I recently bought a sabrent USB capture device and decided to give this a try because I could. the chipset my USB device uses is the STK1160 (Sabrent model USB-AVCPT) the drivers are available with a quick search but the Android Easy Cap app recognized it right away. using my LG G4 it works great, and is a great salvaged FPV solution with my old G2. Thanks, Andy!
Nerys for me it was about seeing what was possible with the technology we have. however people are using their phone for all kimds of different fpv applications. for example some auto pilot software requires a pc link to ground station software. many people are using separate fpv devices. with the easy cap device it can all be done on your pc and now tablet/phone :-)
There is already some interesting test at 9:15, i downloaded the video and checked it frame by frame in VLC, when the change on the phone display happens. I got about 3-4 frames delay, so thats 100-133ms latency (30fps/33ms).
I have an EasyCAP based on Empia chip and a laptop running Arch Linux. I tried to use it for my FPV gear just today, I'm getting latency around 200-300ms (analyzing recorded video frame-by-frame). Long story short, it was too 'drunk' to be usable, and I had to maintain line of sight with my quad anyways, since I'm a noob that had his 3rd succesful flight on this quad today at all :)
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. Wanted to do a ride along fpv screen without buying another, then you go and show the possibilities of DVR as well. Thank you for exhausting your time and energy to working all this out. Very appreciated
Thank you very much for this great video. It's very helpful and saved me an awful amount of money. Had two tablets doing nothing but getting dust now they are part of my fpv equipment. Thank you so so much.
Thanks for taking the time to verify the compatible chipsets. My device is branded as the Kworld USB2800d and unfortunately uses the EMPIA EM2860 device which isn't compatible. For the sake of £3 for the APP I tried it anyway only to be told that no suitable device was found. Not to worry a compatible device is relatively cheap, certainly cheaper than the added expense of a dedicated FPV monitor and DVR, so one will be ordered. Regards Nidge
A bit disappointing but not a game stopper. It works fine on the PC in APM Mission Planner, using the receiver in my FS Attitudes, and I've already secured an Android compatible device, thanks to your chipset recommendations. Regards Nidge
Thanks, this video was the first result when googling "smartphone fpv" and it made my day- I've already have a compatible smartphone and an easycap I was using for raspberry pi ambilight. Now I only have to wait until my google cardboard lenses arrive :D
Thank you so much for that video, I have been trying to connect my backup camera but I had a hard time, now I now what app to use and already found it.
i just ordered one of these for another reason. i hope mine will be the right version. waiting for it to get here. but none the less i just wanted this to record video.. stumble onto this video and was like bonus! thanks for the video.
+AndyRC hi andy, well i took this apart and looks like i do not have the right one.. sigh. this is what it says: HTV600 A187286.1 1512L1BK 1 there is one place on the PCB that says UTV007-v1.0-OVERFLY printed in white letters next to the cables coming out by soldering pad J2 right under it. then the only other number i could read was by the USB metal plug, the metal pill shape part, it just says 12000. i guess i could try ordering another one of these off ebay for 5.00, the sellers have no clue what chip they use. now im not sure if i was reading the right spot.. if it was on the PCB then looks like i would.. but i pretty sure you meant the chip.
+AndyRC naw i did not feel like spending 6.00 to test it. i see your PCB does not have the white print "UTV007-V1.0-OVERFLY" i will probably search around the store and see if there are some free options or trials. if i knew it was gonna work id spend the 6.00 thanks for the video anyhow.
i have small HP laptop with windows7 . bought an easycap. my question is how can I run this full screen instead of the small capture screen in the software..... Great Video !!
Thank a million for that video ! Smartphones screens are so much better than common 7 inch monitors... Have you found an FPV camera which provides a great image on common smartphones ?
Someone may have mentioned this but if you're running Android 7.0 ot higher you can switch on "gamemode" and record what's on your cellphone. It's built in under "performance mode" in cellphone settings
Thanks for this. Works a treat. Not tried it in the field yet, but hopefully will make a nice second screen so others can watch whilst I wear the Fatsharks.
It would be really awesome if you could provide the exact names and schematics. For example, I don't know what camera did you use on the drone. So the schematics and parts list would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance, I am a big fan
+AndyRC aaaaand... It Works! Both on windows 10 and android! Really nice option to use as a DVR, also a very cheap FPV setup I can use until I can afford a pair of goggles, thanks man!
