Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It is difficult to resist to the FPV technique, and I decided on my humble coming into this fantasy world seen from above.On my Fun-Cub I replaced 808 # 16 with Denver 5002 (55g) and now I need a little FPV camera abt 25g and glasses (the cheaper ones). So far 808 # 16 was more than enough but it was a problem with the inclusion .I was never sure wheter it's on or not.A Denver cam is easier to control by screen on the back.So Thanks for your time : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Squier Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hi Josip, thanks for sharing. Happy with you Denver ? I was up to get a go pro (session cam) for Christmas. You made me discover this brand that is unknown here in France. I will perhaps change my mind up to a DENVER ACT-5040W (120 euros vs 190 for the go pro - Denver 5002 79 euros !!!!). henri.

vic evans 1 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I bought a Medion Sport HD camera,similar to a GoPro, at Lidl, or was it Aldi? where it cost 100 euros here in France. It has full WiFi capabilities which I've tested to the limits of my field at over 500m. I fixed it to one of my planes & it works well giving 'poor mans' FPV. plus on board on/off recording or photos controlled & viewed from my tablet..

Frank Skilbeck Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Vic, if the camera is Wifi it's probably 2.4 GHz so you'd need to be careful it doesn't interfere with your radio system if it's on 2.4 (no problems with 35 mhz of course). Most dedicated FPV systems use 5.8 Ghz for this reason. 500m for a standard system is very good, better than my UK legal 25 mW 5.8 system with polarised aerials.

Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Dear Henri , for my amateur purposes Denver cam is quite satisfactory, especially as a lot cheaper (50 dlrs) than GoPro, which is still for professionals.Thanks for your time.

Can the wifi on a iPhone cause any problems ? I never thought of that before, most of the time I leave the phone in the car but on occasion I have forgotten it and it's been in my pocket.
