I hope you all don't laugh at my inexpensive setup. I'd blown my budget on a Flyzone Beaver, DX6 and now an F450 quad (and a bunch of lipos)...but I really wanted to add FPV to the mix so when I found Amazon had a Tx/Rx combo for $37, I figured it was worth a try. I already had a 7" LCD for $26, so I pulled the trigger.
At first I thought I'd made a mistake when the vRx overheated on a 3s lipo, but once it cooled down and was connected to an 8.4v NiMH all was well.
Here's a video of my first attempt at FPV:

I'm not really endorsing this kit, particularly if it turns out to be incompatible with FatShark goggles (coming soon I hope), but it seems to work for those on a tight budget.
Note, I did forget to add the frustration of having to learn the ridiculous naming convention for SMA connectors that ended up needing an adapter for my cloverleaf antennas.
