so.. Ive just done my first flights with a traditional 5" drone, coming from the DJI FPV....
I've got a few questions, which are partly expectation.. partly 'is it right'..
Im running a 5" with a DJI Air Unit, Googles v2 , with Crossfire Micro TX v2 in Radiomaster TX16s , and Crossfire Nano RX. (stock T antennas?)
I've tried fcc/1200mW to DJI on Ch1 and I tried crossfire at 500mW (868mhz)
The thing is... Im getting about only 400m meters from this, before crossfire goes down to about LQ 1:80%
also the video seems to start breaking up pretty quickly too..
Im a bit surprised about this, given the DJI FPV (on 2.8ghz) can do a few kilometers in the same flying area....
(Id say this is worst, than im getting with the DJI FPV in CE on 5.8ghz)
also I understood even at low wattage , crossfire can do kilometers.... I know I can crank up crossfire power, but id have thought 500mW would be completely fine for 1-2km in open countryside, which is max i need.
similarly, Im a little confused whats going on with the googles/air unit
I see they are fixed to 5.8ghz, whereas i usually use 2.4 for range - but even so, given the power, it still seems low.
any thoughts?
