Hello,

I would like to setup fpv on rc car. In the beginning I want to start with using small screen/tv/iPad as screen.
Can some one please help me list out all the equipment needed? May be post links of each one?
I prefer to buy from lhs online shops and if not available there use banggood as next option.

Thanks.

A basic FPV setup:
Transmitter part - VTX-Antenna-Camera-Battery
Receiver part - VRX-Antenna-AV Screen-Battery
For RC cars , Sub-GHz transmitters are best. I don't know whether they are found in India. But 1.3 GHz works pretty well if you have a moderate amount of obstacles b/w the tx and rx.

On the car,
TX - BOSCAM TS350 5.8G 10mW 8 Channel AV Transmitter - http://www.rcbazaar.com/product.aspx?productid=9436. It is with antenna.
Camera - BOSCAM CM211 CMOS 480 TVL FPV Camera - http://www.rcbazaar.com/product.aspx?productid=9438
Battery - Tattu 450mAh 11.1V 75C 3S1P Lipo with XT30 plug - https://rcmumbai.com/fpv-racing-drones/batteries/tattu-450mah-11-1v-75c-3s1p-lipo-battery-pack-with-xt30-plug.html

At the receiving end,
RX - BOSCAM RC805 5.8Ghz FPV Receiver (8 Channel) - http://www.rcbazaar.com/product.aspx?productid=9432. It is with antenna.
Screen - my tv screen?
Battery - some 12V DC power adapter?

Can you please review above and tell me if they are compatible each other?

Bro 5.8 GHz has the worst range in front of obstacles. Unless you are flying a plane, 5.8 GHz is the worst idea on a car.
Get a 1.3 GHz VTx and VRx.
Camera seems fine.
In the case of battery for VTx don't buy the batteries with XT30, buy a battery with a JST connector as the VTx has the same connector.
You can use the TV if you want but, the range will be lost exponentially, but enough for a good ride.
Yes you can use a 12 V dc supply with the VRx.
And , don't get the stock antenna, it sucks. Buy a good antenna for your FPV.

How about 900MHZ 200mW Tx/Rx & 1/3-inch CCD Camera PAL 420TVL - http://hobbyxyz.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_95&product_id=149
I read some where that if I am using 2.4 GHz radio in the car, above can create interference. Any idea?

It's not possible to cause an interference with 900 MHz and 2400 MHz , Since 2400/900 = 2.67 , Is not a Natural number. So, it won't cause interference.

Again I think that 900 MHz frequency is illegal in India. Correct me If I'm wrong.
