Cheapo Chinese 4K cameras

HI All,

This is my first post so go easy on me please ;o)

I have been interested in RC for many years but fancied an FPV Hexacopter.

It's my first attempt at FPV and building a multirotor. I have all the gear to build an S550 and get it into the air. I have no video TX or gimbal / camera. I'm thinking of using a Walkera G-3D but when it comes to the camera I notice all the cheap Chinese 4K models on eBay for peanuts. See here

Has anyone any experience of these? Are they just garbage?

They have USB and HDMI connections. So will they connect to a video TX?
I suppose I should find out it it will fit the G-3D too...

I see they have wifi output but I'm not interested in using my phone / tablet for the FPV. (I picked up a pair of Skyzone V2 goggles locally) 

Is it a case of 'you get what you pay for'? Should I forget the idea and buy a Go Pro or have the cheap cameras caught up more expensive kit?

Thanks for reading my ramblings, any input greatly appreciated.

    OK. I bought the Walkera G-3D, a Boscam Skyzone TS5813S 25mW 5.8GHz 40ch FPV VTx and an el cheapo 4K camera.

    Fingers crossed it all plays nicely together. If the camera is terrible it's no great loss. It was only £30, my three year old can have it.

    Will let you know how I get on once I've put everything together.
