A lot of people are getting into long range systems such as the TBS Crossfire and FrSky R9M. But how good is a stock 2.4GHz/5.8GHz 5" FPV Quadcopter setup? In this video I do two flights up mountains in which I test the limits of the systems.
All flight videos include DVR to see the quality of the video. The RSSI can also be seen in the top left of the DVR.
The max distance travelled was approx. 1.07 km in the first flight, 1.08 km in the second flight.
The results mainly tell us that the most limiting factors are the battery size (assuming a 1300 or 1500mAh pack) and the VTX links. I will probably follow this test up with another one in which I see if I can improve the results with an improved VTX setup. It is very interesting that the lower output TBS Unify outperformed the higher output Eachine TX801, despite the Eachine outputting 800mW. That may be indicative of a fault in the VTX, a broken antenna or a noisy RF environment.
