Best FPV Video EVER! | FPV Video FIX That Almost Looks Digital

Here We Have Super Clear & Clean FPV Video, Finally!
UPDATE 2024:
Interestingly enough, I believe as the manufacturers cram more and cheaper components in ever smaller spaces, this video will become more relevant - unfortunately..
I wire everything this way. I have an HGLRC AIO that had nearly unflyable video and was cleared up with my "isolate-it" method. The thing to understand is that your video system is completely isolated from the flight controller when doing this; However, we need to send the video from the camera through the OSD chip. Therefore, we need to have redundancy for those grounds and a stronger ground for the flight controller at that intersection (directly to lipo ground). Current flow, EMF, signal interface, etc. follow the path of least resistance to ground - we want to create a clear path for that and not through the OSD chip of the flight controller.
Each contact point from our video system (FPV components) needs to have a redundant ground to the main lipo ground (in summary)..
Hope this helps...🍻

Great video even in 2024!!! Quick question, I plan on using a foxeer reaper aio, t-rex cam, tbs unify hv. Would the procedure still be the same even with a Aio? Also what would be the best way to add ground redundancy? . Thanks much!

Hello Everyone! Thank you for checking out my channel and subscribing. This has taken me a long time to get out to you. I wanted to get it right. I have been a little down with everything going on but I'm happy to share with you my fix to get absolutely clean FPV feed into your goggles.

You've thanked me enough with the wonderful and encouraging feedback.. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@imothy]

nice video, great tips. Hey I wanted to just share a little info I discovered, regarding that "flannel shirt" effect you mention. I wasn't sure if you are running crossfire, but in 2 of my builds i've come across that flannel shirt effect and i've been able to resolve it by changing my camera wire length. Basically, if your camera wire is the same length as your receiver antenna's active element, it will pick up that frequency and mix it into your video signal. So when you cut your wires, measure them precisely and make sure they aren't tuned into your RX feed! I've done this twice now, on 2 builds and amazed at how it clears up the picture!

[@propsoff]

This is super interesting information!!! I'm not running Crossfire but Rxsr and XM+ Frsky.. However, I will have to play around and cut my camera wire to 32.8mm as my receiver antenna and see what happens... I appreciate your feedback and support...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@guerrillaradio9953]

How much difference in length does it seem to take before it doesn't couple anymore? Like 1cm on a 2.4 connection, more, less, or just have to experiment? Reading this is a DUH moment for sure, lol. Thanks!

[@imothy]

@@guerrillaradio9953 first compare your wire length with the active element on your receiver antenna, if it isn't anywere close to the same length you might have some other issue. But in my experience, i have 3 crossfire builds, I actually had the same issue on all 3 of them, I cut roughly 10mm off of the camera wire, ground 5v and camera, and it totally cleared up on my systems.

[@propsoff]

@@imothy Yeah, making the ground wire twice as long and wrapping in around 5v and signal does help.. I should grab my Crossfire stuff and mess around, but I have been in a hobby slump (no money/no parts available).. Sort of a Bummer!

Most of my issues stemmed from my 915MHz telemetry TX, but now it's even clear as this video with that running full power! Now stuff it all into a full carbon pusher prop jet...still looks just as good as long as I use all external antennas. I have a love/hate relationship with carbon fiber...

[@cantifpv669]

As an electronic technician, you did a really good job at laying out what you did and why. I have been looking to get a better image out of my FPV gear and you about hit the nail on the head. The jumping of the grounds is a good thing. I've seen this back in my car audio days where a lot of people would not have good grounding ether burning out their amp/s or having bad sound quality. Cutting out the VCC from the ESC wiring harness is where I think you did the biggest change in improving your video quality. Adding the voltage regulator may be overkill but maybe you did it because your VTX doesn't have the best quality built-in voltage regulator. I have a Rush tank II ultimate that I will use its built-in voltage regulator for the camera and bypass the ESC VCC for the VTX and the FC by getting it from the battery wire with a good capacitor to help keep down any ESC noise. I will also do the gound jumpers as you did for your FC. Thanks for the information, this definitely helps me get a jump start into fixing my setup.

[@propsoff]

I appreciate your feedback.. You are correct, I ran the LC to compensate for the inexpensive AKK 20x20 vtx. I quickly replaced it with the Matek mini (really liked it). I also have the Rush 30x30 on my race 5incher, I do like it...

