hi all, here is my take on FPV

[tiggerbiker]

i bought myself a rather spiffing ST models FW190a and thought how cool it would be for an FPV platform.

i then bought myself a load of FPV gear - after reading the recommendation's here :)


its a bit cramped in the cockpit


still waiting for the fatsharks to arrive but the screenshot looks promising




please be gentle - its my first try :)

[tiggerbiker]

What lcd screen is that tiggerbiker?

is a cheap chinese ebay 7" lcd screen that i bought months ago for another project that didnt work out quite as i expected

[tiggerbiker]

thanks for all your comments - its great to know i'm not wasting my time  :)

cant wait for my fatsharks and archos av500 to arrive - should be today or tomorrow

[tiggerbiker]

he,he,he they have arrived  ;D


just testing the archos av500

[Miles]

Looks good ;)

[Coyote]

Yes looks like its game on now :)

Looks good but i think you've got too much nose in the camera view, maybe change the angle slightly so you can see more scenery?

yes, i agree - i have ordered a 600TVL SONY SUPER HAD CCD D-WDR camera and will mount it on top of the canopy as opposed to the in canopy position the current one has.

thanks for the feedback guys

looks good mate I would like to fly it from that perspective, Id be wearing some flying goggles over my video goggles and a flying jacket. lol
perhaps put a video keychain on top if you want a better video view.
regards G :)

chocks away old bean!!

i have just ordered the fy21ap from simon (what a fantastic experience - damn fine bloke!) and as such will have a spare GPS sensor and my current camera will be surplus to requirements.
sould i sell them or hang on to them? - might keep the camera for spare but do the GPS units ever go wrong?

[g.collins]

I would keep them, it wont be long and you will be building a new one. :)
