crash due to video camera conflict

[redcat]

Just though i'd warn ppl about flying with a wireless camera (2.4ghz) and using 2.4ghz radio

I got a 7c 2.4 and was flying ok.. only really doing high hovers.. can't turn the thing around without getting scared..

So anyways then i strapped on a wireless cam and noticed the radio was interferring with the picture.. anyways i took off and got it about 30meters away and down she came with no control till i was with 20meters..

So range test can save you money plus the safety thing aswell.. will have to put the old radio back for taking pics

Hi Trev. thanks for the warning

DierWolf Has been posting quite a bit about the potential interference / lock out risks with 2.4 GHz

[DierWolf]

LOL... yeah supposedly 2.4Ghz is very "Secure" and interferrance free.... I'll sell my left nut if that was true.

[Ian 777]

Well thats no big deal seeing you can get 3 new extra large ones free from XM Seller :YeaBaby:

[DierWolf]

LOL

i knew it would come back to bite me in the ass.

well i've gone and got a flycamone2 for doing videos instead.. going to be a better picture.. and less chance of interference.. still going to do a range check next flight.. i've only just started to do turns.

you could have stuck to the wireless (in case you ever wanted to move to FPV flying) just you needed to use 900mhz camera's instead of 2.4.

Yes indeed check range etc, 2.4 is a strange beast and can screw you when you least expect it... Many swear buy it but i'm still not convinced.