This is great, I have been working on a project for ground vehicle FPV. I've considered using a 10" Windows 8 Tablet as my monitor screen. I wear glasses so goggles will be an issue, though I believe Google Cardboard does work with them. My current Android phones don't support OTG, but my next one will.
Hi Andy! great video. it helped me to make use of my easycap rather than lying around unused. mine is a cheap one comes with HTV600 chip. Easycap Viewer able to recognize it either selecting UTV007 or STK1160 in the software
+AndyRC I am also using this www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__70387__FR632_Diversity_5_8GHz_32Ch_Auto_Scan_LCD_A_V_Receiver_AR_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=fr632
its a great idea for a passenger seat while doing fpv , i probably wont use it as my main fpv screen cos of laintacy and blue screen ( if it blue screen) ... but soon these will be our fpv goggle for sure :) nice find mate well done !!!!
wow man.. this is great video..this is just what i need. i was just looking for the way to connect my fpv to smartphone and so i could record it. thanks
+AndyRC can it be used only with easycap application are there any other android application that may support this device for fpv? so that webcam application also works well?
Thanks Andy, this is great! Can't wait to use this setup on my Nexus 7, it will be great for when I don't have access to my laptop (which I use with my EasyCap as of now). I'm glad those OTG cables are cheap too, it's the only thing I'm missing. P.S. I think you meant UTV007, not UTV008, in the description.
AndyRC Just received the adapter I ordered from BangGood and it works great on my phone and tablet! Definitely worth the $1 for the cable and $5 for the app. Thanks for this, Andy, it's much better than buying a $200 screen!
Hey brotha, I'm using the utv007 chip set and I'm having no luck. The app has progressively changing and your fix doesn't work anymore. Do you have any advice, maybe a different app that works? Thanx so much, your awesome for taking the time to make this video.
I believe the video signal from your drone is analog correct? I have a 5G Wi-Fi drone and my smartphone picks up the signal without your hack. I have a lot of latency though wondering how I can reduce that with a 5G Wi-Fi drone.
Great video! is it possible to connect something like a Wii, and plug the RCA (Red, Yellow, and White cables) to my android phone through adapters and stuff? please help. Thanks!
Sorry if this was asked before. BUt I want to replace my fatshark goggles with this setup using the goggle video you also released. What exactly do I need to do this ? 1: Plastic casing, Fresno lens. 2: EasyCap device 3: what do you use for the receiver ? and can I use the same antennae i bought for my fatshark on it ?
Mike Hoogstraat if you plan on using the cardboard view u dont need the lens. for the receiver u can use any thats compatible with the frequency u are using, im guessing 5.8g?
Thank you for the video! I picked up the "Easier Cap" from Banggood which is apparently a clone, so hopefully it'll work with this app. The question I have is does the app allow you to double up the screen to be used on Google cardboard? Google cardboard requires two images side by side to function correctly.
Hello Andy ! Thank you for your bright brilliant video. It definitely helps me through my initiation to fpv. I bought an Rtg01 otg for receiving fpv video from my tx03. I will use my tablet nexus 7. Do you think it could work with a fresnel lens ? I mean, I would like to build a diy goggles with otg+tablet+fresnel lens. Is there really a difference between lcd screen and my tablet screen ?
Shouldn't be difficult to adapt one of these by removing the A/V wires and connecting a little 5.8ghz receiver board directly to the video and power connections.
Hi AndyRC Great video! I have been looking for information on how to build a fpv system. The purpose of this system will be to be able to see 6 mm holes in a paper that is going to be located about 300 yds away. I would like to see the video and pictures in my phone. Could you recommend me what kind of items (camera, transmitter, receiver etc) would I need. I am totally new to this topic and would benefit from your help. Thanks
Thanks for sharing this, now if there is a way to get this to work with Google cardboard, and not have to destroy the headset, if any developments using UNITY or something similar could be worked out that would be fantastic, also use a Bluetooth handset like a PS3 controller to start and stop the screen recording
hi Andy good vid. there are tons of these on the market can you post a link to where you purchased this please. as I can't be sure what version I'm getting. thanks.
+Thulfiqar Ali 5 negative feedbacks in 3 months isn't good it's terrible I have 100% positive in 5 years. That's good. and why say the seller is good when the seller is you. Nothing like bigin up yourself.
