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 break-up during banking is usually caused by changes in the orientation of your FPV antenna or signal obstacles. When you bank the wing, the antenna’s angle relative to the ground station may shift, reducing signal strength. To fix this, first check your antenna setup: ensure you’re using a circularly polarised antenna on both the transmitter and receiver, as these handle orientation changes better. Next, position your receiver antenna so it has a clear line of sight and is mounted away from metal parts or carbon fibre that can block signals. Try using a diversity receiver with two antennas placed at different angles to maintain connection during manoeuvres. Also, verify your transmitter power is sufficient (usually 25–200 mW for wings) and that your frequency is clear of interference. Finally, test your setup by slowly banking the wing while monitoring signal quality, adjusting antenna positions to find the most reliable arrangement. This approach should reduce video break-up during turns and improve overall flight experience.
