FPV584 Plug & Play 5.8 GHz 400mW FPV System Review

by StoneBlueAirlines | March 29, 2013 | (12) Posted in Reviews

In today's review we check out the FPV584 Plug and Play 5.8 GHz 400mW Wireless System from Hobby Wireless. We check out the entire system from what you need or don't need to wire it up and installing it on your plane or quad. We then put it in the air and give it a test flight.

This is a great option to those whom want to do FPV without interference problems with 2.4 GHz R/C radios.
The 400mW 5.8 GHz transmitter and receiver are capable to go take your audio and video wirelessly.
The tiny pocket size receiver besides its small size, it also comes with two (2) A/V outputs to easy connect two video displays or 1x video display and 1x video recorder simultaneously.
It's great and reliable system, with all the important features that plug and play systems must to have.
 
Note to use any other antenna besides the original an RPSMA adapter is needed.

Great review Jeremiah. I own a similar 5.8GHz setup on one of my FPV quads and it works pretty good for short range flying. Like you, I prefer the performance I get with my 1.28GHz system. I have the TBS FatShark video receiver installed in my goggles so I don't have to have the ground station with me. It's a simple and convenient setup.
