No video on my FPV setup. Need advice

[Maverick925]

I'm new to the FPV world, and bought a 5.8ghz set up. I have everything connected, and all that shows up on my screen is a blank greyish screen. I'm able to view the setup menu from my camera on the screen and hear sounds from the mic, but no video shows up. Does anyone have any clue what might be going on? I'm thinking it might be a faulty camera or transmitter. Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

Here is my setup:
RMRC-540N Camera
Immersion RC DuoDiversity 5800v2 receiver
600mW 5.8GHz A/V Transmitter (IRC5.8-600MW)

Hehe, Yes i removed the cover.

I believe it's a 5V. I'm running it off a 2C lipo. Here's the specs if that helps you help me at all. Thanks for lookin Kloner!

That's a 12 volt camera.

Also, make sure you vtx and rx are sinc'd to the same channel.

Thanks Tomstoy2. I've changed the channel on the receiver to see which ones synced with my transmitter. Again, all I could get to show up on the screen is the camera menu, indicating to me it was synced, unless I'm wrong on that one. I appreciate all the suggestions so far! Hoping I'm just missing something small, instead of having to buy a new camera, transmitter, or worse...a receiver.

yea, you got a mess here

take the red and black wire from cam to the vtx off...... hook the cameras red and black along with the vtx small plug red and black and hook all that straight to a 3s lipo.......... then see how she works for ya.

the cam red and black wire like it is hooked up now is only for 5volt cams

Kloner, you're full of knowledge, I'll give you that for sure, that was wicked, I over-looked that until you mentioned it.
maverick925, I hope you figure it out ... I'm due to get one of those cameras soon ... I'll remember not to make the lens cap mistake.
