Our expectations are as below:
1) A min range of 500meters.
2) Not to be on 900MHZ and 2.4GHZ frequencies.
3) Sum of TX and RX cost to be less than 200USD.
We are thinking of these options:

this is what I have been using. pretty good but have not gone further than 1k
about $300
+/-
camera seems very rugged in a metal case
well i have a system from Hobby wireless that am saleing its the
FPV905 Plug and Play 900Mhz 500mW Wireless System - come with a good $100 dollors camera its really good am saleing everything with monitor for $295 plus its only take few sec to set up i also upgrade the 2 Antennas so u don't have too i really have use it only one time so i really haven't check the range of it really but its can go over exceed the range of 1 mile (1.5 Km) at 2500' feet above the ground with the new upgrade attennas that i put on it!! its brand new still been setting around in my room in a box i will like to give it to someone that will use it better then setting in my room for few months!! so please let me know my name Rhine
I have the iftron kit, actually I have their divercity receiver and a few of their tx. It's a pretty package and works well but to get 500m you need patch antennas and tracking.
Also the higher the watts the hotter the TX gets. Some of the chinese TX come in heavy metal cases to provide the cooling. Maybe you could throw the casing away and place it under the prop...
NG Hobbies is very reputable and provides a friendly service. I would gladly recommend him.
i hope to place my order this weekend.
I would like also to have as you "mid performance equipment" for Video Rx/Tx
I live in Europe (France) and I am still hesitating between 2,4 GHZ and 5,8 GHZ frequencies
I can build Electronic kits
Could you please provide links about your equipment ?
If you ahave already tested it, could you give your comments , and the results you got with it ?
Thanks and best regards,
Jean-Claude

Good Luck getting something reliable for ~200USD. I use a 5.8 GHz diversity system that includes one 5.8 GHz 100mw transmitter w/2 audio channels ($49.99 kit), two 5.8 GHz receivers ($59.99 X 2 kit), an Oracle diversity switcher ($159.99 assembled), LiPo batteries ($20.00), a Fat Shark Killer CMOS camera ($69.95) plus a pan and tilt servo system to track the aircraft (from my junk box). So we have a total of ~400 USD and this is mid performance equipment!
