Man, that really depends on the terrain around where you're flying and the amount of radio interference in your area, so the range can vary wildly. Ideally, the best place to fly would be in a huge, flat field with no hills or power lines to cause interference. I live in a major metropolitan...

Yup, adding a patch should clear those long-distance cutouts. And for the faint horizontal lines, you don't have the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal by chance do you? It's a known "bug" with the gimbal, or specifically, the little cable that plugs into the GoPro. If you search the forum someone recently...

Yep that cloverleaf set you have listed are good, I have the same set. For the patch, I got this antenna: http://www.banggood.com/5_8G-14DBi-High ... 18635.html It's kind-of big and goofy-looking (it's bigger in real life than it looks in the picture) but at 14db gives you a ton of range and...

Unfortunately it's just a side affect of this monitor. The receivers are very sensitive and prone to 2.4GHz interference from your radio (despite the marketing fluff on hobby sites saying the complete opposite). A few things to try though: Mount the monitor on a tripod and place it NEAR you...

I REALLY want to believe that these batteries are legit and a good deal, but you've got to admit as of now you've totally dropped the ball on getting them into the hands of people who have blindly handed-over their money. I've seen you say that you're located in China but surely you know people...

****. Stumbled on the NukeRC site the other day, it sounded like a promising alternative to the $160 DJI batteries. But seeing this thread, and how many people have ordered them yet NOBODY has actually received one makes me hesitant. You'd think that if this company wanted to make a splash...

Like BMEWS said, if you get goggles or an FPV monitor it will most likely have a built-in receiver (or two!) so you just need to purchase a video transmitter. What kind? Welllllll, that's up to debate. There are basically two camps: FatShark/ImmersionRC and everyone else (Boscam, Flysight...

Awesome, glad it made a difference. I'm sure we'll get it working even better for you before this is over. Generally, a cloverleaf/patch (or helical) antenna combo gives the best results. That's a cloverleaf on the transmitter with one cloverleaf and one patch antenna on the receiver. Here's...

This has been discussed many, many times before here and on rcforums.com, but the setup you have will work fine (I personally use it) if you have the right antennas and set them up correctly. In FPV, the antennas are WAAAAY more important than the monitor. Without knowing too much about your...
