~ $70 seems to be the going rate. I was searching for it just now, they have it on Amazon and several of them on eBay

If you're looking for a project, continue down the road you're on. There's plenty to learn and there's also plenty you can do with it.

If you just want to plug something in and go, have a look here

You still need the receiver and goggles, but this whole unit is powered off 1s (3.7) and comes with a y cable to tap into a 1s copter's main power supply.

Thanks for your interest!

  • The controller doesn't seem to have any outputs. You may be getting the H107C confused with the H107D (the FPV version). This version just has a small recording camera that has a button on it.

  • Sure!

  • The quadcopter was $60, the FPV pod was $100, and the Picnic quads frame (I think it was the Platform X^3/100/8.5mm) was $10.

  • It still flies great! I weighed everything but the electronics from the stock X4, (15 grams) and then weighed the new frame and FPV pod (11 grams!). With a new bit of wire spliced in, the battery tray, and some tape, it weighs about the same. Woohoo!

    I'm hoping to sometime get another pair of goggles and a Blade QX FPV (I already have the normal Nano QX and I love it).

What is wrong with your protox? Anything you build that is that tiny is not going to give you too many advantages. You could upgrade the motors on your protox. Just go the the Micro Motor Warehouse and do a little shopping.

Here is a nice little micro camera you can use to upgrade to FPV. I put it on my hubsan and it worked great. Let me know if you have any questions.

The system that the Terrascout uses isn't the same as what we use for FPV racing.

You could buy a new transmitter/receiver and display that should get you around a 0.03 second lag. Something simple like this could work, but you will have to wire in power to the camera yourself.

The goggles are here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KTVWTO4?psc=1

Bought them based off several YouTube reviews that were very positive saying they were a great way to get a foot in the FPV door without breaking the bank on a 300 dollar set of fat shark's (which I totally will do someday now...)

I got this camera: https://www.amazon.com/Spektrum-FPV-Ultra-Micro-Camera/dp/B00N3WQVJ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1486083002&sr=1-1&keywords=FPV+camera+spektrum

But in hindsight I think a better route to go is to just get a drone that already has an onboard camera.

I have my eye on the hubsan x4 h501c or the hubsan h502s now but I'm not 100% sure that the goggles I linked above will work with them, that's my research goal for tonight. They should, but I don't want to tell you "get this drone!" Only to discover that it doesn't work the way I imagine. Although both drones are fantastic, look up Dustin dunnill on YouTube for in-depth reviews on just about every drone you can think of :)

These little guys power straight off 1s. Perhaps not the range or quality you're after though, or you have existing equipment you want to use, in which case disregard.

u/backwoods_neckbeard · 1 pointr/Multicopter

Sorry, Tx means trasmitter (IE your "remote control"). Rx means receiver. Your Tx transmits the inputs from your sticks and the Rx on the quad picks up on that to control it. Tx's and Rx's communicate on special protocols, but most of the higher end Tx's use modules so one Tx can be used with different protocols. For instance the Blade uses the DSM protocol (AKA spektrum as well) and will require you to have a DSM compatible Tx (or Tx module) to control it.

there is the spektrum available on amazon from a Prime seller for 100$

http://www.surveilzone.com/16CH-0008lux-58G-Wireless-Mini-Camera-with-Audio-90-degree--g-1304

here is virtually the same setup for 50$ cheaper. I have no personal experience with the second camera, but as far as I can tell it is pretty much the exact same thing. Surveilzone also gets used quite frequently here for FPV cams, so it might be worth checking into if you want to save some cash!

Please note these micro cameras are only 25 mw which means range is limited to 100 meters at best and they really suffer in low light conditions. Image quality is not amazing, but it works quite well, don't expect HD quality viewing with them though!

Latrax Alias... and my 15 year old son is doing the flying. Mounted on the alias is a Ultra Micro FPV Camera SPMVA 1100 we are using a pair of Teleporter V4 Goggles and a pair of DYI FPV Goggles from hobbyking. Also we are using a video recorder from hobbyking as well. Thats our kit, so far. Altho as you can tell from the video cut out.. we probably need some sort of ground station to pick up the camera transmitters signal a little better.

I realize this probably isn't revolutionary, but worth sharing for those that hadn't seen it.

I love my little Hubsan X4 for bashing around in the house at night or when my girls want me to 'fly the super helicopter'. My other quad is a Vortex 250 Pro, so its not reasonable to practice FPV inside, and between works and kids my time is limited.

So, I :

  • bought a Spektrum FPV Ultra Mini Camera, and about 5 grams of mass.
  • removed the bottom case of the X4
  • removed the Hubsan's stock video recording camera (about 3.5g saved)...
  • soldered the power lead for the camera to the pads that provided power to the recording camera
  • carefully put it back together and double sided taped the camera to the top of the quad.

    Overall +~1.5g

    Its pretty fun, hasn't broken over the last few batteries and crashes, and seems like it might be some reasonable practice.

    Certainly the camera has a battery impact - went from about 7 minutes to about 4 - but I have lots of spare batteries.

    Just a thought for others in the same scenario.
