FPV question

[helinut]

Hi guys,
i have decided to jump into fpv and am after a complete kit with goggles, i dont want to have to buy different things from different suppliers and want to keep this simple. can anyone recommend a complete kit that is relatively cheaped and does the job? i dont want to fly too far, i will also be using a gopro and still need to buy that so price is the main issue.

thanks in advance people

Speak to Simon, although would try and get a WDR camera if you can.

I second Jumpy, Simon from www.firstpersonview.co.uk is really helpful and they offer a great, fast service. I ordered Fat Shark Attitude SD set with a SONY camera and a dv sd card recorder to record my flight videos and it all arrived the next day. Im having a couple of issues with the equipment and am in communication with Simon via email and he gets back quickly with assistance.

Some people use GoPro';s but personally I wouldn';t... there is a lag in the video... and if you Gopro batt goes flat your are snookered... also GoPro is not very good in low light.

WDR = Wide Dynamic Range.. which is better for low light and contrasty situation etc.. also most decent FPV cameras have an IR filter installed. 

Don';t get hung up on  the resolution.. you wont notice the different over 600 tvl.

I guess your link may be incorrect, should it be "firstpersonview.co.uk" perhaps.

edit: Just realised Jumpy was right in an earlier post