This is a great way to fpv. I wanna use my 10" tab s with a hood with no wires mounted on my transmitter. But damn that is soo much harder than a monitor.
dude can you help me got i imax b6 charger which is great got 2000mah 2 cell 7.4 volt syma batterys ya you got it funny connectors but if i make connector lead that goes in side can i use this charger to charge them with just balance lead plugged in connection error message come up got old connector off an old fc board if soilder bannana connectorsnon in is it safe to charge using imax b6 as stock charger takes 3hr to charge for 8 min flight thanks
Does the app have a record function? Apologies if you mentioned it, I was not able to see the whole 17 minutes. Not concerned about actual FPV use since I have googles for that, but would be interested in recording from this device if possible to compare against my DVR.
AndyRC You are Very Welcome. I ment it. You are good at this. Your voise is good and you bring everything together and make it easy to understand. AND :) I actially Learned from this Video :)Good Luck with what ever you do Bro :)
What would the range be on this? I have an rc car that I like to drive on trails, but I can only drive it 50 or so feet before I lose sight of it in the woods. I'd love to be able to use an fpv setup to drive it farther without having to stop and catch up to it as often.
Depends on frequency, power level, and antenna type. generally lower frequencies travel further, high power travels further, and more directional antennas travel further. you'll probably have to upgrade your entire vtx system to get better range
Thank you for your reply, the one I bought has STK1160 chip set, should I get UTV007 instead? Can you give me a link where can I buy this dongle.Thank you.
+Di Bay Rc the STK1160 chip is supported. i dont have a link this was bought off amazon years ago. have a look on ebay or look down the comments a few have posted links to where they got theres cheers
Hey there, my EasyCap works fine on computer, but not on the Easycap app... I just got my EasyCap from Amazon 2 weeks ago, would that be the problem: I mean, the version of the easycap? Any other alternatives to it?(the USB Camera app also does not recognize the easy cap as a webcam... Thank you!
Could you tell if the easycap viewer app can be used with "3d" goggles with a feature to display "side-by-side" mirrored video from a single composite video source? ( BlitzWolf® VR Glasses for example) Thanks
@AndyRC I tried to look through your videos, I’m trying to get my friend in Nigeria to experience FPV, but only with a simulator. Have you got it to work using usb and simulator app? I got him a basic radio. If you got it working, would you mind sharing your experience
Can you please give link for the connector widgets used to connect the cables to the recording unit. Why on earth aren’t they male connectors to begin with?
Thanks for the good video. It all connects OK and I have the 007 chipset, however I get a partial signal that's very blocky and colourful. I can see shapes so I'm getting some sort of signal. Any idea why?
+AndyRC I'm going to order a new USB OTG cable. The fact I'm getting a signal gives me hope, the OTG cable is 5 years old so it could be that. I've got to stop watching your videos, I'm about to order the all of the parts for the micro quad that I don't need!
+AndyRC I got easy cap working, it was the video lead, I had used one from an old camcorder, when I pulled it out slightly from the receiver it worked. The az capture is also superb. Cheers.
Great stuff! What is the video resolution for this set up? your other video only displayed at 640 x 480, is this better quality, or the same? I set up my (fake easycap) and the video quality is rather poor compared to my 7"FPV monitor.
So the final output is 640 x 480? Do you think there is a way to output at 720 or higher to take full advantage of the phones screen? I thought easycaps were able to output/capture at full 1080? using the same setup but with a laptop instead of phone, will you be able to display a higher resolution FPV? anyway, keep up the good work, this is super useful video!
Ashley Bennett I dont think easy cap outputs 1080p, i think its outputs the same resolution as dvd. if you are using it for fpv non of that matters because fpv cams are standard def anyways, either way i was really impressed with the quality of easycap on the phone
Im using a gopro hero3 to boscam VTX via usb output, to Boscam 308VRX, to easy cap to samsung galaxy s5. I can only get 640x480. IF i plug the VRX into my 7" fpv monitor, or 40" tv, i get better (perceived, with no way to measure) quality. Mostly less jagged straight edges, better colour depth. Have you come across any apps or settings that allow better than 640x480 display? I only ask out of curiosity to push this system to its limits. Other than that, it works fine for framing aerial videography shots and stills.
gadgetman 404 the range.depends on what fpv transmitter and receiver combination you use so which ever one u buy will determine that. the easycap device costs about 11gbp and the otg lead a couple of gbp. all the best
Hello, Thanks for making this video. I just got one from Ali Express and it works perfectly after getting a couple from Amazon that didn't work. I was able to use it with my Samsung Tablet but my Samsung Galaxy S3 will not power the easycap. Do you know where I can get a good OTG cable for Samsung S3? Since that is what I want to use for fpv. I have made the goggles from your video as well.
