Hey,
My new P2 with Zenmuse and fpv is working great. When I go to very secluded areas, my video feed is perfect. I run a Hero4 black with immersionRC 600mw Tx and circular polarized fatshark antenna (curved down to face ground). As a Rx, I have a 7" blackpearl with one circular polarized fatshark antenna which faces up, and I have linear stock 5.8Ghz antenna pent at 90 deg to the ground as secondary. When I fly at a smaller park near my apartment, the feed is pretty weak, as I believe the condo building nearby has lots of interference. However, this is strange to me bc my video si 5.8Ghz?
Regardless, I never want to have spotty fpv signal / feed inside of 500m or as far at 1KM. I see people using big heli antenna and plate style things - if I want to upgrade one or both antenna, what is suggested. I'd be willing to pay up to $100 on something probably. Cheers.
1) If I want to upgrade one or more antennas on my monitor for stronger video feed, what style antenna would you suggest? I get super strong signal when secluded, and spotty feed in some locations.
2) What is the best orientation for the antenna on the video Tx on the UAV - sideways or downwards / bent downwards? I have mine on the rear of the drone, facing backwards, and curved down towards the ground.
3) Please confirm - I am pretty sure the best orientation or the RC transmitter antenna is sideways, parallel with the ground?
4) If I would like to upgrade my RC transmitter to something with top tier reliability, what would you suggest that would give me a performance boost but not be top of the line / bank breaker?
