180QX Great for FPV (Review)

by mitchellcook5 | February 9, 2014 | (0) Posted in Reviews

I bought a 180Qx for indoor fpv because that's was all I thought it could handle.  After I got it and flew it fpv for a while in my house I decided to try it outside.  Impressively it was able to fly over 1000ft away and handle over 20 mph winds.  Fpv with this thing is a dream indoors and outdoors as well.  I fly with fatshark attitude SD goggles and I also use a Walkera TX5805 video camera/transmitter combo.  The narrow lens is the only drawback only 45 degrees.... Come on now.  I found a 130 degree lens of FPVHOBBY.com for nano cameras and it should greatly improve the fpv viewing quality.  You get about a 50 meter range with the transmitter, so about 300ft before it gets too glitchy to fly safely.

How were you able to get 1100 if it's too glitchy to control after 300 ft?

Control transmitter range vs. fpv video range, zcar.
