Not that I know of. You have to check local requirements. But the power used in these systems is so low that no one going to bother you anyways. If your going to set up a long range set up then you might have issues with the ham license.

Lee the goggles pictured in the ad are not the current ones used. That system has the Dominators in it now. Or you can substitute predators and save a little cash.

For license free use in the USA, the video Tx's Effective Radiated Power is less than 1mW (.001W) and the Tx must have a valid FCC Part 15 Reg ID label on it. Otherwise, it will need to conform to the amateur radio rules.
This includes 900MHz,2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz
If you get a ham license is all up to you.

Yes, you are right....the Morse Code portion was eliminated.
Yes, you are right again....there will be some studying needed to get the Technician License, which is what's needed as a minimum for legal FPV usage. There is alot of online help that I've found and I've been going over it for the past several months (off and on, of course, lol). I have a friend that took the test. He said that it's a 35 question test and you can fail 9 questions. That's really not that bad. We'll have to wait and see what happens and I'll share my experience later on.

+1 Goggles... It gives you a better feel that you are riding on your plane and or quad... They can be used with any size TX and RX no limit...
Even though I will be adding a screen to my Ground station for bystanders to watch....LCD 8" or 10"

I should have clarified. I was talking about the goggles that have the built in Tx. I know you can hook them up and ONLY use the video feed but something like the fatshark goggles that are all in one have no AV box on a ground station, only in the goggles.

That's not quite right bro. The fat sharks that have the built in RX, the RX is just a pugin module. You still have av plugs in them. There is a panel, one on either side. One is for an RX and the other is for the OSD.

Look at this picture of the dominator goggles. You can see the two panels in the corners tat you remove and insert the boards fir the RX! These are the goggles that Lee and I have. I ave the RX for the giggles and a compete diversity system that I currently use. I haven't had time to set up the wireless system yet. But Lee and others swear by them!

The internal RX with a 600mW TX is good for a couple of miles, which is a huge range for any FPV pilot, and for the beginner, 200m feels like miles away. I started with the Dominator goggles and a separate Chinese RX/TX that worked very well, but i wanted the simplicity of the internal set up with no cables hanging around. The two panels on the goggles are for the TX and the Head tracking system if you want that.
