VTX2 Setup

Proper video transmitter (VTX) setup is critically important for quality FPV flight.

Channel Selection

  • Check available channels in your region

  • Avoid crowded channels

  • Use Race Band for competitions

  • Check local frequency regulations

Power Settings

  • 25mW - for training near home

  • 200mW - for regular flights

  • 600mW+ - for long-range flights

  • Check allowed power in your region

Antennas

Use quality antennas for better signal:

Circular polarized antennas provide stable signal even when the drone flips.

Proper TX/RX polarization is critically important for image quality.

Protecting antennas from damage will extend their lifespan.

Cooling

VTX requires proper cooling for stable operation:

Ventilation holes in the frame ensure air circulation.

Heat sinks help dissipate heat from the VTX.

Proper placement on the frame will avoid component overheating.

Testing

Always test VTX before flight:

Check signal quality at different distances and angles.

Configure camera for optimal image quality.

Check OSD (On Screen Display) for displaying important information.