Hello, I want to really thank you for your solution which fixed my video problem too. I have Matek F405-SE, TBS Unify Pro 32 HV et eachine ESC 4/1 and I tried many things expected to solve the problem but nothing really worked. Now I added ground wires from the FC ground of VTX and Camera to my Lipo wire ground and it solved the problem. I removed the little ground wire of the ESC to the FC to make sure not have ESC disturbances. My video is really clean with disarmed motors and when I arme the motors, I don't have anymore lines on my video and no more OSD glitchs and flickering. The OSD is really clean. I have not tried outside yet, only in my garage because fo the weather, but it seems that I will not have troubles if I fly normaly and full gaz outside next time I will fly. I had lines and OSD glitchs and flickering when I tested without blades and now I tested the same way and don't have anything of that.

@@propsoff well sir, I've tried everything you suggested in this video and despite it all. I still have crap video. The difference between my build and yours is that I'm using a tbs hv vtx and because of that. I had to use a redundant ground from the camera to the ground next to video in on fc. Otherwise identically wired. So frustrating. Any thoughts or suggestions? After it all I also tried a piece of copper deal to act like a Faraday shield. No help either.

[@propsoff]

@@MouwDown I was testing a Runcam Phoenix 2 Micro camera and had video issues. I replaced the camera with the exact same specs.. Absolutely perfect video again. To no suprise, I hit a gate and bounced off the ground 2 , 3, maybe 6 times.. Lol.. Now, I have not great video.. Hum, I'm curious now. I have smashed my Caddx Ratel over and over with still good video. I am eventually get one to replace my 2nd Runcam Phoenix 2 Micro.. Question, Do you have the means to replace your camera? Has your camera taken a small to medium hit? This stuff is frustrating and expensive to test maybe and maybe nots, lol

[@MouwDown]

@@propsoff This is a fresh build. The camera I'm using is the newish trex from foxeer. I did have decent video when I powered the camera with my vtx. Then I got the osd flickering. After that I soldered the redundant ground from camera to ground next to video input on fc. After that, video went bad with no osd flicker. Haha I'm bout ready to give up on mamba fc's. I originally picked it because the esc hookups were up front. I definitely could put a different camera on. I do have a few in the bin. It's just crazy to me how bad the video is despite everything I've tried so far.

@@MouwDown My newest build is using the Matek F405-STD flight controller and it's clean, without mods.. I would be interesting if a new camera would be the fix...

[@raffyturc]

hi. I think I get it now. 'some' boards might(?) have broken or improper traces for GND. what I suspect is you have tied the analog(from the video pads) & digital GND(the usual GND for uarts), making it solid. 👍

[@propsoff]

I do suspect, a few boards I've used are more susceptible to noise. I have a Spedix stack from years ago and it has no redundant grounds. It doesn't even have a capacitor; Its video is perfect. Everything shown here is for analog video systems. Enjoy the Breeze...👍🏻🍻👊🏻

[@killere1587]

So here's where I'm at, I'm currently running the Hobbywing g3 f4 stack on two of my quads and I've always had very visible diagonal stripes in my video, using a cap on the main leads. I tried running the vtx off the main leads and 12v on FC, also tested running cam from vtx and FC, problem seemed to be the same. Fast forward to just last week, I powered the vtx through 9v LC filter (with small cap on 9v out) to main leads (with big cap) and cam to vtx. Still had the stripes, but that introduced esc noise. So I just went through your whole video, isolated the vtx and cam, powered FC from main leads, and grounded everything I could. It helped a lot, however both the stripes and OSD flickering are still there. All the video gear is fairly new in my quad (this is a 7") and I've switched out several components. Do you have any ideas on this?

[@propsoff]

I had striped video after a crash. I replaced the camera and all was clear. Do you have your video (yellow) connected to the flight controller to display OSD? Tie them together (no OSD info temporarily) and see if that's it.. I had a Betafpv board that constantly gave me fits and I replaced it with a Matek FC and all was good.

