If you have a GoPro4 you might want the one with the H4-3D ... They are almost the same, but the GoPro4 has a slightly different balance on the gimbal and some cut out for a new side button on the GoPro4. You can reconfigure the H3-3D in software to compensate for the balance, but might need to put in a shim to prevent the side button from being hit. Some people have no issue with GP4 on the H3 gimbal, others do. Some people don't mind tinkering ... other's want turnkey simplicity.

Other than that for time delay photography or basic video, you are set.
Only if you also want a live preview feed to frame your shots will you need to do anything else. If not, just turn on the camera, take it up in the air and point it at your subject.
For live SD preview:
Technically ... Due to the power of those video transmitters, you'll also want to get yourself an entry level HAM radio license if you are operating this in the US.
For live HD preview ... Buy yourself an Inspire 1. The cost of the included HD stream system alone ($1400 DJI Lightbridge) makes the Inspire 1 a better buy then adding it a Phantom 2. Crazy, but that's the state of live HD wireless feeds right now.
If you want diversity, you will be well over your $200 budget. DVR will also put you over your budget as all the goggles that have the DVR feature are well over $300. I highly recommend you save and get what you want the first time. Don't go buying this and that to try it out to eventually not use it, the expenses of this hobby will eat you up. SAVE SAVE SAVE.
I have the Black Pearl Monitor with a Immersion RC 5.8 GHz transmitter. Monitor is $224 on Amazon and transmitter is around $90. You might be able to find the transmitter a bit cheaper.

I got the plug and play cable so I wouldn't have to solder anything. Completely optional, though. Might wanna pick up a some better antennas too.
Yes.. get the iOSD mini, gives you info like distance, height, battery levels, and flight modes. It helped alot with flying, esp. knowing how much battery you have with out using a stopwatch or bringing it back to you to check the level. I would suggest the Black Pearl monitor for viewing : http://amzn.com/B00KR69WHY and getting a ImmersionRC sender: http://amzn.com/B00M36XKHE. There is even a cable you can get pre-made on Ebay from people that will hook up the P2 to the iOSD to the Immersion, making it easy to setup (on amazon - http://amzn.com/B00LDX65OS ). I had pretty much that setup. I put the iOSD mini inside the shell and left the ImmersionRC outside hanging off the back. If you do get it, never power up the ImmersionRC without an antenna on it, it will fry the transmitter chip. This sort of setup only gives you SD resolution though.
As for the H3-3D, if you poke it a little does it stop making the noises? You should never start that thing without a GoPro installed. It's weighed to very specific values, mine complained when i tried to use a hairband to secure the GoPro instead of the plastic retainer and screws. Seems the plastic added the right amount of weight.
Ahh, nice to see one of the older models once for a while here.
I would toss out the receiver part and look for a display which includes the receiver and antennas, this one is merely an example, the one I used. As per transmitter antenna, those should do fine. I don't know much of the specifics though.
I also recommend something to mount the screen with.
Regarding the CAN, I have no clue.
