Micro FPV with a Walkera Ladybird

[MrBen]

did that come with the cam on already (fpv version)

[Smit80]

No it did'nt Ben,

I had bought the cam previously thinking the Hubsan would carry it. Which it did... at almost full throttle, leaving little manouvering power. Think the Tx5805 weighs ~10g and so does the Hubsan.

A lot of people claim a better experience with the Ladybird.

[MrBen]

well a good investment if you want to FPV your house on these windy days! hey you could fpv trafford centre while the mrs goes shopping

[gavnthat]

Already on it martin  will be finished tonight for you.

gave you use 5.8 or the 1.2 on that ladybird?

[gavnthat]

Using the tx5805 that comes with it which is 5.8, gonna try 1.2ghz on it though cos it would be cool to not worry bout flying behind stuff, I have seen a 1.2ghz tax and vrx combo that I reckon I could wire into the control transmitter and still use the little screen aswell.

[gavnthat]

Even if I went 1.2 would want to keep it really portable as that's the best bit being able to fly it anywhere

Its the tx5805 one from hobby king you want Dave vtx and cam in one  the rmrc 5.8 might be better but the tax5805 is easier just plug and play

Lookin smooth there Smity, nice tour hehe you find it easier with goggs on?

[gavnthat]

Indoor Fpv ftw  picture looks good I'm still surprised how many walls it can go through at close range. Glad the antenna works ok.
Smashed mine today but to be fair it has taken many big hits since I got it, lost count of the amount of times it has bounced all that way down the stairs. It has taken quite a few decent crashes onto concrete as well but today I clipped a tree/bush got disorientated and nailed the throttle thinking I could save it only to plough it straight into the road  superglue fix to the frame and all is good again. Got another frame on the way from bangood already as I sort of thought it would get smashed up at some point. I'll post vids tomorrow.
