I have them. They let my FPV antenna hang straight down. Pretty straightforward to install. Had to shave some plastic for the compass and CANBUS to fit. Other than that I like them. Still get in the way sometimes in strong winds.

+1 That's my stock line and actually used it once. My neighbor said something about photographing him while he was working in his yard. I told him I he wasn't that intersecting.

I use a cell phone clip and extension cable. I recently made another mount using an ipad mount I got for $15. Will post a pic when I can.

That's why I stopped going to Burger King. They kept saying "Sorry about your weight"

I get 2km with my stock Tx, others here get more (no antenna mods to Tx or Rx). So stock should be fine to start off with. For FPV, I suggest going over to the FPV forum. It's just a few days old, and that's where the FPV discussions are. You can look my posts to see what I use. Do the same...

Maybe it's fun?

I've only used the Fatshark P2s and quite frankly am a bit disappointed. I get reasonable range with Spironet and Patch antennas, but the image is poor. I thought it was because I'm nearsighted and needed the diopter lens set. I got those the other day and they start at +2.0 which must be too...

Just got my FSs the other day. I'll have to put the Tx that came with it on my P2 and do a comparison. Not sure how much more range is necessary, at least as far as I'm concerned. 2 km is pretty amazing.

Not sure what you mean by "I like to fly low". These FPV systems are line of sight, so if you get objects like buildings, trees or people between the transmitter and receiver you will quickly loose signal. If you fly far enough away such that you really can't distinguish your quad against the...

Mostly right. You have to make sure the transmitter/receiver all work together. I think Immersion builds for Fatshark so that should work together. The Diversity 5802 monitor appears to be the same as the Boscam 5802 and seems to work ok with the Immersion 600 mW Tx

I have a 600mw and have no problem with the video at 2km. I also have no problem controlling the P2 at that range with the stock controller. Based on my experience people tend to underestimate the altitude you have to fly at to maintain line of sight with your quad in order the radio can still...

Results seem to vary a lot. I have the Immersion 600mw, FS/Immersion Spironet antennas and a Diversity 5802 monitor (most likely the same one branded as Boscam) and I've gone to 2km and probably had some to go.

Based on my independent survey, you're the only one pissed at DJI

Hmmm, they said shipping within 48 hrs last Thursday and I had not heard anything yet so I emailed them. Here is the response I just got: Thanks for getting in touch with your question about your Flytrex. I'm so sorry for the wait with your Core 2. We've been experiencing some delays with our...
