this is the fpv camera system.this allows you to battle from the cammnders point of view. you can view from goggles . or view from a tv .it is realy cool.

YEEES IT IS!!!

It takes tank battles to a new level. I first saw some videos on Youtube of people in Germany battling in arenas with FPV (First Person Veiw) and I've been dying to try it ever since. It's a lot of fun even in the dark. In the daylight you can even see your BBs trajectory and sometimes the impact. I planned to snap some pics of my Tiger I with the FPV gear on but I stripped the plastic gears and have begun tearing it down for paint and a refit.

Here are some photos of aircraft I have with FPV systems installed. The video googles are on the bed in some of the pics.

nice piece of gear there,where can you buy the FPV from or is it a kit you build up

Most of the time it's better to buy your FPV set up by the peice but you can get package deals and there are a great number of places to atain gear as well. The vast majority of these are illeagal to use without a HAM radio liscense so check you rlocal laws. The best prices I have found are from Hobby King. http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/stor ... entCat=172" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

there are many other great places to get gear and accesories and you can use either a monitor or googles. The googles can be very cost prohibitive. Mine I scored for $50 on Ebay but I had to hack them. Most start around $250. You also need a Tx/Rx, a camera, and a suitable power source. Here are some other places for gear.
