I'm saying most pilot's opinions are that linear polarization beats circular polarization. But even if they were equal, linear polarization is a lot cheaper.
Im a beginner could you also show me in pictures what are you talking?I'm saying most pilot's opinions are that linear polarization beats circular polarization. But even if they were equal, linear polarization is a lot cheaper.
I would switch to a 5.8ghz controller. I get over half a mile with the controller and loose video at a little over 3200'.Ok guys Im a bit confused here. I think lol I have what i think was probably phantom 2. Anyways long story short Its now equipped with the factory wifi module, re700 extender and a gopro on a zenmuse. Here is where I'm confused my controller is also a 2.4 controller. I've been working on fpv for about 3 months slowly buying the parts i needed. once I got the gopro to work in the vision app i thought all was good, but i just couldn't get more than 100ft or so. "this is heavily congested wifi area, but still 100ft?' So I thought i would move my antennas outside of the wifi repeater the controller and the wifi side of the bird. my video quality was instant change. As far as range though not much change Ive been following this thread since i got my drone and I would like to get something from tony. I went ahead and shot an email to him about the possibility of my video feed being interrupted by the 2.4controller. an if that was the case would doing something like rhcp on the controller and receiver. Then Do lhcp on the video., He suggested the stage two kit. Im still unsure if that kit will even work with a 2.4ghz remote? Its been two days an i didn't get any answer back from him. Im itching to get some real fpv distance Can someone here shed a little light on whether I need to snag an older 5.8ghz remote and then go for the stage two or if that kit will work just fine with a 2.4ghz remote. Then if they could kindly explain why I only loose video and not vise versa. I've flown well beyond 1000ft with no loss of control just no video feed.
Anyways thanks in advance.
Yes you can do all that CP stuff, but it's a lot of work and a lot of money. So that's why I suggest trying to simply shift the polarity from vertical to horizontal which would cost you nothing. Maybe that would improve things for you. Because when you think about it, most of the people with wifi routers and what-not have their antennas sticking STRAIGHT UP. And that's vertical polarity. So you will try to out-smart them by using horizontal polarity on both ends. And maybe that will help because it might minimize the interference.
Not sure what you mean by "2.4GHz version 3 with the tilt wheel and rechargeable lipo battery."
Can you tell us what the label on the back says? Or show us a photo?
Okay I gotcha.
Did you know that the P2V+ Version 3 controller is as you describe? It has the scroll wheel, and the rechargeable Lipo. But it also has the 5.8 transmitter already in it. So this might save you some time and anguish unless you just enjoy modding stuff.
IIRC, I paid around $50 for it (used) over a year ago...
Preachin' to the choir, broThere is so much information on the net sometimes its to much. Thanks again my friend. Im tapped for now. after two wifi modules, a 5.8Ghz tx and rx, A dedicated tablet,a wifi repeater, replacement shell,two motors and 1 ESC I'm just about done dropping countless amounts of dollars to get fpv. Oh lets not forget a gopro, and a stage 2 FPVLR kit. Ugh
