Nazgul 5 V2 + EV800DM + Triple Feed Patch Antenna : "more than 2km" long range test

After my last mid range video i decided to improve vtx signal performance, first step(cheap one) is to swap patch antenna.
Will I have come farther?
Drone: Nazgul 5 V2 6s stock + bn220 GPS
Vtx: SucceX Force(stock) @ 800mW
Vtx Antenna: custom pagoda, 10-12cm lenght
Receiver: TBS Crossfire Nano
Radio: Eachine Tx16S + TBS Micro Tx @100mW
Goggles: EV800DM + Triple Feed Patch Antenna
Battery: Ministar 1500mAh 6s

Bel range complimenti!! Posso chiederti come hai fatto ad aumentare direttamente in volo la potenza della Vtx?

[@nufanfpv]

Ciao, grazie! Ho associato una potenza diversa ai vari pulsanti presenti sulla radio tx16s. Volendo puoi cmq associare il cambio potenza ad uno switch qualsiasi (nel caso di uno switch a 2 posizioni va da se che potrai scegliere solo tra 2 potenze) o ad un potenziometro. L'associazione la si può fare solo tramite comandi CLI, ci sono alcuni tutorial su YT che ne parlano.

@@nufanfpv tutto chiaro , grazieeee

[@MrKrackee]

Wow insane range with this setup. Which antenna do you exactly use?

[@nufanfpv]

Hi Tobi, thank you! Patch antenna is: Realacc triple feed patch. I will put a link in video description

[@MrKrackee]

Ok nice, did you use a second Omni Directional Antenna?

[@nufanfpv]

@@MrKrackee ev800dm stock omni antenna

[@Mycraftgame]

Now that you have the v3 version, maye you could compare them in longrange or do a video about a longrange flight with the v3

[@nufanfpv]

it would be interesting but i sold EV800DM goggles, I can't do a "real" comparsion. You have to consider that V3 version has a 1.6W VTX vs V2 version 800mW. This don't mean that you duplicate the distance but, for sure, you can go farther with less problem

[@HPFPVS]

Hey awesome flight,may I ask what VTX and VTX antenna are you running? I personally have the AKK RACE RANGER 200 to 1000mW vtx , speedybee long range antenna and the triple feed on my bigley brothers ev800 , been 1km so far no issues, wanting to go further

[@nufanfpv]

Hi Howard, thank you! In this flight i was running "succex force" vtx (@800mW) and pagoda antenna(12cm lenght). Had you some issue at 1km?

[@HPFPVS]

No not yet I've been a little over a km and a half,no issues at all, I just got my GPS return setup, but still a little nervous about going further..

[@nufanfpv]

@@HPFPVS everything in its own time :D Spend some times to set and test GPS RESCUE, it helps you to be more comfortable. I advice you to upgrade at BF4.4, autolanding is very nice feature!

[@nufanfpv]

I'm sorry, i accidentaly removed your comment under my last video, if you want you can write a new one. Sorry again

[@HPFPVS]

I tried my GPS Rescue out and it started climbing in altitude, I have it set to current altitude,is it still going to climb in altitude before returning? Cause I freaked out and accidentally disarmed the quad when I tried to disengage the GPS Rescue and crashed lol.

[@Chillin-fpv]

Is your camera powered by your vtx? I get a lot a noise in my feed compared to this is really clear no break up at all

[@nufanfpv]

Hi! No, my fpv camera is powered by Flight Controller

[@dronefilmsgermany]

is it good for penetration in bandos too? I don't want too much long range but want good penetration.

[@nufanfpv]

Hi! In my opinion to improve analog penetration you have to choose a powerful vtx and a good receiver. Ev800 is a entry level goggles,.probably not the best for band due a not customizable rx

[@tinblazevski7909]

Are you happy with ev800dms or would you advise some fatshark or something else... just getting into the hobby lookin to buy nazgul and some goggles, awesome video

[@nufanfpv]

Hi, yes i'm happy cause it's very cheap (60€ second-hand) and has great performance! If you are a novice and you haven't big budget i advice it, if your budget is bigger you can buy EV300D or EV300O. In the 400/500€ range i would buy DJI goggles adding analogic receiver.

[@tinblazevski7909]

@@nufanfpv You prefer analog over the digital? Why? Is the range better or something else? Im also in doubt whether to go digital or analog, analog seems cheaper

[@nufanfpv]

​@@tinblazevski7909 Digital has better video quality and same range but it's expensive and you can't choose. In analog you can choose different price goggles (from 60 to 500euro), in digital you can't. I would add analogic receiver to DJI goggles to be not forced to swap all my drones( tinywhoops drones couldn't never became digital ) from analog to digital: Vtx is more expensive too. Digital is better than Analog? Yes! Digital is needful? No. You have to decide thinking on your budget 😄 (this is only my opinion)

[@SigMax71FPV]

Dai che almeno ti ho consigliato bene! Ma puoi fare secondo me fino a 3,5 km se hai batteria. Io mi sono fermato a 2,9 ma ancora ne aveva e la mia è la versione mini.

[@nufanfpv]

Concordo con te. Il segnale era ancora buono, potevo spingermi oltre ma il limite adesso è dato dalla batteria. Rispetto a te credo di avere anche una VTX inferiore(800mW che in realtà, misurata, non supera i 600/650mW). In ogni caso dubito arriverò mai a dover sfruttare distanze così ampie...ma conoscere i limiti è sempre cosa buona per volare in sicurezza :D

[@SigMax71FPV]

@@nufanfpv infatti. Ti può essere utile sapere che puoi filmare a 400/500 Mt in tutta sicurezza e torni a casa tranquillo. Comunque è bello confrontarsi. Grazie a te avevo appreso tante cose sulle cam e spero di avere contraccambiato. Peccato davvero essere lontani.

[@luanminh3660]

What camera do you use?

[@nufanfpv]

iflight Racecam R1

[@Chillin-fpv]

Have you tried to fly an li-on battery pack. Those will be able to give you a lot longer flight times for long range. They dont have the power output like a lipo but have a slower output of sustained power.

[@nufanfpv]

Hi Greg! thank you. Yes, a few months later this video i bought a liion 3000mAh. i reached 15minutes flight time. I did a video that to show the test.

[@Chillin-fpv]

15 minutes is crazy. How is the power difference compared to lipo ?

[@nufanfpv]

@@Chillin-fpv 15minutes in optimal conditions. Anyway you have to fly veeeeery smooth, no punch, no full throttle. liion battery can easily overheat and ruin
