters like the eachine vtx01/02/03 have no shielding but weigh more than one of these!
The shielding helps reduce interference, it can be removed for a small signal quality loss. Unless you are going far away I'm not sure it would matter.
@@iforce2d no, not going far, 30m at the very most. ill remove the shielding and see how it behaves, its got to weigh a fair chunk of the modules overall weight and can bring it down a significant amount if i remove it. ive made a ultra light coax dipole for it that ive soldered directly to the module, i need the absolute minimum weight possible for this setup but range is not an issue
BearNamedJoeOnceMore It doesn't get much cheaper, but for a similar price you can get slightly better/more convenient setup. I suggest you search around on ebay, banggood etc www.banggood.com/buy/FPV-transmitter.html
hi, me again :D, question you recommend Dal 700tvl camera (SKU183213), but it's a 12V camera, it's still compatible with the 5.8ghz transmitter Tx5823 ?? Did tou buy this camera, and if so, can you manage to do some stuff over I2C (like brightness control, or other stuff) i can't found a datasheet for this one? i hope my question aren't too stupid and annoy you, thanks from France
Yes, I'm using the DAL 700TVL camera, but with SKU072090 for the transmitter. It's much easier to set up than TX5823 because the camera just plugs straight in and you get an antenna etc included. It also has an onboard microphone and dip switches to change the channel, and only costs a few dollars more than TX5823. I have not found any good resources about I2C for the DAL camera... well, somebody gave me a link in the banggood forums but I have not checked it out yet.
Oki i go look on banggood for the datasheet and try to do something if i succed i give you a link 😉 Edit some link i found, may be help other too : - www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Imaging/TCM8240MD_E150405_REV13.pdf (datasheet) - www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Imaging/TCM8240MD_APPNOTE041214.pdf (datasheet appnote) - exemple code (fenrir.naruoka.org/archives/000775.html)
Hey, Awesome work dude.. Really appreciable.. Thanks a lot for the tutorial...I have a doubt, how can i record the video and can take photos from the fpv camera? Please help me out on this, because i am a beginner so i don't know how can i record video form the fpv camera on the cheapass quadcopter.
+Palkesh Agrawal you can use an analog video recorder, often called a DVR, to record the signal on the ground from the receiver. Photos... I guess you can pause the DVR video and look at it :)
+iforce2d Thank you very much. I think it will work for me, but i am thinking that can't we link the video recording and photo capturing option on our remote control. So, that we can turn on/off recording and can capture photos via turning on/off any two switches on our remote control.
+Palkesh Agrawal well there would be no photo capturing 'option'.... just record the video the whole time. If you want to turn the DVR off and on, it will be sitting beside you on the ground, no need for any remote control. But typically, if you want decent video you would have a second camera (HD camera) on the quad to record, that's what everybody does.
+iforce2d Thanks for the help dude. You are awesome. Now i am going to purchase an FPV screen with built in DVR which is good option for me. I want to ask you, can I use the tx/rx antenna set separately for different purpose or should i have to use them for same purpose. I want to connect my tx antenna to my NRF24L01 tx module and i want to connect rx antenna to 200mw wireless tx module for FPV. This setup will work or not? Please help me out.
where can i find a wall wart for the rc805 or i viewed your video on regulated power supplies for leds and i can build a power supply for the rx but what is the polarity. this is all i have left for my mower project.. tthanks mr.L
cuyler wilkinson I think any wall adaptor that puts out around 8-12v would be fine. As far as I know, the center pin of the connector is always positive
i rolled the dice and supplied each with a 9v+series double AA's came out with 12.43vdc positive center pin, walking around trees 100m away static occurs a nano second. attaching to mower in a.m.
Hi I bought this VTX/cam setup and i'm using it on a brushed micro 100mm plastic king kong running 1s battery, and getting MAJOR noise/video tearing the second that I put props on and give it some throttle. Any idea what might be wrong ? I even tried to add an LC filter, and that di not fix anything
hmm... all I could suggest was an LC filter :) But 1S seems quite low voltage... when the motors start up the voltage will sag even further. This module is typically run at 5v
I just built a similar setup. Same camera but I used the 200mW transmitter. Have not flown it outside yet due to snow. I mounted it on a Syma X5c-1 Quad
Is that the 200mW like I have in this video (tiny box module)? How are you finding it? After this video I set mine up with a much better arrangement using the protoboard like I showed, I even used 470uf caps as suggested in the instructions, but I had a lot of trouble with it and ended up not using it - it never seemed to last more than a couple of minutes and would just suddenly turn off even when just sitting there on the desk, and it was not hot at all, just barely a little warm. I ended up getting one of these, which at the moment is only $6 more and comes all set up with heat-sink and better support circuitry, switches to change channels, an antenna and a microphone, and no need for soldering: www.banggood.com/Boscam-FPV-5_8G-200mW-AV-Wireless-Transmitter-TS351-p-73198.html This works really nice and I actually got another one before the price goes back up :)
***** Yes the 200mW looks exactly the same, $10 at banggood. I bought the RC732-DVR which is a monitor with built in receiver (nothing but problems I would advise not to get this one). The camera is something I bought on ebay for $8.00. I use a 1 s 3.7v battery from my Blade Nano QX. Finally had a chance to fly it yesterday and it worked. I was only about 100 feet away but still had good video.
I can't answer that because your question is not complete without saying how long you want it to run for... :) fwiw I have used a 3S 1800mAh and it ran for over an hour with plenty of charge left.
