Hi Guys,
I've been looking into FPV, and have run into a lot of hearsay and conflicting information. Can you guys put together something that would lay out the pros and cons of the various options?
Stuff like:
Which frequency gives the clearest video?
Which frequency gives the greatest range?
How much power do I need? I see options from 100mW to 1.5W and higher.
Does twice the power give me twice the range? I assume that at some point there are diminishing returns.
At what point do I have to consider a separate power source or separate uBEC for the FPV transmitter?
Does the 2.4GHz FPV transmitter really stomp all over the 2.4GHz RC receiver or does the frequency hopping neutralize that?
Everybody has their own opinion, and I know that answers to all of these questions are relative and come with lots of caveats but I think that something like this is really needed.
Of course it doesn't have to be a "How to" on setting up FPV, you've already done that. Just an explanation of the pros and cons of the various options.
Thanks for everything you guys do.
