Hey guys,
just picked up my phantom yesterday. had a couple quick flights today with my single stock battery and i'm hooked. I already have the zenmuse gimbal and 12v quick charger. Today I purchased a case and some extra hyperion and dji batteries.
So here's my question. I plan to shoot offroad racing cars in the sand dunes and remote jungle areas for my business. Mainly youtube type stuff. Nothing is going to be great distances away. Pretty much always well within plain sight (<100 yards). I am interested in FPV to get a better idea of what exactly the camera is capturing "live". I have looked into the fatshark systems and seen a couple others. I know the goggles seem to be the option of choice for dedicated on board viewing, but i feel like most of what i am shooting i would prefer to watch with my own eyes and glance at a monitor or screen just to make sure i am properly following an object and not cropping it out of the frame.
I also had an idea that for some of our racing events where it is not published live on TV, and from the pit or trailer area it can be very difficult to see any of the cars racing, would it be possible to feed live video to a large flat screen TV for an audience to watch? The races are very short so 5-10 minutes flight time (per session) would be ok... Would you use the go pro camera to capture footage or a stand alone camera? I have read enough about the 2.4gz wifi problems to know i dont want to stream footage through the go pro app to my smartphone. Does the fatshark support a system that basically converts it to 5.8gz and uses the gopro3hd to send video footage to a remote monitor source (smartphone, small monitor, tv, etc) From what i see the video is mediocre and not suitable for large displays.
Can the monitor display a quality picture/video that is smooth and not choppy or delayed? Hope that makes sense
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. sorry for the newbie questions, i have spent alot of time researching online to try and learn as much as possible.
thanks in advance
