how far is the transmission range on this when in fpv mode?im considering a purchase of this system because the system i ordered from rangevideo is absolute crap.would this be a good fpv system and would it be a good investment.if it isnt, who sells really good fpv systems other than rangevideo and fpvsystems.com. (ive had lots of trouble with these vendors)
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Tom I have not seen one positive review for the FCO3. Range Video stuff is normally very good, you might spend some time with Google looking at antenna designs. The set up of aerials makes a big difference, Not point putting a trillion watts of power into a wet piece of string, yes it will work but not well (and the string will soon dry)

Try Digital Products Co. : www.dpcav.com
However, I think that you will find that a good portion of the systems sold by the various fpv video suppliers all come from the same source: China.
Another outfit that has some good fpv equipment is: www.iftrontech.com/index.html
They are not cheap, but appear to have some good 5.8 GHz transmitters and receivers.
