Most FPV receivers will have RCA/AV cables out (for goggles and monitors). You can use something like this to get it to stream to your laptop:

You'll obviously need software to process the video, but I believe the second link has that. The only problem here is that the video may be a bit laggy. If you have a 1 or 2 second delay, it might be too much for FPV flying.

I don't think the delay will be a big problem because the chopper will mainly hover in the air and im too scared to let it out of my vision because its my 1st time doing this . I will be using APM planner for flying . I need the FPV mainly for the footage i will be processing on the PC .

Ohh, okay - you should be good then. A lot of people record their FPV video this way and record nice HD FPV video with another camera on board to an SD card.