Sol mag i think if the s3 does not usb otg then it wont work, you could try to look up to see if such a cable exists. i know some people hacked the nexus 4 to use usb otg by powering it separately
AndyRC Thanks for responding, can I use this cable ( shop.valarm.net/collections/cables-connectors/products/micro-usb-host-otg-y-cable-with-micro-usb-power-for-samsung) or do you know where I can get it cheaper? Also, I did not see the AZ Screen recorder in the play store. Did they change the name or it's no longer available?
WOW, Andy just came across this video, It's amazing how much has changed and developed in the last 6 years.
What do you mean?
I recently bought a sabrent USB capture device and decided to give this a try because I could. the chipset my USB device uses is the STK1160 (Sabrent model USB-AVCPT) the drivers are available with a quick search but the Android Easy Cap app recognized it right away.
using my LG G4 it works great, and is a great salvaged FPV solution with my old G2.
Thanks, Andy!
شكرا
At first I was like. WTH. what is the point of this silly configuration. then it hit me. RECORDING THE FLIGHT. Genius! absolutely Genius!
Nerys for me it was about seeing what was possible with the technology we have. however people are using their phone for all kimds of different fpv applications. for example some auto pilot software requires a pc link to ground station software. many people are using separate fpv devices. with the easy cap device it can all be done on your pc and now tablet/phone :-)
Can you do a latency test with this method please ?
There is already some interesting test at 9:15, i downloaded the video and checked it frame by frame in VLC, when the change on the phone display happens. I got about 3-4 frames delay, so thats 100-133ms latency (30fps/33ms).
I have an EasyCAP based on Empia chip and a laptop running Arch Linux. I tried to use it for my FPV gear just today, I'm getting latency around 200-300ms (analyzing recorded video frame-by-frame).
Long story short, it was too 'drunk' to be usable, and I had to maintain line of sight with my quad anyways, since I'm a noob that had his 3rd succesful flight on this quad today at all :)
Romain Janssens I have one of those devices
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. Wanted to do a ride along fpv screen without buying another, then you go and show the possibilities of DVR as well. Thank you for exhausting your time and energy to working all this out. Very appreciated
no problem thanks for watching
Your house looks almost like the first Harry Potter movies.
Thank you very much for this great video. It's very helpful and saved me an awful amount of money. Had two tablets doing nothing but getting dust now they are part of my fpv equipment. Thank you so so much.
+Miguel Vega wonderful story enjoy your FPV :)
+AndyRC thanks again mate. Blessings!
no problem :)
How was the lag and latency on this plz
works with my EasyCAP and Nexus 7 2013 latest update (Android 6.0.1) with EasyCAP app. I set up from PAL to NTSC on the settings menu, and it works.
Thanks for taking the time to verify the compatible chipsets. My device is branded as the Kworld USB2800d and unfortunately uses the EMPIA EM2860 device which isn't compatible. For the sake of £3 for the APP I tried it anyway only to be told that no suitable device was found. Not to worry a compatible device is relatively cheap, certainly cheaper than the added expense of a dedicated FPV monitor and DVR, so one will be ordered.
Regards
Nidge
That's a shame. To be honest it was sheer luck mine was one that worked. I bought the cheapest one off ebay
A bit disappointing but not a game stopper. It works fine on the PC in APM Mission Planner, using the receiver in my FS Attitudes, and I've already secured an Android compatible device, thanks to your chipset recommendations.
Regards
Nidge
Thanks, this video was the first result when googling "smartphone fpv" and it made my day- I've already have a compatible smartphone and an easycap I was using for raspberry pi ambilight.
Now I only have to wait until my google cardboard lenses arrive :D
+crzprgrmmr wonderful glad you found it useful enjoy!
Thank you so much for that video, I have been trying to connect my backup camera but I had a hard time, now I now what app to use and already found it.
Just got my Easycap today, big thanks for these vids. Great channel and vids, thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching. hope u got it working cheers
i just ordered one of these for another reason. i hope mine will be the right version. waiting for it to get here.
but none the less i just wanted this to record video.. stumble onto this video and was like bonus! thanks for the video.
+Chris c good luck hope the right one turns up cheers!
