I am looking for something that is small, light and works. I am not looking for anything extravagant I just need something that works and allows me to see what I am looking at. Any suggestions are helpful

thanks Jack

I use real budget stuff, fpv fever Tx/Rx, 7" monitor on an old tripod, 500mAh 3S Tx battery, weighs next to nothing, I think the heaviest airborne part is the gopro AV lead which I dont want to cut because I am tight as a Scotsman....Oh wait a minuty I am a Scotsman.

It works OK but I would rather have goggles over the monitor.
The gear does me for FPV, hasn't failed me yet. It noise varies with relative heading, hope to improve it with cloverleaf/skew Planar anntenna

Just a point on video downlink in the UK for anyone thats unaware; you're supposed to have a ham radio license for 5.8GHz over 25mA. Dont need one for 2.4GHz downlink at all.

I use and 5.8 Iftron with their Passport receiver. The receiver is a little more than most, but the image is rock solid.

I'll go with srbell and say the Iftron gear is a good choice.
Just need the correct aerial for the situation.
See the other thread about a 100% downlink.

Click to expand...


The ham radio licence in the UK, only covers ground based transmission, as the TX is airborne the limits are still 5.8ghz 25mw - 2.4ghz 10mw, well that's what the FPVUK.org states anyway

Is there a risk of a 2.4 system causing any issues with control on 2.4? And are there systems that are as low as 10mw and what range does that give?
