How To Use a GoPro for FPV

[JacobDanielMagner]

What transmitter do u use?

[MrNascar757]

GoPro is VERY tight with controlling online pricing-you have a better chance of going into a brick-and-mortar store and asking for a discount.

[anddreas2lair]

Sorry "Great" deals... It's like the GoPro for 200 shipped! (for US atleast)

[anddreas2lair]

@iEngineer86

Dude, just use Amazon! It has Greg deals...

[crazyryan]

@anddreas2lair greg deals? shit i better head over there!!

[iEngineer86]

Thanks a lot for this video! I'm lovin' it! :) I'm trying to find a Europe dealer for GoPro that doesnt' add 90 USD to the US price (what a shame!), than I'm putting this thing together. The image on your display looked nice, really encouraged me to do the same. Some videos show these cameras in stresfull situations, falling of a car, mounted to a dog..is it really THAT dourable? Thanks and greetings from Slovenia, EU!

[8180634]

Thanks for the tip! Do you notice any delay in the live feed from the GoPro?

[13arton]

i was gonna comment " umm" but I think that's been covered.

[Joran213]

ok nice??

[sylent911]

great job i've just complete the cable and i try it. it's all ok.. fantastic....

now. now I want to change the goggles (FlyCamOne) for the new transmission system that I bought ... You know how I can do (the glasses are the acme FlyCamOne) (sorry for the bad English)

[smkdog435]

thats awesome!!! great job bro. RageCams offers gopro lens changes and wireless kits with right angled plugs.

[ultimitchow]

is this in/near park city, UT?

[yousefbadr123]

@rctestflight what is your video transmitter and receiver?Can you give me the link if you bought it online.What range could and RC Helicopter and Go Pro reach to?

[ap0lmc]

When you are doing the live feed can you record unto the SD card at the same time?

[Renner95634]

This guy is clearly intelligent but that val speak really grates on my ear.

[nz6020]

ummmmmmm.... ummmmm...... ummmmmmmmm.... :D



[superflexis]

Can you still be recording at the same time?

I was just wondering this as I want to use FPV to actually see what I am recording on the cam in HD.

[womackke]

if not using audio couldnt you just use a 3 pole jack?

[Rookiesteam]

This video it is a great tutorial because I have one of those mini or micro fpv wireless systems that really suck and getting one GoPro will work exellent.......

nice job there!!!

[MrProjectdjim007]

ITS OK IL JUST BUY SOME FPV's..

but hey well done there 10/10*'s

[KesherMedia]

Very well done.

100 Stars!!!!!

[Bitsforboats]

Cool idea, well done!

[Wamfox]

why would you want audio

[Beugeldop]

So if i get this right, the gopro will also record if you set it to "life feed on"?

[Djnova11]

dumb fuck...

UMMMM

[rctestflight]

@Djnova11 go have sex with a goat

[Djnova11]

@rctestflight Ummmmmmmm

[rctestflight]

@Djnova11 stop saying ummmmmmmm so much, its annoying 

[Djnova11]

@rctestflight tell yourself that. Dumb ass

[rctestflight]

@Djnova11 who you callen dumb ass? dumb ass

[N4161X]

what if i dont want to hack my go pro is there an alternative camera with this quality



[rctestflight]

@N4161X its not hacking the go pro, its hacking a cable

[N4161X]

@rctestflight ok well what if i dont want to do that

[rctestflight]

@N4161X then you don't fly fpv with a go pro

[N4161X]

@rctestflight dude all i want to know is if there is an alternative camera with the same quality???

[rctestflight]

@N4161X idk, google it

[mbriedis]

But, ummmm...

[OMrkithO]

@mbriedis lets play the The drinking game "But Umm" XD

[birdmanbl]

Just stellar clip! Very well done and i need this info soon!

[bo4arrow]

um

[FOTOXARTE1970]

good job men, what airplane your are using, thanks

[Swy00]

ohh my... wonderfull vid! great place! i like it an i wish i could do that without selling our house:D

[kearsneyaccount]

that is sooooo sick!!!!

