How-To Use Phone as CHEAP $18 FPV Monitor!

Today we're checking a super easy, cheap way to turn any smartphone (Android or iPhone) into an affordable #FPV monitor and/or VR goggles! I'm reviewing four different FPV OTG UVC units, each at different price-points (from $18-38), and different features on each. There's a lot of benefits of using your phone as an FPV monitor; it's a lot more convenient and portable (your phone is already on you, in your pocket, large battery life), there's plenty of apps to easily video record (DVR) your footage, plus it's a LOT more affordable than other FPV goggles and monitors out there. I've been racing FPV on all kinds of RC toys over the years, from #drones, planes, cars, and even a boat! It's a ton and fun, and you gotta try it out!

Good info. I'm going to look into getting one of these. I can think of a lot of different applications for it. 5.8ghz is definitely the way to; I have grown tired of wifi fpv.

[@AuthenTech]

Yea man, WiFi FPV racing is sorta garbage, super slow latency

[@dreamsgrandpa8192]

Hi Ben! I love your tutorials so much but can you maybe tell me good cameras compatible with these as im new to fpv and im trying to fpv my own car thank you!

[@maikwerner7325]

Nice review. The OTG receivers provide a lot of new funcionality to FPV. People even use it on their PC's or to stream the feed to the internet. Its pretty convenient ;)

[@jakejocson5492]

Sir how is the maximum range of the cam

[@itzlemz1925]

Only found your channel today you should have way more subs and views man great channel

[@GorillamansGarage]

They are still UVC protocol... so be very careful... some phones do not support it even though they may be OTG... they are not UVC. However you can use these on a laptop or destktop running NCH video software, but the units do get rather hot when in use.

[@AuthenTech]

Thanks for sharing

[@jarredelijah6803]

What is UVC? Please enlighten me

Great video. Thanks for answering the question I've had for a while. Do they make these units for 1.2Ghz? Thank you.

Hey Ben! Love your vids. We just picked up the ROTGO2 and I’m trying to find what the correct app is. Could you point us in the right direction? Thanks Amigo!

Pretty cool presentation, what app (i think you forgot to mention the app name) and if there is app for iPhone or if there is any option to use iPhone as a FPV monitor at all ?

I wasn't using iPhone back then, but if I find one I'll let you know

[@RobUkFly]

@@AuthenTech Thanks Ben

Run it on any Android TV or IOS/Droid Tablet Any OS with an IOS or Android Emulator also. I do not remember the name of the best App though for setup. If you're having issues try another Config App.

wish I could like this video more than once

[@Kolsch221]

So which App do you use? Thanks for any information

[@clivejacobs5987]

Hi again Ben, further to my last question regarding the use of these units with Huawei phone, I suppose I could use it with my Amazon Fire ( 7 inch) tablet ? Do you know if it would work with this? Thanks again .

I'm curious too

[@clivejacobs5987]

Hi Ben, thanks for the video. Do you know if these units work with all smart phones? Mine is an older Huawei P8 light, a great phone in its time and still works well but not much good if it won't work with one of these devices. Thanks again.

My phone does not support WIFI 5GHZ I was thinking of buying a simple smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi) that supports DUAL BAND 802.11 A/B to receive video from the drone (L900 PRO), , now I am thinking of changing my mind, and purchasing the receiver you showed in the video, I would love to hear your opinion, Will it transmit the same distance that the phone can receive?

[@vinceywinceyspider]

I bought the eachine . The picture is pretty poor.

[@Cameron.....]

Is there no app that can use the phone to tune in to the camera directly instead of buying another Wi-Fi receiver? My phone is dual band.

Hello. Can you help? The camera would not work with my drone plug in as it was a diffrent connector so I wired the camera stright in to the battery of the drone via live and ground the battery is quite powerful. When I turn the drone on I get a full clear video feed on my phone for 1-2 seconds and it all works perfect.... then it cuts out. The camera is also rather warm. I dont know what I'm doing wrong and would be grateful if anyone could help me out. Thank you. The drone I have is drocon bugs 3
