Thanks for clearing that up Saurabh. Waiting for your field test.

Sure, will be testing it this Sunday. Will post the results along with the video. 

Check out some wonderful FPV in HD

there are 4videos taken with the help Ritewing on this page!!!

This is definitely shot on a GoPro HD Hero!!!

These are amazing videos.   But I would not term them as FPV. An ideal FPV setup would transmit live signals to the base station. These are HD recorders that record movie in HD. Nothing more.  
In such setups, for navigation, usually another FPV is used with live feed to the base station to see where the aircraft is going, while the onboard HD camera shoots the video.

In the video below, you can very well see the secondary FPV camera which is being used for navigation, while the HD recorder is doing the movie.



So far, I am not aware of any such FPV setup that will broadcast live feed in HD. Atleast not available for hobby purpose.

Hi saurabh, did you do a field test of the HK fpv system you bought? How is the range? How are you planing to increase the range of radio.

I was trying to shy away from this question   and hence was keeping mum  

Unfortunately, I could not test the HK FPV system due to some personal reasons. And, I will not be able to test it in the future either. I do not have the system with me anymore...  

My good old friend, Raj from Hyderabad had called and was in an urgent need of a FPV setup for a project. I have given my system to him. I hope he will take it on from here, and post the results along with the video.

I have given him the FPV on a condition that he will test and upload the video of his first flight ASAP.  

HD Cam Which can simultaneously record HD and Transmit VGA (External Tx)

Regarding this inspiring Video of the breathe taking scenery, people were wondering if the one can Transmit HD. Well still not yet, but unlike how this video was taken from a separate HD cam, while FPV with other, now people have a better option.

FlyCAM has released a HD Cam which can record HD as well as feed a Tx with VGA for FPV/Telemetry. The best thing about this is that you dont need to put an extra camera, and what more is that you get a WYSIWYG (What You See, Is What You Get) experience.

Well Saurabh finally I could edit the video , will upload it today.

The system gave range of 800 mtrs during ground test(that's really gud for grd test). I expect it to give mim 3 Kms range in air.  The aerial test also went on gud without any problem, the video quality is quite good except for some momentary disturbance but that's because of break in line of sight. The farther I flew & higher I flew picture clarity was much better without any disturbance/interference in video link.  

Thats good news waiting for the video.

@ujjwaana
The Hero HD also has same feature of simultaneously recording and transmitting video. Quality of video is better than this but ofcourse at a price.
Added this flycam one also to my wishlist, till now only Hero HD was in my list

Here's the link for the video guys.

HK has relaunched the SAME product with a MUCH BETTER camera...

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16457

Image device: 1/3-inch Sony super HAD color CCD
Pixel: 752 x 582(PAL)
Synchronization: Internal synchronization
Horizontal resolution: 520TV Lines

VTx and VRx remain the same.

I have ordered one yesterday. Will post the results with the new camera setup.

Not sure, but atleast in RC groups I do not see many reviews about hobbycity fpv. May be because its new and may take more time. But most of the guys use other stuffs like lawmate, sunsky and the hobbywireless kits

Hi azhaguvel
how much was the overall cost(with shipping ) of the 200mW system ?
was there any problem with the customs cause I think 900 is reserved for GSM network in India ?

still available ?

Anyone help me please, I have tried to use this things but, i just got two big lines in the TV. I tried to all channel, but the best picture i ever got is two big motionless lines. So what should i do?
I think the tx/rx has made a communication, because on the right channel the lines become motionless.

is this the first time you are using it ?

Yes, this is my first time. so what's wrong with that?

Take it easy buddy... no one said there is something wrong with doing ANYTHING the first time. 

The question was only meaning to probe whther this worked previously and then this symptom started, or if this has never worked in the first place.

Is someone know how to fix it?

take your camera in your hand , the socket must be on the down side , wires should be  from left white black red , see the white female socket where wire goes , you will notice that the black wire is going to positive side , reverse the socket , boom you are ready to go .

and yeah we do a bit wrong some time we do it for first time


let me know the status

I think I was right in connection. Because the wire cannot reserved. It is designed cannot suit if reversed.
This is the picture :
