Hello everyone,

I've just registered to the forum, and I'm about to dive into my first quad/hex copter build, but I have one question...

Watching some of these videos of people flying, are obviously flying via FPV.  I'm really confused on how this works.  obviously the video streams to a laptop of some sort while flying with a radio controlled device.  What items do i need to do this sort of thing?  I'd really like to fly using the FPV.  (Along with the Go Pro)

I'm sorry if this is a commonly asked question - I've searched everywhere, I'm just not sure of the steps/products needed to do this.  CAN you use the Go Pro as your primary FPV camera?

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers!

Yes, you can use the GoPro for FPV since it does output a live video signal.  All you need is a transmitter, receiver and viewing device.  Here is a good place to start.

But - I recommend that you wait on the FPV and learn to fly first.
