If you're trying to do FPV on a budget then I think it would be very hard to go past this camera/transmitter combo I picked up from RCTimer for just over $26.
The camera is a CMOS variety but demonstrates pretty good resolution and acceptable light-handling characteristics. The 5.8GHz video transmitter performs well and even offers a 5V regulated power feed for the 5V camera.
All in all, I'm quite impressed with what you get for your money and although the camera lacks the CCD-based Sony 600TVL's wide dynamic range it is still quite impressive for the price.
Pro's:
- undeniable value for money
- 32 channel video transmitter
- easy channel-change
- built in 5V regulator
- lightweight (22 grams)
- wide voltage range 2S to 5S
Con's:
- CMOS camera susceptible to jello if vibes present
- no wide-dynamic range or other controls for camera
- camera has no mounting facilities (hot glue works though)
I purchased my review unit at full price from:
www.rctimer.com...

The RC Timer VTX/camera has a great picture for the money and weight... quite surprising. Your setup next to another VTX operating was a real test. And it did well with the stock antenna to boot. Great setup for a combat wing where you don't want to ruin your good equipment. You may have found another classic winner here.

Awesome little combo, I've been using mine for weeks now and for the price I couldn't be happier! Just beware that RCTimer do send RP-SMA versions also - I bought two of these a month or so ago and they both arrived as RP-SMA even though they assured me by email they were SMA... Luckily I had a few spare SMA PCB connectors so I swapped them over.

The camera and transmitter is also available on Banggood under the brand EACHINE. The brilliant little transmitter is also available as a separate item at a very attractive price. I really appreciate the button /LED configuration replacing dip-switches.

I've had one of these for a little while now. Sits on a $12 corflute wing. Value for money you can't beat it. Reliable so far too ! Will say if you use the Y lead it the wire gauge is pretty low and it will run low amps and get the cables get warm if you try and push it.

I've just purchased a very similar package from the UK warehouse of Banggood, 17GBP including shipping. The camera supplied is the same spec but the form factor is that of a traditional board camera. Initial testing is very positive. My intention is to fit it, and the transmitter, into the canopy of my Phoenix2000 sailplane. Thank you for yet another great RCmodelreview, Bruce. Regards Nidge

Hi Glen. Yes that's the one. I was half expecting the construction of the vTX to have been done by a left footed chimpanzee but the quality of the soldering is very good. So far I've only bench tested the combo by placing the setup on my window sill and wondering around the house with a monitor but the signal was solid even on the supplied sleeved dipole antenna. The package is ideal for planes with small fuselages such as my Phoenix 2000. I intend to purchase some more units to fit to my other planes and one to my large Hexacopter so I can switch between the gimballed camera and dedicated flight camera. Regards Nidge

Yep I ordered that EACHINE combination from Banggood and was impressed by de camera but the VTX was rubbish. It has a heat issue or something because after a few minutes the image start to flicker more and more and then it drops out for a few seconds (probably the last thing you want to happen when you're flying FPV). Especially on a 4s setup but now also on a 3s setup. Maybe i got a dud but needless to say that i'm not gonna fly with that thing any more.

+glenn ford. When you order make sure you order from the EU/UK warehouse otherwise you'll be waiting for ever and a day for delivery, from the UK warehouse delivery was two days.. TF: I too was concerned about possible heat issues. I soak tested mine by powering it for 30 mins, there was the expected heat from the heatsink but I didn't experience any video issues. These devices are banged out with little or no quality control, probably explains the price, and it's inevitable that performance, or lack of, will vary from unit to unit. In the past I've ordered two identical pieces of cooks equipment from Chinese manufacturers and one unit was missing the very important band pass filter on the output. Regards Nidge

Hi Bruce, I have bought very similar cameras from Banggood which seem to have the exact same transmitter, although one is labelled ET200 and one LT200. The camera angle is less on the Eachine models from Banggood. Rounding the price gives RCTimer the win, $29 aud Vs $34 aud, $27 aud Vs $32 aud delivered. I have bought from both companies and the delivery time to Australia can take a long time, although Banggod justs pips RCTimer to the post. From the specs of both set-ups I'd say there a factory in China pumping out these and will put the names on them if you purchase enough. These a perfect for the people who crash in to things like me. :-)

Eddie Foy, the Sony CCD was much more stable in terms of visibility, the other camera had sudden spikes in light and dark. If you are using a fast model for racing, those half second adjustments make the difference between a well taken turn or a crash. But of course, for this price, it's all ok I guess.

Picked up one of these kits after watching this review. Picture quality isn't great, but in terms of general clarity alone it beats out my FatShark Pilot HD cam and is perfectly service for piloting without wanting things to look pretty. VTX was smaller than I expected and doesn't put out much heat. Note that it only outputs 4.2V to power cameras though - not quite 5VDC.

Any chance you will ever review a hex like the blackout mini spider or the RCTimer Argonaut? Seeing as the mini hex market is starting to take off. Keep up the good work and don't let the man keep you grounded.

