Updated power test: czcams.com/video/Gc6J1t7j2-w/video.html
Please note: I did let the VTX cool down for at least 5 minutes between each test.
The pigtail that I used is the same one that was tested with the TBS UnifyPro32 HV VTX and I highly doubt that it's faulty.
I see that you're using a 10dB attenuator. Correct? The power you wrote also corresponds to the power your Immersion RC power meter reads. I don't have the ImmersionRC power meter but I do have access to a proper spectrum analyzer. Does the ImmersionRC power meter account for the attenuator you put it? Like, can you setup it up so that it adds XXXdB attenuation to whatever attenuator you installed and whatever the power meter reads? I tried my AKK ultimate fx2 in our lab. But, it was a rather quick test. Like 2-5mins quick... I will do proper measurements in the future but I notice that AKK's have a wide bandwidth. If you actually measure the integrated power over a certain bandwidth like say 10MHz or more, it's outputs shit loads of power! But at the central frequency, it sucks. czcams.com/video/y5wnpPneznc/video.html
Yes, you can adjust the attenuator value on the ImmersionRC power meter. Thanks for your test and input - I will run a couple of more test and in case I will get results the differ significantly from my previous findings - I will share it with you.
@@KremerFPV do you have a spreadsheet with all the measured power results of the VTXs you've tested? If so, please can you provide me with the link?
Kind regards,
Ridvan
@@narnasqueneth I don't have a spreadsheet with all the measured values, but maybe I should create one, thank you.
@@KremerFPV Hi Gal- any progress on the spreadsheet? Very keen viewer here and would be good to have all your results collated in one place so your viewers can decide what to buy on the price vs power /value graph :-)
Thank you for all the efforts in measuring/testing/editing ..we all appreciate each and every effort made. Very informative info.
Thanks Alan, I appreciate it. Please see my pinned comment for an updated power test.
I've done the same test on my vtx and the quality of the pig tails makes a huge difference.
Yes, of course - it's important.
@MAD GRUMPYMANI don't know why they use bad pigtails but some do. That little RF meter is a great device to diagnose those type of problems. Including sometime the antenna shorting to the frame. Have had that happen a couple times too.
Should i avoid using pigtail and connect lollipop foxer directly to the vtx?
Gal you gotta test different pigtails, they are known to cause low output, bardwell found this out testing tbs unifys ..try rg316
@@MyJam1981 well you could use a long mmcx antenna to reach vtx but mmcx antennas are skinny and dont hold shape well, then sma helps with mounting securely then allows the antenna to get out away from carbon and provides strain relief in crashes
Thank you very much for your excellent tutorials. Im not expert, I decided to start with the AKK 1600. For you which ones better, AKK 1600 or Dominator 2000?...Please, continue to do tutorials without blah blah, also with omni and directional antennas, your tutorials are 100% much better! Muchas Gracias.
Thank you very much. I think that the Dominator is better than the 1600 as it has a better LC filter and it's more powerful.
Great testing, dude! 😊
Take care with the power meter. Some pigtails fooled Joshua Bardwell. And... Well, it was a mess with TBS. 😐
Thanks! I try to use the sane pigtail on all my tests and as far as I tell it's pretty good.
POWER...
Have you tried to measure the power without the added attenuator ? Excluding the higher output level ?
Please see my pinned comment.
The power level never even went close to 1 watt but yet it’s rated for 2watts 🤔?!?! Akk has always been crappy vtx to me I’m still waiting on the TBS unify pro32 hv vtx test! Bought one for myself but it’s still in the package. Let’s see the results for the long range test.
I will only test the TBS VTX in 3 weeks once I will be back from my vacation :-)
Gal Kremer hey enjoy your vacation my friend I can wait. Still waiting on my new frame to install the vtx in so I’ll wait but I know the results are going to be awesome!
@@matfever2386 Thanks Mat! Sounds good.
If you don’t mind answering what channel do you usually run on your vtx, it’s so many idk witch one to choose, and i really want the closet i can get to the best signal.
Sure - normally I use 5740 (F1). The optimal frequency depnds on the antennas that you're using.
Do any vtx's put out advertised power? Thx for testing . Good info.
🤘😁👍
Thanks for watching!
Unify pro hv
@@marcozupancic5348 ...funny u say that, I have two birds with those vtx's. Crystal clear 1km out.
🤘😁👍
Hi Gal, two batterys on yor quad, why ?
Long range guys use 2 in parallel for long flight times
@@flo-ridafpv5713 Thank Bro.
Hi, yes, it should extend the flight time.
How about my reciever. Should be 1000mw also?
Receiver is just a receiver, it doesn't transmit anything :-)
What is power consumption of the vtx while on 2W rf power?
I didn't test it out, sorry.
About 10W, so quite toasty, hence the large heatsinks, need plenty of airflow.
I think this video is just for entertainment. A friend of mine and i did a 2.5km flight only with 2 omnis, the diversity switched just after 2km to the helix and we endet up with 10km range on 600mw EWRF vtx with perfect video. On a AKK ulti with 1200mw could we go over 3km with great video on omnis, so what you did on 25mw was ok, depending on your rx setup but on 2w you have to test it at least over 20km range. I would guess 2w are good for about 4km omni antenna reception or bando penetration, over all just a overkill vtx for quads or rigs under 20km effective range
And is your RF meter defective or the vtx weird? 800mw should be something about 30dbi, the readings shows less measurments in mw and dbi as expected
Please see my pinned comment.
I cant see any pinned comment 😁
Now?
What RX system are you using Gal Frsky R9 or TBS Crossfire ?
TBS Crossfire lite. In this video it was set to 2000mw.
750mw measured at 2w setting? is that good and normal or its bad?
Disapointing bad. At 1.5w would i say ok take my money but that? There is a issue somewhere
Please see my pinned comment.
Are u using 9v or 12v input?
Battery input (4s)
Gal Kremer a 4s just for vtx?
@@orlabenlarsen1831 No, to power the entire quadcopter... The vtx is connected to the vcc battery pads of the fc.
Gal Kremer okay, i also have my vtx connected to my FC but what is the output volt for vtx. I can choose 5-9-12v for vtx.
@@orlabenlarsen1831 You can use either 9v or 12v if you'd like.
Miss your accent :( you no talk no more
Of course I do talk :-)
@@KremerFPV no the last few videos that popped up didn't have that awesome accent thought you were going down a Different approach to your videos but then you uploaded with commentary again 😅
Where was the "long range" test?
