Presenting my DIY Video receiving station for FPV flights.
I choose a Pelican 1200 because it fits a 7 inch monitor perfectly and with space available for a 2S 5000mah Lipo. Its pretty portable too!
To mount the 7 inch Monitor, i designed and print a "3D printed" mounting plate for the video monitor + 5.8 Receiver + wires. The whole system is then mounted with 3M double sided tape on to the top lid of the pelican box. The voltage meter tells me how much juice is available for both the receiver and monitor. A on/off switch is utilized in this set up because i won't be connecting/disconnecting it all the time but only when i recharge the battery. Overall, its a pretty neat set up and as long as the battery has enough juice (more than 6.4v and thats because i don't want to stress 2S lipo), its just a simple 2 step operation, open the Pelican box, switch on the power and it will power up the video station with no fuss.
With shade attached.
Perfect space for the shade to fit in after use.
