Hi all,
I recently purchased the following FPV setup:
Other info about my setup:
I'd love to hear any suggestions/advice. I honestly don't need to go more than 1/2 mile away, I just would like for it to be clean and not full of interference. Thanks!
I recently purchased the following FPV setup:
- TX Skyzone TS58500 32CH 500mW [link]
- RX: SkyZone RC805 5.8Ghz 8 Ch [link]
- Antennas: BW FPV 5.8GHz 5.8G Clover MushroomRP-SMA [link]
- Monitor: Fieldview 777 800 x 480 TFT LCD [link]
Other info about my setup:
- Both the Monitor & RX are being powered by the same 3S 2200 mah LIPO
- My RX is velcroed to the back of the monitor with the antenna pointing up/out at about 45-60 degrees, is it possible that this could be causing interference?
- My TX is velcroed underneath my quad pointing straight backward (parallel to the ground), should I consider a 90 degree adapter to point straight down?
- I've flown in a variety of locations on a variety of the channels. I've flown by the ocean, parks near the city, parks 15 miles away from the city, and there hasn't been a significant change based on location. The inner-city park was probably the best range and I would've expected the most interference there.
- I usually fly fairly low, maybe 100-150 ft. The interference usually starts at 600-1000ft and gets progressively worse to where I can hardly see what is going on at about 1200-1600 ft.
- The furthest I've been able to manage is about 2700ft (1/2 mile) but it was pretty bad interference for most of it. I wouldn't feel comfortable flying with this interference in an area that wasn't completely wide open.
- I did try one flight at about 300ft to see if going higher would solve the issues but if anything it was worse.
I'd love to hear any suggestions/advice. I honestly don't need to go more than 1/2 mile away, I just would like for it to be clean and not full of interference. Thanks!
