From my experience, the problem is losing the image because of objects in the way, and not so much the distance. But at least my cheap setup can control the UAV ~1km away, and the video is okay to about 600m.
- jacquesm 12y agoCan you document your setup somehow? I'm really interested to see what you are using.
- maaaats 12y agoI have one setup here https://github.com/Matsemann/oculus-fpv https://github.com/Matsemann/oculus-fpv but it may be a bit overkill for this unless you're very interested. I'd go for a cheaper and smaller quadcopter if you want to fly like this, and instead of the transmitter/receiver for the video just buy a transmitter and a matching Fatshark goggle. It's the quickest way to get something flying, and if you like it then buy some more advanced stuff. So a full setup: * Cheap drone, cheap CMOS camera on the drone, video transmitter. Possibly a battery mounted on the drone if you can't steal power directly from it to the transmitter. * On the ground a pair of Fatsharks (they have built in receivers) and a battery to power them. I don't have exact product recommendations, but for instance the support on HobbyKing can help put together a setup where everything matches/works together.

- oliwary 12y agoHere is a setup that is already complete with everything included except battery, charger and remote. Seems like a good deal! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__55569__Quanum_Venture_FPV_Deluxe_Quad_Copter_Set_With_DJI_FatShark_Multistar_and_Afro_Components_PNF_.html http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__55569__Quanum_Ven...
- maaaats 12y agoThink you need the goggles as well? But anyways, a nice beginner package.