Bruce, FYI this transmitter outputs 4.1v which isn't enough to power the PZ0420m. I am speaking from experience. I purchased this setup from Banggood and I replaced the camera because although it works OK in perfect conditions, once you push it (sunset or through a forest) the cameras WDR does not work well.
@xjet
@xjet 9 жыл бұрын
megajig This camera doesn't have WDR (which is probably why it doesn't work too well) :-). The reality is that if you're going to be pushing things hard with proximity flying, it really does pay to fork out the extra $ and get a very good camera but for beginners -- who may spend most of their time flying over flat terrain with reasonable lighting, this camera will work just fine.
@megajig
@megajig 9 жыл бұрын
I totally agree Bruce, which is why I started with this setup and now that I am fully hooked, I am looking to upgrade the the VTX (I already bought the PZ0420m). I am getting some lines in my video on the current setup which is most likely from a dirty power supply. I will be building a LC power filter to see if that helps. If not there are many new small 600mw 5.8 setups out there now. Should go great with my new Headplay HDs that I have preordered (batch 1).

+xjet Yeah, I guess the rules part 101 apply, regarding shielded operation: "Shielded operation means an operation of an aircraft within 100 m of, and below the top of, a natural or man-made object." which over-rides the other rules such as night flying/max altitude/proximity to an airfield; if my understanding of the rules is correct, which it very well may not be. Have you done any videos running through the 101 rule in NZ? If not, that could be an interesting topic. Cheers!

Another thing: I have some micro transmitters too (Aomway 200mw) and I find it quite odd that the SMA connectors (from both the transmitter and antenna) weigh more than the transmitter itself. I'm thinking about replacing the SMA plugs with MCX as those are much lighter. I haven't seen others doing that yet. MCX does have the possible disadvantage that the antenna connector can pivot in the plug.

If i fly in the evening with it, the exposure pulses wildly when i fly at certain angles away from the setting sun. It can get rather annoying, but for $30, i can almost overlook it. ;) Did this "exposure pulsing" happen to you at any point? Not sure if it's fixable.

It seems that this transmitter (like several others) needs to be mounted with the heatsink pressed against a flat surface (usually composite) in order to change channels. I wonder if this is detrimental to it's heat sinking capacity. Especially for transmitters in the 600mw range.

Bruce, do/have you ever incorporated the diversity board that you built into any of the camera and receiver cobos that you review? Also, I know it's an old subject and build; but, how about your FPV backpack? I started to build one of your backpacks following your video instructions; but, your KZbin videos for the build seem to fizzle out into nothing and there didn't seem to be a clear ending for the build, like there was with your low cost miniquad build, so I gave up on building one of your FPV backpack long ago. My guess is that the cameras and receivers have come up to par in performance and lower in cost to where it's now a waste of time to try to build your own backpack or diversity board, just go buy a decent on and be done with it; kind of like it was with the start of the home computers. Thanks in advance

I wish you had tried it on the AXN as I did, in fact several planes. On your quad the camera was seeing mostly grass which is good. On an airplane it was seeing 1/2 sky and whenever the camera saw the sun or even bright clouds the picture went very dark, very dark. To dark to fly with. I pointed the camera down drastically and it helped but again un flyable! I retrofitted the TX with a Small RunCam camera and problem completely solved because it has WDR. For a quad ok for a plane beware...

Dokdirt I had one and broke 6 arms in a month. Very weak arms. Frustrating. Prefer the ZMR250 and it's half the price

Dokdirt I have smashed mine hard many times so far and have only broken props. Loving this little cheap quad, great start to find out how much you love flying quads and fpv. The full carbon frame is tough for sure, Would like a little bigger motor mount on the arms but for flying fpv for cheap I am okay with the frame, Gino, did you have the fiberglass or carbon frame?

Ollie Williams I had the full carbon frame. Minor crashes into grass snapped the arms on more than one occasion. It's okay for cheap, but again, the ZMR is half the price and I've dropped that thing from 80 ft. up into concrete without breaking anything

Great presentation of a low cost entry into fpv. What do you suggest for a low cost receiver to try out fpv?

So Bruce, if I wanted to use this video tx with the Sony board cam (low cost miniquad #5) I need to pull 12 volts from the power distribution board. Now to power the video tx 12 bolts from the power distribution board or 5 volts from the Naze32?

I ended up taking power (12 volts) from the Power Distribution Board to the Elgae VTx Harness. I powered my Sony voard cam (Low Cost Mini Quad #5) from the 12 volt from the PDB to the VTx.

The mxp in this vid is far diffrent than the mxp in the review. It has different motors, escs, Different color naze, Different camera, Different battery strap and the zip-ties that held the battery connecter are now green. I think this is the high end build. Tell me if anyone agrees. Or maybe Bruce built another mxp.

olaf hichwa Yes, this is another MXP230 -- this one has the 6mm thick carbon arms (and yes, I do need them) :-)

Sony variants is about the same price so why not get the better looking. Built-in transmitter is a plus.

Awesome review! What about the 160 degree camera? You had mentioned it but no video on it or is this another video?

I don't like how it does the light adjustment. Reminds me of my Spektrum/Fat Shark micro camera-transmitter from Horizon Hobby only my camera does it much worse. I like how the Sony stays at the same light level.

So is this Tx/Rx combo better than the one that was suggested to pair up with the low cost quad build? I also see that they have put this video on their website for the camera... or was that done by Bruce?
