Why does my FPV video cut out 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 antenna orientation changing relative to the receiver, leading to signal loss. To fix this, first check your camera and VTX antenna placement: ensure the antenna is mounted as high and clear of carbon fibre or metal parts as possible. Use a circularly polarised antenna on both the transmitter and receiver to improve signal stability when the angle changes. Also, try repositioning the receiver antenna on your goggles or ground station to achieve better diversity reception. If possible, reduce power obstructions by moving wires and electronics away from the antenna. Finally, verify your transmitter power and channel settings comply with local regulations but are strong enough for your flight range. Testing with a range check before flying can help identify weak spots. These steps should reduce video dropouts when banking your wing.
