Why does FPV video break up when banking 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 orientation of your video transmitter's antenna relative to the receiver. When you bank your wing, the antenna's position changes, potentially reducing signal strength or causing signal blockage. To fix this, first check your antenna type and placement: use an omnidirectional antenna on your wing's video transmitter to maintain consistent coverage. Ensure the antenna is mounted vertically and clear of carbon fibre or metal parts, which can block signals. On the receiver side, try using a diversity receiver with antennas placed at different angles to maintain a strong link as the plane moves. Also, verify your transmitter power and frequency are appropriate and legal. Finally, perform a range test on the ground with your wing in a banked position to identify weak spots. Adjust antenna placement or consider upgrading to a better antenna system if needed. This approach should reduce video break-up during banking manoeuvres.
