    Guys, need a recommendation on an 8-10" monitor with good resolution, doesn't have to be as good/expensive and SmallHD but I'd like something with a metal frame, and both HDMI and composite RCA input. Any suggestions??

    I saw that Kopterworx just announced a 10" HDMI monitor (189eur, less without the VAT. Looks a lot like the one from FoxtechFPV. And it looks like the Foxtech 10 inch has an HDMI input. I'm happy with my Foxtech. Easy to see outdoors.

    Bill Foxtech shipping was pretty inexpensive and I got my last monitor in about 7 days. Hassle free.

    The HDMI will look awesome if you supply HDMI signal from your receiver.
    Remember any downlink signal is analog. The only way you can get HDMI downlink is if you use the CUBE.
    The HDMI converter converts the HDMIsignal to analog and transmits to the ground. Once there I don't know if you can convert the analog signal back to HDMI in order to view on the monitor. I think so...:confused:

    Or you can get something that like THIS. Hook it up (grille not included) and FLY!!

    And hey, if you can afford the RED then $28-30K for wireless HD is just a blink of the eye.
