LOL, perfect car for that..

Hopefully be shooting some snow video today. Maiden voyage for my new Black P4 ( Black Betty ) Go big or go home

Cool, post it, snowy here too. 24 degrees. In order to not clutter thread here are mine. Lots of tests, examples... garbage, but a couple I think are ok. : Grammaton Cleric

Too funny, I have a dashcam video from yesterday also, car spinning out in the snow.

Watching first video now. You bought L-coms 8.5 too? I just bought them. You did well flying through the " Grabby trees"! I lived in Flint/Lansing for a year... summer great, winter...... glad I don't live in Michigan......

You are very good at FPV flight. Cheers! (The look of a person seeing the Phantom speed by with no pilot in sight is the best.)

Finally got to fly a little today. 3 different runs.
1 - I run the Lcoms + sunhan amps, which is this video. Video feed wasn't as clear as I had hoped. Started to glitch close to 2500 feet. Went close to 3000 each run.
2 - I run the Lcoms straight to the remote. Lost it all at 2780 feet, same spot, same run.
3 - I run the DBS02 antenna with amps. Solid and clear all the way through. Clean vid with no glitches. Got to 3100 feet then dropped below the tree line.

Edit: this wasn't a max distance test. Just flew to that distance because that's where some trees were. Had full bars except for when I dropped behind trees with Lcoms alone, not amped. Same location I flew 2.66 miles stock. So yeah, just a little tree penetration here.

This was a very windy day. I really shouldn't have been flying buy I just couldn't help myself!! I was surprised in the difference of the video feed between the Lcoms and the DBS02, but, I know every location will have a different outcome probably. I'm curious as to what the RF Linx will do. I didn't have time to install and mess with the settings today but hope to get to do that soon.

This vid is off the sd card. The glitching shows up in the cached version.

Windy and nervous, but had a blast!! I'll have to search hard to find good places to test. I'm in the hills and This place was about the flattest place around. Hope this works.

Very cool. Noticed the cars go slowly by the "cop car" with antennas sticking up in your "Speed trap". I get the same thing in my black Vic.

 

[GrammatonxXXxCleric]

Waiting on my L-coms. Should be here by wednesday. Will do a non-boosted vs. boosted run and post the screen signal levels in video.

2.4 GHz 9 dBi Desktop Omni Antenna - 4ft RP-SMA Connector - RE09U-RSP

 

[GrammatonxXXxCleric]

Hope to get farther than 3,000ft with the L-coms as My FPVLR with 3 watt Suhaus goes way beyond that. Also my home built mast type whips go farther than that. (they are on a 20ft tall mast though)(And the far point altitude was 250 ft.)

Guess I should've been a little more clear.. I only flew that distance by choice because that's where a line of trees were that I could duck behind. I'm positive I would've been limited by battery.

I will test the 9dbi set I ordered, but may also buy the 4dbi model to test coverage between them.
2.4 GHz 4 dBi Omni Antenna w/ Magnetic Mount - 10ft RP-SMA Plug Connector - HG2404MGU-RSP

Antenna gain explained - TP-Link

 

[JohnnyB]

Guess I should've put this in with the video. Here I'm behind the trees, low to the ground, full bars still. So yeah, could've went way farther with penetration. I'll try to have a more organized post on the next one.. sorry.

Good post. Good clear explanation of gain. Thanks

[GrammatonxXXxCleric]

Thank you for clarifying range. Two of these puppies cost $200. The 4dbi versions are $69 each. With or without amps, I expect them to be performance freaks. Plus they'll look great on my black Vic lurking quietly.

 

[GrammatonxXXxCleric]

I'll test first no amps, then 3 watt amps, finally..... 8 watt amps. Flown on a planned way point mission so the results are consistent.

Cool Video !! Glad you finally got a day off to do some flying...
Great place to test a new set up...
The panel antenna will kick the Omni's butt on clear video and pretty much anything else. The down side is you have to aim it. All the good stuff is aimed at the bird and it's not hearing 360 degree's of video noise on the receive side. Hope that made sence...lol
The RF Linx will have Video cross talk issue's with the Omni's also.
But it can be dialed out or down.
Good $hit

Oh yah, love the Crown Vic's guys !! I don't look the part in a Subaru...lol
I live in a GM ghost town. Ol boys in there Chevy trucks giving me the eye.
If they only knew i worked at a GM dealer as a Tech for 15 years... That's why i own a Subaru...lmao

Haha.. I guess a guy could make a huge set of parabolics out of a garbage can and aluminum foil to go behind the L-coms..lol Then turn the car to aim.. haha
