Hey all,
Doing some research into a FPV system and currently I am leaning towards the following system -
Transmitter/Receiver (over 2.4GHz, running at 1W):
http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/FPV-2.4G-1W-4CH-Video-Audio-Wireless-Mini-Receiver-Transmitter-Kit.html
Cam:
http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/600TVL-SONY-SUPER-HAD-CCD-D%2dWDR-Color-Board-Camera-with-OSD-Menu-DNR.html
with general power supply and bnc adapter.
A few things come to mind. Firstly, I'm not too familiar with a lot of the pre-available FPV technologies that seem to be common around here. Given that my priories are transmitter weight and range (not so much duration and quality), are there any systems anyone can recommend that I may have missed?
Another thing to reiterate is that video quality is not important - the low res FPV is merely to assist in checking orientation and helping with landing. To that avail, would a more basic camera model be recommended, such as this model (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8739)? Or would it not matter based on the transmitters capabilities?
Last issue is the transmitters resistance to interference from the flight control datacomm; any insight in to this?
Any help or insights appreciated :tennis:
