@davestynes I think I hit, at one time or another, every possible issue: Poor choice of camera, camera lacking lens IR filter, 640tvl camera incompatible with OSD, noisy 12v BEC, badly matched video antennas, noisy 2.4 channel choice, crappy low-bitrate sd card DVRs, ground loop noise in the ground station, bad quality goggles, and finally: video wire running right next to servo wires along the wing.

Hey that is a really nice and clear setup (pat on the back may be in order)
