Hello I’m wanting to use a first person camera to monitor a remote controlled pump is there any kits that work well on long distances (a mile) Any recommendations suggestions much appreciated
So the 1.2ghz long range sender would be best there what cameras and monitor do you recommend?All the electrical items I buy are from the Chinese websites. My drones, CCTV camera's, action cams, FPV kits etc because the prices are very good. You would never get some of the items from British suppliers at these prices. You may to wait a little longer for delivery ,but I find it worth it.
I buy the most from AliExpress, but there are other's....GearBest, Banggood and other's
Take a look at this ,specifically for sending video signal's.

Yep, we use the 2 way version of the telemetry you have! Mine works over a few miles and provides full feedback on what the quad is doing, including motor speeds, height, speed, batteries, control etc.Thanks this is all new to me so appreciate the help I’ll probably buy some cheep bits and see how I go, my controller boards are only a one way link there’s no feedback which is a shame really as it would of been nice to have engine rpms ect fed back to me I bet there’s something you lads use on drones that could of done that?
To the best of my knowledge and unless things have changed recently, 1.2GHz cannot legally be used in the UK. It is used for a lot of radio astronomy and military stuff, so it's best not to go there, particularly with a fixed link, as you may cause interference and then the nice gentlemen from Ofcom will come calling...Reading a bit more 1.2ghz is legal on ground stations so as I’m not flying would that be legal for me to use as I’m concerned with the trees and farm buildings that could be in the way

You just plug that into your flight controller then do you? My pump has a engine with oil pressure rpms and temperature gauges how would I connect them? The idea with the FPV camera is to monitor the pump maybe I’d be better just using this to give me gauges at the controller end of it’s possibleThis sort of thing.

They provide a bidirectional serial data link and just plug into the USB on my laptop or phone.
