- I show how to connect a video received to view on your smartphone!
please note if you are wanting to use an easycap device to do the same, easy cap has a dedicated app on the play store that might be more suited than this method. theres also a lot of cheap easy cap clones out there that wont work on android!
would be interested what the true latency is - you can just use a stopwatch and face the camera towards it and use another camera to see the difference between the screen and watch...
I've been watching your channel for a few months now and I watch everything you put out. I have to say, I really like your current intro. I guess I never noticed that you didn't always have the intro. Very professional look. Keep it up, you are my favorite channel.
I solved the Google Cardboard setup. It requires a PC in the setup but works very well and gives a latency free fpv in simulated 3D. It's pretty awesome. So you connect you Laser BGC receiver (or whatever capture device you choose) to the PC instead of directly to the phone. Then there is an $8 app called Trinus VR, originally designed to stream PC first person games to your phone to play with Google cardboard. It sends a fully adjustable side by side image to your phone (I'm using a Galaxy Note 4), via USB tethering which is latency free. It even sends head tracking data as controller data back to the PC at the same time. One can easily use this data to control a servo gimble, and again it's latency free. Enjoy!
Nice, tnx 😃
+Miguel Goncalves u think this is better then easycap clones?
Mooria Devil No better or worse the capture device is inconsequential. The tricky part is getting a live stream, in side-by-side 3D, into the cell phone for use with a VR headset. I'm sure by now someone has come up with something better by now. I hope at least...
Mooria Devil That said, the Laser BGC is pupose built for FPV so it is probably better.
the most fitting use of the airplane mode in the history
Anyone with reasonable soldering skills could make one of these as all you need do is get a cheap Easycap dongle, remove the A/V wires then solder the output from 5.8G receiver to those inputs and the power input to the USB power input.
Dude remember this vid from back in the day! Ya chanel grew massive since then! Well done!
The Quanum V2 pro actually includes a pouch to add your phone in as the screen. Its a good idea using blue tooth.
hello Andy. I need your help. I recently bought a video mixer called Rolland v1HD . I would love it to be able to use my Android to record it video from the Rolland video mixer.
Had that idea for a while, that is just excellent! I dont need to spend a load of money on a Fatshark.
Great Video!
pplatinumss great thanks for watching :)
number one is the usb device you put on the back of your phone available ? Number two hod did you get so smart your knowledge is awesome. Take Care
Just brought and easycap, or easiercap as its called, cost £6 off ebay, using the easy cap viewer, it works a treat on my galaxy s4. Can now record inflight video from my fpv screen.
peter Roberts good to hear:-)
Im looking to control drone with analog but utilize the camera through phone.
For fucksake finally someone gets it
Jake Rutkowski hey this should be an easy solution and require to replace original drone camera with one the phone can connect to but share no relationship with drone aprt from the fact it is attached, need to buff up radio system to reduce latency
I think this is the better solution because it will reduce computational power needed to process images and allows the drone to focus only on flying. All is needed is long range (bluetooth?) camera (maybe gopro) and long range antenna on controller and drone.
From this to HD fpv. Time flies.
One thing i notice about some recording apps. it will appear laggy before pressing record. after recording, the lag will go away.
It doesn't matter if you have an HD screen. The video transmission is an analog low-res video feed. It takes some beefy hardware to get hd transmission. The amount of data being transferred over a radio signal is huge
although it could record in hd if you have that capability
Christopher Barron yep this is correct, also mentioned in the video
hello, You can put the link of the product? Thank you!
Kinda late, but take a look at Eachine ROTG01. I have ordered two from BanGood. People have been giving good reviewes for it.
@@eshneto thanks for the info
dunno if it has been commented or not, but your "usb size inverter" is called an otg cable.
Thanks Andy for demonstrating this. I have wanted to feed video into my Mobile Android devices but ran into issues as my attempted solutions were overly complicated. This is a great KISS solution. I have used an EZCap device to take video from my goggles and overlay it on the HUD display of the APM Mission Planner on the PC. There is an experimental version on the Droid Planner software so I'll try this later today with an OTG adaptor.
A great video for a wet and windy Sunday Morning.
Regards
Nidge
So the mission planner has a video in option from a USB device? This is for amp flight controller?
