"The difference is that if the GoPro WiFi is on, the interference is at your IRIS.  As the signal gets weaker between the IRIS and your transmitter, the likelihood of interference from the WiFi increases.  With you using WiFi from your phone to you…"

"Thank you!  "

"That's a good question.  My guess as to why the CP antennas are talked about/used more with the video is that there is a lot more bandwidth required (not sure if that is an accurate term for analog video, but you know what I mean) for the video…"

"I've found Christian Elsen's installation guide very helpful as well.  There are many different ways to skin this cat.

I ended up using the 3DR FPV kit (…"

"Sweet.  I wish I had known about this option a month ago.  While I'm happy with my solution, yours is a bit cleaner and would have easily met my needs, and had been cheaper too (as I don't yet need to be charging in the field)."

"That's a nice looking charger!  Can it output above 50W on AC power, or do you need to go to the external DC power for the higher charging rates?"

"Mike, did you try a long press on the Menu button instead of a short press?"

"I bought a Turnigy 8150. It will require a DC Power Supply as well, but it'll go up to 150W, which as you get larger batteries, will allow you to charge more rapidly. https://www.hobbyking.com/.../__7523__Turnigy_Accucel_8... For a power supply,…"

"As I mentioned elsewhere, thanks for taking the time to write up some a wonderfully detailed and illustrated guide!  I'll be sure to put this to use as I set up my FPV configuration.

"If you are running the Beta code, I think you will get better/faster answers in the Beta forum."

"Great stuff.  Thanks very much for taking the time to summarize and post.  Now that the Iris+ has been announced, including an upgrade kit (supposedly for $200) it'll be interesting to see what happens next.

"Very nice!  I assume the farmer was aware of your activities beforehand?  Otherwise, I can just imagine him thinking, WTF?" :)

It looked like there were power lines diagonally across the field.  Lots of planning went in to the nice work.  Great job."

"What a great thread and some great, thoughtful replies!  Such a shame this is in the "Unassigned" category, as I usually only view the main page and the IRIS section.  I wonder if this can be moved to the IRIS discussion area?

I got my IRIS (with…"