***** you're right, I left out some vital info :) i have 2 batteries for my qaud that last each up to 12 minits. So I won't be needing more than 30 minits. But with your answer above, I know enough. Nice vid by the way, helps a fpv noob like me a lot :)
It would depend on the camera I guess. This particular camera runs fine on a 1S lipo as I'm doing in the video, and recently I'm running it from the main battery with a 3.3v regulator (tinyurl.com/kfj38y4) and it works well with that too. You might not be so lucky with other cameras that are rated 5-12v, if they really do need that higher voltage. It may also depend on the type of TX you're using too - obviously a camera running on 3.3v cannot generate signal level any higher than that, so the TX would have to be able to use the 3.3v signal.
I am going to be putting a Sony Super 600 camera with a Amoway 200mw 5.8GHz transmitter on my quad. Would I be able to just use the receiver and tv that you used to receive video signal?
Chris Harris I dunno man, I usually start with google. Somewhere I seem to recall somebody mentioning that not all 5.8ghz systems were compatible. Google "5.8ghz compatibilty" or something, or look for more info about that one you have and what bands it uses.
Luca Nsh Depends on the power of the transmitter, but I don't think a 350mAh would last long. I don't know anything about the rc805, surely there must be some specs you can check?
the price of fpv continues to drop almost daily. Hobby King just released a set of goggles that prwtty much anyone can afford. couple that with cheap receivers and camara's and you can be flying fpv. I have been putting it off myself because I just dont care about it,but I think so others can ride along while I fly,that would be the only reason I would invest.
Go to Banggood.com for about $24 you can buy a kit with 720p camera, and 5.8g 32ch video transmitter. Then you can buy a $35 dollar receiver also from Banggood. I was on a quest to build a Zmr250 with full functions and full fpv under $175 and succeeded.
Thanks for the video, I am looking to do something very similar. Any chance you could include a few links in the comments to the components you bought?
You can search for these SKUs on that site: Camera SKU136113 Transmitter SKU075325 Antenna mount SKU130504 Antenna adapter SKU130457 Antenna set SKU157691 Receiver SKU072093 Screen SKU156978 Lens SKU102932
***** .. Quick Q for you. Would you have any clue as to how (when i do eventually get to that stage) i'd be able to have this display on an android tablet? I have a great tablet with an extra long life span, a very bright display and think it would serve well for this purpose. Just wouldn't know where to begin
Stefan Bachrodt Short answer is you won't have it on android tablet. This is analog video and there is not much to be gained from converting it to digital. The image quality will not get any better and it will probably introduce more delay, and use more power in the process. In the long run you'll have a much better experience viewing through some kind of goggles than a monitor like I've use here.
***** Thanks for the speedy response on that, it's rather unfortunate as my reason for stumbling across your videos is entirely due to the words, "cheap-ass" in your title! =D I've seen what these goggles go for and considering its materials, manufacturing and design, it's still far to expensive. Esspesially since only one person can see what's going on. It's not in my nature to be ripped off, what you're paying for with those goggles is basically just the lens assembly and a tiny LCD screen. The plastic housing, switches and 3 circuit boards are barely worth $60 if we were to order parts ourselves. Can you imagine how cheap FatShark or SkyZone must be getting them for? No no, DIY it is for me haha. Besides. Do those goggles even have a "Video out" option for me to connect to a VGA monitor / mini pocket projector / projector with separate power source?
Stefan Bachrodt That's true, I don't think I will ever buy any fatshark type goggles. I have been using the $25 Quanum 'goggles' which are not too bad, and they have just released a version2 ($55 from HobbyKing) which has a bunch of improvements and many people say they prefer them to fatshark. See th-cam.com/video/VZWAcan6F90/w-d-xo.html
***** My goodness! The V2 Quanum!! Now that is a very nice find i must admit. Bit bulky but absolutely great value for money considering the screen resolution. And how's that cinematic effect!? I think it's incredibly rare to come across anything that would immerses you into the scene quite like this does. Will have a look around the net to see if anyone can compete with hobbykings offers =P Truly appreciate your input and i love your videos, i find then incredibly informative! You've inspired me something silly and honestly can't wait to be getting my project underway. I'm still in the process of watching your Cheap-ass Quadcopter Build series, the vids are a tad bit lengthy but very informative so please do consider doing more series such as that in the future. Hearing your thoughts on matters is more so appreciated than let on by most!
nice setup video! I have the same setup on my "franken-syma x5c-1! 1 question : on the tx 5823 when the channels are not connected = its channel 1 not channel 8. tell me if Im wrong.
If you can find a video card with an analog video in, might work. I really don't see the point though. This video got old really fast, you can buy a decent facebox style goggles really cheap now: goo.gl/0LtwVL
Thanks for the Response! Forgive me for my lack of knowledge... lol i really am just starting out... If i were to buy that facebox all i need from there is a transmitter and a camera connected, Am i correct? ( i want to use a Gorp Hero 4 )
Hi, I really like your all video about the "cheapass quadcopter", but i have 2 question : - Possibilitty to use a smartphone to display the fpv ? i think so but i don't found really nice tuto. - Add some osd on the video directly with the arduino, i found that : www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1473207 but i want your opignion. Thanks for all !
The display and video transmission signals used here are all analog, and it's fast because there is no heavy OS in the way. To display video on a smartphone would require analog to digital conversion and would be slower. I'm not saying you couldn't do it, but I don't think it would give much advantage. These screens are so cheap, the cost you would save by using your phone is not much anyway. That rcgroups thread is pretty old. You can now buy many purpose built modules for OSD that will do that, and many flight controllers have an output pin for that purpose.
Knuth Helekivi If you have the video already compressed it would be no problem, but for FPV you don't. Let us know what hardware you would use for ADC and to compress video on the fly, and how much power it uses and how much it weighs :) My desktop PC has a quad-core 3.4GHz CPU and it uses about 6% of that to compress a 640x480 video that is already digital. Maybe you could use a video capture card somehow, or maybe the compressed stream from a GoPro etc, but I don't think it gives much advantage to just using a regular FPV transmitter which is cheap and has less lag.