+AndyRC hi andy, well i took this apart and looks like i do not have the right one.. sigh. this is what it says:
HTV600
A187286.1
1512L1BK 1
there is one place on the PCB that says UTV007-v1.0-OVERFLY printed in white letters next to the cables coming out by soldering pad J2 right under it.
then the only other number i could read was by the USB metal plug, the metal pill shape part, it just says 12000.
i guess i could try ordering another one of these off ebay for 5.00, the sellers have no clue what chip they use.
now im not sure if i was reading the right spot.. if it was on the PCB then looks like i would.. but i pretty sure you meant the chip.
yes it should be written on the chips. did u try it with the app?
+AndyRC naw i did not feel like spending 6.00 to test it. i see your PCB does not have the white print "UTV007-V1.0-OVERFLY"
i will probably search around the store and see if there are some free options or trials. if i knew it was gonna work id spend the 6.00
thanks for the video anyhow.
no worries. good luck
@magaiver smith yes I have, it will be one of the next videos coming up! cheers
best uvc is utv007 , great video my friend , i like all yours videos
ordered the easycap after watching your video and it works great with my smartphone and rc832 receiver.
thanks a lot!
wonderful so glad to hear
i have small HP laptop with windows7 . bought an easycap. my question is how can I run this full screen instead of the small capture screen in the software..... Great Video !!

What a nice well done video, I was just looking up easycap not even interested in fpv. Watch the whole video. it was cool.
Thanks for this. Works a treat.
Not tried it in the field yet, but hopefully will make a nice second screen so others can watch whilst I wear the Fatsharks.
Stuart Bailey yes this setup is perfect for that. hope it works well! cheers
It would be really awesome if you could provide the
exact names and schematics.
For example, I don't know what camera did you use on the drone.
So the schematics and parts list would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance, I am a big fan
Bought adapter from Aliexpress for $ 8.04 and it works GREAT on my Asus Zenphone.
Thanks AndyRC!!!
+Sochibusi good to hear :)
Hi Andy ,great stuff as usual.
This is really cool! I will be adding a transmitter to my fy450 and will use my windows 10 tablet for FPV!
+Francesco Barbieri great good idea ;)
+AndyRC aaaaand... It Works! Both on windows 10 and android! Really nice option to use as a DVR, also a very cheap FPV setup I can use until I can afford a pair of goggles, thanks man!
ah so glad to hear. awesome!
Andy:
Could you list your preferred aps in the summary above?
Thanks for working all of this out for us!
Jim
Your intro’s are really improved hahaha, I like your positive intro now
The latency seems pretty bad, I would guess no racing with this approach...
This is great, I have been working on a project for ground vehicle FPV. I've considered using a 10" Windows 8 Tablet as my monitor screen. I wear glasses so goggles will be an issue, though I believe Google Cardboard does work with them.
My current Android phones don't support OTG, but my next one will.
+Anthony Thomas sounds like a great setup :)
Hi Andy! great video. it helped me to make use of my easycap rather than lying around unused. mine is a cheap one comes with HTV600 chip. Easycap Viewer able to recognize it either selecting UTV007 or STK1160 in the software
+Azlan Adnan thats good to k ow and thats the first case of another chip working! cheers
Fun and informative video and it helps when you are a great RC pilot too! Well done and thank you!
+vidskitkid ah thanks very kind!
Didnt even think of it. Would be great to use my Note 4 now that I got my new iPhone 6s Plus
+zerocool60544 Great! yes as new phones comes out we are left with quite a few spares that are not worth selling on
+AndyRC Hey do you have and ebay/amazon link for a known seller of this?
I'm having trouble with an EMPIA easycap device.. Doesn't seem to be working :/
Awesome video man! What FPV cam are you using? The video quality looks great!
+Ryan Fay its from fpvhobby however I dont think they sell the wide angle version any more. check out my fpv plate for a good cheap camera option :)
+AndyRC Do you happen to remember which one? The video quality looks amazing compared to my shop.runcam.com/runcam-pz0420m/
+AndyRC I am also using this www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__70387__FR632_Diversity_5_8GHz_32Ch_Auto_Scan_LCD_A_V_Receiver_AR_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=fr632
its a great idea for a passenger seat while doing fpv , i probably wont use it as my main fpv screen cos of laintacy and blue screen ( if it blue screen) ... but soon these will be our fpv goggle for sure :)
nice find mate well done !!!!
