900MHZ 200mW Tx/Rx & 1/3-inch CCD Camera PAL 520TVL
12 Channel 900Mhz Tx/Rx video system with CCD camera. Great for FPV systems in countries with less restrictive RF power output.
Unlike other generic systems, we have produced a wiring loom and included it with the camera so that the Tx and camera will be compatible and on the same voltage. If you buy your camera and Tx seperately the plug polarity and voltages may be very different.
Included. 1 x SONY CCD 1/3inch Camera 1 x 900Mhz 4 channel Video Transmitter (200mW)
1 x 900Mhz 12 channel Video Receiver

900MHz analogue video transmitters are only legal to operate in Australia to a maximum power rating of 3mW, unless it is of a digital modulation.
!.2 is out altogether in Ozz
However you can use 5.8 up to 2w or 2.4 up to 1 watt .
So 5.8 is the go in Australia .
Just been doing some new research and it seems that even being able to use 5.8 or 2.4 for video is only due to a small loophole in the law , atm the interpretation is that we can use 2.4 and 5.8 for "Telementry" purposes only. The ACMA is drafting legislation as we speak to clarify "Telementry" use to exlude Video and software transmissions. Once that happens there will be no more FPV within Australia . Sad but the truth is the Govt does not want the general public flying FPV :(
No, its right in the middle of the mobile phone bands.
If you do use it you will get tons of distortion anywhere near a gsm tower.
I found out the hard way!

kanga, from what i've read on the acma web site it's still a grey area 5.8GHz is usable in australia for "telecommand" or "telemetry" which some people have interpreted as FPV video from an RC model... As far as i know though except for anecdotal reports i haven't seen any proof in writing that we can wave at the inspector when he turns up. I really want someone to prove me wrong though!
You are certainly Correct DarrenMc , its is very much open for interpretation the laws are full of holes and pitfalls,
I think the trick is to keep it low power so as not to cause any trouble , or interference to any one .

What do the different Power levels indicate?
And a lot of people prefer 200mV,what would happen if I got for 100mV or 800mV?
Does the mV affect range or clarity or what?
mW is the power level of the video transmitter. the higher the power the heavier, the bigger, and the hotter the TX will be. It does effect range but not by a lot. (I don't know the formula but as far as I remember 4 times the power will result in 2 times the range or so)
Also the more powerful your TX is the higher chance there is of it interfering with your radio reciever. The best choice would be 200 mW because it has a low chance of interfering and is high enough for loads of fun.
I have got the order and when i connected properly i got the video on my tv screen but the picture is not constantly showing up ,its blinking and having some disturbance...i have tried all the channels on Tx and Rx but no use...whats the problem ? How can I rectify it?
where can i buy a connecter so i can connect the battery
to the transmitter??? what should be the specifications of the battery to be used with the transmitter???
maybe you are in europe and you are close to a GSM cellphone station? 900MHz is what they use.
Have you checked all possible channels offered by this equipment?

