guys like trappy that made that list i posted use 25mw 5.8 vtx and get 2-3 miles with zero interferrence...... just sayin
You'll notice that list doesn't say it's the only way, but it's how you want stuff to get the best performance.... if 100 feet away 200 feet up is all your after, no sweat. but if you want to get down 2-3 feet 2000 feet out, better follow them rules to a t
all video transmitters are not alike. when i hear 200mw 5.8 it sounds all chineese........ they may or may not work very well. most guys doing this stuff i follow are using immersion and lawmate video gear. even with immersion, to get killer reception like i spoke they use filtered power going into it..... you have to to get really good range, seperation too, not a 450 or 550 frame but an fpv frame... That's what they are.
it probably does step it down,,, but fall filters are not created equal...... alot of fpv trasmission gear is made for video surveilance plugged into a wall outlet. the only one specifacly made for rc that i'm aware of is immersion. the owner actualy flies fpv
the ext regulators and filters are grams, your pack is oz's
When you come around me and ask about fpv, I'm not gonna tell you how to get 300-500-100 meters, i'm telling you how to fly out 5 miles and hit the deck for a ride of your life. Some people are fine fying around 4000 feet up but that aint me, too easy and boring. i want the ground, and i want gobs of it in perfect reception or i won't be confident to get it down out far and hit it hard.