+Paul Little no, that's just they way it's made. It's not really the best for this sort of thing. Unfortunately with the pace of new products coming out this video got old really fast :)
These days I would probably suggest the Eachine MC-01 all-in-one unit (camera + vtx + antenna) which I tested here: th-cam.com/video/iQHRtHQGjlc/w-d-xo.html For receiver and goggles, recently I got an (Eachine again!) VR-008 goo.gl/s5YtYY This will be more like $75 all up, but you can pretty much just take them out of the box and start using, no soldering :) You will also get raceband channels and a much more convenient package at both ends.
make a box and put the monitor inside. stick it under a baseballcap and youve got goggles. or order the quanum diy goggles from hobbyking, They really add to the experience.
This might have been said already,but without reading through all the comments I'll say it anyway. People don't like these monitors because they switch off with a weak signal. It's much better to have to have a static filled picture, than it is for your monitor to switch off mid-flight.
Adam Croot yeah that's true, I think I mentioned it at some point. I would now recommend the 'quanum' goggles from Hobby King, which I use these days: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__53706__Quanum_DIY_FPV_Goggle_Set_with_Monitor_KIT_.html The monitor I showed in this video would be ok to let somebody ride along though if you had a second vrx.
Take a look at this on banggood SKU: SKU200088. 200mW transm. with 700 tvl camera 110 degrees. Transmitter power 5 volts. comes with 3s ballance plug. so no sodering for 20 euro...
+Max de Feijter depends how long you want things to run for, and where you put it.... these days I use a 2S 4000mAh battery for the receiver and screen and it lasts for ages, the heavy weight is ok because I put it on the ground beside me. Most people attach the battery to their head, so they use something smaller like a 1500mAh.
+iforce2d Another question... How do all the wires go on the screen-RX thingy? I've got lots of them here and I'm a little confused... Can you stretch them out and send pics or something? I'm confused mostly in the power part. Thanks!
Hey, I'm now thinking of getting an FPV setup. Reading the discussion below, wanted just to hear what you would recommend for the transmitter between: eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Eachine-700TVL-13-Cmos-FPV-110-Degree-Camera-w32CH-Transmission-wp-Uk-965760.html Or the TS351 transmitter. Or any other that you might recommend. I'm looking for something that's pretty straightforward to setup, and also does the job quite well. I'm a beginner quad flyer still really, so I won't be flying huge distances. Thanks very much, Joe
You can get small battery powered video recorders that write to SD cards, but the quality of the live video is not very good. That's why I used a mobius camera for the recording instead.
dj minions de spicable yes, most people use two cameras like this. You can position the second camera any way you like, or put it on a gimbal to control the angle while flying.
dj minions de spicable yes, but there is a delay of about 0.3 seconds, makes it more difficult to control and annoying. There are plenty of videos about this here on TH-cam if you search around
I know this is an "old" video but there are other options now. you can go for the quanum goggles(www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__78125__Quanum_DIY_FPV_Goggle_V2_w_5_inch_LCD_Monitor_Kit_.html) then buy the 305 5.8 receiver(eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-FPV-5_8G-8CH-200mW-AV-Wireless-Receiver-RC305-wp-Uk-73203.html), and for transmitter there is:(eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Eachine-700TVL-13-Cmos-FPV-110-Degree-Camera-w32CH-Transmission-wp-Uk-965760.html) antenna`s:(eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-5_8Ghz-Mushroom-Omnidirectional-Antenna-For-transmitter-wp-Uk-942317.html) i used this to put on my close range bixler and it goes pretty far for the price(expect about 1k range)
YellowBlue RC yeah I like them well enough, but the strap is pretty crappy. I also noticed there is quite a difference in picture between what I see in the goggles, and what I see in the video recorded by the DVR when I watch it afterwards. In the goggles, there is a lot more white-out saturation to the point where I can't see well, even when the DVR has recorded a pretty nice picture. Unfortunately the brightness and contrast adjustments of the screen don't seem to do shit... maybe the screen is faulty. That new version of the quanum looks really nice, I will probably get that sooner or later.
***** yeah i have the v1`s too and i quite like it but like you said i have the same problems but what do you expect from a $45 screen and stuff. but even with all these issues i would still recommend it as I don't like lose screens and other goggles are way too expensive. I will get the v2`s too someday..
can i use prety much any transitter(5.8G near 400 mW) with the reciver in the vid and the googles from hobyking www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__53706__Quanum_DIY_FPV_Goggle_Set_with_Monitor_KIT_.html

Looks pretty darn cold in your FPV demo! Great focus, and exposure. Liked your text overlay commentary too.
I'm hoping you will do a video when you figure out how to make a "cheap-ass" head gear or other fine tuning for watching your video on that monitor more conveniently.
Great technical considerations, suggestions, and the most organized wiring on your quad I have seen!
I'm now a fan of yours. Keep 'em coming!

That's awesome! You may appreciate my balsa quad. Just a 1/8" x 2" x 4.5"balsa sheet with two carbon fiber arms at each end holding 7mm brushed motor mounts for the Hobbyking Pocket Quad, flying the Nano QX flight controller, and motors I took out of a used 1SQ frame. The icing on the cake is the arms are glued and Duck taped on and have never broken.
Cheers chap. Thank you for the informative video, love the tips.
really nice work you did there man!
