Wondering how good a $40 FPV monitor/reciever could be? I was! So, in this video we'll look at the ReadytoSky 4.3" 5.8ghz First-Person-View reciever/monitor, which is currently the cheapest one on Amazon at ~$40.
BOTTOM LINE: Turns out you do get what you pay for; It would be much better to spend around twice as much (~$100) and invest in a unit that has features like a bigger screen, DVR, and diversity.
NEGATIVES: low quality, poor reception, small screen.
BRIGHT SIDE: compact size and built-in battery makes it easy to carry as a screen for spectators.

COMMENT BELOW what is your experience with this monitor? What alternative would you recommend?
(BTW, this monitor (or at least one that appears identical) can be purchased for far less if bought directly from an overseas company like Banggood. So, if you don't mind waiting a few weeks, and don't expect any customer service, that may be a better option than Amazon)
