Beta test : IMaxRC FPV System

[Daniel-Geneva]

Hi
Many thanks to Philippe from Neidhart http://www.neidhartonline.ch to test the FPV system from imaxRC Wireless VIDEO FPV SYSTEM.
What's in the Box

• Googles GS920 Setup 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz (CONS no slot for SD Card to record your video) VGA 640x480 RGB
• TS331 Receiver 5.8Ghz and TS330 2.4Ghz
• DataCable to link your Googles to you Radio
• AV Cable
• CM210 Camera 420 TV Lines
• 4 Antenna (2x2.4GHz and 2x5.8Ghz)

First impression, very easy to install (PlugNPlay system) no wiring, just plug and GO.
Need at least 1 lipo battery for the Receiver and second battery for the googles if you don't use radio.

First test : static
Put the car on the table and go on the Road with the Googles and see how's the quality of the image.
Weather : Windy / No cloud / Sunny
100m, quite good, nice quality
150m, starting to have some interferences maybe due the Buildings around me, my place

.

Second test : Car
Pictures install on the FireStorm Brushless

Really love the impression of speed with the camera near the ground, some interference but nothing bad.
Do 10mn fast driving on the parking and slalom between the trees, lovely.

Last Test : Install on a Quadcopter
See Pictures

Very simple to mount and setup on my QuadCopter (Take care how to install properly).
My recommendation as a first use with this system, Use an external Video Screen to become accustomed and go to Googles.

So now I'm going outside to test the imaxRC Wireless FPV Sytem and coming back for a resume.
Coming soon.

Back from my First Test.
Weather : Sunshine / Windy (Thank GPS)
First test without the Googles to see where's my Quadcopter and then put the Googles on.
GPS/ATT = Turn around with Googles (Clear View / w/o interferences) distance 30m
GPS/ATT = Start flying, make round, slalom w/o interference distance 75m
GPS/ATT = Start flying more far, 150m (I know the distance from my position A to point B), start to get some interference but nothing bad and back to a clear view, I want to go further 250m but I this point I've got some interference so I came back.

Resume Excellent PlugNPlay Wireless FPV System for somebody who don't know anything about wiring, video technical, just want to have fun, plug your camera on it and just fly, you'll love it.

For pricing please ask to NeidhartOnline or ask Philippe.
Cheers,

typically when you talk about problems so close a couple things come to mind from teh pictures. You want the rc rx and the video tx as far apart as possible, you want the video tx as far away from switching regulators like the naza vu........ castle bec anything, etc.the sattelite usually likes to be towards the rc rx and not cause to many problems.

the rubber duck antennas just don't have alot of range usually, especialy on 5.8. it should get static and slowly get more static till it goes away like alot further than it started getting static. if it just cuts off either polarity of the antennas is mixed up or interferrence is to blame. the flamewheels don't have alot of room to spread it all out like we need. make sure both antennas are up and down or side to side and try keeping them like that. problem with a quad is it leans to move so 45 degrees off is easily obtained and can cause the signal to go away. Circular polarized is how we get around it, can make em yourself.

The antennas on your futaba rx aren't sitting optimaly, you want them to be 90 degrees apart, if this camera signal clears up, your gonna run out of rc control. read the manual

Hi Kloner
Thanks for your comments, as I said this system it's a real plug & play fpv system for people who don't have any knowledge, or looking for a quick solution to play.
At the end imaxRC do his job.

Do you recommend two battery setup? One for ESC & one for FPV stuff?

 

[Daniel-Geneva]

For TX
You need a 2S lipo battery

For Googles
2 solution
1) Use the cable with 6 pin connected to your radio and 4 pin into the googles and you'll use the power of radio.
Or
2) Use the cable Jack connector into googles and plug a 2S lipo battery.
