Using a new Fatshark 5.8 with my 2.4Ghz Futaba controller. I hear folks complaining about 150m outages but I can't get much more than 10m. If I setup the camera without my quad simply turning around…Continue

Bluskyone: I'm sure you are trying to help and after all you took the time to write the response which is mostly correct and all, but the tone was pretty rude. Aspen has a point.
I have also had similar…"
aspenlife replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"Are you replying to me? The original person that posted this? I've long since changed to 600mw and all is fine. Building these things isn't rocket science and I only had a small transmission issue. Your prick response isn't necessary…"
Bluskyone1 replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"All of these videos are shot with 5.8ghz 600mw and Fat-shark predator goggles. Range is fine once you understand how to setup and how radio freq work placement on your vehicle is key to getting the best range. having ham radio license is key and…"
Andrew Polson replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"Wouldn't make that much difference. A lot poeple are going over to 2 x cloverleaf instead now."
Andrew Polson replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"Here in the UK we have big problems with this stuff. 900 & 1.2mhz is a mobile phone frequency in the uk so a big no no. 2.4 no good for obvious reasons, 5.8 the only legally allowed usage but get this.........maximum 10mw!!!!!
So pretty much…"
Brent replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"200mw 5.8Ghz from range video using clover leafs, good out to 1+ mile.
I suspect you have a bad connection somewhere."
Knut Graf replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"Could you possibly have the RX and TX antenna swapped ? That could explain super-low range.
3 lobe cloverleaf goes on the TX (aircraft) and 4 leaf skew planar wheel goes on the RX (goggles).
Regards,
Knut"

"Hi All,
I use 5.8GHz Air Wave DPCAV kit transmitters and receivers. The transmitter is only 200mw so I use two receivers, an Oracle Diversity Controller, and a RMRC/ArduStantion2 tracking antenna and I get pretty good reception within most…"
T.Maclaurin replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"Hi
I have the Fatshark predator v2 series with a 250mw transmitter. On my transmitter I have about 4 little rocker switches which enable me to change channel. I assume that it is the same for all fat shark transmitters. I have a spektrum 2.4 radio…"

Magnus von Rosen replied to aspenlife's discussion Fatshark 5.8 Ghz Terrible Range"I also bougth the Fatshark 100mW system, and just like you, I was disappointed. Got 50 meters, but at low altitude picture was unsafe to fly by at 20 meters.

I tried my new Fatshark 5.8G setup today. I'm using the integrated Fatshark 5.8G RX module, the Immersion 600mW TX and stock antennas. It's the first time I fly FPV so I didn't try to find the range limit but I…"

I would love to use 900Mhz or 1.3Ghz for video, but both are illegal for video transmission in Australia. I…"

- I've always loved everything RC but haven't done much since I was a kid. Recently started hearing about these quadcopters and decide to buy one. Have had some great flying experiences with it but have also struggled. It is a Gaui330x-s and think that the technology just isn't there. Would like to eventually use the technology in the Aspen area for videography of Real Estate, Action Sports, and just the beautiful scenery around here.
