FPV Monitor
A 5.8Ghz dual receiver video monitor. You can see it being used in this post where I used it while testing my DIY FPV camera.
FrSky Taranis X9D Transmitter
A fairly capable and good quality radio transmitter controller for your RC aircraft. The one thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t have a detachable antenna. However, I made a very quick and straightforward modification by replacing the antenna with an SMA connector. This allows me to use different antennas or add and amplifier.
FrSky Taranis Receiver X8R
FrSky Taranis receiver. I used it with SBUS to reduce the amount of wires needed for controlling my quadcopters.

ArduCopter Mega Flight Controller Kit
An Arduino based flightcontroller that I used this on my qudcopter.
LiPo Balance Charger
I got a similar balanced LiPo charger when I first got into the RC hobby. It’s also great for charging and discharging a wide array of other types of batteries.
YI 4K Action Camera
I bought an earlier version of this camera quite a few years ago. At the time I was deciding between buying the GoPro and the YI. In the end, I went with the YI as it was quite a bit cheaper however the video quality was almost as good as the GoPro.
FPV Camera Mini Pan/Tilt Mount
I put this on my quadcopter to be able to pan/tilt the FPV camera. It works well but a few times when I crashed the gears inside the servo motors broke.
