I have read most of what is on DJI's website about Lightbridge, and it looks like a great solution, but for the cost I am not sure it's required for my needs. I don't need HD quality, VGA will do fine for just seeing what my camera is pointed at, but my question is, Lightbridge gives you pretty much everything in one solution. To go 5.8GHz FPV it will require several devices and added weight to accomplish only part of what Lightbridge does. My needs are these in order of importance: 1. To be able to see what my camera is pointed at in a decent (VGA) resolution, with a range of near 1 mile. 2. Having battery level and such displayed so I know what's happening on-board. 3. Having the option of screen and\or goggles. 4. Longer range (up to 2 or 3 miles for a rare occasion here or there but definitely not required) 5. Ground station capabilities (again, not a requirement, but would be nice).
I know that 1, 2, and 3 are pretty easy to get with almost any system, but having the option available of 4 and 5 would be nice, just not sure if it's worth the price. Light bridge pretty much does it all at a cost of ~$1500 by the time you get all the pieces. A decent FPV is more in the $400-$500 range, but I need to research the best choices more. I just don't like being limited on options, then want to upgrade again later. |
