Skyzone M5 Diversity FPV Monitor
The Skyzone M5F 5.8 GHZ FPV monitor with DVR is a high brightness 5-inch monitor integrated with steadyview analogue FPV receiver.

The onboard DVR records at 60FPS MJPEG Format.

Daylight Readable, Excellent Reception, Many Input Modes, Mounting and Power Options
Powering mine from a single 18650 battery (not included), but you can use USB or DC. As a test I ran an HDMI from my PC to a HDMI-to-AV converter and fed the Skyzone M5. It looks fine and so not only can this receive analog drone video, it can also take input from just about anything with the right converters. If it's too hot to wear my Walksnail goggles, I can just send the HDMI to a converter and feed the Skyzone M5. The display has a screw hole just like cameras and GoPro action cams, so you can chest mount it or stick it on a tripod. It's a great alternative to goggles. The display is bright, which is the only way flying during the day without goggles can work. (Unless you get a 1500 nit+ flagship phone for 800$ or more!) The DVR quality is very good considering it captures at 60fps. So it's a 480p display, fine, it won't win awards nor is it a DSLR field monitor, but it's perfectly useable, and AFFORDABLE. The DVR playback can also save your drone and help you recover it in case the beeper dies due to power loss. Use it. Throw a memory card in there and aways record your flights. The monitor is also fun for your line-of-sight spotter that can enjoy your view while still maintaining an eye on that little black spot in the sky .. your drone.