Aron Gatt no problem enjoy :)
wow man.. this is great video..this is just what i need. i was just looking for the way to connect my fpv to smartphone and so i could record it. thanks
+Iron Man no problem enjoy
+AndyRC can it be used only with easycap application are there any other android application that may support this device for fpv? so that webcam application also works well?
it can be used with anything on a laptop but on android it only works with the easy viewer
Great info!
Did you test it while on flight? What about the latency?
Very nicely demonstrated thanks !
What a rear cam monitor instead of mobile phone do you that would work?
Thanks for good video.
Is there any way to get this thing working with Google Cardboard?
Interesting again.I have a USB AV IN capture device at home,might try it.If it works may try it with the Banggood universal goggle phone adapter.
Awesome let me know if it works and I can add the device to the list
Excellent... Thank you.. This is how I will send AV out from a DSR 570 WS Video Camera for a DIY remote monitor...
Thanks Andy, this is great! Can't wait to use this setup on my Nexus 7, it will be great for when I don't have access to my laptop (which I use with my EasyCap as of now). I'm glad those OTG cables are cheap too, it's the only thing I'm missing.
P.S. I think you meant UTV007, not UTV008, in the description.
NoahWL1 correct ill have it changed thanks
AndyRC Just received the adapter I ordered from BangGood and it works great on my phone and tablet! Definitely worth the $1 for the cable and $5 for the app. Thanks for this, Andy, it's much better than buying a $200 screen!
so glad it worked for you, all the best :)
NoahWL1 which easycap from banggood did you buy?
I didnt get the easy cap from banggood, search on ebay either STK1160 or UTV007
Thank you! It is working for me and tomorrow i will fly with it for the first time!
TheMikiwroc congrats happy flying!
Hey brotha, I'm using the utv007 chip set and I'm having no luck. The app has progressively changing and your fix doesn't work anymore. Do you have any advice, maybe a different app that works? Thanx so much, your awesome for taking the time to make this video.

Great job Sir thank you so much for sharing your hard work and dedication on your video and yes the video was very useful
Great video! is it possible to connect something like a Wii, and plug the RCA (Red, Yellow, and White cables) to my android phone through adapters and stuff? please help. Thanks!
Sorry if this was asked before. BUt I want to replace my fatshark goggles with this setup using the goggle video you also released.
What exactly do I need to do this ?
1: Plastic casing, Fresno lens.
2: EasyCap device
3: what do you use for the receiver ? and can I use the same antennae i bought for my fatshark on it ?
Mike Hoogstraat if you plan on using the cardboard view u dont need the lens. for the receiver u can use any thats compatible with the frequency u are using, im guessing 5.8g?
With this method I can get 5.8Ghz fpv plus DVR under USD60.
Thanks Andy!
Hello Good Work I hav A Samsung Galaxy S6 and A LogiLink VG0001 and I use the EasyCap app and it works !!! Great!! Thaks to you !!
Thank you for the video! I picked up the "Easier Cap" from Banggood which is apparently a clone, so hopefully it'll work with this app. The question I have is does the app allow you to double up the screen to be used on Google cardboard? Google cardboard requires two images side by side to function correctly.
WhiffleX It does not allow you to do that unfortunately.we need someone who can make us an app!
AndyRC I emailed the developer and they said cardboard support is coming soon!
that would be awesome ill look out for it! thanks
WhiffleX Do you know when it will support Google Cardboard? Thanks
Jon Car The developer told me within a month. Hopefully soon!
Hello Andy ! Thank you for your bright brilliant video. It definitely helps me through my initiation to fpv. I bought an Rtg01 otg for receiving fpv video from my tx03. I will use my tablet nexus 7. Do you think it could work with a fresnel lens ? I mean, I would like to build a diy goggles with otg+tablet+fresnel lens. Is there really a difference between lcd screen and my tablet screen ?
Which battery should i use to power a 1000tv fpv camera with a 600mw transmitter.
Shouldn't be difficult to adapt one of these by removing the A/V wires and connecting a little 5.8ghz receiver board directly to the video and power connections.
can you plug the easy cap into hubsan h501s advanced transmitter and will it fpv ?
can you do all that stuff on a dual core phone or do you need a powerful quad core or octa core phone ?
Can you make a video using a reverse camera and a android? I
want to aply in my bike, but i do not know how to do it..
