Just an FYI for those trying to figure out how far they may get with their FPV system.
I got 2025 meters out of my FPV system today. I'm using the DJI 5.8 VDL set with the circular antennas. I did add a 90º connector because I read it is best not to bend the coax and I wanted the TX antenna to point straight down.
Flight conditions were 53 meters high and I had no ground obstructions. Basically I just flew it in a straight line and straight back. I did get "white out/Snow" a couple of times for a few seconds, but nothing that worried me. It was also an overcast day. Don't know if that helped the signal or not.
Anyway, I could have gone further but I had not scouted any further than that distance and I figure 2000 meters is enough.