This really inspired me to take out my gear and experiment a little! :D
thank you . i was shocked by your fast reply. i am installing the system on a rc lawn mower so i can sit in the house and tell my wife how hard i'm working while she's out shopping .
cuyler wilkinson cool! Just mind the flowers :)
Neat video thanks. Great useful camera work and good comentary. Nice to hear solder pronounced correctly :)
I'm all about cheap ass stuff. Great setup!
Nice video! You're making me want to build one of these :D
I think this was the time I stopped flying my drone LOS(multiwii) because going fpv was kinda hard, if not expensive.
thanks for the time rewind 😄👍
You explain it well ,
make it easy
Thanks
I like your videos so much, thanks for making them
Thanks for sharing! I think I'll try out the camera lens combo you're using. Worth a shot for $10. I've been using the mobius for fpv....
pure practical genius
Wow this helped me a lot!
thanks for posting, very helpful...
well i have to say congrads for your first flight
Nice little setup iam looking to get fpv 4 my dji phantom but theres a lot of stuff you can buy but its doing my head in
Great tips btw.
Ive powered my camera and transmitter from the power distribution board. Do you think this is a good option, or is there a better way to do it?
simply great
Thanks for your video. It's really helpful. One think I didn't quite understand is how do you power up the video audio transmitter and the camera on the quadcopter. Also what lipo did you use for the video receiver and screen monitor ( 2s? )? Did you do modification on one of the wires of the Rx receiver to connect the battery?
angelos christou In this case the video tx was connected to the pins of the battery alarm, so it will be powered up when I connect the battery balance plug to the alarm (see 17:08). I use either a 2S or 3S lipo for the screen and receiver (see 10:40). Yes, I made a splitter connection to make one jst plug go into 2 jst plugs (you can see at 11:38)
great little set up, did i miss you saying the range, who would have thought of getting the parts from that spot
It seems to be ok for about 100m with clear line-of-sight
Would this be too heavy for a XTREME Quadforce Quadcopter?
Great Video God Bless!! :D
FPV without goggles are like driving a car where the front window have been replaced with wood
Not really. it is like driving in reverse.
this guy made me laugh so many times lmfao "wait cut, i sometimes watch youtube all day"
im running the same setup as you.But my monitor keeps flashing when all connected.It wont show whats the camera seeing.How do i solve this?
Which battery are you using?
regards,
to the simplest programmed mower to go a certain default route?
I think on the land long 200 m and 100 m wide to put some GPS transmitters and also on the mower and the first time manually go and make her remember the trajectory and according to the program itself the hair.

Are you talking about cutting grass? I don't know how it relates to this video, but I would think GPS is not accurate enough.
do i need the monitor if i am viewing from a tv. is it capable or what else will i need to make it capable to view from either tv (ntsc) or computer
cuyler wilkinson if the TV has those RCA inputs, you can use the TV
Silly question but would I be able to use an 8 channel receiver with a 32 channel transmitter?
Deepa Thakrar I believe so, yes. I think the 32 channel ones just break the spectrum up into finer divisions.
How can I get the Hero session 4 video feed from the quad copter to mission planner hud ? Is there such a thing as a wifi transmitter I can setup on the drone that will connect to the camera and send the feed to a receiver I can install to the pc , and get the signal to the mission planner hud ? Anyone know ? I need part numbers ! Or do I have to install an separate FPV system , and just turn the go pro on record when I take off ?
Hero sessions don't have any live video out that I'm aware of.

Hello, do you find that when the signal is weak that the screen turns black similar to a blue screen situation? Because I have the same monitor and Im getting that black screen when i have a weak signal.
Yes, pretty sure I mention at some point that this screen is not the ideal type for FPV.
like, todo work, is very good.
I loved this video. I have been wondering though if Iforce2D has morphed into Iforce3D yet?
Another video documenting his skill in that area would be very welcome.
I've noticed that the blackbird and blackbird 2 3D cameras have some promise for side by side 3D video viewing.
Comments?

+James C Eastep there is a pretty good (I heard) system that does 3d fpv out of the box, I forget what it was called.... let me search a moment.... th-cam.com/video/wjbh5lKdd-8/w-d-xo.html
+iforce2d
Have you noticed this 800x480 LCD for $30 from BangGood?
www.banggood.com/Blue-Sky-5-Inch-HD-Digital-Panel-Display-800x480-Snowflakes-Screen-p-970382.html
Cheapest I have seen with this resolution. If you mounted 2 of them sideways on a plywood viewing box securely mounted on a tripod and connected them to two Boscam RX5808 receivers:
www.banggood.com/FPV-5_8G-Wireless-Audio-Video-Receiving-Module-RX5808-p-84775.html
would you then have a live video side by side 3D VR viewing system?
You could use the balsa quad you already started ready for a binocular camera as an image source.
I would suggest two of these FX758 transmitters tuned to different channels as the transmission system capable of running on 3.7v.
To me this all seems very doable. The challenge would be to stich or synch the two video signals together to a single 3D VR feed for side by side 3D viewing afterward with a smaller, more comfortable 3D viewer/cell phone combo like this:
www.banggood.com/Universal-3D-VR-Video-Glasses-Virtual-Reality-Free-Controller-For-iPhone-6S-Plus-6Plus-Samsung-HTC-Smartphone-p-1000219.html
Does this stimulate your Cheap Ass creative juices? I would like to see you do it. You have much more talent than I for this kind of thing.
Send me your email address if you want to discuss further (James.C.Eastep@gmail.com)

+James C Eastep it's not quite as simple as just having two video feeds. Just look at how long the oculus rift has been in development without an official release. Getting a nice result requires having the screens at the right distance and angle, so that ideally the field of view of each eye will overlap the other by a large amount, which requires some carefully made lenses to bend the light correctly. I would think the whole thing needs to be attached to your head too, so screens that large would be a problem. Overall it seems to me the kind of thing that a cheapass attempt would never really do very well. If I had lots of money I would try it by modifying a fatshark style goggle set to show different views to each eye, and see how that goes for a start.
