Looks like you did some research, so you've gotten pretty much all the good budget stuff, I'd say. So here's just a few of my opinions on an otherwise pretty respectable setup.

The TS832 is rated 600mW, but from my power meter, it's actually around 300-400mW, which is not really an issue, even 300mW will get you enough range, which has more to do with better antennas. Which brings me to the next point, you'll need some circular polarized antenna.

I recommend aomway as it performs excellent for the money. I have had great luck with these also.

Another point to mention is that the TS832 is a bit larger (physically) than most VTX's, but it's not really an issue unless you are building a super tight fitted quadcopter.

Your camera should work fine, though I recommend maybe something less wide than 2.1mm, like a 2.8mm (popular in FPV). The trade off with wide lens is you get to see more, but at the cost of seeing less clearly, since everything is super tiny and far away. Since you are not doing racing, even a 3.6mm would be nice to have, since you can see much more details. But 2.8mm is a good compromise. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyKSH1blJRc)


You can record from the receiver that hooks up to your goggles, but you'll need a DVR to tap into the secondary RCA connector. Or some people use a laptop with a video-input.

Lastly, you can tap into the battery of the quadcopter as not to require a second battery. To do this, you'll need a BEC or voltage regulator that can supply AND filter out the motor noise in the voltage. But a cheap small 3 cell lipo will do the trick and avoid the noise issue.

Yep, it was the antenna. I ended up buying these off amazon and got it working perfectly:

the camera that I'm using is the Hyperion Mini 600 TVL Camera w/built in 5.8GHz 25mW VTX and I don't have a headset so I'm just using some small TV I had lying around and this receiver and this set of antenna

Hello, I was just about to order a couple days ago, then figured I should ask you all here on /r/Multicopter if you have any recommendations for changes. I can solder and have tools, is there anything that I am missing here for a complete setup? Oh I also already own a Spektrum DX6i with two Spektrum AR610 receivers.

Sounds like an MLG setup. I'm thinking about something like this, do you think I'll have any problems with it all being powered by a 3S battery?

I think I found every thing I need BUT the monitor... I have a old monitor with AV Input and think it would work together. Could you verify for me that this would work?

I'm back with a couple of extra questions! :)

The gx210 arrives on Friday but after some searching, I'm afraid I may not be ready for it.

It looks like I need to buy a couple more things.

First, the antenna...

***

It looks like the RTF version comes with a mushroom-type antenna, but the ARF version I bought does not. Last week, I bought this on Amazon to go along with the Runcam Swift you recommended to me: AKK FPV TS5828L 5.8G 600MW 40CH Mini AV Transmitter

Do I also need to buy this thing:

Realacc GX210 5.8G LHCP FPV Clover Antenna RP-SMA

...and wait another week for it to arrive from China? D'oh!

Do I need to buy TWO of the LHCP antennas, one for the quad, and one for my Eachine EV800 goggles? (I think I read somewhere they need to match?)

Or EVEN MORE antennas for spares?

EDIT: it looks like this Anbee Circular Polarized Antenna from Amazon might do the trick for me?

Soldering

***

Do I need to do any soldering to get it all in the air on day one? (I assumed that would be the case, hooking up the VTX and the Runcam Swift, but I am not totally sure)

What kind of solder? Rosen core? Do I need a jar of flux? What about water-soluble flux? Is there a safe/environmentally friendly/least toxic type of solder/flux?

Battery alarms, flight time, on screen display, etc.

**

Finally, what about a battery alarm? How will I know it's time to land?? I know you mentioned having a timer, but I'm not sure how you calculate the flight time.

Does the ARF kit I bought have on on-screen display that displays voltage?

Thank you!
