I got this fc40 back in november and have been having a good time with it. I upgtraded the props, got a few more batteries and have had a lot of fun with it.
A buddy of mine recommended that I get a FPV setup for this and figured it was about time. I grabbed a
ccd camera (usmile 650tvl drone racing camera), switchable vtx (wholfwhoop Q3 switchable transmitter-25ma, 50ma, 200ma, 500ma), and soldered the battery leads to the phantom's battery leads on the main board. It works for the most part, but after a minute, I lose gps and the drone with go dead and attempt to return to home. If i switch it out of gps mode, I can usually regain control of it fairly quickly. I have very little experience with this stuff and kind of pieced it together from what I see a lot of racers use on their racing setups. I am wondering if my transmitter is pulling too many volts every once in a while and making the phantom think the battery is getting low? I am using RHCP antennas. maybe thats an issue? My flight times have dramatically been reduced also. any help appreciated. thanks.
