    FPV Newbie with Questions.

    Hi Guys,

    Im exploring the world of FPV and have a few questions.

    I just purchased the FatShark Dominator Goggles with Fatshark internal 5.8rx Module. I also ended up buying the ImmersionRC 600mw/5.8 Transmitter.

    Are there any problems thus far with my setup? I'll be putting it onto my Flamewheel Quad. Any camera you guys recommend? Please let me know.

    Thanks.

    I think that as far as cameras go -- the Sony WDR range are pretty good value. There's a review on the RCModelReviews YouTube channel and plenty of others seem to be using them with very good results.

    I have pretty well the same setup as you for my quad, also a flamewheel (and a VC-450 witespy)

    If you want to have HD video as well as fpv you may want to look at using the GoPro or Horyzon cams video out feature for your fpv cam. I've used the Gopro for FPV and found it ok, but personally was not keen on the wide FOV, although some prefer it. Also does not handle light transitions all that well, but overall they do the job pretty good.

    If you go stand alone cam, I'd recommend Tim @ readymaderc - he has good cams and will make sure you have what you need to work with your system if you let him know what you have. I think I'll be ordering one of his mini pico cams soon for my quad.

    Hi Blueprint,
    i already get my ImmersionRC 600 /5.8 and the Fatsherk dominator (5.8) goggles but i canīt connect them one to the other.
    i tried almost everything but still donīt have any signal. i was using the goggles with other FPV system and itīs working fine. But i can not make it work with the Immersion.

    could you please post some pics of your wiring setup and some advices on how you did it?

    thanks a lot for your help.

    From Lima, Peru
