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 breakup during banking is usually caused by the orientation of your FPV antenna or signal obstruction. When you bank the wing, the antenna’s line of sight to the video receiver may be blocked or its signal weakened. To fix this, first check your antenna placement on both the aircraft and the ground station; ideally, use omnidirectional antennas or a combination of directional and omnidirectional to maintain a strong link. Next, ensure the antenna polarisation matches between transmitter and receiver (both should be circular or linear, not mixed). Try repositioning the antenna to a location on the wing with less interference from the airframe or control surfaces. Also, verify your video transmitter power is sufficient for your flying range. Finally, test your setup in an open field to reduce multipath interference. Following these steps will help maintain a consistent video signal during banking manoeuvres.
