I haven't seen many put FPV in their tanks but I am really into FPV especially on airplanes where I have quite a few and many are digital and many have head tracking where the camera turns where you turn your head.
While I just started into tanks this year I now have seven all Heng Long. Started with the T-90, bought a second hand (unassembled but second hand) Abrams, then a leopard, Challenger2, Bulldog, T-34 and last the King Tiger.
The T-90 went FPV very soon after getting it with a tiny all in one (AIO) tucked under the machine gun, The T-34 got a small camera in the drivers hatch on the front of the hull, The Bulldog got an AIO simply heat shrinked to the IR sensor. All are powered from the MFU through a BEC voltage reducer to 5V and can be turned on and off via the HL transmitter.
The Challenger just received it's system and I tried head tracking on it. The Heng Long tanks have their own controller and it's not compatable to a head tracking system as far as I know. So the head tracking requires a separate transmitter. I have my Fatsharks with a Trinity going to my DX which transmits the HT signal to a small 4ch receiver in the tank separate from the normal tank controls. I can turn the video and the receiver off from the tank controller.
Here are some pictures of what it took to make the Challenger head tracking.
