Mr Mufakka said:Yes!! Please more information about mating the Nexus 7 and P2! I think it would make an awesome monitor.
Edit: It appears you have a P2V. That would explain how you are able to use it.

I also have a Nexus 7 and have used it for FPV, but only by connecting to the GoPro via wifi and using the GoPro app, which is a few seconds delayed. The delay makes it completely unusable for true FPV, but for framing shots, etc, it is better than nothing if you are within range. Other than this, I don't think there is a way to actually input video into the Nexus 7 to use as a monitor.
Mr Mufakka said:I'm quite new to the Phantoms but one thing I remember seeing somewhere is that you should NEVER fly with the wifi on the GoPro active. Could cause flyway. Again, I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere. Something you might want to look into.]
Also, there is some part of the Phantom 2 Vision that allows it to use the Android app and inturn, a Nexus. Just need to find out what part that is.

What you really want to find is an IPS monitor. I've only seen the Lilliput? for over $300. IPS monitor will give you a much wider field of view, and even if the brightness rating is the same, has more pixel density and better glare resistance, so it will appear brighter.
There is no substitute for good FPV. If you can't see where you are going, or which direction the camera is pointing-or you find your nose resting on the screen-you're going to have issues.
I am familiar with that one; we were just talking about it. That screen is an IPS screen, which is way better than any TN panel. So, even though the specs make look the same-trust me, it's a much better screen.creative86 said:havasuphoto said:These are all exactly the same "junk" 7" monitor screens.

Liliput designed a new monitor (specially for FPV users) with the same good specifications (high brightness, high resolution, battery, ...) AND with 5.8Gh receiver.

If you upgrade this kit with some omnidirectional antennas, good transmitter, you'll get a good reception/quality for FPV.
What transmitters you guys can suggest?

Heli-world has a Cloverleaf antenna set just for the Boscam 600 TX-that has 1 antenna that is SMA(receiver), and 1 antenna that is RP-SMA(Transmitter), and that is what I'm using.
havasuphoto said:There is no reason to go beyond visual range with these aircraft. You're just taking way too many risks. And, if you're relying on flying be reference to FPV, and it goes out-then what is your plan? You'll need one.
That's what I do too. You're just not going to get more than a Standard Definition video signal, regardless of what you use.creative86 said:havasuphoto said:There is no reason to go beyond visual range with these aircraft.

That is true. I also want a visual of my Phantom.
I do aerial video's and FPV can help me to see my camera position...
Thanks for the tips, I will look for the Boscam transmitter and the polarizing antenna's.
havasuphoto said:Also look into adding the iOSD Mini-so you can have an overlay on your video to give you all kinds of important information. I use the center "chevron" or artificial horizon, to line up my shots....
Yes, that's the antenna's I'm using...don't have a link. But, I also have 1 Fatshark antenna on my receiver as well. Just waiting for the RP-SMA to SMA adapter I ordered before placing the other one on the Phantom.creative86 said:havasuphoto said:Also look into adding the iOSD Mini-so you can have an overlay on your video to give you all kinds of important information.

I think I will go for the Liliput in combination with a Boscam 600mw receiver. Then I can change the antennas at transmitter and receiver. I think this will do the job to put my aerials to a higher level...
I will look for the mini-iosd.

Do you also have a link?

Flying fox said:After a lot of research I ordered a Feelworld fpv monitor. It's in the same league as Lilliput but less expensive. Read reviews on photography sites and most were impressed. I decided on the 10 inch as it don't intend to mount it on the tx. I will either tripod mount or as I saw on dji guys, make a ground station out of my Ali carry case. Mount the screen on the inside of the hinged lid. Battery will slip into one of the cut outs and clip the rx on the top of the lid when open. Probably going with Boscam 600, clover antennas and iosd mini.