Hi mate need your help iam going to order the boscam stuff on 2.4ghz but looking to buy one of them cheap video cam with most of them work if you got links to some it will be a big help
Nick Walters try searching around on sites like banggood
I have one of those 10mw modules kicking about which has sat doing nothing for about 3 years but now I'm looking to try and build an ultralight setup and hopefully get a micro heli airborne with fpv for giggles while our UK winter prohibits my fixed wing flying.
I'll use 30awg wires for everything from power to the camera connection and I'm gonna solder a diy coax dipole directly to the pads for minimum weight but is there any reason why the shielding box can't be removed as well for further weight loss? Ultralight fpv transmitters like the eachine vtx01/02/03 have no shielding but weigh more than one of these!
The shielding helps reduce interference, it can be removed for a small signal quality loss. Unless you are going far away I'm not sure it would matter.
@@iforce2d no, not going far, 30m at the very most.
ill remove the shielding and see how it behaves, its got to weigh a fair chunk of the modules overall weight and can bring it down a significant amount if i remove it.
ive made a ultra light coax dipole for it that ive soldered directly to the module, i need the absolute minimum weight possible for this setup but range is not an issue
is there a kit with the same as here i can buy ready made? thanks
Andrew Bailey yes, many. As a start you could try searching on banggood for "fpv transmitter" www.banggood.com/buy/Fpv-transmitter.html
thanks for your video..im dying to try this..i have dji phantom 2.i want to use hero 2 as fpv camera a nd recorder
I took the quicker route and bought the WLL toys V686 Quad, it just needs better antennas and the wider lens
+Ruudy L yay that can be fun but for me i like buying the parts and making it my self. it gives me a good feeling.
Are there any updated/cheaper versions of these items online?
BearNamedJoeOnceMore It doesn't get much cheaper, but for a similar price you can get slightly better/more convenient setup. I suggest you search around on ebay, banggood etc www.banggood.com/buy/FPV-transmitter.html
hi, me again :D, question you recommend Dal 700tvl camera (SKU183213), but it's a 12V camera, it's still compatible with the 5.8ghz transmitter Tx5823 ??
Did tou buy this camera, and if so, can you manage to do some stuff over I2C (like brightness control, or other stuff) i can't found a datasheet for this one?
i hope my question aren't too stupid and annoy you, thanks from France
Yes, I'm using the DAL 700TVL camera, but with SKU072090 for the transmitter. It's much easier to set up than TX5823 because the camera just plugs straight in and you get an antenna etc included. It also has an onboard microphone and dip switches to change the channel, and only costs a few dollars more than TX5823. I have not found any good resources about I2C for the DAL camera... well, somebody gave me a link in the banggood forums but I have not checked it out yet.
Oki i go look on banggood for the datasheet and try to do something if i succed i give you a link 😉
Edit some link i found, may be help other too :

Hey, Awesome work dude.. Really appreciable.. Thanks a lot for the tutorial...I have a doubt, how can i record the video and can take photos from the fpv camera? Please help me out on this, because i am a beginner so i don't know how can i record video form the fpv camera on the cheapass quadcopter.
+Palkesh Agrawal you can use an analog video recorder, often called a DVR, to record the signal on the ground from the receiver. Photos... I guess you can pause the DVR video and look at it :)
+iforce2d Thank you very much. I think it will work for me, but i am thinking that can't we link the video recording and photo capturing option on our remote control. So, that we can turn on/off recording and can capture photos via turning on/off any two switches on our remote control.
+Palkesh Agrawal well there would be no photo capturing 'option'.... just record the video the whole time. If you want to turn the DVR off and on, it will be sitting beside you on the ground, no need for any remote control. But typically, if you want decent video you would have a second camera (HD camera) on the quad to record, that's what everybody does.
+iforce2d Thanks for the help dude. You are awesome. Now i am going to purchase an FPV screen with built in DVR which is good option for me. I want to ask you, can I use the tx/rx antenna set separately for different purpose or should i have to use them for same purpose. I want to connect my tx antenna to my NRF24L01 tx module and i want to connect rx antenna to 200mw wireless tx module for FPV. This setup will work or not? Please help me out.
The flight video at the end, you mention that the view is different from what you see in the FPV. What camera did you use? was it a Mobius?
Yes, the video seen here is shot by the mobius.
nice. i power all my camera stuff off of my low battery alarm two. i thought i was quite clever.
I got a DWI Dowellin full FPV setup with screen, camera, quadcopter etc for £17.99
where can i find a wall wart for the rc805 or i viewed your video on regulated power supplies for leds and i can build a power supply for the rx but what is the polarity. this is all i have left for my mower project.. tthanks mr.L
cuyler wilkinson I think any wall adaptor that puts out around 8-12v would be fine. As far as I know, the center pin of the connector is always positive
i rolled the dice and supplied each with a 9v+series double AA's came out with 12.43vdc positive center pin, walking around trees 100m away static occurs a nano second. attaching to mower in a.m.
Hi I bought this VTX/cam setup and i'm using it on a brushed micro 100mm plastic king kong running 1s battery, and getting MAJOR noise/video tearing the second that I put props on and give it some throttle. Any idea what might be wrong ? I even tried to add an LC filter, and that di not fix anything
hmm... all I could suggest was an LC filter :) But 1S seems quite low voltage... when the motors start up the voltage will sag even further. This module is typically run at 5v
thanks for the input. I was thinking the same thing. I guess i will have to test it out with more voltage
I just built a similar setup. Same camera but I used the 200mW transmitter.
