Re: What do I do! Bad video quality. Hmmm. Looks like ur antennas are good. Mounting sounds correct. You definitely have the dip switches on the Tx all set to "ON"?

Re: What do I do! Bad video quality. What channels do you have them set at exactly? Are these devices xxx5 off? Also what exact antennas are you using? Can you show us a pic of the quad from the bottom that shows antenna placement and direction? How close is the antenna to compass/control Rx? I...

pretty sure these are theantennas.

Congrats on getting back in the air. I've enjoyed your posts in the past, and have looked to them for advice on how to get some distance in my FPV setup. I have to say that I'm a little surprised you got another Phantom. Long range FPV seems to be your favorite flying, and I would think that a...

Thanks QYV! Yes, I have been looking at the helix's the last few days and think that is the ticket going foward. I just took out the copter and by placing the FPV antenna closer to the center axis, away from the compass and control Rx and sticking out slightly past the battery, I got to 700...

NM. I'm a ****. Remember when I said that the Boscam was definitely set to freq 5945? It wasn't. Few tips in case anyone finds this through search: 1. The instructions that come with the Boscam ts353 have a diagram for the freq settings. The black squares signify the positions of the white...

Also, we are flying off a small boat in the middle of a fairly large bay, so line of sight is always there. We are near a small city, La Paz, BCS, so maybe we are getting interference from the cell towers there. But the closest towers are at least a mile away...

Hello, I'm flying a Phantom 2 (Non-Vision) with GoPro3, iOSD Mini, Boscam TS353, IBCrazy Helix Antennas and a Black Pearl Monitor. I basically followed Skypixel.org 's FPV set-up posts. I've got everything working, but I'm only getting 100M before massive static. From what I've read, some...
