Hello everybody,
I had my first few fpv flights today and i ran into some issues with my video link.
I'm able fly 100-150+ meters high but only 150-270m in distance.
Video link range test #1:
166m
Video link range test #2:
260m
The end point = no video at all
My first thought was that 5.8Ghz wifi networks were the problem so I changed my frequency to 5945Mhz but it didn't help.
Gear placement in my plane:
My setup:
808 keychain cam #16 (10Mb/s average video data rate 720P)
5.8Ghz 200mW boscam vtx ->cloverleaf (is facing up)
RC305 vrx -> Skew planar wheel (is facing up)
HK simple osd running CL-OSD (home arrow, distance etc...)
Multiplex Twin Star II running a brushless set
They all share one 3S2200 battery
Day 2:
[5945 Mhz]
I have made an LC filter for the video transmitter using a ferrite tube style core and wrapped my positive wire around it 10 times. For the capacitance value I used 2200uF 25V and fitted it into the plane.
The result was a minimal improvement of 20-30 meters in gained distance.
At the end point my screen is basically filled with static.
Tomorrow i plan to move my cloverleaf antenna on the wing / tail for the fresnell zone effect.
Does anybody else have any tips / suggestions ?
Thanks Spikee