Thanks
Hi AndyRC
Great video! I have been looking for information on how to build a fpv system. The purpose of this system will be to be able to see 6 mm holes in a paper that is going to be located about 300 yds away. I would like to see the video and pictures in my phone. Could you recommend me what kind of items (camera, transmitter, receiver etc) would I need. I am totally new to this topic and would benefit from your help. Thanks
it may be a stupid question, but can i use it with a phone that doesnt support otg? because it has external power, doesnt use the phone battery.
what model of the camera you using sir, thx so much.
Thanks for sharing this, now if there is a way to get this to work with Google cardboard, and not have to destroy the headset, if any developments using UNITY or something similar could be worked out that would be fantastic, also use a Bluetooth handset like a PS3 controller to start and stop the screen recording
MrTaz0079 I would love it if someone could make one :)
hi Andy good vid.
there are tons of these on the market can you post a link to where you purchased this please.
as I can't be sure what version I'm getting.
thanks.
+Thulfiqar Ali 5 negative feedbacks in 3 months isn't good it's terrible I have 100% positive in 5 years.
That's good.
and why say the seller is good when the seller is you.
Nothing like bigin up yourself.
+Thulfiqar Ali and 60 day delivery where is it coming from ? JUPITER !!!
This is a great way to fpv. I wanna use my 10" tab s with a hood with no wires mounted on my transmitter. But damn that is soo much harder than a monitor.
Thanks andy, i was looking for this !
No problem :-)
Wich software from the market place works the best (free) maybe put some links in discription :)
Jordy RC the only app which works is a paid one but its only 2 pound. Just search easycap on play store
great movie, I have a question if this camera wakes up when it has 12v? after disconnection returns to dasch?
does the latency depend on the number of cores? I have samsung i9001
dude can you help me got i imax b6 charger which is great got 2000mah 2 cell 7.4 volt syma batterys ya you got it funny connectors but if i make connector lead that goes in side can i use this charger to charge them with just balance lead plugged in connection error message come up got old connector off an old fc board if soilder bannana connectorsnon in is it safe to charge using imax b6 as stock charger takes 3hr to charge for 8 min flight thanks
Can i connect my PS3 to it , as it has AV output
yes
You are a genius. I have subscribed.
pokies100 thanks for subscribing :)
it works thanks man but I have the fake EasyCAP
is there a difference between the fake and the real
Thanks for answering
Does the app have a record function? Apologies if you mentioned it, I was not able to see the whole 17 minutes. Not concerned about actual FPV use since I have googles for that, but would be interested in recording from this device if possible to compare against my DVR.
does it support on samsung galaxy j5 2016??
Great video . ! thank you
Dimitris Stravolemos thanks for watching
thank you for the nice video . really cool idea.
How does that latency compare to what you get with an actual HMD?
Oh WOW, That what I call a Video worth while to Watch :). Thank you for sharing Brother,
:)
Bisholi M thank you, very kind :) comments like this make it all worth spending the time. cheers!
AndyRC You are Very Welcome. I ment it. You are good at this. Your voise is good and you bring everything together and make it easy to understand. AND :) I actially Learned from this Video :)Good Luck with what ever you do Bro :)
thanks for the feedback cheers. you too!
Can you use this to plug in Game Consoles or DVD players?
What easycap viewer version it is?
Does it's work with receiver satellite tv or dvd player ???
What would the range be on this? I have an rc car that I like to drive on trails, but I can only drive it 50 or so feet before I lose sight of it in the woods. I'd love to be able to use an fpv setup to drive it farther without having to stop and catch up to it as often.
Depends on frequency, power level, and antenna type.
generally lower frequencies travel further, high power travels further, and more directional antennas travel further. you'll probably have to upgrade your entire vtx system to get better range
ok i am new at all of this i would like to know after i get the easycap and otg device what else do i need to complete this
what camera/transmitter is that on that drone? it's so tiny, i havent seen one that tiny before.
Can I use this to connect my ps2 console to a android tablet?
hey AndyRC how far can receive video? wich range have it?
Thank you for your reply, the one I bought has STK1160 chip set, should I get UTV007 instead? Can you give me a link where can I buy this dongle.Thank you.
+Di Bay Rc the STK1160 chip is supported. i dont have a link this was bought off amazon years ago. have a look on ebay or look down the comments a few have posted links to where they got theres cheers
Hey there, my EasyCap works fine on computer, but not on the Easycap app... I just got my EasyCap from Amazon 2 weeks ago, would that be the problem: I mean, the version of the easycap? Any other alternatives to it?(the USB Camera app also does not recognize the easy cap as a webcam...
