Review of the Boscam Galaxy D4 with Build in DVR with photos - at Heliguy ... Read More

This monitor has a foldable sunshade which also acts as a screen protector when not in use. The unit looks well designed and strong.

What's in the box of the Boscam Galaxy D4

There is also a charger included separately when you buy it from heliguy.com. It also comes with deans and XT60 connectors if you'd like to run it from an external battery and a AV lead for inputting and outputting audio and video. doscam-d4-3.jpg There is for 4 antennas for great diversity to help you keep maximum signal. There is also a door on the back for fitting the battery. doscam-d4-5.jpg One of the great features of this monitor is that it has a built-in DVR for recording your flights on to an SD card. There is also a AV in and an AV out so this monitor can be used for other jobs or like playing videos and DVDs. doscam-d4-6.jpg There is only 6 buttons so the monitor is very easy to use. Pros

  • Large bright  4:3 screen so you can finally have the correct  ratio  for your FPV Cameras :-)

  • Well built, high quality plastic

  • Clean design, not many switches/buttons to fiddle with

  • Built in battery bay and built in DVR

  • Foldable sunshade which acts as screen protector when not in use

Cons

  • The only thing i did not like as with all FPV monitors it does not have Active deinterlacing so it won't get the maximum quality from an analog input :(
