TBS Crossfire Micro V2 Low River Run Test 😎 - AR Pro FPV
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 FULL SETUP AND LINKS IN DESCRIPTION BELOW ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ (Click 'SHOW MORE'👈🏻 )
Time to see if TBS Crossfire Micro V2 has what it takes for me to fly nice and low along a river behind land and trees. Max power output on this unit is 1w and I have it set to Dynamic power mode so it will adjust to the power automatically to try and achieve a high Link Quality (LQ). I'm using stock antennas both ends, the receiver is a nano with an Immortal T. I also brought out the True RC Gatling antenna for my video on this run, as it produces the clearest results. Pretty gusty day, you'll see from the DVR recording, I even had my tripod blow over! Hope you guys find this interesting anyway :)
I got the info about the CF RF modes from @JoshuaBardwell in the following video, so check that out if you want to know more on this subject: • Crossfire RSSI not 99?...

Had a lockout on my R9M at close range yesterday on my quad. Not heavily invested in it, I decided to give it the push. Ordered a Crossfire Micro V2 TX Module and a Nano SE RX.....The new TBS App that runs under OTX finally pushed me into it. This and the RF in OSD etc...This is your fault....lol...

Lockout at close range is bad news, flying with a reliable control link makes the hobby so much more enjoyable. I think buying a CF is a good move and you’ll really like it.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it🤘🏻 I think it's new OSD items in iNav 2.6.
Thanks, very interesting ... I would have guessed that 1.2 GHz video TX, being relatively close to the 900 MHz crossfire TRX's frequency would desensitize it, but it seems they have quality bandpass filters on the front end of the tiny trx that avoids this effect. Since we have mobile networks operating around 900 MHz in Europe, I guess they had to add very good front end filtering to maintain good receiver sensitivity without being overloaded by the very strong nearby signals. I am planning to build a long range wing this Q2 as well and am still unsure if I should go with a digital high res DJI FPV system or since I am a radio amateur, also operate a 23cm (1.2 GHz) analog transmitter that I can run with as much power as I like. If going analog I have to put a real ground station together, which has the beauty that I can build my own high gain antennas and get a very good range. The problem is that I am already spoiled with a digital 720p HD signal from my Parrot Disco wing and as I see here on KZread, watching analog can be painful at times. Though your analog system looks pretty good. I guess I have to make up my mind soon and order stuff from China, since it will take a month to get here and the fun flying climate is coming to Germany soon.

Whatever they've done it works. I'm running mine on the legal channel here which is 868. I also have a 720p HD FPV system on my mini Talon (Shark Byte) and to be honest although the picture is clearer, i prefer 1.3g analogue so much more. The freedom it gives you cannot be matched by any HD system that exists today unfortunately. In fact I'm going to sell my HD system and stick with analogue 1.3. Cheers

Great content as usual! 👍 How much did the crossfire affect the video quality? Did you use a notch filter? Didn’t know you could use crossfire with 1,3 ghz video without interference. That’s why I use 433 ghz mfd link but I would love to use the crossfire instead.

There was no loss in video quality, as you can see from the live feed my video was pretty solid throughout most of this. I used no notch filters, I believe the trick is physical separation between your CF Tx and tour video receivers.

Hey Darren I know you no longer have your ar wing pro but looking at this video I'm just wondering how and why did you install the immortal t antenna out on looks like almost to the wing tip? I have new wing s coming for mine and will do the same as yours. Were did you mount the receiver? Did you use the extra long 120mm antenna? I've always mounted my rx antenna vertical in fuselage on one side and 5.8ghz fpv antenna on other side of fuselage. I'm thinking the way you do it might help with signal for both. Just to let you know after following your advice on autolaunch this wing launching pretty good, I used to launch in cruse mode and I never took a few steps in direction of flight, I now activate autolaunch in manual,a few steps forward and away it goes in straight line like magic. It's taken me 2 years, alot of glue, a shit load of spare parts but this technique is what resolved my issues. Thanks so much

Hi Jay, yes you'll need a PWM converter as without an FC you have to plug servos and esc cable into the RX

How is your RSSI so high? I'm using the exact same CF module and rx and antenna. On 500mw as soon as I'm 200m away my RSSI is at 40and it just slowly goes down from there. I think maybe different firmware is reporting different RSSI levels

2 things. Firstly there is a problem with your setup. You should not be on 500mw at 200m. I’ve heard of people being at 10km on 25mw in ideal conditions with a good setup. Secondly are you talking LQ or RSSI, because I’m displaying LQ not RSSi.

@@AdamGdoesFPV Could you check and see what your RSSI is at like 2.5-3km? I feel like that information could be useful. I see that you're displaying Lq instead, and it's pretty much 100-90, I must be in a very noisy environment I Fail-safe at 3km my LQ is solid at 100 up to 2.5km then it goes to 60-70 and RSSI is 50 at 100m then it shrinks to 35or less at 1km.
how did you get the TX output on the OSD ?

It's just an OSD element you can add in iNav. On the OSD tab you have to scroll down quite a bit

Lol that antenna is not 1.3ghz it's 1280ghz totally different channel

I think you mean 1280MHz which is 1.28GHz.... round it up, 1.3GHz I don't see the problem here. Whilst the antenna might indeed be engineered to work best with 1.28GHz, it is in fact very suitable for use on channels that are closely either side of that specific channel. In the same way as you can really only buy antennas for the 5.8GHz "range" of frequencies, these manufacturers tend to make antennas for the 1.3GHz "range" of frequencies.
