Hi there, I have been flying FPV since many years back, but my equipment is ancient and out of date, GoPro 1 plus the very very first Fatshark goggles that came out and I have a 1020MhZ video sender/receiver that I flew on my KK system.
Now I have a Phantom 4 and I love it, but my FPV equipment does not work on it.
What do I need?
I would like to hear from those who are doing it, and what really works.
Thanx in advance.

Think you need the HDMI module for the controller from DJI & a set of goggles that accept HDMI input. Then mini HDMI to mini HDMI cable or adapters.

Hello cedthered, you can install an HDMI module on the RC.Then use the cable with mini HDMI ports to connect the FPV goggles and RC.

I Have order the HDMI UNIT to my Phantom 4 (witch I have not flown yet) , and I will try it on my fatshark HD goggles. I have done FPV on my Phantom 2  with my Futaba radio. I toggle the normal flight and   course lock on my Futaba switch: I use normal flight in FPV, and when I landed I toggle to course lock and oriented my self to the surroundings before landing. BUT in Phantom 4 you need the APP DJI GO to toggle between these flight mode if I understand right ??? I really like the idea to can toggle this directly on the remote control !!  ( I will fly FPV without the APP DJI GO with directly video output from HDMI) . Can anyone confirm that I will need to toggle between normal and course lock ONLY ON THE APP DJI GO ??

It has enough RAM, but the OS it runs on is speculative. There are some dealers that have display units that you could try connecting to it before you buy. That may be the best course of action. Otherwise, you may want to look into using one of the devices that are on the recommended list or their newer counterparts.
