Ok, here is a setup I put together through trial and error. It has great range now, but I have yet to send it out to its limit. So far 1500 ft away without even a glitch.
For FPV monitors - go with the LIPO & Receiver built in. Cut down on setup and messy wiring. You have AV outputs to record to DVR and AV input for outside sources. If your battery runs low, you can just plug in a LIPO or something like an Anker rechargeable battery like I have.

Transmitter - I started with the AVL58 TX and this ImmersionRC blows it's doors off. So frustrating having my FPV quit out after 1000 to 1500ft and flying blind with the AVL58, I switched to this and even with the Boscam monitor/receiver above it works great.

RX Atennas - with the Boscam monitor, you have 2 antenna ports, definitely want to upgrade from the stock ants. I bought this.

I also got this to add when I want extra long range. One end fits into your Boscam monitor and the other attaches to an RP-SMA Antenna (You can turn it SMA with a converter.

I tried to find all USA Dealers here, but you all can find your own - closest to where you are.
Install walkthroughs - I have followed these and this does work very well.
This guy is awesome on how to set up rigs like this. Yes there is a bit of soldering, but it was well worth it to get nearly flawless FPV at long range.
