I'm a little disappointed that only the cheapest, lowest-resolution FatShark FPV system also has a built-in recording capability. Jump up another $90 bucks and get better resolution, but lose the SD card slot.

 

Sigh.

I wonder if they use the same processor in both models. Perhaps it is not fast enough to do the higher resolution and store the video at the same time.

What goggles are you looking at Michael Heinz?? I thought that the Dominators v2 and Dominator HD were the only FatShark goggles that had a built in DVR. I have a pair of Dominator v2's and love them!

They make a whole line, John - starting with the Teleporter and ending with the Dominator. EDIT: Corrected link: http://www.fatshark.com/App_Theme/default_theme_980/images/default_images/Comparison.png

Michael Heinz?. Now I understand your statement. The dvr camera that comes with the creeper goggle set is a lower quality /resolution. The more expensive goggle set (attitudes) has a better quality camera and goggles(image quality and image size).

 

Like Wayne Hobbins? said, most people are recording their flight with a mobius ($85us) or one of the gopro's cameras. I would recommend not getting an fpv set up yet. Get a mobius camera and prefect your flying first. You can always and a fpv setup later. I would recommend using a two camera set up anyways(dedicated fpv camera and a mobius for flight recording.

 

Good luck.

Wayne Hobbins - yeah, combining the recording and fpv into a single camera would be ideal for weight and quality, - recording in the camera will let you record in HD - but I have to assume there's a problem doing that; it's probably laggy.

 

I saw references to people using the Mobius as an FPV camera by wiring it to a transmitter. Might be a way to save money.

John Russcher  - the camera does 720p, it's the headset that's only QVGA, but I have to guess there are reasons why they don't offer the same camera with better headsets.
