My trusted VTX / VRX setup for analog video used in Whoops / Micro Quadcopters
1. Use a capable video transmitter
- 25mw or 200mw if your country allows it. 200mw gives you more range and also penetration (better reception behind objects)
- Optionally use a VTX which has a built in microphone like Eaching Nano V2 or HGLRC Zeus Nano VTX
- You can hear the mic sound through your googles, monitors live and the sound is also recorded to the DVR
2. VTX Antenna and VTX antenna positioning
- You can use a little linear antenna which does work great in most situations
- If you can have a little more weight on your Quadcoper the reception is better with a omni antenna on the VTX side
- For the position of the antenna I attach it so that the antenna tilts 45 degrees backwards. If you are flying you will mostly have some forward tilt so that makes up for that tilt.
3. Google setup / module setup
- I use Fatshark HDO2 googles with a Rapidfire module which uses some kind of image reconstruction from both antennas.
- For normal whoop flying I use two omni antennas on the Rapidfire module. One is pointing to the top and one is pointing to the front. So both angles are covered.
- If you want to go further I would use one directional antenna also known as "patch". I love the VAS X-Air Crosshair antenna
4. General
- You have to check that both the VTX- and the VRX (On the google module) antennas are all RHCP. You can also use LHCP but its very uncommon in analog video to use them
- If you are flying alone and there are none or not much wireless lan devices within the area - reception is at best
- If you are flying with other peoples you should be on different channels and at best have some physical space between all polots
- I recommend to use Raceband (e.g. R1, R8) and your pilote friends should use the same band. So you have a common separation between the channels
and no overlap
5. Before the flight
- Look at the specific band (Raceband) and channel (number 1 to 8), so e.g. "R8" which you want to use befor plugging in the whoop. If all what you see is a "clear" noise you are good to go. Like that you can see whether there is something on that band / channel. Otherwise you will maybe have bad range / image and dont know why
- Check that your whoop is on the right channel which is the same as your google module is set to!
6. Record Good DVR
- As I use the Fatshark HDO2 regarding the DVR - Quality is bad. I attach the PowerPlay DVR at the video output of the google to get the best video and mic sound. Its a drastical improvement
- Some newer googles like the Orca or HD Zero have already builtin a good DVR and you dont need the external Powerplay DVR
I hope the description of my VTX / VRX setup is helpful for you. Happy flying! :-)
