180QX Great for FPV (Review)

I bought a 180Qx for indoor fpv because that's was all I thought it could handle.  After I got it and flew it fpv for a while in my house I decided to try it outside.  Impressively it was able to fly over 1000ft away and handle over 20 mph winds.  Fpv with this thing is a dream indoors and outdoors as well.  I fly with fatshark attitude SD goggles and I also use a Walkera TX5805 video camera/transmitter combo.  The narrow lens is the only drawback only 45 degrees.... Come on now.  I found a 130 degree lens of FPVHOBBY.com for nano cameras and it should greatly improve the fpv viewing quality.  You get about a 50 meter range with the transmitter, so about 300ft before it gets too glitchy to fly safely.
