Hi Everyone,

I just purchased a Phantom and a GoPro in order to capture some aerial footage for a documentary film and I am completely in over my head. I have a few questions:

- Which gimbal should I buy? I put a deposit down for the Zenmuse Hero - is this a good bet?

- How do I transmit my video from the GoPro to a wireless monitor on the ground so that I can see what I am filming? I am thinking of purchasing something like this: http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index. ... ts_id=1191 but I have no idea how to send the video signal to the monitor.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello, I give some TIPs for your request:

My suggested list according to your request of a complette FPV system:
1) GoPro 3 correct USB A/V cable (just want Video or want audo too? you can hear alarms and motor extra noises throught goggles audio connector ;) )

2) Want to record your flights? Get a portable Mini DVR.

3) Better LOS + FPV? add a mini 7" or 8" LCD Monitor or better, use your Laptop as FPV big monitor ;) (see my diagrams on this link):
