Which fpv monitor with built in Rx have you selected from www.rcmumbai.com ? Please post the link. Also which Tx are you using? If it is a 5.8GHz tx then any 5.8GHz Rx will work provided you have to synchronize the channels. But I prefer using the Tx & Rx of the same brand.

Even I use this one. You can use any 12V, 1.5A  charger adapter to charge this one. Just need some modification. It comes with a jst plug charging cable. Just purchase any 12v, 1.5-2 A charger and remove the plug and add a JST. This will solve the problem. Basically it uses a 7.4V 2S 2450 mAh lipo inside.

Thanks very much,btw how is your experience with the monitor???

Finally decided to buy boscam rx-5802 lcd monitor..

Good decision. Its not bad considering the price range. You are getting the receiver, battery plus the monitor in one unit. So no extra battery and connections needed. The display is ok (though only 800x480). The reception is also good. I am using a Boscam TS832 600mW transmitter. Never had any problem till now. Only drawback is it doesn't come with a charger and you have to do some DIY to charge the battery inside. Tough not a big task!

Shyam Hembram

I am using avionics 400mw tx. I think it's a clone of boscam tx.hope it wont have any problem.;)

I guess not. Just synchronize the freq and channel.

Shyam Hembram

Thanks.and how much would be the range with circular polarised antennas. Just curious

Well sorry I do not use circular polarized antennas. I use the default antennas and I get moderate range. Although I haven't tested to the extreme yet!!

Shyam Hembram

anyway how far you have flown yet???

I keep my range within 200-250m max!

Circular polarized antennas dramatically increase range compared to a whip. I use the IMRC CP v2 antennas. Max distance I have dared is 1.5km.
Even DIY CP antennas will give better range than stock.

meet2ami

Wow...1.5 km thats good range with basic setup! Which Radio and receiver are you using Ashimda?

Shyam Hembram

wow 1+km is a dream come true for me

Immersion Rc 600mW tx with matching Uno Rx. With the right conditions your video range can exceed your 2.4 rc control range.
Im using a 9xr with a Frsky module.

meet2ami

Ok...even I am using 600mW boscam Tx but my radio is the cheap orange T-six. Do not have the guts to fly beyond range. So till now never able to test the range of the 600mW Tx!  :( May be someday with a better radio!
Looking for a 9xr but it is not available in any LHS!

Shyam Hembram

i will also be using a 9xr with orange module and rx.till then fingers crossed
