First FPV flights 2-4-2012 (2 min 45 sec)

My FPV setup is a work-in-progress, so please don't take any of this as gospel:

EagleEyes FPV Ground Station: For now, this is simply a video distribution device with room to grow. http://www.eagletreesystems.com/osd/EagleEyes.htm

Sunsky 1.2G 800mw video TX/RX http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/13...6+receiver.htm

Sony CCD Camera (DPC-520S) Great camera! Avoid CMOS cameras. http://www.dpcav.com/xcart/product.p...cat=264&page=1

2.1mm wide angle lens This lens looks great, but I might switch over the the 2.5mm. http://www.dpcav.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16295

Homemade IBCrazy Skew Planar Wheel (RHCP) RX Antenna. Pure AWESOMENESS https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...1352583&pp=100

Homemade IBCrazy Clover TX antenna - pure awesomeness pt2. 1120MHz. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1388264

DPCAV low pass filter for 1.2 The video TX is just too much power and causes harmonic interference with my 2.4 control TX. This is important with this setup. http://www.dpcav.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16438

7" Digital Haier TV Great little monitor with decent daylight visibility and shows static when signal is weak/low. Same as the Haier monitors. Got this for 30 bucks at CVS in a blowout sale. http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Prism-.../dp/B001W8WEGC

That it for now. Goggles are on the horizon along with a bunch of other goodies.

Other stuff: 2 2200mAh 3S packs parallel for the ground station. Cheap and disposable Harbor Freight case. LCD voltmeter.

The SlowStick makes for a great fun starter platform. But, it's lack of roll control stability, super draggy with all the dangly bits, and lack of crash resistance are among a few of its short-comings for FPV. As a proof of concept however, it is perfect.
