lui Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I got a DJI Phantom for xmas and its amazingly stable. Ive got an original GoPro attached to it at the moment but want to go FPV. What type of kit did you buy for FPV flight and would you recommend it? I was thinking of getting the Hero3 with video output so the camera isnt dedicated to just flying, I would also like to use an Oculus Rift for the goggles for the same reason. Is the video TX/RX independent of the screen / goggles and camera? You will need fatshark googles & immersion 250 mw vtx for basic set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilp9876 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 You will need fatshark googles & immersion 250 mw vtx for basic set up Thanks for this, I will look into the kit. Can the receiver plug into a laptop to display the video? Also are those home made cases you are using? It would nice to be get somewhere to hold it all. I'm jealous of the fact you have all 3 Phantoms Hi buddy, I fly these for a living. Good to see others getting involved! I have one of mine for sale in my sig below Thats the kind of job I could do with! I take it you make films of some kind, I can see the use of drones for filming being very big in the near future.

FOSTA Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ok guys I'm ready for my first FPV flight! I've had to get a second camera for FPV and mount it off the gimbal and keep the go-pro for recording and pictures only. Here is how the set up looks now. And here is a video of one in action, this was at the Sunderland torque show and after seeing this flying above my head made me instantly want one!

I would like to buy a TX / RX at the end of this month but I have a tendency to buy incorrectly (cheap) and then have to buy it all again later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
