The "FPV" term, especially as it refers to RC vehicles, implies you are transmitting the video wirelessly. The term "digital" in this context re

Cheap action cam/Akaso EK7000 on 5" drone?

What makes you consider this specific action cam? What I saw on YouTube looks terrible and that was not even drone footage. Take a look at the Runcam Thumb Pro or just get a used GoPro. That $50 for the Akaso EK7000 is wasted money.

Brand new builder

You could take any analog cam and hook up the yellow camera wire straight to this mini DVR and it should on theory record to an SD card. https://a.co/d/0eqO5yZ9 Then you would just need a USB to power the DVR and a source of 5v power for the camera. Wouldn't be too complicated but in the end you are

Kayoumini is all the rage. HDZERO build.

No. This is the RunCam Thumb Pro 4K V2 (W). Runcam 2 is a bit heavier (25g vs 16 grams), but this lifts it below 25 percent throttle, so probably similar. Oh and it runs down to 3.1v so works of the balance plug!

Getting into fpv (appreciate any tips)

With 200€ you can get the skyzone cobra x. In germany they cost about 180€ ish used and got 720p, decent dvr steadyview reciever and a hdmi in port for a vrx (analog/walksnail/hdzero) or the sim. If you want a affordable, small and lightweight action cam later on then look into the runcam thumb pro
