Suggestions needed for affordable fixed wing kit style setup

[landedit]

Hello all, I'm looking for recommendations on a complete setup for a fixed wing aircraft. I have the FatShark goggles already but I get overwhelmed by all the camera and antenna options. I'm looking for something in the maybe $25~60ish range? It doesn't need to be super HD quality or anything. Just something that I can pin to the tail of a fixed wing airplane and go fly. I think at this point I'll need a camera, attenna and battery? Anything I'm missing? Also any advice or guidance on FPV would be helpful. I'm pretty new to it as I'm sure you can tell

Thanks!

many will suggest the $25 AIO camera and TX combos most are only 25mw some are more powerful, they work well and are $25ish, but since you dropped the cash for Fatsharks I personally would look at more serious fpv gear , the AIO 25mw are only good for approx 1500 ft

this cam combo would be my suggestion 600mwTX will get serious distance, I have & use a couple of these cheap rigs and very clean image

add a cheapo $9 OSD and you will have remaining battery voltage (like a gas gauge) and it also gives you current flight time and your still within budget

upgrade the dipole antenna to a cheap but very good AOMWAY cloverleaf polarized antenna

this doesn exceed your budget very much and would be my budget

opinion cause I use them and I do have the AIO cams and expensive caddix Tarsier with a 1 watt TBS transmitter so I have compared my fpv dollars and I beleve this will suit your existing FPV gear well and still be on a bugdget

I have gone 2 miles on a 200mW vTx & clover leaf antennas.
In my part of the world, an OSD with GPS is mandatory. Its so easy to get lost in an ocean of corn. I need an arrow to point the way home. Here is the first in a series with an economical solution.