[Mickey98four]

hi, could you please tell me if you think i would get a beter fpv live picture by connecting my gopro to my fpv tx as you describe in your video. At present i am using fat shark goggles and a 525 line tinny sony fpv cam. If i connect with go pro do you think the live view picture will be any better as i dont think the goggles resolution is very good and may limit the gopros viewable quality?

Thank you michael

msn youngmichael8747@hotmail.co.uk

[rctestflight]

@Mickey98four there is not enough bandwidth to transmit in HD. Its not going to look any better than any other camera

[Mickey98four]

test post

[karlosio1]

Hi, very nice video! The fpv quality is very good I see. Where did you buy that transmitter and what is its name? I've been rc flying for almost 8 years now and I've always wanted to do fpv. Some info would be very nice. thx

[CactusJackSlade]

I know you have heard this a few times already, but thanks again for posting!

[Captan6pack]

Thanks for posting this!!! Great info

[lov3r1]

gopro also rec in full hd while transmit?

[Matouch]

Thx it worx gr8. I am using it on my hexa.

[lowriderlux]

ummm ummmm ummmm ummmm sweet

[mrguzzi07]

thumbs up !! Where can I get the video transmitter ?

[iflyf3d]

Thanks for the detailed vid dude... It Helped me out a lot.

[Kickahobo]

uhmmmmmmm

[Mrxbladezz]

ummm ummm ummm ummmm ok ummmm

[arturomoreno]

Which video transmitter are you using? Is it easy to find one? Thanks!

[rctestflight]

@arturomoreno 900mhz 500mW

[arturomoreno]

@rctestflight Sorry for the ignorance. What brand is it, or where could I find it?

[motors4rock]

@rctestflight Yeah right! cause you need an multimeter, um uh, no... just test it with a little lamp or something, and you should know that the wires don't have shields, the cable has one layer of isolation and each separate wire has isolation. and you do not strip the cable, you remove the isolation and you see the core of the cable.

[rctestflight]

@motors4rock uh, ok?

[womackke]

@motors4rock lol toooool

[guidobela]

51 seconds in....Tooo many UMMMMs for me

[Happy2th]

Ummmm

[RCNEWStv]

@rctestflight wow, I've never blocked someone for being a troll on someone elses channel,lol

[FunCamTV]

Hey, what camera do you use, to make this video with? :D (not Gopro)

[rctestflight]

@FunCamTV panasonic tm700

[ChurumbelaVsCucarach]

if a have an extension red white and black which is audio video and ground??

[wiibart]

Great ending

[ZHAUSQ]

does this also work with the 1080p version ?

sorry if this is a stupid question :)

[rctestflight]

@ZHAUSQ this is the 1080p version

[ZHAUSQ]

@rctestflight

ok thanks

[welderman27]

nice work I just found your video i had no freaking idea RC technology has advanced this much

[Avacenna]

GOOD STUFF

[jpop999]

Could you list all of the parts and brands you used ( transmitter and everything). Thanks.

[xander6969696969]

I got one of these camera from my local best buy $149.99, it had video out issues from the start, would only output video from composite upper port the lower port refused to out put any video and when video fee was turned off the camera had the dreaded TEL error, will exchange for working camera hopefully

[jtcurrytube]

Good job man

[chatch15117]

OMMMM UHMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[borodungal]

HD !!

[Astronautical123]

sick greenscreen idea!!!

[EpicNationn]

Ummmmmmmmmmm

[icanthackit11]

ummmmmmm...MAN I CANT WATCH THIS U MAKE TOO MANY STUPID NOISES

[iheir]

[Kickahobo]

[v12tommy]

GoPro makes a case with the whole for the jacks already built in.

[thedanishscout]

reminds me of the How I Met Your Mother Series.. But uhhm drinking game :P

[catamaranman333]

Hey Daniel, have you ever tried running the GP through an OSD?

[airwill450]

Very well explained. Thank you.

[tallguysd]

UMMMM UMMMMM let me seee UMMM No it does not! UMMMM but the quality UMMMMM is just UMMMAZING! LMAO!

[JackmanFlicks]

Very Useful Info ! Thanks for sharing it !

[ajjs02]

This is very cool,but by cutting a hole in the side of the housing your putting your GoPro in harms way..lol more than normal..Isn't the average FPV cam cheaper than the gopro??

