Hi guys
I'm in the middle of the laborious process of figuring what kit to buy for my barebones P2, in order to give me FPV and good aerial photography.
I'll try to limit how stupid any questions are but I can't guarantee it sorry!
Gimbal - I've spent absolutely ages reading about cheap gimbals, goodluckbuy & tarot etc but have almost decided for sure to get the Zenmuse 3D. Yes I wanted to buy a cheap gimbal given the huge cost difference but I don't really see options for a 3D one other than Zenmuse, and after seeing side by side comparison videos between 2D & 3D ones etc I think I'd ultimately end up with more usable footage from the 3D, despite begrudging the cost.
Camera - I don't yet have a gopro. I've been scratching my head about which version to get but have decided on the GoPro4 Silver. Reason, the GP4 Black has slightly better FPS options etc but £100 more and no screen on it. After speaking to other gopro owners (not in the context of drones) they lament the lack of a screen on them, so it makes it a no brainer for me. What I'm not sure about though is whether the new GP4 versions will be plug and play with the Zenmuse gimbal/FPV setup etc?
FPV tx/rx/screen - currently have no solid idea. I want a system with quite a bit of range so was wondering about the Immersion RC 600mw TX, or a boscam setup. I have a suspicion though that I read something on the forum here about the Immersion RC one not being compatible with the P2 non vision version? No idea about a monitor really. I'd like to get one that has an integral RX and battery so there's no mucking about with loads of extra wiring, or things held together with tape etc. I realise cheap isn't often best (buy cheap buy twice etc), but is there a reasonably priced monitor suitable (that also doesn't blue screen)? Possibly one of these but I can't see anything about blue screen....

I'd be inclined to buy some sort of 'all in one' kit for the FPV setup but only if I'm not having to pay a lot extra for the fact of a bundle as it were.
Appreciate any guidance on my potential choices, but especially on the issue of whether the GoPro4 will be plug & play etc.
Thanks!
