No. A) There's not many cams (yet) for 16:9 and B) 4:3 is better for flying faaast

From what i hear the new Dominator SE (i think is the right name? the black/orange one) is a good compromise in quality/value. It has standard resolution (which is not a problem since most cameras deliver just that) but a bigger FOV (which is good especially for lenses <2.8mm) than the well-proven old Dominator V2.

EDIT: Attached a pic, size comparison between that immersion 600mW and a newer type with pigtail.

I went with Eachine VR D2 5 Inches 800*480 40CH Raceband 5.8G Diversity FPV Goggles with DVR Lens Adjustable RHCP £75 [www.banggood.com], I can always upgrade I just want to start somewhere. Thanks for the picture.

List looks good.

Just that with the tri-blade props and the high-kV motors you might get high current under full load, probably close to esc specs. Should fly safe though, imho.
