Hi guys, I wanted an fpv monitor that had a receiver built in. 
\nLooking around online there’s some for around $100ish but I already had a spare Sony LCD meant for a reversing camera, and a spare RC832 so I<\/p>\n

<\/progress><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n figured I would give it a shot !
\nI disassembled both first, and was pleased to find a little free space in the LCD. <\/p>\n

I positioned things around a bit and used a sharpie to Mark things out to get an idea of if this was feasible. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIt looked like it would work !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cables it had were huge and thick and had multiple connectors and Yada Yada I didn’t want all that so I just soldered to the convenient break out connector !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did some final position testing and drilled some holes for the buttons and antenna connector, also drilled a hole and filed it a bit for the LED display on the receiver to see which channel we are on. 
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hooked it up and tested everything before routing the power cable through a hole, the hole I drilled inadvertently had a connector right in front of it when ibsealed up the case, this conveniently served to compress the cable and provide strain relief!! (The connector was unused anyway!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything sealed up and working !<\/p>\n

Crude holes but meh they work !
\nIt has a tripod screw hole in the bottom and that slot for mounting. I’ll sort something out to mount it later. 
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It has the option to disable blue screen so I can always get as much image as possible even with low signal !
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Runs off a 3s lipo. <\/p>\n

Not much room inside for anything else or I would have tried to fit something inside to power it…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Picture looks great ! It’s super bright so should be visible outdoors well enough. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Das me<\/p>\n

That’s all for now ! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
