  • 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.

    Cheers,

  • did you use a patch antenna, 5*

  • @FlyHighRC386

    Nope. Just the original 5dbi omni.

  • how to you get such good range? mines horrible

  • @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.

    Cheers,

see all
