Hello from Prague , Czechia

Hello fellow FPV enthusiasts from Prague, Czechia!

I'm absolutely thrilled to join this vibrant community! My FPV adventure began not so long ago with a DJI FPV, quickly escalated to an Avata, and now, here I am with a full-blown fleet of 20 drones. My wife, seeing the growing swarm, is playfully shoving me toward the garage.

My drone passion covers everything from nimble cinewhoops to majestic long-range models. I’ve even dabbled with octocopters, which naturally led to my latest hobby: 3D printing.

I recently got my hands on a GEPRC Mark4 LR10, hoping to capture the stunning vistas of the Dolomites near Seceda. Though I’m still tuning things up at the RC airport, I’m battling a frustrating problem. Despite looking like a Martian with antennas sprouting everywhere, my long-range setup doesn’t seem to want to go past the 1km mark without the video feed turning into a jittery mess. So much for the 10 km promise, right?

Here’s what I’m working with:

• GEPRC Mark4 LR10 with a RAD VTX 5.8G 2.5W
• Radiomaster TX12 + BetaFPV ELRS Micro TX 915
• Skyzone Cobra X V2 goggles, sporting a pair of GEPRC triple feed patch array 5.8G antennas

Any tips on extending my flight range beyond this pesky 1km limit would be incredibly welcome! I'm eager to learn from all of you and hopefully resolve this signal issue once and for all.

Cheers!
