Cliffs: Works with the items linked in the video. About $140 for me via prime (with a little flexible tripod with phone holder).

You know the drill: Saw a product, thought "damn that's spendy for what it does". Followed by "someone built one cheaper". Off to google, and here we are. I'm always skeptical of this stuff, but so far so good.

I ordered the stuff out of the links. I accidentally ordered the dual antennae receiver, but luckily the the clover leaf antennae comes in a two pack.

I may have missed it in the video, but the only additional step was to hold down the USB button on the receiver for a few seconds until it found the camera.

Thinking about sticking it a tuperware with a hole for the lens, just to keep some dirt/ splatter off.
 
I made one a few years ago using a transmitter and reciever and camera for a drone setup. I was only able to get about 500yards. I only spent about $60. I got distracted and never spent any more time with it. Maybe I need to dig it back out.
