long range FPV ground station setup

In this video I show you how i have setup my 1.3ghz FPV ground station. I have used 2x 1.3ghz recivers, 1x 5.8ghz transmitter, RMRC tuned patch, 1/4 wave dipole antanna, 12V BEC, 5V BEC and a Eagle Tree Eagle eyes box.

I’d like to hear more of what the kid was saying. He seemed to be making some good really good points. All in all, fascinating video👍

[@usarmyfl1]

Dang.. It looks like you thought of, and incorporated everything and some. Very cool!

[@MaxximumRC]

Very nice set up! Thanks for sharing.

[@ericeves6452]

Great setup!!

[@owenkilleen]

Jeez man...youve just simply described what others havent been able to clearly articulate in videos ive been checking for ages. Nice one

[@rcdc5762]

thanks dude. hoping to start making a few more how to vids, keen for thoughts on what vids to make?

[@owenkilleen]

A bit more effort, and time, you may not have it, so no worries if you don't, but a parts list would be good.

[@clerkangle3396]

Wow bro good job dude 👌👍

[@undeze]

Great video thanks!

[@northernfpv9562]

Love the kid interruption haha! Thanks for the detailed explanation!

[@rcdc5762]

lol, kids dont care what your doing lol

[@parshvapatel8484]

RCDC how much range could you get with this

[@dp4advanced234]

@@parshvapatel8484 watch the video before asking

[@AFREENX]

Thanks for the video! How long can rca cable be? 50m?

[@thelongranger55]

I use 5.8 & I mount my rx on top of my 2 story home 50 feet off the ground and I fly from inside my house it’s awesome

[@JDBeastmode]

The LongRanger how do you put the transmitter that far away?

[@mountaindewdude76]

That was real good! I'm planning on basically the same setup but instead of your patch antenna, I'll be using a 5 turn helical. I just wasn't real sure how to place the components but, after watching your video, the setup should be very similar. Thanks for sharing!!

[@rcdc5762]

Cheers mate. check out our new channel the fpv crack

[@rcdc5762]

Cheers mate. check out our new channel the fpv crack

[@mountaindewdude76]

Great! I'll have a look!

[@russellblack9476]

Thanks, but how do you actually put it together. Are the components just velcroed to the back of the panel. Its easy to buy all those parts, but how the hell is it attached to the tripod? Thanks.

[@kronosdarkangel5290]

Is it okay to directly connect the reciever to the monitor? Or it must be connected to the eagle eyes?

[@gpgp1750]

It’s hard to find that rmrc receiver. Do you know a place that sells it?

[@andyfreestail]

Hello, is this also possible for fpv race drones?

[@javieruriel]

Nice video dude, do I need the vector flight controller in order to use that video diversity?

[@rcdc5762]

nope, works with any flight controller, dont even need a FC. just needs a video signal to work :)

[@Nick-xe2hu]

How well does the Eagletree system switch antenna feeds? Do you see a definitive blip in your goggles or is it a pretty smooth transition?

[@rcdc5762]

its good. put it this way, its far better than having your video slowly crap out because your flying out of the beam :)

[@Boris_Ka]

Need help to understand how reapeater works

[@kerrycorcoran4885]

Could you show a wiring drawing of how you made the video out (from the Eagle Eyes) to the 5.8Ghz vtx?

[@rcdc5762]

I can do soon but all you need to do is plug a AV cable into the eagle eyes video out. Then cut the other end and solder it to the video in wire on your VTX

[@stevenbeneker8311]

Do you think it’s possible to place the two receivers (for me 2 times 5,8ghz receiver) like 20m apart? So, receiver one right next to the EagleEyes and receiver two 20 meter away from the EagleEyes.

[@syberphish]

mine are 50ft apart using a/v cable.

[@chamdaracay3122]

how many metes that can reach?

[@SonAndDadFPV]

so, the 5,8 link is to not disturbe the 1.3 link with your UHF RC transmitter?

[@rcdc5762]

hi ya. no its fine. no issue with the 5.8 and 1.3. there frequency is to far apart and the 5.8 is only 25mw if that helps. cheers

[@jamespollard1992]

Man this looks insane! Are you able to give product brands/makes/models?? I'd love to price it up for myself Thanks James

[@rcdc5762]

eagle eyes, 2x 1.3ghz recivers, any 5.8 transmitter, two differt 1.3 antenna, 12v bec, 5v bec, battery, wire and plugs and your away

[@supernova1969a]

Do you have to fly at a high altitude ? Will the 1.3 penetrate the trees and ground clutter?

[@KING-ld6fq]

Yes it will but 5.8 won't

[@javieruriel]

What kind of connector are u using for power up the eagle eyes? I got issues with mine

[@rcdc5762]

the same plug that fatshark goggles use dude

[@jamesandonian7829]

I just got a 1.3ghz video setup. Will there be interference with my 2.4ghz tx?

[@rcdc5762]

not with 2.4 but if you add 433mhz radio like EZUHF or Dragonlink it will. check out this vid for instructions on a 2.4 to 433 ground station. let mw know if you need any more help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LVo4aOisaqZ5I

[@theyeetus1428]

do you think this would work with an rc car?

[@rarevlog4948]

Yes

[@rcdc5762]

lots

[@ctonylowe]

Did u say it can reach 20km if so please show me how to do it. I'm very interested and need some thing like this. What ever the cost. Let me know please

[@rcdc5762]

yep i have done 21.8km with this so far. you will need basic soldering skills to build this but its not hard. let me know if your happy to solder. I could always build you one if the shipping does not make it cost to much for you. I am also keen to build planes for people if that want a full setup.

[@ctonylowe]

RCDC I would love to have you build one for me, just tell me how much and I'll send it thur PayPal if u don't mind

[@rcdc5762]

Hi Craig. sorry for the delay. can you please email me at [e-mail] with your address and i will put a quote together for you buddy

[@tamarkstarbwoy9582]

What do I need to setup a long range system for my xmaxx

[@rcdc5762]

What have u got

[@rcdc5762]

What have u got

[@tamarkstarbwoy9582]

I have a traxxas xmaxx it’s a rc car

[@jimjohnson4122]

21-25 “Ks” does that mean Kilometers?! Seems sooo far!!!