@AndyClayton
I've used this feature on the PC version of Mission Planner. The software takes the video in from a USB device and then displays it in the HUD window with the virtual horizon and telemetry data overlaid. On the Android version, Droid Planner, there is an option to do something similar though I have yet to try this. When you select this option it warns you that it is experimental and to proceed at your own risk.
Regards
Nidge
sputniksam gonna try this out thanks!
ill take your dominators off your hands
i really hope the hd fpv gear gets smaller and cheaper soon, standard def is fairly limiting in many ways. an hd view would be stellar when racing :)
Flyingwigs its not just about resolution with these current fpv systems either, its pixel density. I find watching 640x480 much more pleasing on a 1080p screen than it is through fatshark goggles
yeah, i haven't tried sd on an hd screen before, so i'm unaware of the difference when i'm flying. its just convenient having an all-in-one screen/rx/dvr unit, though it ran me about $140 :P
hi im using USV5.8G as receiver and TS832 as transmitter all works okay with FPV viewer App. However I can scan the signal but no spectrum is appearing and the picture is not showing as well. please advise
This is totally GREAT. It verifies my common sense. I have a pair of Fat Shark Dominator V2 Goggles and they kind of...suck. The resolution is miserable, the optics are plastic. It's a joke. Our phone monitors have incredible, tremendous versatility, but I wasn't sure what the options were for getting from a video receiver to phone were.. This is a NATURAL. Your video is the first thing I came across in my "research" and is a great intro. LOL What cracks me up, is that with regular 2D goggles, it kind of seems like you could slide your phone into a little box, with the sole purpose being putting the phone in front of your face, having a comfortable fit on the face side, and keeping out the light.
I know there are fancy 3D apps. for phones, and some dedicated Goggles, and while I haven't tried it, people should remember that our eyes are only a few inches apart, and the "3D" effect from our binocular vision is basically gone over a few yards. So going to a lot of trouble to have two cameras several inches apart on a drone, might be neat while maneuvering near close objects, in any kind of panoramic setting you won't notice. You are the greatest, this was great.
+gedgar2000 i agree thanks for your support
hobbyking sells a good pair of foam black diy goggles they come with a screen for $26 it would fit this phone i think.
***** they are the quanam goggles, if you look at my fatshark dominator video I compare them to the fatsharks. all best
Will you please provide a link to the app you used in this video demonstration? Thanks.
so samsung has their VR headset out ;) hopefully i can make this work with my phone! Amazing vid!
Nice video and thanks for sharing. A google cardboard can come in really handy for this ^^.
hi guys! i have a traxxas slash vxl 2wd and know a little bit about rc short course. i do not, however, know anything at all about rc planes, drones, or fpv. all i really want is something cheap i can connect to my phone (samsung j6) and can attach to my traxxas reciever (maybe?) any advice/help you guys have would be super appreciated. thanks!
Now its 2023 - What about Phone Camera to seperate phone/tablet screen over 4G LTE ?
Put links on description, about transmitter, receiver...
fuck off
Excellent demo and flying. Thanks
Hi Andy I live in Portsmouth I own a hubsan h501s-s drone with a standard transmitter. I have a problem with the headless fuction I can turn it on and it shows it’s on in monitor but it doesn’t seem to turn off when I press the throttle button. The follow me works great and shows in monitor when it’s on and off. Any idea regards Jim
Dude, Thank you! You are the real mvp!
im looking for one of these but are hard to find. would you sell yours if youre not using it anymore?
The small conector is USB Type B Micro. The big one is USB Type A.
+Luke-Antra where did you get that profile pic? my friend made that
Double You ugh, i have no idea.
I have been using it for so long now.
I think i randomly picked it from pictures that i had on my phone at some point.
Double You Though, i have to say.
its a quite nice piece of artwork.
Each FPV plane had its own application for control of these planes or Heli but compatibility of your smartphone and the application remains to be tested.
how much latency?
Hi Andy. I found the site but the link is broken and I cannot order or contact them. Is there another place to buy? Thanks
Nice Video. I now wish someone would make a Google Cardboard app using that for video source would be great, and beat the Fat Sharks FOV IMHO lol
Also it is called an OTG Cable
pizatric1st Baldy Tron I agree, thats what im hoping someone will do after seeing this video! lol
pizatric1st I've been working on this with the WiFi backup camera items and now this too. The issue is none of the makers of these devices provide APIs or SDKs for writing code to grab from these devices. I've spent months trying to correctly access the video streams so I can use them in my own applications.
