Waaaaa?

 

He needs one with its own battery pack. A USB powered one would defeat the purpose, yes?

Use a 10,000 mAh battery with USB ports. They're about 40 USD and will support one of those monitors.

What resolution? How are you receiving video?

 

I built my own fpv backpack for $35, coupled with a gopro for higher-res recording - although it's just a matter of getting into the video line from a USB connector and transmitting it.

 

We may be talking different means of approach, but with my $35 DIY backpack, I bought a $20 TFT monitor from ebay running from 5-20v, being powered off power from my radio. Any TFT running from that voltage range is a good option for lower-res FPV. Coupled with something like a naze32 board or cc3d ($16) and an OSD board ($20) into the video feed, you can do pretty much anything.

 

I know it's a very DIY solution, but for any higher-res stuff I just pull the video from my gopro when I've finished flying. lower-res screens can be had for $16 - but if you want a 1080p monitor then how you're receiving the feed becomes more of an issue.

Lol. A very different world to the soldering, cell voltage checking and board programming and calibration of DIY. Seems like you're going for professional/high-end use - maybe check out some aerial photography companies and ask what they're using.