[@killere1587]

@@propsoff I tied the signals together, like you said, and tried different cameras, the stripes are still there. I'm running the unify pro hv, tried with lc filter with a cap on output, no cap, no lc, cap on vtx 5v out the camera, changed vtx, changed sma tail and antenna, completely isolating video from the rest of the quad, and nothing changed. It does seem to be a problem on the cam or 5v out side, when I unplug the cam and have only the vtx outputting (gray screen) it's perfectly clear. I have a racer with the same setup (unify vtx and foxeer mini/micro) and it's always had this problem too

[@Perforator2000]

Your videos have helped me a lot with some flickering OSD and noise issues on a Tyro 119 I built, and I just realized I should try powering my FC off the battery pads as well, because I get momentary video blackouts after fast flips and rolls. I also just moved my camera ground wire so that it goes into the same plug as the signal wire, instead of going to the VTX. I think I'm close to getting it all sorted out. One thing I've done differently is that I'm not currently running the VTX off battery voltage, but from the 10V VTX pad on the FC. I tried running it off a 9V Matek BEC from the battery, but for some reason things got a lot worse. I probably didn't have the right redundant ground going for that, or something.

[@propsoff]

Thank you for checking out my channel and subscribing! Thank you.. Glad things are getting sorted out. 10v bec on the FC, which FC is that? I used the 12v Matek Lc/bec and had to run the extra ground to the cam pad. It's funny, I added the Runcam DVR board to get clean footage (for the very few that wanted to see me fly), and introduced a little noise back into my fpv feed. Probably will remove it soon after a couple more rips...

[@Perforator2000]

It's an Eachine Tyro 129 F4 GPS FC that came with the build kit. I've been using that build as a way to learn about all this stuff, since it is so inexpensive. I don't have much fear taking it apart and putting it back together a lot, soldering and trying new things on it, like the redundant ground system. I'm about to do my first build from scratch with parts I selected, and the practice working on the Tyro 119 has given me the confidence to know I can figure it out.

I lover your mind! Before I came across this I was tearing into my 7 again to try get the best quality analog as possible . I would of went this wrought. I love the idea of powering the FC direct to bat instead of the ESC ribbon cable ? but is not a voltage regulator in the ESC to run the FC ? I run 6S . My last mod was running ground and power to cam from VTX direct and big difference . But still get a mild shimmering horizontal bars like a striped shirt. The bars are transparent , its weird. Maybe there for life . I will testify I have 6 cams of all makes and my Runcam delivers the best view Quality of them all . I think the guts inside some cams are better. Admit I;m a noob but I have OCD lol Enjoyed this thanks !!!!

I also have a shitty 20*20 mamba stack. I tried many things before (putting caps, powering cam from vtx, that solve the noise issue but not the flic), but the only thing that worked was putting the 3 redundant grounds that were discussed in this video. And powering the vtx from the lipo, but that was the case already (esc passthrough before). I did everything at once, so not sure what did the trick. Anyway, thanks for the tips, I was pretty desparate. It's still a noisy build in terms of gyro filtering, but at least I don't have the flickering osd no more. I put it on a 7inch though, maybe that's just too much for the f40 mamba esc.

@@rubenvaneupen7327 7 inch..what motors? Is the lipo sagging too low in upper throttle maneuvers?

[@Magneticitist]

This kind of issue can be one of the trickiest and sometimes you just have to try every approach. I have an interesting example on an RC car. I have two cameras back to back front and rear. They share the same length of wiring. They are wired into a 20A relay where the front cam is on the NC and the rear is on the NO so I can hold a button to momentarily switch the feed to the rear camera. There is then a short run from the relay common to the VTX input. Even though these are identical cameras which both share the same wiring and have that wiring strapped together in one bundle, only the front camera experiences the lines from motor noise. I suspect that it could be a few things.. but at first glance it seems like a really counterintuitive issue.

Thanks, very well explained!

[@dutchfpv7010]

FYI a simple shortcut to this is to just put all grounds on the same ground pad. I can attest that everything he's telling you is valid and will make a noticeable improvement. But you'll get most of the way there just putting all your video system grounds on the same pad.

[@propsoff]

If you were paying attention, I do say that I removed and replaced every single wire, flying in between movements, and each time it made a difference. Do you remember me saying that? I disagree about the shortcuts your mentioning here, especially on the Mamba flight controller. I have a separate video that shows a redundant ground and how much it helps. It's significant 4shO, however, I went much farther. Interestingly enough, the Matek F405 flight controllers, I'm using, do not have video issues. At least not like the others Im running.

