Why does my FPV video break up when I bank my wing?

Question: Why does my FPV video break up when I bank the wing?

Answer: Video break-up during banking is usually caused by the camera or video transmitter losing line of sight with the receiver or encountering interference. When you bank your wing, the orientation of the antenna changes, which can reduce signal strength. To fix this, first check your antenna placement: ensure your video transmitter antenna is mounted vertically and clear of obstructions. Use a high-quality, circularly polarised antenna on both the transmitter and receiver for better signal stability. Also, try repositioning the receiver antenna on your goggles or ground station to maintain a consistent line of sight during turns. If you’re using a directional antenna, switching to an omni-directional one can help maintain signal during banking. Finally, check your transmitter power and channel settings to avoid interference from other devices. Testing your setup on the ground by moving the wing through banking angles can help identify weak spots before flying. Following these steps will improve video reliability during manoeuvres.