[GeneticallySuperior1]

It's known that individuals who use repetitive sounds in their vocabulary have above average I.Q- , don't be HATERS people, this guys probably 10x smarter than all of you!

[SALESPRODUCTIONS]

um - well um um um - and I forgot to say um

[eastcoast78]

ok not sure if i got this right. @ 1:45 you say the yellow wire is the ground? i thought the 2 un shelded wires were the ground.? Mybe im confused in what you pointing at and talking about at the same time...

[Gday2ya]

@DrewTierney1985

probably that was what your father said before he blew his load into your mom.....OMMMMM, sweatheart...r we sure doin this? What if we get a anoyin wiseguy leavin useless cuntments to get people pissed off...well your parents r absolutly rediculus to give you an internetcuntnection without parental control cause this theory is probably beyond your imagionation anyways

[skimowhite586]

well uhm did you uhm well uhm hey uhm uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm when you use this for fpv were you able to transmit at 480p and record at 720p if you can hook me up

[jewlouds]

Where did you get that transmitter and what MAH battery did you use (sorry if you said but im posting this comment before the end of the video)

[Kingwell101]

good video.. but ummm i think you say ummm too much.

[davonizdashit]

dude, i didnt understand a damn thing!!!! lol that shit is complicated

[dbroaddu]

Hey thanks for this how too man! I did this to my GoPro exactly as you discribed and it works flawlessly... thanks for taking time to post this... I appriciate it!

[DLRhodes007]

i like the diagram (:

[noreplyism]

Set it to the OHMMMMM setting.

[eighty8fierogt]

Very informative, thanks.

[HoldElevatorBro]

is the quality coming back from your FPV system at 720p that you see while flying or does it default to whatever the max on the fpv system is.

thanks

[rctestflight]

@HoldElevatorBro it does not transmit in 720p

[HoldElevatorBro]

@rctestflight so what is the wuality you see through your goggles then

[santiago404]

ommm ummm oummm ommm ummm oummmmmmmm

[cornholio3456]

what the hell transmitter are you useing

[azzurripro]

Hi I like your video, and the information you give. I have a sony bloggie and want to do this with it's rca cable as well. would be the same processes?

Thanks

[eastcoast78]

If oyu had OSD and recording form the GoPro Well the OSD show on the screen?

[hunchlandproductions]

Some day I wanna rig up FPV...some day...

BTW thanks this was very helpful!!

[Wolse93]

Thank you very much for that video. You just answer a lot of questions.

[eastcoast78]

This is what i HAVE to do ,what FPV are you using?

Im building a KFm4 42'' Wing scaled up form the one you use...PM me with some details if you can...Im a noob!! ;0)

[boostah27]

yiour gonna need a oooommmmm this one ommmmm and ommmm get it done ommmmm so ommmm i know =ommmmmmmmmm that ommmm this one ommmm is the one ommmmmmmm OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

[gundamnitpete]

the live feed out thing just saved me from buying a 1080, as opposed to my 960. i thought my 960 wouldn't work, but the live feed setting was set to off.

saved me like $300, THANKS!

[BashMonkeyRC]

finally a way to get live HD FPV, nice vid!! Though Im not quite sure, but near the end when he caught the plane it sounded like the audio was a little bit earlier than the video.

[MountainBikerT17]

at first I had no clue what you were doing and I thought that FPV stood for first-person video. A.k.a. what the gopro is made for. Adapting it to a transmitter is a pretty sick idea

[wtmcgehee]

Or you could just buy the gopro FPV cable from Digital Products Company..

dpcav.com/xcart/product.php?pr­oductid=16641&cat=0&page=1

[skimowhite586]

what resolution did you use for the fpv camera when tx not the recording but the transmitting to you

[rctestflight]

@skimowhite586 your going to have to reword that

[skimowhite586]

@rctestflight you know how fpv cameras use 640 x 480p and the image looks horrible most of the time like washed away textures how did you get it to look so good what resolution was the camera you were using for fpv at

[rctestflight]

@skimowhite586 i was using the go pro for fpv, but it was recording in the camera and not on the ground

[jon780]

Great video thanks, and what an awesome view. Nice job

[idvdm]

dude, thats insanely awesome tutorial !

