Flying FPV is an amazing experience...if you're the pilot. We wanted to be able to share that experience with more people at once, so Josh built this amazing community ground station. 

The coolest thing about the Duo5800 is the fact that it will constantly assess which antenna is getting the best signal and seamlessly switches between the better of the two. We had two of the same antenna (which didn't make much difference), but if you had a directional and omni-directional antenna on the same receiver you would be getting the best signal at both distances.  

We tested this setup with the TBS Discovery equipped with a 5.8GHz 600mW Tx.

One of the tricks to making this work is turning off the television's blue screen feature.

Basically, if the signal going to the TV becomes too weak, the TV will go to a blue screen. Turning this feature off will let you see the signal even if it's not that great. 

Better to fly through a weak signal than a bright blue blindfold!

We wouldn't recommend using this indoors. Luckily, we did get a pretty good signal even while it was pushing through a wall. 

This is a great way to share the FPV experience with someone new or a whole crowd! If you end up at an event with us, be sure to keep your eyes open for that bright orange trailer. This might just be hanging off the side and you can check it out for yourself. 

So eBay is doing this new thing called eBay Collections! It's basically a list of different things all under a specific theme. We made one packed full of great FPV gear and a few of the components we used to make this awesome ground station.

Check out the collection here!

Here is where it gets awesome! If you make your own eBay Collection and post a link to it in the comments section on YouTube, we are going to pick our two favorites and send the winners a $25 eBay giftcard! 

As always, we thank you guys for your continued inspiration and support! We wouldn't even exist without the wonderful RC community out there and we love you all!
