What are the best types of fpv cameras that can record video.should i get the goggles or monitor, what is the most cost effective? What are the best types of cameras to get that can record video, has to be compatible with Arducopter 2014 DIY kit, I don't have the 3DR radio telemetry if that's an issue, what am I looking at spending where I can get the best bang for my buck?I have a Pixhawk, and I want to get into 3D mapping and modelling!
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
well I disagree with gimbal for beginners bad crash will wipe out you camera gear & gimbal try to build up confidence first. CCD, coms camera should be afixed to the frame no gimbal so you know the deflection of your craft. I would stay away from large stores like Banggood.com they do not respond to emails promptly and you be stuck if you find your self needing help support god forbid you have a problem . the cost is a little low as well since a good 7-10 inch monitor or gogles cost about $300. make sure the CCD , COMS camera you select has a decent wide angle lens. other isuies is hobbyking sells some good stuff as well as some crap fat shark Emerson RC are most popular FPV gear. follow the rule you get what you pay for ! WAKERA also makes some inexpensive gimbal and camera FPV gear .
I do want the best quality for my purchase, I realize that the technology is getting better and better everyday and people are coming up with new quads and fpv kits, and the one I purchase will most likely be out of date by 4 months.
So I am considering spending more to get the best quality / newest piece of equipment.
fpv gear is subjective to the user and can be inexpensive as there are all in one systems available for sale . Or can be very expensive just depends on what your trying to accomplish? yes telemetry or OSD is a must