[crazyryan]

uhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmm

[usmcboy0707]

could you hook this up to glasses instead of a screen?

[Tendo8002]

@usmcboy0707 Yeah as long as they have video in you can connect it.

[CLAVIJOLUNA]

I'm in Colombia buying an helicopter and a GoPro camera

I want to know what kind of mark and model is the transmitter. which battery do i connect the transmitter to : helicopter's battery or another one?

thanks

[rctestflight]

@CLAVIJOLUNA its 500mW 900mhz, thats all I know about it. It does not matter what battery you connect it to as long as its 12v, or a 3s lipo.

[rc18trocks]

i did this and my transmitter smoked..wtf? :p i used a old canon camera instead with the 5.8ghz foxtech hobby bundle, o well -_-

[muffdriver69]

NIce, but how do you hook up to OSD?

[dirtjumpdaniel]

@muffdriver69 same as any other camera

[muffdriver69]

@dirtjumpdaniel So the OSD can work with this no problem? Cause I thought OSD are not made for HD

[rctestflight]

@muffdriver69 im not sure, I have never tried it

[TheJclone]

Awesome! Thanks for the nice step by step.

I got the HK EPP fpv coming soon. Can't wait!

[Lamborghini1754]

how much would it cost for you to make it for me

[rctestflight]

@Lamborghini1754 $50

[jamesvok]

Nice job. I like your explanation and your diagrams too. Even took a few screen shots so I could review later. Very good work.

[jwjwjwjwjwjwjwjjwjwj]

How can you hook up OSD to the GoPro?

[rockhopper123452]

can u see it live on your computer

[mvukko]

Hey cool! What transmitter are you using?

[1airhogs]

Is there interference in the pic when flying fpv

[DrDimk0o]

great tip. thank you :)

Does it send HD to the tx? any resolution?

[gsohn]

cool

[nilo4ever]

So are you able to FPV and record at the same time at 720p at 60fps?

[rctestflight]

@nilo4ever yah

[pofrani]

wow - awesome view!

what transmitter are you using for your go pro? can you provide a link on your info pls?

[acerkiwi]

Thanks mate, learned alot.

[ripcurl010]

good video help me alot cheers

[USMarineCorpsHUAR]

Dude u helped me a lot.THX

[MrFlench]

THANKS for the tip's ...

[KebabBob]

"ummm"

[TheMat1511]

G'day

Could you give me a list of parts that is requied to make this

also what is the range it has

cheers

[raptor3dpilot]

Great video!!!

[Olegserov2]

This camera is good, but it has fishy eye view and like fpv camera it has dellay on transfering image from real object to your eye about 0.5 seconds. In this time you can loose your plane if you flying low and no time for recovery.

[rctestflight]

@Olegserov2 no it doesnt

[Skydive4ever]

Thank you Thank you Thank you! It took a while to get it done, but it works, looking forward to do FPV with the GoProHD now :-)

[BoardHEROs]

Thats a sick project man !



[tahoeskiier]

Well Trained Girlfriend!!! Kept her mouth shut the whole time

[lvsupertech]

The Gopro is great. It would be better if they used the CCD instead of CMOS, because of the jello effect even with a little vibration

[AdrenaCo]

Great stuff!

Tell us more about the specs for the woman!

I could really use someone who can catch my crafts like that! ;-)

[Flight1142]

Awesome!!!!!

[taroquio]

brilliant



[schraut5]

Thanks for posting this video! I just got an fpv system and am going to use my GoPro as the camera. Thanks!

[FloridaKiteboarding]

Search YouTube for " Slow Stick FPV in HD " as the pilot is also using GoPro HD

and is making use of the GoPro's battery as well (as per the video's description)

[ricansurf]

very creative and simple enough to follow!!

[shobu7777]

how much is a gopro cam?

[XxstryaexX1]

@shobu7777 i think 300$

[gtor3]

Good Info!!

[windsock777]

Informative video, well done.

[twowheels87]

Ummm sweet video dude. Uaaa ummm yeah that's really cool ummm lol sorry just maken a little fun of how many time u said umm. Lol but yeah ummm 5 stars dude. Were you baked when you made this? Haha Jk
