    Video range- terrible!

    Thanks, I'll check that one out too before I pull the trigger. BTW, I flew at my mom's place on thanksgiving, much less densely populated, i.e. less wifi congestion, but still with above-ground power wires... I made it to about 850 ft before the video signal froze... better but still not great...

    Video range- terrible!

    I did some flying in my neighborhood last night and got a bit better results. This time I took it up to 200' for one test and 400' for another. In both cases, I got out about 600+ feet before the video signal froze. A lot better than 200-something. End of this week we're headed to my mom's...

    Hey all. I've been flying for about 4 years now, started with toy quads, and moved up to building a ZMR250 and flying FPV. I've also designed and printed (at home) my own frames for 120 mm brushed FPV quads. I also fly a "Tiny Woop" Blade Inductrix that I added FPV gear to and swapped in hot...

    Thanks. I've only been flying it in angle mode, I've been flying for a while so it's no problem. And I grew up driving RC cars, so it's instinctual for me that the controls are reversed when headed toward me. I love the arrow for telling orientation though, super handy to have!

    Video range- terrible!

    Thanks again for the replies guys. I'll report back after I try a higher altitude and less Wi-Fi congested area. I may invest in the upgraded antenna, would be nice to have the extended range, even if I don't use close to all of it. Does the antenna on the camera need to be upgraded too?

    Video range- terrible!

    Thanks for the replies fellas. I'll try and take it somewhere more open and see what happens. I'll also try it again here at a higher elevation and see if that makes any difference. Another thing I noticed, it seems to take a long time to connect the video signal between the quad and the...

    Hey all. Newb here. Been flying self-built quads for years, but recently bought a used q500+ from a guy at the local RC car track. I've only flown it a couple times so far. This time I took it out about 250 feet and the video signal froze. Brought it back near me and I regained video feed. Did...
