What do I need?

[rickp]

So I want to do some FPV (help aiming the GoPro etc). I';ve got an ImmersionRC 5.8Ghz TX, and an airwave receiver. Played with it abit on the Hexacopter feeding an image from the GoPro to the ground.

I guess I could fit a small camera for FPV, and on the ground feed the received signal into some FatShark (BaseSD?) goggles? That gets around any lag from the gopro... Anything else I';d need? Tempted by an OSD that reads MAVlink so I can see voltage/current etc..

My 2 multi-rotors are APM based (2.0 and 2.5 board respectively) if that makes any difference (though I guess only to the OSD if I add that).

Cheers,
Rick

A set of Spiro antennas if you don';t have them would help.
MinimOSD V1.0, but if you want to read Current and Voltage you will need an Attopilot for APM 2.0 and either another one for the 2.5 or the 3DR Power module.
Wide Dynamic Range Camera (WDR)
LC Filter for video if you don';t have one
Goggles.. you will only need base edition which will help with cost.

Thanks. Ok - power modules I have.
Clover-leaf antenna - good point - added to the list.
Any suggestions for a good WDR camera to use?

Get one with an infrared filter fitted.. lens angle is kinda personal prefers.. 2.8mm is my fav..