[@dutchfpv7010]

@@propsoff I confess to skipping around and may have missed that. I actually did this exact same experiment a few years back. Before they had those nice little PCBs, I used some small buck inverters. Like you, I found this to be the end all solution for ultra clean video. I also came to the same conclusion that Mamba's have inherently crummy video while the Mateks are much better (I too swear by the F405-CTR). I only mentioned my shortcut because the extra wiring and components will turn off racers. But the halfway solution is better than nothing with no added weight or complexity. This is a great video with great depth and detail. Thanks. And I'm glad you like the gates (and the Pumpkins). That finish gate is an old jump house LOL. Works perfect!

@@travelsvlog144 It would be nearly identical to this method. Run the BEC off the lipo to power your VTX and run the camera off the VTX. Run a redundant ground for the camera. This will isolate your FPV gear, and you'll be good to go..🍻

So, I can power the FC straight from the battery, and VTX+Camera from a standalone BEC? that is powered straight from the battery as well? Since my VTX is only taking in 5V, and does not have pads for the camera. So, bec ground to the camera ground pad and the camera itself, and also the Uart1 ground pad is how to do it? I hope I explained this clearly... Thank You for this video too!

It's difficult to know precisely without looking a at a wire diagram of all the components. You can power multiple devices directly from the lipo as long as the device power range and lipo output is within spec. The VTX only takes 5V? Then run a 5V BEC and have it power the VTX and camera..

Sounds like more than motor noise interference. You should have decent flyable video and this video is to clean it up to nearly perfect. Double caps aren't really the answer..

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do any of these wiring tips apply to me if I have my camera powered from my FC instead of my VTX? I ask because it looked like a lot of the things you did relied on the camera getting power from the VTX. Also, can I just connect any ground pad on the FC to the battery ground to help the thin ground wire on the connector? Or does it have to be a certain one? Thanks!

[@propsoff]

I like running a ground to the "CAM ground" wire were ever it is. Also, twisting the ground around the camera wires helped (just cut the ground wire 2 times longer than the camera signal wires - ensuring the length of said wires are less or more than 32.8mm if running a 2.4ghz system).

[@dominicfritz8035]

So I've always ran the mamba f405 stack on multiple builds and never dealt with much camera noise. Well I just hooked up an iflight esc to the mamba fc and man did I have such bad noise. Heard about running another ground and instantly helped a ton, but I'm still getting some noise, including the darkening effect you were talking about. That's how ended up here. Point being, maybe the esc has quite a bit to do with the noise, and we should avoid mix matching FC and ESC's?

I have a few quads with mixed ESCs and no issues. Not sure yet why some are just noisy. Wish I had the funds to really test and tinker.

[@propsoff]

Your over complicating the process.. Your powering the analog system via a BEC.. Then you simple ground the connections (Only ground).. Wire the BEC to the lipo leads. Then, power the VTX. The camera gets power from the VTX.. The camera connects to the flight controller with only the V-in. You need to redundant the ground for that connection... Then redundant the ground for the ground from the camera pad to the ground pad of the VTX - on the flight controller.. Then a ground strap from the main ground pad of the flight controller directly to the ground of the lipo. Your basically grounding everything twice because the BEC, VTX, and Cam is isolated from the Flight Controller.. *Note: Because we have to run the video through the OSD chip on the flight controller, we have to ground all the ground connections to clear the video noise ... The main ground could be the USB ground stubs too.. Really, we need a heavy ground for them to all go to.. Electrical current and EMF follows the path of least resistance.. Unfortunately, when these manufacturers made parts smaller and smaller and CHEAPER!, it introduced a ton of noise into the video. Grounding all these connections to a "real" ground is the key...🍻

I chose not to power the FC form the ESC in the beginning of my "Better FPV" journey to minimize the EMF able to enter the FC. I also like direct connections instead of the 4 pins involved with the hot and ground in this plug.. the largest improvement was the redundant ground. The BEC has filtering on it, so I call it second, including a good 680uf capacitor.. The combination of all these things really made the difference. I actually removed one component (to include a single ground wire) and flew it to see if it changed. I did this to remove wasted effort and weight. I was a little surprised at how finicky this FC was. I have all the parts to build a sister to this quad.. Same motors and frame, however individual ESCs and a Matek F405 standard flight controller.

So... why not hook up all the ground leads to all ground locations... i mean all! .. shouldnt the compnies know this and make changes? Maybe the frame needs a ground rail that all components connect to directly from the battery?

The manufacturers are making things thinner, lighter, cheaper, and more crammed than ever. This method I came up with has made analog good again.. I wish they would work on filtration and proper grounding..🤔🍻
