    Let's See Your Ground Station!!

    I'm curious to see some of the ground station setups if you don't mind.

    Partially to see if my method will be similiar and partially just out of curiousity!!

    Here's mine. It's not real fancy, but it saved my plane today on it's first outing thanks to the backup screen when my goggles fogged up completely. Not pictured is a boss video amp in the upper right hand corner. Total cost was ~$100...it's still a work in progress.

    Mine is just a mess of stuff and a custom wiring harness velcroed to a tripod at the moment.

    +1,

    I used to run a full tracking system and still do occaisionally when I want to do some distance..Nowadays I have a lot more fun with a barebones setup LM Rx with CP antennas, 5.8vtx relay for goggles, a battery and bec. Everything including my rc tx fits in a tiny backpack ready to rock and roll. Still gets me a good 4km no hassles.