Have not flown it outside yet due to snow. I mounted it on a Syma X5c-1 Quad
Is that the 200mW like I have in this video (tiny box module)? How are you finding it? After this video I set mine up with a much better arrangement using the protoboard like I showed, I even used 470uf caps as suggested in the instructions, but I had a lot of trouble with it and ended up not using it - it never seemed to last more than a couple of minutes and would just suddenly turn off even when just sitting there on the desk, and it was not hot at all, just barely a little warm. I ended up getting one of these, which at the moment is only $6 more and comes all set up with heat-sink and better support circuitry, switches to change channels, an antenna and a microphone, and no need for soldering: www.banggood.com/Boscam-FPV-5_8G-200mW-AV-Wireless-Transmitter-TS351-p-73198.html This works really nice and I actually got another one before the price goes back up :)
*****
It's now 19,99$, how much did you buy it ?
kit6580 It says USD 16.39 when I look at that page, that's what I paid.
*****
Double checked. It was the US store price ;-) Sorry
*****
Yes the 200mW looks exactly the same, $10 at banggood. I bought the RC732-DVR which is a monitor with built in receiver (nothing but problems I would advise not to get this one). The camera is something I bought on ebay for $8.00. I use a 1 s 3.7v battery from my Blade Nano QX. Finally had a chance to fly it yesterday and it worked. I was only about 100 feet away but still had good video.
how much mah should the battery have that powers the reciever/screen? I have some jst-abtterys at home but I think they don't have enough juice :)
I can't answer that because your question is not complete without saying how long you want it to run for... :) fwiw I have used a 3S 1800mAh and it ran for over an hour with plenty of charge left.
***** you're right, I left out some vital info :) i have 2 batteries for my qaud that last each up to 12 minits. So I won't be needing more than 30 minits. But with your answer above, I know enough. Nice vid by the way, helps a fpv noob like me a lot :)
nice!
Right on
In theory couldnt you do the same thing except have the video feed going straight to android device?
What happens if you put gasoline instead of water in a water rocket and fire it
The camera you used is a 5-12v camera but the output of the board is only around 3v. So you can use a 5-12v camera on a setup like this?
It would depend on the camera I guess. This particular camera runs fine on a 1S lipo as I'm doing in the video, and recently I'm running it from the main battery with a 3.3v regulator (tinyurl.com/kfj38y4) and it works well with that too. You might not be so lucky with other cameras that are rated 5-12v, if they really do need that higher voltage. It may also depend on the type of TX you're using too - obviously a camera running on 3.3v cannot generate signal level any higher than that, so the TX would have to be able to use the 3.3v signal.
***** Oke thanks for the info
throwing out a perfectly normal new key chain camera!!!
I am going to be putting a Sony Super 600 camera with a Amoway 200mw 5.8GHz transmitter on my quad. Would I be able to just use the receiver and tv that you used to receive video signal?
Chris Harris I think so, yes. Better to check with a more official source of information though :)
Herm, still very new at this. Any recommendations on where to check?
Chris Harris I dunno man, I usually start with google. Somewhere I seem to recall somebody mentioning that not all 5.8ghz systems were compatible. Google "5.8ghz compatibilty" or something, or look for more info about that one you have and what bands it uses.
camera and tx - 1s 350mah is ok (?)
for the skyzone rc805 - which battery i need?
Luca Nsh Depends on the power of the transmitter, but I don't think a 350mAh would last long. I don't know anything about the rc805, surely there must be some specs you can check?
***** just the power supply, which battery do you use for your receiver?
Luca Nsh I usually use a 2S 4000mAh RC car battery
the price of fpv continues to drop almost daily. Hobby King just released a set of goggles that prwtty much anyone can afford. couple that with cheap receivers and camara's and you can be flying fpv. I have been putting it off myself because I just dont care about it,but I think so others can ride along while I fly,that would be the only reason I would invest.
Could i mount this setup on a H8 mini quad or would it be too heavy?
+Powder Warriors you mean the JJRC H8? Way too heavy... I don't think you could mount anything at all on that little guy.
ok thanks :)
+iforce2d This guy did it, although I think the motor and circuit would be stressed. - watch?v=DREHnDY1WVk
+Wavefront101 I have this mod + prop guards and works great. Just lowers flight time.
Hey how do all those wires go on the RX? I'm really confused. Halp please.
+Max de Feijter there is a diagram on the product listing page
+iforce2d Well I'm an idiot. 😐 Yep. Thanks again!
+iforce2d Well I'm an idiot. Yep. Thanks again!
Go to Banggood.com for about $24 you can buy a kit with 720p camera, and 5.8g 32ch video transmitter. Then you can buy a $35 dollar receiver also from Banggood. I was on a quest to build a Zmr250 with full functions and full fpv under $175 and succeeded.
Thanks for the video, I am looking to do something very similar. Any chance you could include a few links in the comments to the components you bought?

***** great, thanks for that.
***** .. Quick Q for you. Would you have any clue as to how (when i do eventually get to that stage) i'd be able to have this display on an android tablet? I have a great tablet with an extra long life span, a very bright display and think it would serve well for this purpose. Just wouldn't know where to begin
Stefan Bachrodt Short answer is you won't have it on android tablet. This is analog video and there is not much to be gained from converting it to digital. The image quality will not get any better and it will probably introduce more delay, and use more power in the process. In the long run you'll have a much better experience viewing through some kind of goggles than a monitor like I've use here.
