FAQ / Analog VTX Noise

  • power VTX from regulated power.
    • (that said, my 6S direct-input VTX is cleaner than my 5v regulated from FC versions.)
    • prefer VBAT ground rather than some other ground if soldering to FC.
  • power FPV cam from VTX.
  • OSD video into FC, then out to VTX.
  • twist yellow and black lines (like twisted-pair network cable)
  • can also double-ground cam to both FC and VTX.
  • use good antennas. prefer "ipex or mmcx directly on the antenna" rather than "pigtail-adapter to antenna."
  • prefer 9V bec if available in such situations.
  • usually a capacitor is needed on quads with high voltage and large motors.
  • make sure that the signal wires of the camera and vtx are shortened as much as possible.
  • where the ground is connected and where the vtx and camera are powered from has an effect.
  • avoid ground loops.
  • don't use auto-scan on your goggle/module.
  • calibrate goggle/module if necessary (not typically required).

That's about as good as it gets.


Note: higher dTerms will worsen electrical noise in the video feed.
