Finally got all the pieces I needed to make a target camera. Range is out to 5km so will be suitable for all range and gong work. Have tried to list all the instructions so people can have a go themselves.
All products are from Aliexpress apart from the batteries as they don't air freight them so got them off trademe $25 each. I will be using an existing GoPro Hero 3 camera but you could use any form of Handy Cam etc as long as you get the appropriate connectors.
Power source x 3 (One for Camera and Transmitter, one for Receiver and one for Mini DVR)

Get a Lipo charging bag as it’s a much safer to charge them in the bag. They have on very rare occasions exploded.

The Mini DVR is again optional but I thought it would be good to record the Range / Gong shooting. It sits in between the Receiver and the Screen. Don’t worry about what plug comes with it as later on you will cut it and replace with a T-Plug so a Lipo battery can power. You will need a TF memory card (mini – SD common for other electronics)

Last few items are for strapping in the lipos, a cheap tripod and a go-pro tripod mount all not essential but might as well for the project.

Few little things to do such as an adjustable angle so the LCD screen can sit up on an angle or at 90 degrees for better viewing, foam in the bottom section to keep all the other bits together, more secure way of fitting the transmitter and Lipo on tripod oh and some time to actually shoot and use it :) Thanks for looking and I'm happy to try and answer any questions.
