FPV - Onscreen Display Aerial Video Test Flight

[wolfe1970]

do you get to see all that date in your FPV ?

[wladimirmir64]

Классно ! хотел бы тоже так полетать)

[OzParkPilot]

Very nice set up - the OSD is one of the best. I will now order one i think ! where from please ?

@OzParkPilot rangevideo.

Where do I go to purchase?

[mevmevmev]

@starfox597

There are many places. I get a lot of the video and OSD equipment at rangevideo . com. Hobbyking has a lot of the basic rc equipment.

How much is a system like this and nice video by the way

[mevmevmev]

@giostarwars Thanks. Starting from scratch I would guess about $1000 USD would get a system going.

[catamaranman333]

@giostarwars It depends mainly on the autopilot/on screen display you buy. The range is from cheap bare-bones OSDs without autopilots as cheap as $60 up to $10,000 plus commercial-grade UAV autopilots. The other factor that has a big effect on the price tag is what kind of range you want. You could probably replicate the plane in this video (or at least come close) for as little as $700.

how did you incorporate a motion sensitive HUD? I'm trying to make a helmet rig

[Beaso]

Awesome!

Great vid

are you using 72MHz radio setup? What is your video link? I want to start building my first FPV setup but im not sure whether to go 2.4GHz for video or 900MHz

[mevmevmev]

Performance wise there is not huge difference between 2.4 GHz and 900MHz. The main issue is interference between video and controls. If you are running a newer 2.4 GHz radio, then don't use 2.4GHz video. If your using 72MHz then there seems to be valid arguements for both frequencies. I'm using 2.4GHz video and 72MHz radio.  I do have some rf issues that reduce my range.

[dmastax1x]

@mevmevmev Thanks for the quick response! Ok i was planning to go with 72MHz radio and 2.4G video but wasn't sure till i saw your video and got your answer. Are you using any antennas or "boosters" for either your radio or video, would you recommend any? Thanks once again.

[PHeMoX]

@mevmevmev What's your range with 72Mhz control for your aircraft? Did you test for the absolute range limit?

[mevmevmev]

@PHeMoX I think my furthest flight was 1.6 Miles on 72MHz. I had a lot of radio glitches at much closer ranges too. I have since switched to a long range system using the Dragon Link system on 433MHz range. I've been 5.6 miles with it and only turned back because of my battery getting low. See my video called "9km FPV Twinstar Flight with RVOSD"

@mevmevmev Thank you for your reply, I'll check it out!

[perucane]

beautiful, just need to land more soft !

[mevmevmev]

Yes, the crosswind was pushing the plane into my minivans tailgate!, then the little tree had me worried :)

[perucane]

@mevmevmev, hahaha , i love to fly too and your view is excellent with this camera.

[5Fiend]

unbelievable. how mutch does it cost?

[mevmevmev]

Including everything needed, roughly $1000 USD. The RVOSD unit is about $335.
