Ground recording of this flight
youtube.com/watch?v=6fBByfsKpuo
Some folks were asking me what the quality of the vid was, flying so close to the edge of LoS (and sometimes below it). What's
interesting is that some places where I'm non-LoS the video is still quite good, but bad at times when I had clear LoS (due to multipathing off the rocky ridges). Sometimes flying lower, or a little behind the summit of the ridge reduces multipathing, versus letting the signal reflect off the front face of the ridge.
Gear used.
Airframe: Skyhunter
VTX: FOX800 + Airscrew Cloveleaf Ultra
VRX: Racewood + SAW filter + 5 turn Helical
OSD/AP: Vector
Control: Rlink (aka MFDLink) at 600mW with stock whip on Tx and simple homemade dipole on Rx (only one antenna). Non-LOS performance second to none.
