Choosing Video Transmitters (VTX) for FPV

[@apsfpv2217]

I enjoy these videos even being a 4 year veteran of FPV. Its really nice seeing the basics covered for the new people to this amazing hobby. These videos are what I wished were available in 2014...

[@HelloMedicAnkit]

SIR , CAN YOU PLEASE REFER ME A BUDGAATE FRIENDLY LONG RANGE VIDEO TRANSMMITER?

[@easy_3d]

Dude.. position the camera directly vertically over the products, we dont have an eyesight like an eagle to see those products.

[@RutwikGulakala]

Guys try a vertical angle to shoot smaller components. It will make it super easy and clear for us to comprehend and understand.

[@WEEBER13]

I've been flying for over 6 years now and I just discovered this great intro to VTX's. Great foundational info. Didn't know how R-Band came about!

[@le_ti_lik]

Before watching the video, I have to say you can't go wrong with the eachine tx805. It's a 12 buck 800mw VTX, I've used them for about a year before switching to unifys and I have to say it's the best bang for buck vtx on the market. Pretty reliable as well, never had one burn out, only had one short circuit due to crashing in snow.

[@StikFlikFPV]

Super informative videos as always Jeff! On close ups, is there a way you guys can start having a separate camera for those close “zoom-in” shots? My son was wanting to see a close up of the difference between MMCX and UFL and a few other things you were explaining. I didn’t have any on hand to show him at the time.👍🏼

[@mdh2006]

I know RR has build vids, but you should add a new build and set up vid for beginners at the end of this series. GJ.

[@highflyingfl3905]

Totally agree. They should do this every 3 or 4 months. Plus on the build they should have budget normal and higher end options on each build. Should also have build videos for experience level beginner amateur etc....

[@Dragonloren]

Thanks for all the info for the beginner, you are the easiest to understand without talking about crap that doesn’t involve drones.

[@Flyby_Magee]

I have 6 pages of notes from this series. I am week one obsessed with not only the drones but building them. This has been the perfect place to find information. I will be buying from Rotor Riot as much as I can because of your huge help getting me started. Thanks

[@tydortch3063]

Do goggles come with smart audio too or do I not have to worry about that

[@Mrfunkyfpv]

Ty Dortch smart audio is on the vtx not goggles

[@tydortch3063]

Ivan Langford so when you change channels via smart audio do you use your goggles tho

[@Mrfunkyfpv]

@@tydortch3063 you do But only to view your osd meaning your video Tx with smart audio would plug in to a FC (flight controller) then by pushing the sticks on your radio TX a menu would pop open that you would see thur you goggles or Ground station that you could change the settings

[@tydortch3063]

Ivan Langford ok sweet that will come in handy

[@flyguycinematic6030]

Thanks for the tips! I would never of thought that a higher output on the VTX could make it worse on multi passing in bad RF areas. And I do use MMCX 90° pigtails because swooping down the side of the VTX with a 4 inch pigtail works quite nicely but then that just means more lost through each connection is that correct? thanks!

[@Mrfunkyfpv]

wish there was a VTX that plugged in to my receiver to setup on a 3pos for power setting and as i got to the end of my range on lets say 200mw flick of the switch while in the air and bang im on 600mw and the next flick 1000mw

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

They could set it up from flight controller connecting it to s.port or f.port data.. then set adjustment in betaflight.. that be so cool . Need new fc design though..

[@daknbow5960]

I have question, What stops the drone from flipping over when you put a big heavy gopro on top?

[@anthonyyaghi6342]

It uses a controller with feedback like a PID. There is a gyro sensor that tells the controller if the drone is tilted and by how much on each axis. The controller then calculates the required rpm for each motor to keep the drone leveled.

Love the part about bouncing and interference because most people do not know about that.

[@brightspark4312]

My VTX just broke 5 minutes ago

[@joeryan9365]

Which one? mine did today im interested if same brand

[@Adam-zh4hm]

I've broken 3 since I liked this post 8 months ago

[@PerilNotion]

Same here

[@brandonlawhorn6226]

You should really focus the camera in on the parts you are talking about this has turned me off from your videos

[@RGCbaseace]

Can you tell me where to obtain a flysky pixel based OSD in stand-alone or in a flight controller?

[@semiboyyy4447]

I have a 5,8 ghz drone but I have no idea what transmitters I should use if someone could help I would appreciate it

[@AleXianFPV]

which one is it?

[@runforitman]

Do all analog systems work interchangeably? Specifically: would a TBS UNIFY PRO32 HV work with an Eachine EV100?

[@TuxTxFpv]

What about a dragonlink reciever? Only for planes??

[@chrisstokley7687]

i learned alot =tyvm... most are not as easy to understand/or end up talking about a radio for the entire video:>)

[@Goliath260]

Hey I have a project transmitting a video into outer space. Do you know how I would do that?

[@districtfpv6394]

I got 2km transmit with skyzone vtx 200mw

[@CyberWallX]

hey man, im just starting out on fpv, but i have an issue and i happen to use the same vtx, maybe you could give me a hint? the vtx does connect to my googles as the signal symbol on screen indicates, but i only get a black picture so obviously there is no video data. Do you think the problem is related to the camera or might it be the transmitter as well? Because i am about to switch parts to point out the source of failure, but the thing is, i had these parts lying around for quiet some time now and i accidentally put power on the vtx without mounted antenna a few times already.. So do you have - by chance - some educated guess wether i should change camera or vtx first? i would appreciate any kind of help since im trying to save a bit of money ;)

[@districtfpv6394]

@@CyberWallX i think the problem is wire signal from camera not correctly connected at vtx ,,that why blackscreen

[@districtfpv6394]

@@CyberWallX replace signal wire if broken,keep it tighten always

[@CyberWallX]

@@districtfpv6394 that sounds reasonable. i visually checked the cable already for i dont have any ohm meter lying around. but i guess i just replace it and try again. thanks man!

[@timour470]

heeeeelp meee!!!!!!! i got a mamba f722 mini stack andeachine tx805s vtx. the imput voltage is 7v to 24v but i think my f722 mini has only 3v or 5v pads. whay can i do ?? i will have to buy a new vtx??

[@chinmaykulkarni7835]

I haven't seen any reciver online should I directly connect the antena to screen or goggles

[@kaayfpv]

Why are there no big antennas on these vtx, like the antennas on the goggles ? Are they outdated and the small antennas better now ?

[@VORT3XFPV]

Depends on what you mean by big. If you mean big and square or just kind of strangely shaped in general, you may be talking about directional antennas. Some antennas are specifically designed as receiving antennas. In general, antennas have gotten smaller with the same quality of video so you may see larger ones on goggles because that's an older antenna that a pilot still had and now uses it as a receiver antenna with a new, smaller one on the quad.

[@dwayneh3010]

What you're seeing is the lead wire for the antenna. The antenna screws onto the end of those wires.

[@ze2004]

i dont understand how a tech thing dont show up the material in close ups.

I got the FrSky R9M. Its output power is at 200mW. The RSSI drops down to 20 and im only maximum 50 meters away from me. What should be wrong?

[@TheMadmacs]

i'm not sure this is good info but i still use normal radio and i never go above 200mw on vtx, this means my video will fail before my nirvana radio, also vtx is super hot on 200mw, bit worried to go higher.

all you guys are the same. Missing the most basic important things, like digital or analog, camera to vtx compatibility, resolution, , and how to hook signal to FV and telemetry. get to the point. watched way too many videos just talking about no brainer connectors, how about "will it work".