Thank you!
Could you tell if the easycap viewer app can be used with "3d" goggles with a feature to display "side-by-side" mirrored video from a single composite video source? ( BlitzWolf® VR Glasses for example) Thanks
@AndyRC I tried to look through your videos, I’m trying to get my friend in Nigeria to experience FPV, but only with a simulator. Have you got it to work using usb and simulator app? I got him a basic radio. If you got it working, would you mind sharing your experience
awesome thanks!! is their a way to make it split screen for use with vr goggles like Google cardboard?
+joey dufrene I have done an updated video recently. they have added this function to the app in the last few weeks
Can you please give link for the connector widgets used to connect the cables to the recording unit. Why on earth aren’t they male connectors to begin with?
is there some way to connect you phone direct to your fpv tx??????
Thanks for the good video. It all connects OK and I have the 007 chipset, however I get a partial signal that's very blocky and colourful. I can see shapes so I'm getting some sort of signal. Any idea why?
+Andrew Cummings try switching pal to NTSC I have also had something similar and it was a faulty USB OTG cable
+AndyRC I'm going to order a new USB OTG cable. The fact I'm getting a signal gives me hope, the OTG cable is 5 years old so it could be that.
I've got to stop watching your videos, I'm about to order the all of the parts for the micro quad that I don't need!
+AndyRC I got easy cap working, it was the video lead, I had used one from an old camcorder, when I pulled it out slightly from the receiver it worked. The az capture is also superb. Cheers.
+Andrew Cummings I thought it was some kind of lead issue. glad u got it sorted
Hello!
Could you tell me please if you get blue screen with this app?
Thanks!
Great stuff!
What is the video resolution for this set up? your other video only displayed at 640 x 480, is this better quality, or the same? I set up my (fake easycap) and the video quality is rather poor compared to my 7"FPV monitor.
Ashley Bennett the phone's screen is 1080P the easy cap device is standard def
So the final output is 640 x 480? Do you think there is a way to output at 720 or higher to take full advantage of the phones screen? I thought easycaps were able to output/capture at full 1080? using the same setup but with a laptop instead of phone, will you be able to display a higher resolution FPV?
anyway, keep up the good work, this is super useful video!
Ashley Bennett I dont think easy cap outputs 1080p, i think its outputs the same resolution as dvd. if you are using it for fpv non of that matters because fpv cams are standard def anyways, either way i was really impressed with the quality of easycap on the phone
Im using a gopro hero3 to boscam VTX via usb output, to Boscam 308VRX, to easy cap to samsung galaxy s5. I can only get 640x480.
IF i plug the VRX into my 7" fpv monitor, or 40" tv, i get better (perceived, with no way to measure) quality. Mostly less jagged straight edges, better colour depth.
Have you come across any apps or settings that allow better than 640x480 display? I only ask out of curiosity to push this system to its limits.
Other than that, it works fine for framing aerial videography shots and stills.
Cool dude how much range will it have and how much for all the bits
gadgetman 404 the range.depends on what fpv transmitter and receiver combination you use so which ever one u buy will determine that. the easycap device costs about 11gbp and the otg lead a couple of gbp. all the best
Cheers I look into it
My device gets quite hot. is this normal. I am concerned that it will destroy itself. Thinking about a heatsink or something similar.
hi sir, is asus zenfone max compatible with easycap?
+AndyRC do you think this setup would work for racing quads? is there any delay? or is better to buy quanum v2?
I don't have a racing quad myself. people suggest that this setup wouldn't work for racing so best to go with the quanam
Hello, Thanks for making this video. I just got one from Ali Express and it works perfectly after getting a couple from Amazon that didn't work. I was able to use it with my Samsung Tablet but my Samsung Galaxy S3 will not power the easycap. Do you know where I can get a good OTG cable for Samsung S3? Since that is what I want to use for fpv. I have made the goggles from your video as well.
Sol mag i think if the s3 does not usb otg then it wont work, you could try to look up to see if such a cable exists. i know some people hacked the nexus 4 to use usb otg by powering it separately
AndyRC Thanks for responding, can I use this cable ( shop.valarm.net/collections/cables-connectors/products/micro-usb-host-otg-y-cable-with-micro-usb-power-for-samsung) or do you know where I can get it cheaper? Also, I did not see the AZ Screen recorder in the play store. Did they change the name or it's no longer available?
you can try it but I can't advise it will work
