Tamiyacowboy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 first off cheap is range dependant. heres how you make up a cheap but ugly system. one VTX and one reciever in 5ghz or 2.4ghz with antennas. a camera to plug into the drones VTX thats the drone taken care of, VTX and cam Now the handset, most will buy an expensive lilliput monitor , 7 inch LCD 1280x800 costs around 150 quid with its little plastic case. but if your clever you will just go and buy a cheap 7 inch raspberry PI lcd and controller ( cost around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigyeti007 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks for your input TC but unfortunately I'm a real noob to the fpv scene, I've dipped my big toe in with a hubsan x4 but that's as far as I've got! While your set up sounds a lot cheaper! It's a bit to far fetched for me as yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 if you have never flown just bash the hubsan till it flys no more. we all started with baby quads ( well most , but some of us are ex heli pilots so have the skillset already ) after a while you see the holes in the hubsan, its size and lack of power and you want a camera and maybe some fpv flights. thats when you can start to look at self built quads ( buy all the parts and put it together yourself ) or the off the shelf large models (all based around a dji phantom ). 1x camera , usually a very small cctv camera is used ( we use gopros and likes for the eyecandy joyride videos) but seat of the pants pilot view thats just a cctv camera costing about 20 quid. the video transmiter and receiver thats about 40-60 quid. cheap reversing monitor for a car (14 quid ) a few batterys. that above is it that stuff is what nearly everyone will end up with when they get deep into fpv. most swap the screen out to a headset , but lots of folks still run an lcd based system and goggles at the same time. will not take long to get your head round things, the hubsan will give you that first taster, for inspiration have a youtube search on team black sheep and enjoy what fpv can offer when you turn to the darkside like we all did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigyeti007 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Well a toy is what I would like! I would be quite happy spending less than a hundred pound! It suited me flying round the local park with fpv even it is only with a couple of hundred meters range, I have no intention of spending hundreds on my new toy! I'll put that into my 1/5's!

Tamiyacowboy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) i think people get mixed up with the term FPV and AP fpv is the pilots view you see what the camera sees as a pilots point of view there is no gizmos controlling the camera so every swing -sway - knock-bump-vibration is seen, the camera is bolted to the airframe. AP is the fancy side, instead of using the camera as a pilots view, its mounted on moving gimbals to keep it level and isolated from vibration. the pilot is now free to line of sight fly and keep the movements very smooth, ie switch to a photographic flight mode, he parks the drone and swings round letting the camera and its gimbal keep everything nice and smooth. the eyecandy views as we say in gamer terms. this is what most think fpv is but reality is this is real fpv , a very ugly look to the above setup scene. now 1/5th yeah that can be wired up to but this below is a 1/10th blitz on fpv gear inc goggles Edited August 25, 2015 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 your welcome. the first video is a well planned out flight, using very small adjustments to the drone. i wouldnt bet that the pilot was eyeball flying with a camera monkey checking for the feed look. ANYONE can get the Number 1 video look, your gopro on a brushless gimbal and a lcd live view feed. what your not seeing is the 4-6hrs of post production work on the video. adjusting light /contrast /hue / gamma / saturation. then the seamless cut and shut of the movie itself. thats aerial video/photography , 20 mins flying 10 hrs trying to make it look the most awesome on a computer.

Bigyeti007 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 The syma looks great it the wifi fpv puts me off, is the live footage relayed over wifi? If so that would mean I couldn't use it further than 5 meters away from my house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
