Derek's New 1.3ghz/5.8ghz Portable Ground Station

Post by Derek »

For a long time, I've been wanting a nice case that will hold ALL my fpv gear. Yes, it's a bit bulky but that's the price that I'm willing to pay to have what I want.

I'll let the video show off the ground station. If you have any questions or suggestions,

I showed this setup with the 1.3ghz video being sent through the 5.8ghz repeater. I can also just use the 5.8ghz without setting up the 1.3 stuff.

I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks Paul! It's works very well! It's a bit bulky but it's been great for spectators. I've even had a few flights when I was just watching the monitor instead of wearing the goggles.