Overall picture quality is quite good, this is my first ever FPV combo but if you count the the price for single 520tvl camera it is half of the price of this combo, what more should we discuss? :)
The Receiver requires a 3s lipo altough the required cable is not included.
I would seriously consider if this is the right setup for you. Alot of people that have ordered this perticular product got a faulty item delivered and had to return for a refund, myself included. Also depends on if the frequency is legal to use in your country. I would seriously recommend the 5.8ghz set. Thats what i use here in the UK plus i've not heard of any that havent worked on arrival like the 900.
Hope that help
About 100mw lol. sorry couldnt resist.
More mW can give you further range but can cause other interference the higher the mw. To be honest most people seam to be using the 5.8ghz. much more reliable. plus me and a friend ordered this one and neither of ours worked. For increased range made a new antenna instead of more mW. look at cloverleaf antennas. if that helps credit would be nice *)
Hi, I wouldnt say they are all bad quality. I'm sure there are some customers that have had no problems at all. In mine and my friends experience though we where not so lucky i guess. Remember, alot of products from Hobbyking are not made by them directly so i would imagine quality control is something hard to monitor. Plus alot of the time your order is shipped directly from the manufacturer i believe and never goes through Hobbykings hands, so to speak. *) You'll also find that their 5.8 system is the exact same that other sites will try and charge you more for! They are all made in the same factory unless otherwise stated with a perticular brand name.
Best of luck peeps.
The most common device that people seem to be using, myself included is an easycap. If you search that famous auction site you should find a cheap one which is the same one shops will charge four times as much for. You can get high end HD recorders but they normally start at around £*150 hauppauge being one of them. With the hauppauge though you can also record your playstation or xbox footage as well though.
hey guys, i am new in FPV and i wanted to know what to buy -900MHz or 5.8GHz and i want the one that give me the most amount of range and i don't want to buy 2.4 g because i TX running in that frequency....
900MHz and 1.3GHz
Less influenced by obstacles due to lower frequency
much less “crowded” frequency
Works with 2.4GHz RC transmitters
- can interfere with GPS signal
- hard to find antennas
- not that many transmitters/recievers to choose from
5.8GHz
Easy to find a wide variety of antennas
Doesn’t interfere with GPS as much
Works with 2.4GHz RC transmitters
- Even more influenced by obstacles
- More “crowded” frequency
- not that many transmitters/recievers to choose from
Also you
Hey guys, I'm new to RC and FPV, I ordered this kit, but now realize I need a battery, and the camera mount. I am installing this on a lotusRC t380.
What battery is recommended?
For the camera mount what servos should I order?
The battery you will need for the Tx is a 3cell, i used 500mah. The Receiver needs a 12v power supply or make up a lead to use a 3cell lipo. positive polarity is in the centre of the socket (tx charging type socket, not sure of the correct name)
The mount you can order on here or as most people seam to do, wrap the camera in soft foam with cable ties or rubber bands, especially on a car as it will reduce vibration.
Hope that helps, if so credit me pls. *)
Not getting signal on any channel is usually a bad sign, but yes try changing the switches on the tx as well. If you are in the US you should use channel 0 on the rx, and channel 1 on the tx. If you are not in the US I don't know which channels you should use. Also make sure that everything is plugged in properly, both antenas and all the wires etc. When you are flying make sure that all the antenas are pointing up for maximum signal strength.
I received my order today. For some reason i do not seem to have any picture? I plugged the receiver in as i saw on the video. It says channel 3 and the transmitter swithes are all in the downward position in which they came. When powering up the transmitter the fuzzy white noise stops as if it is receiving the signal, but as i say there is no picture (i have taken the cap off). I'm not sure which configurations i can try as there are no instructions so if you can please assist me and let me know how i can rectify this problem asap, i would greatly appreciate it.
It says 12Ch RX. I would be interested in the Channel Frequencys, does anybody actually know them? or is there any spec.? would be interesting if compatible to rangvideo 900MHz/1.3GHz systems their 12CH RX use following CHannel frequencys:
910,980,1010,1040,1080,1120,1160,1200,12 40,1280,1320,1360 MHz
thanks in advance for your help!
Received the parts today.
Connecting it was easy, I just had to find a 12V power supply ( is center of the plug) to connect to the receiver.
I tested it this evening, connected it to my TV.
The picture is really perfect, though the camera needs a bit of light to achieve that. But this will most certainly not be any problem during flying in the daytime.
Can't say anything yet about range, that will take some time (don't have a plane for this yet and the Fatshark Base Goggles have been ordered only yesterday, also from HK).
Really great value for this price!
Just ordered from HK will report how it goes i am going to try in my stryker

Watch for polarity as this transmitter as no reverse polarity protection, and will blow up as soon as you apply power incorrectly! Not sure how it really works...I blew up 2 of them :/
