Hi Phantom folk,
I've had my Phantom for a month now and have just started flying FPV. My setup is using a GoPro Hero 3 for the vision along with a Fat Shark Predator V2 system. I also purchased the Immersion RC 5.8 GhZ circular polarised antennas after reading about their superior performance. Here is a link to the ones I bought: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=49827
I immediately installed the Immersion RC antennas but to my surprise, I found that I am only getting about 200 metres range before the video drops out. I've just tried out the standard Fat Shark antennas for the first time and was able to fly 700 metres before turning back due to high wind. At this point, the video was still crystal clear and I assume there is more range to be had from these standard antennas.
This is the opposite of what I had expected. Has anyone else found this?
Many thanks.
