    Check antenna system impedance with a VOM. Then test at low, mid and high frequencies and see which yields the best performance as an antenna system will work best at certain frequencies. If everyone did this, they would be amazed at just how good an analog system can be.

      I think this was my issue. Changed frequencies and it's a lot better. Went over a mile the other day down some RR tracks. Zero breakup! Expresslrs is awesome.

      f digital, i love being able to build lightweight compact stuff and i with the "poor quality" i can still see and fly fine

    Second thing would be to change the pigtail. If it doesn't help, change the antenna.

    I set betaflight to low power until armed, but it never went to 800mw. It just stayed at 25mw. Almost lost my 7 inch. Now I just leave it at full power. Something with the older version of BF on the FC, I think.

    • @Delorian555
      @Delorian555 Před rokem

      Same issue here. But the reason for this is this VTX max power is actually 600 mV, not 800 mV. If you change the label and value for 600 and 600 in BF, you will get the proper settings. At least this is what the VTX is indicating by 4 green blinks when armed (with low power disarm on). I have almost lost my quad two times becouse od this. Anyway, even though its blinking 4 times green now, my VTX range is around 400m.

    Hi Joshua great video, it has helped quite a bit however, I have an issue that I’m hoping you can help me with.
    My fpv feed breaks up at about 5 meters on my hglrc Zeus nano 350 mw vtx, is this normal?
    I’ve tried changing the output power and I can’t figure out why everyone else with this vtx is getting a much better fpv feed.
    Help would be much appreciated. 👍

  • @glytch5
    @glytch5 Před rokem +4

    That VTX does seem very under powered as well. I think someone tested it and it was 4 or 5 hundred on the real. I swear my low profile 350mW does better sometimes.

    I don't get more than 1/4 mile range with this vtx and good matching antennae. I noticed that the product page says you need to use a capacitor or the battery noise will worsen the vtx performance. But iflight didn't put a capacitor on the pre-build. Maybe it's just a bad vtx?

    • @XtianApi
      @XtianApi Před rokem

      I have a iflight evoque and there is a little silver cap under the board. Hard to see. But regardless, without a cap you get black banding, but in my experience it doesn't screw with your range.

      Same here, it's ok on 200 though. I think being in a city or near pylons means more interference too

    That VTX sucks... You only get 480mw, not 800mw.
    I changed it for a Speedybee tx800 and the change is like from night to day.

    • @XtianApi

      That's a drop in replacement? Wire connector and mounting holes?

      @TobiasYoderFpv Před rokem +1

      Any chance you could drop me your vtx table? I'm running the same tx800 but the table on the speedybee site has power levels differing from what they advertise the vtx as

    • @TobiasYoderFpv
      @TobiasYoderFpv Před rokem

      Differing as in the table only goes up to 600mw but has it labeled as 800
      Idk what the deal is, mine also had to be soldered directly because the plug would not work at all for some reason