I need to now all components you used to get every thing. I was thinking about using a google Stick with a Video display Goggles but I need to know what kind of camera you are using and the recover that go's with it. Thanks
My email is Christman28@centuurylink.net
I have a couple questions, my use won't be for FPV like you using, but in a different sense (for NV goggles)
I have a 1/3" CCD camera, (or maybe i could use 2!?). my idea is to get the signal to the phone, but currently I do not have any way of doing that, as its a standard composite video cable from the camera.
what would be the easiest/cheapest method to getting the video signal to the phone? I can deal with wires, but a wireless solution would be optimal, because I may mount the cameras to a scope on a rifle.
i guess a sweet ass setup would be 2 cameras, 1 mounted to the goggles, 1 mounted to the rifle, with a hot-swap option? I don't need range, I need quality of video signal over everything else, and as small as a setup as possible.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4.
also, if using the Google Cardboard goggles, is there a way to get the phone to split-screen the video image? or does it do it automatically? i'm unsure on wether or not the split screen would be better with google glass, or i'd be better off using the screens full pixel area. like i said, i'll be using this for night vision, by using a high quality E700 sony CCD camera with the IR filter removed.
Munky332 buy a usb otg cable and see if any of the webcams worth with the S4 I know easy cap isnt supported on the S4
hi sir, i learn so many things from you.. i play rc quad for a month now.. i just want to ask about the mini quad you are using in this video cuz it seem that it is very to control and l like it and want to have it. and also the controller? pls..
Have you ever found one of these online to buy? What is it called?
What happened to that gizmo? It seems like a good idea.
This is great how long till someone creates a dedicated fpv app
I, ve thought of doing the same way and connect the phone using wifi video trasmitter used rof back car camera but i think its more stable and not so risky like the wifi with 2,4 ghz(may produce interferrence to 2,4 ghz original quadcopter receiver and trasmitter).Afterr all if you have this you can buy the cheapest (about10$)plastic vr box clone 3 d glasses and you got a complet,fatshkark clone for free using you damnn phone.Arent you ?So its cheap and good so psssttt and do not tell the corporations that scrape of us have the cash from the crap signing it as as a new,and so on.....!!!! Bravo !
+Derrick Sword i have done something similar to this on the channel also :)
That is how to set up the phone but, how to set up the drone (if normal drone without fpv like Syma x8c)
A Zamari search for a video on my channel called "adding FPV" :)
why the mobile more powerful and less expensive....mass production sir.
Hello Im new to anything fpv im going to order the version 2 of the module once they are back in stock but what do you recommend for a camera and the camera transmitter. I have a DIY S500 quad Thanks so much
great video, very informational, well done mon ame...................
+Alan Lydiate thank you for watching :)
my phone lags so bad But the Evo operates on wifi and ATTI Do they make a VFP receiver for that
What kind of drone are you using? I'd like to know what camera specifically
PLease tell me that this LASER BGC starts mass produce or where do I get it ? this module, I fly 1.3 GHZ and I wanted to fly FPV like this for a long time !
jeremybaeyensify I think the only place to get them is laserbgc themselves. at the time this vid came out they came back in stock but i guess they sold out again. you could try mail them when back in stock? cheers
good work :)
what is the model of this 5.8 ghz tx and rx ? and what is the range ? 500 m ?
another thing , the maximun resolution viewed in the phone is 720x480 ?
my camera is sj4000 1080p and 720p hd ( 1280×720 ), viewed on the phone is the same 1280 * 720 or is the maximum of 720*480 ?
the same happens with easycap ? the maximum resolution in the phone is 720x480 even if the resolution in the camera is better ?
thanks
Can i connect the camera of QX95 according to this procedure?
Answer me please! I need this
Good day, where did you find the Laser BCG unit with the antenna? I have the Easy cap and tried using it on my phone with the OTA connector but it wont light up like yours so I reckon I dont have the correct one like you showed with the chip in it, and I dont want to just randomly buy some to try and find that version, so figured the other thing is a better option but cannot find it online.
+InTheFleshInc i buy direct from laserbgc or fpvline, they are quite rare unfortunately :( keep finding you will find one
Andy, Could you please send me the components and the schematic for the FPV,
So basically you can take any FPV system and use easycap and you have an FPV through a phone?
