I need your help again.
I have choose your video for P480.
If I have it set up downlink , Goggle 640*480. I would see the same result, right?
Do I have to get Panasonic PX-35 and modify it like you do or other camera will do if so please advise the model.

Yes, same result.
The FX-35 was my favorite, but it is expensive, delicate and hard to modify.
The Aiptek HD-1 is almost as good, cheaper and doesnt require mods (although you can do them to save weight), except for a wide angle lens. See my "Prainha" CE and RJ videos to check its image quality.
Fat Shark just announced their FS-HD1, which is specifically designed for FPV, so no mods required and it has some advantages. Check its thread on RCGroups.

Nope. Just the original 5dbi omni.

@sigair
Depends on what you consider a good range. I got around 1km with this setup, which I consider short range, but flyable. The setup is listed on the video description. This should give you a good start.
