Why does my FPV video signal 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 the orientation of your FPV antenna and signal interference. When you bank your wing, the antenna’s angle relative to your ground receiver changes, which can reduce signal strength or cause multipath interference. To fix this, first check your antenna types: use circularly polarised antennas on both the transmitter and receiver to improve signal stability through different angles. Next, position the video transmitter antenna vertically on your wing so it maintains better line-of-sight during turns. Also, avoid mounting the antenna near metal parts or batteries that can block or reflect signals. If possible, raise your ground receiver antenna higher and keep it clear of obstructions. Finally, verify your video transmitter power and channel settings to ensure they’re optimal for your flying environment. Following these steps should reduce video break-up when banking your wing.