People have been saying that it is not possible to use an Iphone as a FPV screen without using wifi because it does not have any video input hardware, or something of the sort. Do you think that this is possible with an Iphone?
Aubatron iPhone devices do not support USB input for video, that's why you have to use WiFi transmission for them.
Can you put two camera on the for two camera shoot of Ariel view
Dandy Andy Do! How ya be brother?
There are a bunch of awesome little devices like this available nowadays.
I saw the vid name, because I use my cell phone to record the goggle screen or live stream...but that is sub par. Planning on getting an OTG unit for my S8 eventually.
Revisiting this would be super RAD Andy!
See you in the sky!
Michael STONEWULFF Goliboski
What could be the range of this device?
I was thinking the same thing!
Awesome video
Excellent! I wish I had stumbled upon this video and usb receiver before I finished building the HK Quantum system yesterday (my first FPV). I was really amazed by what my OnePlus1 phablet would do with cheap Google Cardboard and really wanted to use it as an FPV but couldn't find any solutions beyond short range laggy wifi via a GoPro or Yi cam. What kind of outdoor range do you get and is there a 5.8 ghz boscam version?
Phrancis5 you get the same range as any other fpv goggles. the quanam is a good choice though u wont go wrong with that
Hi Andy, do you know how to use a Google pixel phone and daydream VR headset to use the freerider FPV app?
cheers
Hi Andy, great videos!
In this video, around min 3:40, you say Wintv is your favorite setup to be used in a computer. Where can I find more info on the product and how would the setup go?
Thanks!
search for hauphaug wintv go :-)

A video receiver is still required, right?
+Oliveronski Oliveronski that's the one yes still required
How much more battery drain do you notice with the devices connected?
Hi mate got it to bits have power to board and off board to switch. then nothing coming off switch
Is there any way to split the image into two, to use the VR goggles?
Interesting,nice demo.
If you have a fpv camera with a mic, can you hear sound through your phone?
Oh man houses in England are depressingly narrow :(
You are confusing a narrow field of view with a narrow house. This video is old and cameras fov was very limited back then.
Where can you buy this?
Do you think it'll work for a samsung Galaxy s tablet?
How did you sink the cammera and the reciever?
Rampage851 it will work as long as the device has usb OTG you can get the receiver from fpvline and laserbgc
Hi, Can you link to the easycap you use? I have 2 but neither work. Probably clones using wrong chipset...
SentamuDT try this one www.aliexpress.com/item/1pc-lot-New-2015-easycap-utv007-USB2-0-Video-Adapter-with-Audio-1-channel-and-2/32294309001.html
can you give me a link for that fpv cam?
Works with a HDMI female to micro usb male adapter?
AndyRC hey bro, I'm wanting to shoot video with my phone and use a tablet as a preview monitor. Would that be possible with this method??? I see that I also need to get hold of a RX and TX aswell. Would I need to get 5.8ghz aswell!??
Someone NEEDS to make an FPV Bluetooth camera that connects directly to your phone. Maybe it's even possible for $50?
Bluetooth doesn't have enough range to do fpv on which is why we mostly have analogue
+aidan cowie Maby a repeater. But I wouldnt trust bluetooth
Great video question will a 5.8ghz work with the laser BGC Modular USB Rx as suppose to the 1.3ghz laser BGC you review with the phone many thanks.
it works with any of the fatshark dominator modules one of those is 5.8
Does this work for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge? I'm new to FPV and have gotten a phantom 2 drone with gimbal holding a hero 3 cam and i have also installed a fatshark 5,8 GHz antenna to transmitt video. I'm looking for something compact and not to expensive and then i thought about this because my phone has a nice screen.
+Zefnoly if the galaxy supports usb OTG then it will work
+Zefnoly Yes it will.
Thanks for sharing! So this is weird.. Im using the EasyCap on a Note 3...
The EasyCap viewer works fine and loads up immediately. I cant seem to get the "UsbWebCam" app or "CameraFi" to detect the camera? Even on my tablet.
Did you do anything special to the phone or change settings to be able to access the camera via the easycap??
Ryan Dritlein not all easy caps devices work as a usb webcam so you are best using the easycap viewer then use azscreen recorder, check the video after this one, it shows you how to do it. and better result than usbwebcam in my opinion as theres no OSD and can change aspect ratio
Andy thanks for the reply! I just viewed your latest video... downloaded the AZ screen recorder. Works great. Thanks for the hard work!
no problem glad it works for you cheers
that's awesome..... keep up the good work!!!
