General Tips & Tricks
1. Check your video channel before plugging in to make sure you don’t step on
someone else’s channel.
2. Make sure that your video frequency on your receiver matches that of your
transmitter BEFORE FLYING.
3. Be respectful of people and property around you. Drones already have a bad
reputation, let’s work to change people’s minds for the better.
FPV Best Practices
We have compiled a list of all of practices which have been tried and tested in
countless environments and situations by the QQ & TBS crew and other experienced
FPV pilots.
Follow these simple rules, even if rumors on the internet suggest otherwise, and you
will have success in FPV.
● Start with the bare essentials and add equipment one step at a time, after each new
equipment was added to proper range- and stress tests.
● Do not y with a video system that is capable of outperforming your R/C system in
terms of range. (the QQ190™ has been range tested with Frsky and Crossre systems
and these meet the criteria.)
● Monitor the vitals of your QQ190 While Flying. (R/C link and battery). It is
recommended to monitor RSSI if possible.
● Range test your radio before ying, especially if using a 2.4GHz radio system. 2.4
GHz is not recommended for long range ights.
● Do not y at the limits of video, if you see noise in your picture, turn around and buy
a higher-gain receiver antenna before going out further.
● Do not use diversity video receivers as a replacement for pointing your antennas,
diversity should be used to mitigate polarization issues.
● Improving the antenna gain on the receiver end is better than increasing the output
power (except in RF-noisy areas). 500mW is plenty of power!
