5.8 + cross (erls the same). The distance is 11km~, the video dump is 20m (we don't see it in 5.8, we must have done something wrong), the terrain is faint but not ideal. Cable 45m, mast 8m. Chimera drone.

That an impressive distance to send and received for a terrestrial signal. 8m high get's more range over the curve of the earth, and the Yagi gets you a directed signal, but I'm wondering how much RF this puts out. Seems like an easy return path for something with a seeker.

Wow! I always assumed it was other drones relaying signals. This makes sense though considering the power requirements.

I would not watch analog video on VR goggles...

Those are just normal FPV goggles.

Well, it's still 480i or 576i video across your whole field of vision. Dizzying, I can imagine.

Especially when they start losing signal. Really impressive stuff.

Better than digital video losing signal
