DIY FPV Helmet
Hi everyone! I recently made a DIY Immersive FPV Helmet:
Asides from looking like a complete and utter plonker the results are amazing for the £20 it cost me to make
So for anyone looking to make something similar, here's a list of everything I used:
4.3" Display from eBay- £15
Old bike helmet I had lying around- £0
Some cheap brackets from Homebase in the UK (two right angled ones to mount the monitor onto, and two straight ones to extend the reach, keeping the monitor further from my eyes...)- £3.79 (difficult to find so here is the link to the straight bracket, I can't find the corresponding right-angled bracket that I used, so I recommend just going into HB and having a look around... (

Some old screws, nuts and bolts I had in the garage to connect it to the helmet and extend the arms to lengthen the viewing distance- £0
Lots and lots of hot glue - £0 (if you've already got a glue gun...)
Some self adhesive velcro from Poundland to hold the screen onto the metal mounting bracket- £1
Turnigy 2200mAh 3S from HK- £6
An ice cream tub to block out the light (that's what that duct tape box thing is
Some cereal box cardboard covered in duct tape to block out the light coming from the sides
A male XT60 connector to solder onto the monitors power lead
Last but not least, some +3.5 reading glasses from Poundland to make the image
BIG
Any questions just ask me, I'll be happy to elaborate on some of the design
Happy flying
