After some ideas on a FPV rig

[AndrewY]

Any FPV Multi-Rotor guys out there, i get so confused when it comes to this stuff
Advice appreciated.
I have been flying helis for the last couple of years, and my mates quads are really inspiring me to get into FPV.... after wearing a pair of Fatsharks.. is quite enjoyable compared to flying Helis.. can be stressful..
Every time i try and consider buying one i get scared off because of so many options out there.
So im thinking DJI stuff might be the way to go cause its easy and comes all in bundles.
I am used to setting Helis up using Wizards and so on, so DJI seems like the most likely option for me, i honestly would rather be flying that tweaking all the time, like i have heard from my mates in regards to Multiwii, and the HK KK boards etc.


First up im thinking this kit
DJI 450 with Naza V2, GPS and basic Motor/ESC
Is this a good value option?
Or should i buy my bits seperately.. like a motor set/ esc set/// or are the DJI combo bits going to do me fine?

When it comes to the FPV link side of things i see there seems to be around 3-4 major players

1. Boscam

2. Dji

3. Fatshark


probably others that im not away of

At this early stage, i will not use a UHF link, i will master the 5.8 video link first, and get my fpv flying fine tuned.

so for example
This is the DJI TX/RX combo which has antennas and the links included

Then i would need a screen at the receiving end or goggles etc..
This one below has the included camera.
(one thing to note i have a Go pro hero 3 already, any way to use that as a broadcasting device to get the pictures to the goggles? )

I am highly considering the TBS Core and upgrade if i go the DJI 450 option.
The 450 option from RC 711 seems to be a good value pack as you get the Naza M V2, also the Giball for Go pro , (i have a Hero 3 ready to do)

other option could be a

UAV400

I see some good reviews on this set up.


Cheers for any info you can give me

HI mate how much do you want to spend , hoverthing FPV flip frame is one of the best you can keep props out of camera, dji nazn m with gps , dragon link for 5.8 video link fat shark for goggles or the new sky zone

then t motors with carbon fibre props
as to setting up ,once in a blue moon do you have a quad that wont work , all the ones i have and done never had a problem , take you a morning at the most to sort out its just getting i and p gain right and thats easy to do , turn i right down turn p up as you lift off it will shake fast gain is too high so lower by 5 /10 points till its stops, now do the i leave the p as you just set and turn up i then take off shake will be slow now turn that down till it stops , now as you fly say forward and stop fast it may shake for a sec or not at all then your good to go
team black sheep is in your neck of the woods and they do a really nice TBS Discovery frame at $79 this is a FPV frame, so really this is the start point they do good deals ,have top support and a web shop your be able to get every thing you need from them, ask them for a deal on the lot and your have a really nice set up , i wish they were in my back yard , here is a link for there web site, there aim is to make FPV easy for every one to do the last video i put on is team black sheep in london using the TBS Discovery frame and FPV system enjoy mate
