FPV range reduced to a few feet after rough landing

Posted by Mark Leon on July 1, 2015 at 12:01pm

Has anyone else had problems with the FPV kit on the IRIS+? I did some risky flying in a mountain top setting and lost lift due to swirling winds. The IRIS+ came down hard but no visible damage. 

However I now have about a 10 foot range before I lose picture. The transmitter is warm but not too hot to touch. 3DR said that it might be the transmitter. 

Anyone know where I can get a new transmitter? I don't see it available at 3DR without buying the whole kit. Thanks much.

      Thanks Dax. I see no damage to the antenna, and hear no rattling or anything. I will search for that 200mW Boscam transmitter, and I guess I should replace the antenna just to be sure.