*****
Thanks for the speedy response on that, it's rather unfortunate as my reason for stumbling across your videos is entirely due to the words, "cheap-ass" in your title! =D
I've seen what these goggles go for and considering its materials, manufacturing and design, it's still far to expensive. Esspesially since only one person can see what's going on. It's not in my nature to be ripped off, what you're paying for with those goggles is basically just the lens assembly and a tiny LCD screen. The plastic housing, switches and 3 circuit boards are barely worth $60 if we were to order parts ourselves. Can you imagine how cheap FatShark or SkyZone must be getting them for? No no, DIY it is for me haha. Besides. Do those goggles even have a "Video out" option for me to connect to a VGA monitor / mini pocket projector / projector with separate power source?
Stefan Bachrodt That's true, I don't think I will ever buy any fatshark type goggles. I have been using the $25 Quanum 'goggles' which are not too bad, and they have just released a version2 ($55 from HobbyKing) which has a bunch of improvements and many people say they prefer them to fatshark. See th-cam.com/video/VZWAcan6F90/w-d-xo.html
***** My goodness! The V2 Quanum!! Now that is a very nice find i must admit. Bit bulky but absolutely great value for money considering the screen resolution. And how's that cinematic effect!? I think it's incredibly rare to come across anything that would immerses you into the scene quite like this does. Will have a look around the net to see if anyone can compete with hobbykings offers =P Truly appreciate your input and i love your videos, i find then incredibly informative! You've inspired me something silly and honestly can't wait to be getting my project underway. I'm still in the process of watching your Cheap-ass Quadcopter Build series, the vids are a tad bit lengthy but very informative so please do consider doing more series such as that in the future. Hearing your thoughts on matters is more so appreciated than let on by most!
nice
Haha. You're funny!
i thought the white lead was audio and the yellow was video?
yes... what I said :)
Por q no dejas los lik.de donde puede compar
what if u want to use my car dvd monitor can i connect it and see on it
+Hiten Patel It's quite likely that it will work. I think the screen I have in this video is basically the same as used in many car reversing monitors
ok thx
No links?
nice setup video! I have the same setup on my "franken-syma x5c-1! 1 question : on the tx 5823 when the channels are not connected = its channel 1 not channel 8. tell me if Im wrong.
not sure what you mean by "channels are not connected".... but when I used it out of the box without changing anything, it was on channel 8
***** my bad :) I was holding my rx upside down :D by the way, how is your "3D" project going? :) thx for the fast respond :)
Gábor Major
you mean the autopilot thing? Haven't done much on it lately
***** I mean the 2 cameras for stereoscopic view, 3D.
Gábor Major
ah, I never really had full intention to do that, I was just saying it's a possibility :)
if i wanted to have the video broadcast to my mac laptop or my pc how would i do that?
If you can find a video card with an analog video in, might work. I really don't see the point though. This video got old really fast, you can buy a decent facebox style goggles really cheap now: goo.gl/0LtwVL
Thanks for the Response!
Forgive me for my lack of knowledge... lol i really am just starting out... If i were to buy that facebox all i need from there is a transmitter and a camera connected, Am i correct? ( i want to use a Gorp Hero 4 )
Yes, camera and video transmitter. This might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/ZYIUB6-BS_A/w-d-xo.html
iforce2d awesome. Thanks for your help mate!
Hi,
I really like your all video about the "cheapass quadcopter", but i have 2 question :
- Possibilitty to use a smartphone to display the fpv ? i think so but i don't found really nice tuto.
- Add some osd on the video directly with the arduino, i found that : www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1473207 but i want your opignion.
Thanks for all !
The display and video transmission signals used here are all analog, and it's fast because there is no heavy OS in the way. To display video on a smartphone would require analog to digital conversion and would be slower. I'm not saying you couldn't do it, but I don't think it would give much advantage. These screens are so cheap, the cost you would save by using your phone is not much anyway. That rcgroups thread is pretty old. You can now buy many purpose built modules for OSD that will do that, and many flight controllers have an output pin for that purpose.
a little trick for your camera is to touch the screen when you want to refocus.
+Mike B. it's a webcam with autofocus, I don't think that would help :)
Total weight?
Yoni Musher I think about 30-40g
if you have a go pro, or xiaomi yi, look up go pro or xiaomi yi fpv
is this possible to use nrf transmitter for FPV ?
I doubt it, the picture would be so slow, poor resolution and colorless you could not see anything useful. th-cam.com/video/OFz3BX7C4V8/w-d-xo.html
Hmm, interesting. The nrf have 2mbps speed. This should be enought fast
Knuth Helekivi
If you have the video already compressed it would be no problem, but for FPV you don't. Let us know what hardware you would use for ADC and to compress video on the fly, and how much power it uses and how much it weighs :) My desktop PC has a quad-core 3.4GHz CPU and it uses about 6% of that to compress a 640x480 video that is already digital. Maybe you could use a video capture card somehow, or maybe the compressed stream from a GoPro etc, but I don't think it gives much advantage to just using a regular FPV transmitter which is cheap and has less lag.
***** I am going to try this.
+Paul Little no, that's just they way it's made. It's not really the best for this sort of thing. Unfortunately with the pace of new products coming out this video got old really fast :)
+iforce2d Can you please make an updated version of this video? Or just send me some parts links
These days I would probably suggest the Eachine MC-01 all-in-one unit (camera + vtx + antenna) which I tested here: th-cam.com/video/iQHRtHQGjlc/w-d-xo.html
For receiver and goggles, recently I got an (Eachine again!) VR-008 goo.gl/s5YtYY
This will be more like $75 all up, but you can pretty much just take them out of the box and start using, no soldering :) You will also get raceband channels and a much more convenient package at both ends.
"
But this is not one of them" LOL
YOu have a mobius, USE IT ALSO FOR THE FPV CAMERA!
make a box and put the monitor inside. stick it under a baseballcap and youve got goggles. or order the quanum diy goggles from hobbyking, They really add to the experience.
