DYS-700D 5.8GHz 32-Ch Diversity 7" LCD FPV DVR Monitor Receiver with Folding Sunshade

This monitor has now been discontinued, for a great alternative please see the Skyzone HD02.

Our favourite FPV monitor, the DYS-702 just got even better, it's called the 700D. The DYS 700D is the same monitor we love, but now with the addition of a DVR (digital video recorder) built in. As FPV monitors go, it has pretty much got it all; it combines a fantastic 7-inch LCD display with an equally good 32-channel 5.8GHz diversity receiver and now with a DVR too.

The display is one of the best with seen in an FPV monitor. It outputs a high-resolution picture that shows a good level of detail. It also produces a vivid image with accurate colours and a good level of contrast. Some monitors are unusable in sunlight, which is impractical for an FPV monitor - not this one. Its 450cd/m² LED backlit screen is the brightest we’ve used and can be seen easily on the brightest of days. It even comes with a removable sunshade that will help keep unwanted light off the screen to eliminate glare, while also giving it a professional look. The sunshade also folds away to protect the screen when you’re done using it.

Most importantly for FPV users, if the input signal gets weak it does not switch to the dreaded "blue screen" - a problem with many non-FPV monitors whereby if signal strength dips, even for a split second, the screen turns blue! When this monitor suffers from a signal interruption it just shows static and hence this feature allows you to fly much further without losing the image and potentially your drone!

The screen alone makes this a standout monitor, but the inclusion of a 5.8GHz diversity receiver is a real bonus. A diversity receiver is essentially two receivers all in one. In essence, this allows you two mix and match antennas for a solid video link. So it might be that you select a circular polarised omnidirectional antenna, which will provide good reception in all directions in the near field, and a directional high gain patch antenna for long distance flights. The diversity receiver is clever in that it will seamlessly switch between the receiver with the strongest signal. The receiver operates over 4 bands and boasts 32 channels making it compatible with most FPV gear, including ImmersionRC, Fat shark, Boscam amongst others.

Now with the addition of a DVR, the DYS 700D is a complete all in one ground station. The built in DVR lets you record and play back your flight for you and your mates to enjoy over and over again. More importantly, the DVR could also be a life saver for your model. Couple your FPV setup with a OSD (on screen display) and if you lose your model, play back the video to get the GPS coordinates of the crash site. Note that the DVR requires a micro SD card to record footage (supports up to 32GB).

Powering the DYS-700D is straightforward. It has a 7-28 volt operational voltage so you can use a 2 - 6 cell LiPo battery to power it in the field. Its battery compartment will house a 2S LiPo for a neat, wire free solution. If you want to use 3S LiPo it comes with a JST power lead, which plugs into an external power port.

Finally, the monitor has an AV input port and an AV output port. This means that you can use it as just a monitor and feed it with a signal from a different receiver, or you can use the 700D’s inbuilt diversity receiver and output the signal to another display, for instance FPV goggles.

For the best FPV experience we recommend fixing the monitor to your transmitter using our carbon fibre monitor mount sold separately.
