It took me a while until discovering what exactly to buy, reading and asking in forums. As this is not a cheap upgrade, I did want to get it right at once.
So I finally bought the following components:
- Fatshark Predator pack. It includes the goggles, a camera, and a 2S 1000mAh battery.
- ImmersionRC 600mw video transmitter, including 5.8GHZ antennas.
- Immersion RC Spironet circularly polarized antennas, 5.8GHZ.
- 3S 1000mAh 11.1v LiPo battery for the video transmitter
With these you have everything you need in order to start flying in FPV. You can also choose not to buy the goggles and purcharse an LCD screen, there are cheap ones out there.
As this frame is a bit small, I've to place one of the batteries unterneath the frame, so I've bought a plastic landing gear from banggood to avoid the components touching the ground. And it is also a good idea in case of having a crash, because it will absorb most part of the impact avoiding brakings.
So everything put toguether looks like this
Notice that the wood stick allows me to put the FPV camera on the front, and gives me space to mount the GoPro just behind it with the GoPro mount. So the camera is inside the landing gear (not in the picture now).
The wire connections of the FPV system are easy. The camera has one wire, that goes to the right side of the transmitter (video, positive, ground). The battery is connected to the black and red wire that goes to the left side of the transmitter.
It is really important, both for the goggles and the video transmitter, to attach the antenna at the first place, and after that connect the battery. Don't do it otherwise!
I also find useful the velcro strap ties, for batteries or whatever you need.
