Any expert in low flying fpv? I am planning to pilot my craft in the woods.

Depending on how dense the trees are, you might have to select the lower frequencies for your video gear. And depending on your choice of video frequency, you might have to adjust your control gear/frequency as well. Since you'd be flying between trees, use 3.6mm lens or longer for your FPV cam so you'd get a clearer (although narrower) view of where your craft is heading. Longer focal lengths also helps making sense of depth judgment easier. If you are doing fast forward flying between trees, you may have to fly in manual mode to get the nimbleness and precise control needed to maneuver your craft, most self-level/attitude/stabilized mode of the different FCs are much slower in responsiveness compared to their manual modes. Also consider having faster RPMs with shorter props on 4S than longer blades on 3S. The craft would be much more responsive on throttle changes, along with having SimonK-flashed ESCs. -

I have no plan to invest in expensive gears such as expensive gopro, motors or whatever. would be using low end cheap motors, low quality gear to achieve low flying fpv.
However. I am prepare to spend time practising with t9x tx.Comment

Then I propose the name of the thread should be Cheap Low End fpv for low level flight: Any Expert in cheap low end low flying fpv?Originally posted by wengwah View Post

The setups in the videos are simply too expensive! Graupner props? GroPro3? 4S power? Spektrum? TBS? OMG!
Bro, do suggest something cheaper, preferably low end and cheap... and requires tinkering with the t9x...Hanger

Why not, you can certainly try it out. The full FPV gear (fpv cam, 5.8g video tx + antenna, 300-500mAh 3S lipo) should add around 120g, so figure that in with your heli's thrust/weight ratio. Next thing you need to consider is how to place these on your heli, while keeping your CG right and the antenna clear.Originally posted by alexsim View PostComment

Hahaha, those videos were meant to show the agility of these quads when properly set up and in the hands of good pilots. But yes, they got premium gear. Assuming the flights are not done in Singapore (be legal!), here's a possible "cheap" build list for key FPV components for low-altitude, through-the-trees flights:Originally posted by elmosan View Post
-OrangeRx OpenLRS Tx with Receiver ($50) - the Turnigy 9x can be modded to have this module. Flash with OpenLRSng and modify the base frequency/hop list/channel spacing as necessary. See a good test here on it's stock performance. This is a clone of the Flytron OpenLRS, which is a bit more expensive, but still less expensive than the rest of the other long-range systems. This will allow the pilot to have good control behind trees and other obstacles. Replace the stock antennas with Nagoya ones ($17).
-Any of the 1.3G or 2.3/2.4G Vtx/Vrx should work, although the 1.3G would be better penetrate the trees and other objects. Most of these VTx-VRx pairs are less than $100 in Hobbyking, ReadyMadeRC, FoxTechFPV, and other sites. Add CPL antennas, or go cheap and build a pair, and you're good to go.
-FPV cameras are cheap in HK (starts at $17). Add a $4 pan-tilt mount, and a $4 micro-servo for the optional capability to pitch the cam.
Make your own wood frame, use the awesome KK2 FC (with 1.6 firmware), cheap motors, ESCs (SimonK-flashed, of course), and props. All set.Comment
