After a fair amount of frustration with the build, I just finished building a Gremlin, which came with a FX805 camera and VTX combo with a dipole antenna. I also bought the FXT Viper goggles. Everything works, except that my video range is terrible. I thought maybe this was a result of the dipole antenna on the VTX, but there are numerous videos on the internet where people are flying the same quad with a dipole antenna and getting MUCH better range than I'm getting.
I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. Should I replace the antenna on the VTX with a circular polarized one? That seems to be possible. Should I upgrade the antennas on the goggles? I'm currently using just the stock dipoles, but I'm not sure what I'd upgrade to.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
