    Black pearl AV out to second screen/laptop

    Ok thanks, it's great to finally have that cleared up. Got my eye on the ImmersionRC 5800 Duo V4. It is £175 from all stores in the UK, except from the HobbyKing UK warehouse, they have it for £100!

    Black pearl AV out to second screen/laptop

    After much "more" reading I've come to the conclusion that other than a capture card as suggested ^^ that laptop is not ideal. As for buying a larger screen, to buy a dedicated fpv screen would cost around £250. I'm going to have some fun and build a monitor from a old laptop screen. This can be...

    Black pearl AV out to second screen/laptop

    Thanks for reply. Actually it's not my laptop, it's my dads. He wants to try and use his laptop as a second screen so he can see better in the field. He told me it had VGA in and I just accepted it, which is daft as I fix computers for a living and I have these sort of problems all the time...

    Black pearl AV out to second screen/laptop

    How do I share the diversity BP screen with my laptop? The laptop has a vga port but there does not exist a AV jack to vga cable.

    TS351 / TS353

    I would really like to get myself a TS353 but I can't find one for sale in the UK. Closest I can find is the TS351 or the Skyzone ones. I have seen a similar question asked on another forum. I guy was wondering if he had been sent the wrong tx. Can you guys tell me if the TS353 would be a good...

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    Yes and I will need a adaptor for the antenna. It looks like all the online shops have updated there websites to give proper names to skyzone and boscam transmitters.

    lowest prices on FPV components (links)

    Ah I see, for some reason I thought the 7 channel BP had two antennas but I realise now that it doesn't.

    What is the advantage of a diversity receiver? Is it battery life?

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    Thanks again for the reply QYV. I will be going straight to your sticky after typing this. So the best way to go is buying another display rather than getting a transmitter to match the 32 channel BP. I will have a look for the displays that you recommend, and the helix antenna.

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    How about this? http://www.helipal.com/boscam-5-8ghz-fp ... 600mw.html Would it work with my set up. Is anyone here familiar with this brand? Or http://www.helipal.com/dji-avl58-lite-v ... er-tx.html Would this work with the BP 32 channel monitor or does it need a receiver? What sort of...

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    Thanks guys for the reply's, So what if I swaped my fatshark transmitter for a boscam one, as these are probably cheaper than 7 channel blackpearl monitors or duo receivers. If I was to buy a duo receiver, how do I set that up? Is it just a cable/cables to the blackpearl monitor and antenna on...

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    Why all this talk about IRC 600mw not pairing with Blackpearl very well? According to the Blackpearl manual the frequency's match up fine. And your experience shows that there is no issue. Perhaps all the blogs and threads I have read are old and irrelevant now with updated parts on the market.

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    Thanks for reply. Yes I'm aware that antennas are the best way to improve signal, I was just wondering if my set up was less than Ideal. I will have a look at that shop, thanks.

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    I must be barking up the wrong tree here because this RC801 blackpearl has the same frequency's as the the fatshark transmitters, 25mw, 250mw and 600mw.

    32 channel black pearl/250mw transmitter

    I'm slowly starting to get to grips with some of the terminology and some of the parts used in RC FPV. Enough at least to be able to post this question here. I've read that 600mw video transmitters do not go well with 32 channel monitors like the flysight blackpearl. I also understand that...
