Hey Benny, are you using the 200mW 5.8GHz FPV gear from hobbyking? How do you find the range? I have a bixler and fly in launceston and on the east coast, and wanna pull the trigger on FPV :) Very nice video BTW :)
@slowlorrisFTW I have ordered a 14 db Patch with another receiver and a Eagle Eyes FPV Ground Station. Im assuming this will double my range out till about 4 kms. Also got a dragonlink long range RC system which should give me 20 kms. Let me know if you have anymore Q's. I will have a brand new Zephyr2 rolling out of the garage soon for fpv.
@slowlorrisFTW Yeah I am using FoxTech 200mW 5.8GHz with the stock 2dBi transmitter antenna and upgraded the receiver antenna to a 5dBi. With this set up I have tested it to 1.8km and still a strong picture.
@slowlorrisFTW The Rx antenna is off that himodel website also(himodel.com/electric/FPV_5dBi_5.8G_All_Direction_Antenna.html). I bought all my fpv gear from there because hobbyking was a little low on stock and the prices were very similar.
I thought 5.8 ghz 200mw was illegal in Australia?

I also grabbed another receiver for the patch will increase the range from 1.8 kms to a range that is unknown yet.
