Hi everybody,

Does anybody have any experience in flying with a FPV as well as a gimbal camera?

How about a go pro using the Hdmi input on the LB and fpv cam connected to the av input? Has anyone had success doing that?

Great, very incouraging. Do you use separate receivers for the cams and does the telemetry show on both camera's or on the FPV only? Could not find any  info on that.

Thanks.

You can switch between video feeds in the App.  However, if you want the Camera Op to have the gimbal feed and the Pilot to have the FPV feed it will require two ground stations.

I am afraid that not work, When using with DJI HD gimbal such as Z15-BMPCC, you can select either single or dual video source

What im trying to do is connect a 600tvl camera to lightbridge's av input and gopro to the hdmi input, and only 1 operator be able to switch between the 2.  I've had my gopro lockup in the past and then it kills the video feed with a error screen,  so I want to be able to switch to the analog camera plugged into the av input so I can see again if that happens again.  So I'm wondering if a person can switch between the hdmi input the gopro uses and the av input the 600tvl fatshark camera uses?

You have it set for single video source.. Set it to dual video source on the master lightbridge unit so both video steams come down from the air unit...   Let me know if it helped you, I'm pretty sure that's your only problem..  The setting you need to change is right above where you select which camera you want to see..  You can't play a different camera source on each lightbridge if you only have the air unit set to send only one source..  Set it to dual video source and then the air unit will will send both camera streams down..  It has to be changed on the master ground unit, in the slave unit the setting is greyed out and can't be selected..  So where you select what camera you want displayed right above that it says it's set to single, just tap on that and change to dual and I'm sure it will be fine..
Please let me know if I was able to help you or not

Hope this gets to you and is still relevant...but where DO you tap to choose which camera to see?  I haven't found that and apparently that is the answer...

When you say "set it to dual video source on the master lightbridge unit" are you talking about the app or a physical switch on the unit itself? If it's the app can you be a little more clear on where you are tapping on the screen? Thanks for your help.
