Help! Budget FPV setup....

[Mr_Stripes]

Here is a really good hint: buy used
You can get goggles for really cheap used if you get lucky. I am waiting for a deal right now, no one wants to sell skyzones tho…
Whole lotta fatshark hdo and hd3… if you want analog you can get hd3 for ~200-250 used with module.

I need a goggle that can do 720p for the sharkbyte system. It all depends on what you want to get out of it.

FYI people have done miles on 25mw

Awesome...
I hadn't actually thought of that...
I'm guessing you're looking on eBay?

 

[Matthewdupreez]

I have a good phone and a good laptop...
Would something like this.. be decent??

That will work.
HOWEVER

There will be a fair amount of latency. You might not feel it but i would. Also a phone would probably be better in this case because when you put it on a big screen like a computer you will be zooming in on the blurry ness and making a bad image Look worse.

And yes I look at eBay, also a site called offer up but I dunno if they have that outside of US.

Whats the range of this FPV is this safe to flying around the crowd please tell me.

 

[CappyAmeric]

In the USA, flying over people is discouraged, but not illegal - flying over organized events (football games, parades, etc.) is often against FAA regulations.

range is highly environmentally & equipment dependent... ideal range is in a low RF noise with line of sight between your antennas and plane.
I don't see a single specific recommendation in the thread (a whole bunch of partial suggestions or people looking for the lowest cost options), so there is no way to give a specific answer.

You shouldn't be flying over/near people people. You should always plan your flight paths assuming that you could loose control of your craft and it becomes some sort of ballistic projectile.
