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.
