Fixed 180 quad

[iRobot]

Quite happy today except for the cost,,,,,after a minor incident with my 180 making contact with the ground and dying, I managed to resuscitate it today.
Decided to go for another cc3d fc, many thanks to makeitbuildit for great service  it took me less than 10 minutes to fully setup through Librepilot, must admit it';s so straight forward to use I';m very impressed.
Then a 5 minutes drive from home to quadcopters.co.uk to look at vtx';s for the fpv.......Decided to try a FX795T mini VTX 25-200 mW 40 channel.....Emax 800 TVL camera, huge thing in a metal case lol hopefully takes hard knocks a bit better ! And a pair of new LH  Immersion antennas,,,,luvly jubbly  ::)
Loads of wires to fit into such a small space but I managed it.
Had a quick fpv test fly and all seems nice with no break up of picture at 100 meters, so not bothered with a power filter luckily.
Lipo charging tonight 

Bit of a bird';s nest of wires

Holy carp Batman look at the size of that thing 

Where';s the gopro thingie going to go

Weighing in at about 3 tons lol I don';t think it could handle any more weight

Which ESCs you using?

If LittleBees then I';d put a filter on anyway as they have a habit of blowing VTX due to the braking and spikes. Just a bit of extra protection.

Lol that isn';t a metal case mate. It is a heat sink

Been using fx vtx for a while, I like them very much (essentially rebadge it is what lumenier sell and now hobbyking)
I like the led/push button thing

BUT absolutely agree with Atomiclama, although found kiss ESCs and RG 20as were worse than littlebees but active breaking (damping light) produces a power spike, if it gets large it will white out the vtx (with kiss ESCs I have burned out two of them), fix was use a 12v reg (I had it connected directly to the pdb)

I';m using emax 12amp ';s  Simon K.
I was very surprised to have no interference, that';s a first for me.
Didn';t know that about LittleBees 

I';d messed up to start with, soldered camera to 5v points on pdb.....it';s minimum 7v ! .....wondered why I didn';t have a picture, spent almost an hour going through every channel on the vtx , then the fatsharks,,,,looked at the spec and channel info booklet and saw the voltage needed  :embarrassed quick re-solder and all sorted.

No braking on those then, so should be fine.
