2 VTX with Futaba 8fg

[ksrimoungchanh]

For those who have the S800/Zenmuse and Nex5, users

In the 2 man operation setup, I want video feed individually for pilot, and one for the Zenmuse Operator.

So, I was told that the NEX5 connects to the Zenmuse via HDMI
then the Zenmuse connects to the VTX via the 3 wires...

I am planning on using the Gopro for the pilot.

Question would be, with my futaba 8fg FASST 2.4, what 2 VTX channel can work together and not interfere or have the lowest risk between all three. I know my environment so I am aware of the cell providers service channel here.

BTW: I also have the 900 datalink on my other F550, but randomly have both up in the air at the same time. No long distances needed.. within 1/2 mile (.8km) or so.


Suggestions? brand if possible? I am sure I have to keep VRXs far apart.

reason way, I need something is that when the MC gets up in the sky, my dept perceptions seems to be more off now days. When I think I am 150ft away, with the sky behind it, is actually 100ft or maybe 200ft.. that is scary when there is a object, on the other side of the MC, and I cannot judge the space between. I have keep it away from hitting anything, but each time, it is a guess. I would like to have a FPV view in front also, while the camera operator has this. Keeps him from having to swing his camera to help me out and loose our shot.

1 video transmitter can feed as many receivers as are in range. in other words, i'd stick with one transmitter and just give everybody a receiver. like tv where a channels transmits a signal and everybody that catches it can watch it.

if not, your gonna flirt with all kinds of interference problems. 1.3 would be a good place to start, but it can interfere with the dji sattelite. seperation is your friend

If you thought you still need 2 vtx, use a 5.8 and a 1.2 or 1.3 for the least problems.

the readymaderc 1.3 vRx's that have the saw filters or the lawmate 1.2 receiver is all good. the lawmate transmitters are all good, keep it as low power as possible to reduce problems

Thanks for the input Kloner. so is low power 100-200mw? I assume the clover leave is a must.

100-300mw would be perfect. on 1.2 or 1.3 i'd just use the rubber duck antennas since everything CP is massive at that range, like 5" across........ but the 5.8, any 5.8 needs it to have half a chance. in your case i'd look at the immersion cp antenna set. there closed off, will totally work at the ranges your talking fine and won't rust over time or get hung up transporting.
