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 camera or video transmitter antenna losing optimal orientation or signal strength. When you bank your wing, the antenna’s angle changes, which can reduce the signal quality. To fix this, first check your video transmitter and receiver antennas. Use circularly polarised antennas on both ends, as they maintain better signal during changes in orientation. Next, position your antenna away from metal parts or carbon fibre that can block or reflect signals. Try mounting the antenna vertically and ensure it has a clear line of sight. Additionally, verify your video transmitter’s power output suits your flying range. If you’re flying close but still get break-up, it might be interference from other devices or poor antenna connectors—make sure all connections are tight and cables are undamaged. Finally, test flying in an open area to rule out environmental interference. These steps should improve video stability when banking your wing.
