DJI FPV HD System (draft)

I'm preparing the DJI FPV systems review (my current project, lot's of fun, very interesting!).
You can already see my own notes and get a ton of info from it - or you wait until my video is finished and consume it with some popcorn...
The txt file above is a work in progress...

Antennas  - for example - look like this:


First video: Latency test - see what I found while measuring it on the oscilloscope:

My test-setup:
I use 1mW on the transmitter, 5m distance to a VERY SENSITIVE receiver (Aaronia Spectran HF6065 -150dB!) and take enough samples from the -DB reading on the display to get an average.
The VTX is warmed up before the test - this way I can be sure it stays at the same output level for all antennas. This is not 100% accurate. On start I had 815uW and after 1h testing it showed 1029uW or 1mw - but this should not impact measurements too much!

Treewipfl Surfing - relaxing Freestyle after a long day...

This was a new spot for me - first packs carefully flown there - got better with each pack tho :) Just about the best sense of freedom after a long business day and some hours behind the steeringwheel...

Flew my SpeedyBee 5" drone with Foxeer Box 2 (+ND16 filter) in 1920x1440 converted to 2560x1440 Superview with NIEK script (more here: https://youtu.be/uoD4vURHBGs), upscaled to 4k60 for best youtube codec - hope you like the effort :)

Please support with 👍 and 🔔 thanks ;-) it helps a lot!
