I didn’t intend to take on a new hobby, but sfcfury saw to that shortcoming when he sent me a vid of some guy flying his helicopter FPV. I’ve mounted cams in 2 of my Roban helis but only for DVR. So, being absolutely new to FPV and seriously ignorant, thought I would pass on my experiences and hopefully garner a few tips from those folks who really do know what they are doing! Here’s my setup…
Roban MD-500E 700 Conversion Kit
PhoenixTech 600 Mechanics stretched to 700 size (6s)
Scorpion Tribunus 120 ESC
Beast X FBL
Futaba 3008SB/T10J Radio
BAG Gimbal
Caddx (Dji version) Cam and Air Unit
Dji V2 goggles
Motionsic Head Tracker
So, after watching several vids of guys flying FPV in planes, I started looking at FPV equipment. It’s confusing. Ok, I just decided to go with Dji because it looked to be the easiest setup and so far that assumption has been correct. Not the cheapest…but less stressful. So far. My initial goal was to purchase the BAG gimbal unit and Caddx cam/air unit first simply because I needed those in hand to plan out the MD-500E build, then buy the pricey goggles later.
