Strange FPV question?!?

[JohnM_83]

Hi guys and girls,

I do have a strange question. In last several episodes of Flite Test I have seen GoPro Session - presumably 5, on mini quads flown FPV by the crew. How was it done? I do consider getting a new GoPro - I have killed 3+ long time ago, but even GoPro support states that 5 and 5 Session do not have analog output. So guys - HOW did you do that? Using a digital to analog converter would introduce so much lag in the system that flying a small quad would be virtually impossible!
Please do enlighten me
BTW from what I have seen - (I'm not talking about digital receiver - transmitter episode) goggles and their receiver was analog

Most likely there is a dedicated fpv cam on the quad and the GoPro is only for recording.

I don't believe they are using the GoPro to fly just record.

Bricks is correct they almost always fly through dedicated FPV camera and not the GoPro/other HD recording cameras. The HD recording camera always has more latency, even with an analog output, that makes flying FPV difficult. Especially on the faster mini quads.

THX very much. Now finally after reading your input, I have spotted a little lens under hero 5��
