BT-300 HDMI input?

[crazyju]

I have seen the cable that you can attach and use the bt-300's with 5.8 analog. Would a Hdmi to micro usb adapter work to get video from a tv or say the new smart controller?

Are you suggesting that the BT300 would take a USB video in and display it through the glasses? Which app would you run to do that? This is what the BT-35E does.

No.

They were supposed to release an HDMI input module but it never came.

I am pretty sure this device will work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CI08N6...olid=2SUNW577BKODA&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
The company has an app that will run back to Android 4.0. As long as we could get the app sideloaded it should work the same as the the box for the bt-35?

Maybe...It will work with movies and other devices, but you still have the same problem when you go to fly a drone...where do you plug in the controller???

Got it...yes...that should work, I would think. As long as you have some software to play the HDMI input on the BT-300. Hopefully minimal lag.

I have ordered the cloner wand and will test it out. I would love to have the smart controller and the glasses. While i am on the boat, I could just use the controller, and for the rest of my flying I could attached the moverios.

It does hardware encoding so is likely to introduce significant lag. With analog FPV you had to always avoid those with built-in encoding since they would add enormous lag, sometimes as much as 1-2 seconds.

Well the lag wasnt over 1 second, but it is too much for me to fly with it. On to plan B. How much bigger are the BT-35 over the BT-300s?

The 35E control box is very small (3.25"x2"x.5") and lightweight like a cable adapter. You still need your device, however (your laptop, phone, whatever...). I don't have the 35E glasses, but I doubt they're substantially bigger.

What about the glasses? They are bigger than the BT-300? I am getting the smart controller to connect them to.

I edited my previous post after the initial...so you didn't see. I don't have the 35E glasses...so I don't know. But I can't imagine they're all that much bigger than the 300s. YOu can always use the 300 glasses with teh 35e box.

And my opinion is, the cumbersome part of this is going to be the HDMI cable anyway.

By the way, you're lucky you got your smart controller already...I just read an article that said they're unavailable in the states because they're awaiting FCC clearance - and that's on hold due to the gov't shutdown.

That just ended on Friday, they are now shipping in the US.

I know the shutdown isn't over...I wonder how they got around that?
