FPV Receiver 5.8G 150CH OTG Receiver UVC Video VTX 5dBi SMA Female Plastic for Android Smart Phone PC Monitor Black

This is my receiver for recording my FPV airplane flying videos, outputted by a generic all in one vtx+ camera on my powered sailplane. It outputs to an old return Toshiba Encore 2 8" windows 10 tablet via the included double sided male micro usb (not that there's anything wrong with that) and via the automatic search function finds the strongest channel frequency and locks on (provided user activates the vtx first, obviously) and does it's job well. It's reliable, easy to use, low power consumption, inexpensive (literally the cheapest one I could find at the time) & delivered super fast. I have no qualms or reservations about recommending this to anyone or buying another myself for any low end beginner FPV setup. Designed to output to an OTG capable cellphone,which I've also done with this successfully, but works great to a laptop, tablet or anything that can accept video in via usb. Also has a 3 pin input that I think is for either an osd or perhaps an alternative power source (otherwise powered by USB).

I rolled the dice despite the spotty reviews: it absolutely works with an FPV camera, and seamlessly integrates with my Windows 10 laptop using the standard Camera app, however I tried 4-5 different USB camera apps on my (years old) Android phone and could not get my phone to recognize, however my old phone is also a culprit and I spent only 1 hour before moving to my laptop. -What made this difficult to troubleshoot at first is that I couldn't tell *which* piece of the chain was broken (My phone OS version? The camera app? The Receiver? The USB cable? The FPV transmitter?) until the live camera feed was up and running-- there's no status lights or insight into what's healthy or unhealthy. So I learned some things: - Even without an FPV camera turned on, a successful connection to your device will show *static* as well as a temporary text overlay (see my attached screenshot) with the current frequency and signal strength. This is important, because you can immediately tell if the issue is with your phone/computer connection, or an FPV tx/rx issue. I only discovered this after moving to my Windows 10 laptop. I never got this far on my Android phone and therefore was also troubleshooting my FPV setup and USB cable (a red herring). - So, don't worry about your FPV camera/live video until you see some static/my screenshot appear on your device-- this means you have a compatible app and good connection. I use the "Camera" app on Windows 10 and it instantly recognized this as a USB camera device, when plugged into a USB-C port on my laptop. It was shockingly easy compared to my Android experience. Importantly, my Android phone is an older "desk drawer" phone and could be the culprit for why none of the camera apps recognized the receiver as a USB camera. It sounds like some folks had luck with Android and a "coin toss" of which USB camera app on the Play Store worked for them. - Once you have the static feed up on your device and therefore know the receiver is functioning, now you can power on your FPV camera and get it transmitting. Once that's powered up, you can then long-press *either* of the two buttons on the receiver for three seconds, and you will see on your static feed the text overlay update as the receiver searches all frequencies for your FPV. You can do this even without the FPV camera powered on-- it won't connect but you'll see the frequency searching happening, as a sanity check that either button can be pressed to achieve the same function. - The receiver will automatically lock onto the transmitting frequency of your FPV camera, and display a signal strength. The live video feed should appear instantly. - While stuck troubleshooting on Android, for a while I was questioning whether the receiver was even powered on or functioning at all-- I learned that it will become slightly warm (as all RF equipment does) after several minutes, implying it's drawing power and not completely bricked. - To summarize: This product does work well on Windows 10 Camera app, but there may be some compatibility issues depending on the age of your Android device if you go that route. Importantly, you can also verify this receiver works on your device *even without purchasing an FPV camera*, because you can see that static feed and text overlay (my screenshot), proving a healthy connection before the RF link comes up.

No instructions or directions and the android app constantly crashes on boot up of the app. I was about to toss it out when I decided to try USB on my notebook as a last resort. Googling around I found this guy's video on youtube who got me going: Gal Kremer "How To Do FPV On Your Pc - Eachine ROTG01 Review + PC Test" He recommends getting "Debut Video Capture Software" and, although I was skeptical it would work, it really did! It interprets it as a USB 2.0 Camera. Saved a heap of headache and time on my end. (stop by and give him a like for the help) Subtracted 2 stars because you're basically floundering around with no instructions but post software it does what it says it does. The two buttons are channel up and down and hold to scan.

Does not work simply put, It uses a app called skydroid FPV, which has horrible reviews for good reasons, it crashes and will not stop crashing seconds after start, on both android and windows, which you have to use BlueStacks, a phone emulator, restarting phone and making sure the app had the correct permissions, nope the app crashes over and over, Seeing others use other apps to get this receiver to work, I tried FPV Go and another app, in which both cases the app gave the error " Looks like this device has no UVC driver There were no instructions included, so if there is another app that actually gets this to work, I have not been able to find it. This was to be a Christmas gift and now I need to shop for another, that'll likely not arrive in time . . . I would attempt a refund but I should of tested this product sooner, for I am out of the amazon return window. I do not recommend this product, perhaps I got a defective product that got through quality control, or it can be fixed once the app developer comes out with a update fix, who knows, sadly my gift will not be on time this year, I cannot recommend this product.

Ive had this for a bit over a month and i can say that its really solid. The connection for short to medium range flights is impressive for being such a small and lot very costly device. It fits in my pocket its works phenomenally. Signal penetration is a little on the rough side once you go though several walls or obstacles but that's to be expected. Overall I'm very happy and would recommend!!

We quickly tested this FPV video receiver. It works as expected. We did not notice any considerable latency.
