Hello everyone , this is my first visit and post here on the forums.
i am currently building my first multi rotor. It's a next level 650 quad, with the new DJ naza V2 with GPS. I'm planning on useing either my Dx7 or old but reliable futaba 9CH 2.4 FASST for my radio.
So my goal is to get into FPV flight with this quad . I was wondering if anyone could recommend hardware setups to record / view video useing a small monitor via ground station as well as a goggle setup. I'm unsure which way I want to go as of yet, so maybe a video rx/tx system that would let me switch between goggles or monitor would work. HD would be a plus and I don't mind waiting for the new fat sharks, I'd love to try the head tracking system. I guess it's just the rx/ tx for the video signal that I am unsure of... Brands, types that work together ect. I need a lot if education in this area.
One other thing. I wanted to mount a go pro camera, mainly because this is all I know to use and is quality but am unsure of its capabilities. , Are flyers using the go pro to record video with another smaller camera for fps flight view? Or do fps setups use one cam to fly and capture video with?
In my imagination ' I'd like to creat a ground station that will fit into a medium size silver suit case, like the ones usually handcuff to people in the movies,which I can pop open at the field with the monitor inside along with everything else I need.
This being said, I also think I would live the feel and experience of having goggles on.
Help me get started with a system / hardware setup that works and is reliable with of course good video capture but won't break the bank.
Thanks , Chris
