Mounting Considerations
It is very important to keep some distance between the VTX and ESC/FC boards for the following
reasons:
- The RF portion of VTX is vulnerable to electronic noise caused by ESC/motors;
- The RF signal can be bounced back from surfaces of boards or carbon fiber plates, and fed back
to the power amplifier in the VTX. This will deteriorate the RF signal integrity and could damage
the amplifier.
To avoid these concerns, follow this guidance for mounting the VTX:
▪ If the VTX is mounted on the top of the stack, please keep 5mm distance from the top carbon fiber
plates.
▪ Avoid mounting the VTX in the middle of the stack.
▪ If the VTX is mounted on the bottom of the stack, the VTX needs to be upside down (U.FL socket
faces down) and needs to have a minimum of 5mm distance from the bottom carbon fiber plates.
