Why Does My FPV Video Signal Cut Out 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 (VTX) antenna relative to the receiver antenna. When you bank the wing, the antenna polarisation changes and signal strength drops, causing interference. To fix this, first check your antenna setup: use circularly polarised antennas on both the VTX and receiver to reduce signal loss during changes in orientation. Ensure your antenna is mounted clear of carbon fibre or metal parts, which block signals. Try positioning the antenna vertically or at a 45-degree angle to maintain better line-of-sight during banking. Also, verify your VTX power setting is appropriate for your range. If problems persist, consider upgrading to a diversity receiver with two antennas to improve signal stability. Finally, inspect all antenna connections for damage or loose connectors. Following these steps should greatly improve your FPV video consistency when banking your wing.
