We used our 5.8G tracker at the new spot and threw the WingX after a longer break into the air. After 2km the video link became pretty poor what is surprising as we have normally a range up to 10km. Switched to the 2.4G tracker and Boscam 2.4G TX and… perfect picture by flying long range! We crossed a nice village and almost could hear church bells ringin’ 🙂
We discovered a fantastic new spot with everything you can dream of as a fpv pilot and even can park the Landy right next to our base camp. Been there three days in a row and no single human showed up. This is like paradise!
First of all the pilot (Micha) needs to do a good job! As a catcher (Holly) you should have trust and nuts… a hard grip… damn I need to work on a better smile 🙂
I was switchin’ to 2510 for video today and finally Micha could fly with his 2.4 remote control without destroying my video transmission. Pretty much fun flying together even it was hard to chase each other on this windy day.
Finally Holly could manage a perfect flight around the power poles with the TBS Caipirinha. Premiere!
Today we tested the TBS 2.4GHZ Yagi (11DB) antenna. For me there was absolut no difference to the 2G4 RX tuned flying my usual routes. I don’t know if I ever want to go further then some miles with the Caipirinha. If… we’ll check the Yagi again. Thx to Micha for acting as an biological tracker 🙂
The final config for the TBS Caipirinha is done. The 2G4 TX/RX tuned are doin’ an outstanding job. The FPV signal is better than ever and flying behind objects so much fun! Also it is a relief to travel from time to time with such a portable setup. Sometimes the big setup with our trackers is a real pain in the ass.
See our first video from winter flight season 2013/2014. We used a Wing-X (http://www.modellbau-joost.de) a Knurrus Maximus (http://www.epp-versand.de) and a DJI Flame Wheel 450 (http://www.dji.com).
For video tracking we trust in MyFlyDream 12CH AAT (http://www.myflydream.com) and are using two of them to have a redundant system. The antenna (CL, SPW & Helix) are handmade by “rabe2000”. For video recording we have a set of Hero 3 cameras… for FPV we love the pixim seawulf 690 TVL.
