Hi, I'm putting together an FPV system and a new Flight TX/Rx, but the more I read the more undecided I become. Here's what I know:
I travel a lot with the Phantom, but rarely fly in urban areas, so 900 MHz seems like a good option.
I will be building a larger UAV next year, probably a Hex, so I want to invest in a quality system now, right from the start.
I mostly do aerial video, with a Sony Rx-100, no gimbal. I plan on getting an HDMI converter http://www.quadrocopter.com/Freefly-HDM ... p_612.html
and a switch, so I can use an FPV cam as my Primary for flight, switching to the Sony cam to frame during the shot. http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index. ... cts_id=472
I like the Futaba 8FG Super. I’ll need a lot of channels, and I can see the possibility for using more in the future.
So 900 seems like a great way to go, but what Flight TX frequency should I pair that with? 2.4 just doesn’t seem like it will give me the range I need. Is 1.2 a viable option?
I won't even get into antennas, but I’ve pretty much decided on an 8” monitor; while goggles are cool and immersive, my main goal is to get great shots. And although I don’t have a gimbal on the Phantom, on my next copter I probably will.
Help! Any and all info is really appreciated!
