Getting Started in aerial photography? Here is what you’ll need.

1. Camera:

2. Transmitting and receiving equipment Rx/Tx (optional but highly recommended):

3. Aerial Plateform:

– Tricopter:

– EasyStar:

Here is my first FPV setup.

Aerial platform:

This photo was taken from my Easystar drone with a FY31AP 8 waypoint aircraft autopilot.

FPV set up

OSD: I used a Hornet OSD (On Screen Display)

Camera: 540 TVL camera

Tx (transmitter):

Rx (receiver): RC305 5.8G AV Receiver.

Converter from RCA cables to a USB: I used the Encore ENMVG usb audio video grabber. Using the converter allows you to display the video on your computer using a USB port, rather than a TV with RCA connections.

The video capturing system will look like this (No OSD)

The Video receiving system will look like this.
