Need suggestions / Opinions .

Thanks :-)

  I would like to buy one too..

u get this same kit in some indian hobby shop, should be less tedious to ship and all, u get it for under 10k though... but u wont have to deal with customs..

How is the setup. A friend is coming from abroad - so getting this won't be an issue :-)

Good blog on FPV

Seems like a decent all-in-one option, especially at that price. However, the Quanum goggles are the old version - the V2s are out now and there are hints of a V2 Pro version or V3 coming soon. Both the TS5823 and RC832 are decent budget options though I would recommend the Aomway 200mW and a diversity receiver like the FR632 if budget permits. 480tvl seems a bit low for the camera though - 600 is the standard now. This set also uses some cheapo LHCP antennas, which are not as common, though this will ensure you suffer less interference if flying in a group.

for the TX have look at the Foxeer 40ch Raceband VTx..there have been very good reviews about them and they cost around 25$...and if you are using the setup on a miniquad and intend to continue fpv flying get a pair of good and robust antennas like the TBS Triumphs or the BluBeams from IBCrazy(Yes they are expensive but "Cheaper in the long run"). If fpv setup is for plane then Aomway antenna would be good!

SK1701 / Himadri  - any links to LHS selling these in India.
Apparently the friend is back - no more Singapore stuff :-(

u can still get stuff here in india, its good for beggining but later on u will have to go out and get it, FPV scene in india is a little restricted!
here is a good link

@SK1701, are the LHCP/RHCP and the clover leaf's different?? can i have ur contact number? i cant PM you for some reason! and what are the advantages of RHCP over LHCP if any!

Apparently no LHS are selling them but you can check dronematters.com for antennas and for the 32ch Vtx if you want to go cheap check myrcmart.com, they sell the boscam 200mW 32ch Vtx for 10$!(I am using one of those and it works awesome)

LHCP and RHCP are two types of polarisation. Both perform the same but when you use and LHCP with RHCP antenna you will get a poor performance(They reject each other signal as they are of different polarisation). However RHCP are very common in the market and almost all of them use them. So if you are flying together in a group and use a LHCP antenna there will be the least interference or none from other Vtxs, and your link will be clear.

Have a look at this link All your doubts should be cleared from this!

for which platform is this FPV setup gnna be used? u might want to go for an osd based on that!

I am currently flying a 450 size quad. Plan is to get use to FPV and then invest on a mini 250 racer.

Finally got the FPV Kit II 5.8G 600mW 32ch Tx/Rx with Sony effio 700TVL Camera

http://www.quadkopters.com/product/fpv-kit-and-accessories/fpv-kit-ii-5-8g-600mw-32ch-txrx-with-sony-effio-700tvl-camera/

and ordered a 7inch TFT LCD Screen to go with it.

I got the same one just yesterday....I ordered it from hk....I will start working on it.... It has got a manual and working instructions on it.....will let you know how it works.....
Anyways, I will also keep following the same thread/.....
