My question is what do I power the ALV58 RX with? And could I simplify the screen and RX power somehow? Also how do I mount the field monitor to the Phantom Controller.

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm contemplating getting the same thing. I have the Phantom 2 and H3-3D gimbal, but need the FPV system. I may just get this, but hopefully someone chimes in if this is decent.

You don't need the FPV hub.

Do you know what that monitor does if it loses it's input signal? Some turn off and that's not what you want...

 

[lightingbryan]

No idea. But that brings up a good point. Why wouldn't I want the hub? Everyone has said its easy and it can reduce weight as you don't have a bunch of spliced wires. I will look into the monitor!

This is the monitor I bought... http://www.ebay.com/itm/140947005257?ss ... 1439.l2649

Works perfect, half the price, and goes to white noise before total black out... You can power it with any 3S battery.

As far as the FPV hub, you would be adding weight. Where do you think the wires that would be "spliced" plug into??? I will promise that you don't need that **** hub, but if you want to waste $12 I can send you my paypal address.

The manual states that after 30 seconds of no signal you must awake it from sleep by pressing any button but the power button. So it sounds like it would work ok?

 

[Boozshey]

Sounds it...

That monitor looks good to me too. I like the hood and it looks like a good size. How do you attach it to the remote? The key I think is to use analog instead of a digital signal, since when the digital signal is weak, it just goes blue.

The ALV58 has a RCA A/V connector.

The one that Boozsheyposted looks good. I need multiple inputs, as I sometime will use hdmi. I do a lot of cinematography and photography so I choose to get a higher end model.

 

[Boozshey]

I like that HDMI also, thats a nice touch.
