Yes that looks great, but with the Dominato HD`s your not looking at the full HD picture being broadcast back, they are only 800x600 Mark.

Hook up a HD tv to your car though and then your in business :)

...on the diagrams it looks like the link between the radio and the Lightbridge transmitter is of the square Futaba variety - meaning you'll need a futaba radio to use this unit.

i've no beef with Futaba equipment, but i am beginning to be urked by DJI making it their preference, while locking out users of other brands.

Other examples:

A2 - requires a Futaba radio or another £160 on an sbus converter which has patchy in-use reviews so far.

Phantom 2 - Naza with firmware which locks out anything other than sbus connections - which in my case means it's not been in the air yet.

Just becoming really dull when you've invested money in a perfectly good system which just happens not to be futaba.

Futaba is probably choosen because its secure and works.
What you may not know Futaba does have a comerical arm and there 2.4ghz is from that system (rocket launch systems I belive but could be wrong).

Proven and works so to me its a good way for them to go look were using a proven and solid 2.4ghz system used in comerical world.

But either way not fussed glad to see they have the sense to use the Futaba system.

Yes there are other systems out there that maybe as good or better (or people belive they are..) but ask any Futaba user what issues if any they've had and it will be far and few between.
