Range Test Cineape 25 DarwinFPV

[@Tecorenato]

Hello ! I have almost the same setup, but can’t go more them 500mts. I have already checked the channels, and everything but can’t figure out what possible going out. Do you have some advices ?

1:19 the bug😱

[@flippingfpv]

Yes I think there's a nest here

[@doncunningham3124]

I'm starting to wonder if mounting the fpv antenna off of the nose and pointing it downward might be better for flying long range. That way nothing is blocking it while flying away or flying back home. It seems to work for my protocol antenna so why not the fpv one as well? 🤔

[@flippingfpv]

That's not a bad idea. I think the only reason people don't do it is the inconvenience for launching

[@DroneTokAbah]

Did you install GPS on the drone for this flight?

[@flippingfpv]

No

[@DroneTokAbah]

@@flippingfpv thanks for your reply 🙏😊

Hi, I think you forgot the 50ohm SMA terminator, is that a silicone protector? I have that same antenna and can reach that range with 200mw or 400mw with full clear picture.

[@flippingfpv]

Hey man, it's a silicon protector on the unused antenna because I'm using an ELRS module. On my goggles I'm using a patch and stubby antenna.

[@FPVEmperor]

Use both a patch and a lollipop antenna and use steadyview x on diversity. You will be impressed what the cobra x goggles can do. That’s what I use and at 400 mw I fly the largest part of my neighbourhood.

[@flippingfpv]

I have the cobra s the diversity receiver but not steadyview. It's pretty good though.

[@FPVEmperor]

@@flippingfpv Ohh okay. Yeah still decent pair of goggles.

[@Tecorenato]

Could you help me ? I am using eachine800d Stock antena but getting low distance with the vtx, any tips ?

[@Arrie751102]

Using the Darwin 850 mah batteries I can get a good 6 min cruising around...😉

[@flippingfpv]

That's decent
