Pete B Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It's on the page here, SC. Items can be returned to any of the regional warehouses once you've waded through the RMA procedure. Having said that, I suspect things are creaking under the website changes at present. I went through the none-too-simple RMA procedure for two incorrect items from the EU warehouse back on 2/12 and they haven't moved beyond the 'Awaiting initial evaluation' stage yet....

Spice Cat Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Cheers Pete. I may take a chance then and order my goggles from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bowker Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 At least the Hobbyking UK warehouse has Gary (formerly of Galaxy Models) working for them in the office. I'm sure with his experience things should go relatively smoothly for us here in Blighty. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spice Cat Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Have taken the plunge for real. Ordered the dominator v2 goggles with immersion rc tx. Looking to buy the additional antennas. Which would be recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bowker Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 FatShark work closely with ImmersionRC, so I purchased their circular polarised 'cloverleaf' antennae. I like the fact that they are somewhat protected against the odd knock and hopefully been subjected to highter QC, post manufacture (in comparison to what I've seen on eBay). Details here I also picked up a pair of these 90 degree SMA connectors too, to save having to bend the anntenna wire into a vertical position. You can pick up a lot of FPV related info watching FliteTest, Team Black Sheep and David Windestål on YouTube. They have been into this area of the hobby for a relatively long time now.

Alan J Roberts 1 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Posted by Josip Vrandecic -Mes on 02/12/2014 09:52:35: Hello Allan , Please tell me why only minus lens(myopia) in the box. I use for reading +2 lens(farsighted), so I wonder if can I put a plus lens on the Fatshark? Thanks in advance Jo I have Fatshark predators, dominators V2 and dominators HD I find it much clearer if I take the glass out of a cheap pair of +2 glasses and tape them inside the goggles. I don't seem to need them with the Dominator HD's for some strange reason, but on the others its much better for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hello Alan J Roberts 1 , crossed my mind but, I have not bought yet .Now after your and Eamonn experience, I know that it is possible , so thank you very much to both... indeed.

Spice Cat Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 goggles, transmitter and receiver arrived today some vote of confidence for DHL. Problem is my mobius did not come with a cable. Is it ok to use a standard usb cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan J Roberts 1 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yes you can use any cable that will fit to charge it.If you want video out you could go to eBay and get a video out cable for a goproThose work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spice Cat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have the opportunity to have an extended break in France. Luckily for me there will be room for the odd model and my fpv goggles. I am also going to invest in another video tx with a bit more power, 600mw,and have been looking at other than immersion rc tx. I have seen a Boscam Fx718-6 but I don't know if it will work with my Fat Shark Dominator goggles. Your thoughts please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 AFAIK, SC, FPV is a lot more heavily regulated than in the UK. Video Tx power is limited to 25mW, so that may present a problem. in addition, from what i can find, you must have a dual-control setup when flying FPV - an observer standing by you is not enough. I haven't done it and know no-one who has, so it may be worth Googling for a bit more info... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spice Cat Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Cheers Pete. I have done the fpv range calculator and the results aren't encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Olsen 1 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I recently bought one of the Hobbyking Quanum kits as referred to by others above. I've installed the camera and video transmitter in a Dynam Hawksky, a powered glider a bit like the Bixler. It has been flown a couple of times, so far only using the FPV as a spectator. Seems pretty usable to me, and excellent for the money. I'm waiting until I have a second (control) transmitter available before I try controlling it while on FPV. I want to have the observer as another pilot with a buddy box so he can take over if I get a bit lost, at least for the first few flights. The range seems to be about what they claim. I did have one minor problem to start with, there was a bad solder joint on the lead for the video receiver, which caused it to intermittently stop working. Found that before it went in the air.
