I ordered a EACHINE LCD5802D. Monitor, Diversity receiver, DVR all in one for $130. I don't typically fly by it, it's just there for spectators and to record, but I like it.

It's my experience that spectators are way more comfortable watching a screen than putting something on their face.

For something that small, an AIO camera would likely be best:

The Tx03 is well regarded, supports every channel you could want, and plenty of power output.
A bit smaller option is the inductrix style ones - less power, but even smaller and a touch more durable: https://www.amazon.com/Crazepony-Camera-Transmitter-Splitter-Inductrix/dp/B01LYAW6S6

As for monitor - couple options. Lots of people like the immersiveness of the goggle style rather than monitor. If you agree, the EV800 for $55 are a good start, but the VR D2 at $80 are an even better deal with diversity and a DVR to record your flights.


If you really want a monitor, IMO the best option is the Eachine LCD5802 - its not as cheap as some others (that can be found for as little as $60), but has a great OSD, great battery, DVR, dual receivers, etc.

You mention a voltage read out - that starts to get more expensive very quickly, as you need something with an OSD (larger, more expensive cameras) or a flight controller with OSD and separate VTx.

changed stock to a pagoda omni though

You can buy AIO (all in one) cameras that have integrated transmitters, and those will do you for getting started. I'm using this on a micro build and it's got great penetration (for an AIO) and plenty of channels:

I can't vouch for quality as I haven't used one before, but here's a monitor that checks a lot of the right boxes. I'd start with a monitor and fly with that until you are comfortable and then switch to goggles. Goggles are where it's at.

That would work, but it's not wifi by the look of it. Those usually require a small 5.8G screen or 5.8G goggles.

The only thing is with an action cam is the range isn't very large.

i got it cheaper than 139 but its a good screen.

Not really in the way you describe, not without custom building the hardware/software anyway. You could consider using a cellular phone connection though, perhaps by securing an actual android handset in place of the camera/gimbal on a phantom product (payload may be too much with both), then controlling the phone with another Android phone. Since you would be sacrificing the camera/gimbal you can easily install a lightweight 3rd party FPV camera/transmitter for accurate 5.8ghz remote viewing, like I did on my Phantom 2.

Edit: "easily" is a relative term in regards to FPV install, the gear is cheap and not too complicated with some googling. Also, if you attempt this, turn of the wifi on both phones during flight, and if the cellular data connection with the remote phone interferes with the Phantom's controls you will be SOL... SO TEST, TEST, TEST before risking your hardware!

Edit 2: 2 android phones +