Can you have googles working at the same time
Hey dude , will the USB receiver work on a portable USB input monitor , without the app ? Or do you need a app to use it ........what quad is that by the way .....cool vid bro .
+Franca Coiro it all depends if the monitor supports it. if u plug a usb webcam in and it works then this will
+AndyRC thanks .....so will this work on a Windows 10 PC stick with a web cam app . I have ordered one and am thinking of different uses . I'm just trying to find a Hdmi input plug and play portable monitor , they all have USB input , and would be great to be able to take it out in the field on a nice 16 inch monitor . Cheers
yes it will work on a windows pc / tablet
What do you mean by blue screen?
Hi Andy, thnx again for superb information...
Good goggles prices about 300$ in the world and in my country that price about 500$... but you give a hope for me with this video, thank you, Rodney is right, you are the best... Finally, i want to ask one question. What is this systems range in outside?
+Zgr KSK its the same as any other receiver. very good. dpends on which fatshark module u are using 1.2 will go further than 5.8 thanks for your support
thanks for reply, thank you very much for informations buddy, i'm starting this hobby with your videos, i dont want to buy simple quadcopters for starting, because they are 30-60$ and bad quality. now i'm watching your micro quad video. i guess i will start with that and after promote to your other videos quad. (cheap quad, like f450/f550) and i will be a professional :P
last question please, which one of these transmitters for this plan i must to buy? flysky fs-i6 / devo7 / devo7? or you can tell me another about 80 dolars, because my countrys customs limit 75 euro per/shopping :)
I think If i were to pick again id go with the turnigy 9X is it a lot more moddable than the others
thank you bro', sorry for my english if i make a mistake, best regards...
+Zgr KSK your English is fine :-)
Cool ! I'm a Nexus 5 owner too and I just bought the Walkera 250 Runner. I can't find any LaserBCG 5.8Ghz receiver. The runner 250 uses video transmission in 5.8Ghz.
Do you think there is a way to receive 5.8Ghz on my N5 with OTG cable ? Thanks mate
Maxime de Kettenis yes either use the laserbgc module or easy cap in conjunction with a video receiver (more wires)
AndyRC Ok thanks ! I'll try !
Awesome video! Did you try watching the recorded video using VR cinema with your gcardboard? I found laserbgc's website but they're out of stock. :(
+Kyle Clerico yes infact if you use the easycap device u can fpv with the vr goggles
+Kyle Clerico yes infact if you use the easycap device u can fpv with the vr goggles
what is the range of it?
Can I connect fpv camera direct battery ?
can you send me the link of these accessories like TX and RC
if you don't like your dominators i will take them :)
do my phone/tablet have to have otg
Interesting video, thanks for sharing
What is the receiver thing that he is plugging into the phone. Does it need to have the Goggles or can I run the signal straight to the receiver and into the phone. If so where can I buy it?
+Lovable Luke you get it from laserbgc.com its a video receiver that you need in order to get the video to your phone
+AndyRC I cannot find a 5.8 ghz module on that site can a third party one be used?
u can use the easycap device as well as this one. search on the channel :)
I would love this really can't afford the other goggles..
so if i was to use this set up on my htc one with a xiaomi yi camera, what kind of resolution would i be seeing on my screen, and could i still record in the 1080 while fpv'ing
matt butler resolution woulf be standard dev on your fpv screen 640 by 480 im yet to test this but yes you can record at same time, not sure what the latency would be like though
So since you said that the app automatically detects the resolution of the video signal and will not let you deviate from it, does that mean using a higher megapixel camera will enhance the video resolution coming through to the app?
it depends really because fpv transmittion is always in SD so regardless of the camera it might not look any better
Wish this would work with Boscam goggles!
Fuckin awesome!! Nice discovery Pal. Keep posting and have fun w ur fpv phone. Anyway Fat shark really sucks on their price. They should have alternative lower price on their goggles. Keep posting. Happy flyin!!
bobot021070 I agree thank you cheers
How do you get static and not blue screen?
it would suck to get a phone call in the middle of flying. lol
marsdog this has happened to me! make sure its on airplane mode (accidental pun)
Well u can put it on. ' airplane ' mode
That would be funny!
