Fpv blacks out plz help

[Treyh267]

Hey everyone I just set up my first fpv system and am getting a Lil frustrated. I have a ts832 bosscam transmitter and receiver.
I first hooked up power to the camera and transmitter to my quadcopter. Worked fine sitting on my desk. Upon test flying, as soon as the motors turn on I lose video.

So I figured power problem. I hooked the camera and transmitter to their own 1500 3s battery and flew with 2 batteries to eliminate some troubleshooting.

STILL BLACKS OUT! As soon as I give power to the motors I lose video.

Plz help cuz if it's not the power I'm lost.

Hey Holtneil,
So I had my 5.8 receiver double taped to my transmitter.. Must have been too close together. When I send signal from my transmitter for the quad the video would cut out because I was too close to the antenna I guess. Flew and crashed in fpv for the first time. I got too far and lost video and tried to find it by throttling up. I couldn't figure the direction from that far away and failsafe kicked in and I broke 1 prop! I thought it was gonna be soo much worse!

Hi Treyh, sorry to say thats the fun of flying my friend , when your in to the 250 class quads carry a bag of spare blades , hot glue to fix arms and tape to back the glue up , FPV needs a spotter but its no help if your to far away , but while your son is still growing up your have to get your wife to spot for you and tell you when your getting to far out, also a spotter can tell you if some one is walking in to the flight path
