Anyone heard of a Wi-Fi camera to replace the FC-40 with better range or less latency? Or maybe a hack that would improve the range of the FC-40? The FC-40 records great but is impossible for useful FPV. Possibly something like the ilook but on 2.4 ghz. I'm not interested in using a Wi-Fi booster its to cumbersome.

Less latency is unlikely to happen - wifi is not designed for real-time FPV. It is designed, in the case of all Phantoms, to allow you to frame your shots and videos.

Plenty of extra payload capacity on an FC40 to put a small FPV camera either in addition to - or instead of - the stock cam. An analog cam will probably provide the least latency since I assume some is lost in processing to composite). Of course you need an FPV screen then too....
