I have a mantis q with a fpv camera on top, but, trying to use a spare laptop as ground station. Would be nice to have the mantis camera screen, 1080 to my PC but would settle for the fpv camera.. Looking for best connection to pc if even possible. thks AH-1G
I think I want to see what is on my Glxy 8 phone screen on my laptop as well.

You can also load some WiFi security cam programs on your PC to view what is coming off the cameras. The free versions usually have only a small image, and a whole lot of controls you don't need. Maybe some of the paid versions will let you go full screen? Been a long time, so don't remember much about it. I used it "back in the day" for adjusting focus on CG01 cameras.
I believe the car wash down town has reasonably large picture. I will check that out. Thank you advice.
Hi @FINNY, did you solve your question?
You only need 5 GHz Wifi connectivity, get an USB Wifi if not built-in.
As @WTFDproject suggested, you can use any stream player RSTP capable. For your PC you may install VideoLAN VLC Player, picomixer PMPlayer, or any other, an connect to rtsp://192.168.42.1:554/live
You may connect several devices/players, only depends on bandwidth, wich decreases with distance. Check attached videos (VLC has a noticeable lag because I forgot to reduce prebuffer, 1 sec. by default).
Be aware that your controller will lose connection for a few seconds every time you establish a new video stream connection, don't do it while flying ;-)
Tip: I had a good time reading your post "making all mistakes" and loved The Kite and its grasshopper appearance, you could try an Arduino or Raspberry Pi and any cheap HDMI glasses for VR
