Hi guys, Things are looking up, a new career path is allowing me to update my copter with FPV. I could really use your opinions, this post is kinda all over the place but thats how my brain is going the last few weeks, SPINNING
I was going to get these for my goggles. http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Goggles-Two-5-Inches-5_8G-40CH-Raceband-HD-1080p-HDMI-FPV-Goggles-Video-Glasses-p-1094862.html?rmmds=home-right-preorder
Im assuming two antennas is better than one when choosing goggles.
I did alot of research on the web, Oscar Liang, Bardwell etc, (still confused) and cant figure out what vtx will be compatible with this goggle headset. By the way I have a Versacopter and been having a blast los flying.
I dont know what mw vtx to buy for my copter. 25, 200, 600mw vtx. What I gather is the goggles have a rx in them but is the rx a certain mw, ex 25,200,600 and the goggles do not spec. not sure on this? Thats why I mentioned adjustable mw vtx's below.
I was thinking this one since its adjustable, http://www.banggood.com/Aomway-TX00...1074772.html?rmmds=detail-bottom-viewalsoview
or this one, http://www.banggood.com/FX795T-2-5_...V-Multicopter-p-1033653.html?rmmds=mywishlist
Does this gear look ok quality. Im open to help on the parts list if someone has better options even if the price is more or less. Im not going "best" of gear as this is a learning curve but will upgrade in the future if i enjoy doing it which i think will happen. know one around me flys fpv so it'll be me going at it alone with help from the community.
One question, is there a better way to go, I dont mind the wait from banggood, but watching Youtube vids especially UAVfutures ( he really liked the eachine goggles two and recommend these goggles and they compared better than the Kylin and any of the rest he reviewed. But open to suggestion on another in the 150ish$ price range.
One thing I saw on a YouTube vid (RCSchim) Cyclops V2 vs Eachine Goggles was the antenna jacks are reverse polarity he showed a diagram. I dont know if this limits me to upgrade antennas or if there is an adapter. He showed a picture of an american goggle and these and the jacks were different.
The camera I'm not sure of because there all close in price but I heard good things about the owl plus,http://www.banggood.com/RunCam-OWL-...-IR-Blocked-5-22V-p-1057924.html?rmmds=search
but maybe cheapest is best since I will be crashing and dont want to smash it up first flight. Any other options? The versa does not have good protection for a camera like other frames, i guess i would just mount it on the top plate?
I also know I'll need a pigtail wire to go from the vtx to the back of the versa with a 90* connector for the antenna. Thats why i like the first choice of vtx on my list, all i would need is the 90* connector.http://www.banggood.com/SMA-Male-To-Female-Adapter-Right-Angle-90-Degree-p-920115.html?rmmds=search
Would this be the rite 90* connector?
Also i am upgrading my radio from my dx6I to the Tarranis QX7, I need 3 pos switches and the dx6i is only 2 position and very limited. I may order that tonight if I can find one in stock, it sucks because all my RX's are spektrum/clones, ill keep the dx6i just for my fixed wing stuff and the tarranis for both. I'm using a clone sat rx on my copter now for ease. Other things in the future are a new board, currently CC3D running librepilot, to something better running cleanflight. Those things are for another day.
Thank you to anyone who inputs. Im really confused, if someone has had good luck with a different setup let me know im not picky at the moment I just want to get my eyes in the air. I most likely left some parts out since im rushed to finish up supper for the kids but the conversation will continue, Thank You all so much.