This might have been said already,but without reading through all the comments I'll say it anyway.
People don't like these monitors because they switch off with a weak signal. It's much better to have to have a static filled picture, than it is for your monitor to switch off mid-flight.
Adam Croot yeah that's true, I think I mentioned it at some point. I would now recommend the 'quanum' goggles from Hobby King, which I use these days: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__53706__Quanum_DIY_FPV_Goggle_Set_with_Monitor_KIT_.html The monitor I showed in this video would be ok to let somebody ride along though if you had a second vrx.
They sell a really nice monitor that doesn't blue screen, with a built in diversity receiver. That's what i'm looking at right now.
Take a look at this on banggood SKU: SKU200088. 200mW transm. with 700 tvl camera 110 degrees. Transmitter power 5 volts. comes with 3s ballance plug. so no sodering for 20 euro...
Looks good!
How big a battery do I need?
+Max de Feijter depends how long you want things to run for, and where you put it.... these days I use a 2S 4000mAh battery for the receiver and screen and it lasts for ages, the heavy weight is ok because I put it on the ground beside me. Most people attach the battery to their head, so they use something smaller like a 1500mAh.
+iforce2d Thank you!!!
+iforce2d Another question... How do all the wires go on the screen-RX thingy? I've got lots of them here and I'm a little confused... Can you stretch them out and send pics or something? I'm confused mostly in the power part. Thanks!
how'd you record the video?
I put a mobius action camera on the drone.
iforce2d yeah i mean how'd you make the video ? memory card slot something?
I pressed the record button on the action camera. You know what an action camera is right? goo.gl/vpcqEl
iforce2d ohh ok.. I am a newbie i wanna try fpv ..flying
just wondering how you record and save a video ..
some folks uses some sort of usb to capture.. that's why i ask how you capture yours 😀
Hey, I'm now thinking of getting an FPV setup. Reading the discussion below, wanted just to hear what you would recommend for the transmitter between:
eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Eachine-700TVL-13-Cmos-FPV-110-Degree-Camera-w32CH-Transmission-wp-Uk-965760.html
Or the TS351 transmitter.
Or any other that you might recommend. I'm looking for something that's pretty straightforward to setup, and also does the job quite well. I'm a beginner quad flyer still really, so I won't be flying huge distances.
Thanks very much,
Joe
I haven't tried that one, but I've used the ts351 a lot and it works well.
Could have saved money by using a Boscam. TS 351 because u get an antenna, the connector already soldered. And no soldering wires to it. $17
John Luciano yes, I'm using a ts351 these days. The default antennas suck though, you'd still want to get a set of CP antennas
I am also watching youtube all the.... errr sometimes lol
how can record from that if no memory?
You can get small battery powered video recorders that write to SD cards, but the quality of the live video is not very good. That's why I used a mobius camera for the recording instead.
***** so it means two camera right, by the ways you can use the 2nd input video face down,.i think that was cool,..
dj minions de spicable yes, most people use two cameras like this. You can position the second camera any way you like, or put it on a gimbal to control the angle while flying.
***** can you try the Mobius recording while using in live, so 2 in 1
dj minions de spicable yes, but there is a delay of about 0.3 seconds, makes it more difficult to control and annoying. There are plenty of videos about this here on TH-cam if you search around
dual cameras for stereoscopic video for 3d flying!? lol
Stereoscopic FPV...? ;)
wow that camera functions better than mobiuos
Gilberto Sedo just to be clear, the last part of the video (23:50 onward) is recorded with mobius
***** no offence upon intended! my comment was due to the two weak ares of mobius, motion delay and lighting.
the white is for audio
I know this is an "old" video but there are other options now.
you can go for the quanum goggles(www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__78125__Quanum_DIY_FPV_Goggle_V2_w_5_inch_LCD_Monitor_Kit_.html)
then buy the 305 5.8 receiver(eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-FPV-5_8G-8CH-200mW-AV-Wireless-Receiver-RC305-wp-Uk-73203.html),
and for transmitter there is:(eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Eachine-700TVL-13-Cmos-FPV-110-Degree-Camera-w32CH-Transmission-wp-Uk-965760.html)
antenna`s:(eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-5_8Ghz-Mushroom-Omnidirectional-Antenna-For-transmitter-wp-Uk-942317.html)
i used this to put on my close range bixler and it goes pretty far for the price(expect about 1k range)
YellowBlue RC yeah, I got the quanum goggles after this actually, that's what I use now.
***** and do you like them?
love the way you reply and your video`s are helpful you defenatly earned a sub
YellowBlue RC yeah I like them well enough, but the strap is pretty crappy. I also noticed there is quite a difference in picture between what I see in the goggles, and what I see in the video recorded by the DVR when I watch it afterwards. In the goggles, there is a lot more white-out saturation to the point where I can't see well, even when the DVR has recorded a pretty nice picture. Unfortunately the brightness and contrast adjustments of the screen don't seem to do shit... maybe the screen is faulty. That new version of the quanum looks really nice, I will probably get that sooner or later.
***** yeah i have the v1`s too and i quite like it but like you said i have the same problems but what do you expect from a $45 screen and stuff.
but even with all these issues i would still recommend it as I don't like lose screens and other goggles are way too expensive.
I will get the v2`s too someday..
YellowBlue RC ***** Thanks a lot guys, helped me alot:)))))))
"Cheap ass" 3D? With the second slot!?
yeah you could:)
can i use prety much any transitter(5.8G near 400 mW) with the reciver in the vid and the googles from hobyking www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__53706__Quanum_DIY_FPV_Goggle_Set_with_Monitor_KIT_.html
I think most 5.8g transmitters and receivers are compatible, but not all. That goggles is what I'm using now actually :)
