Yeah unfortunately mine doesn't
Upgrading the radio is the obvious answer but cant justify the cost as using the travel adjust on the fly works, just not ideal

Made a canopy for the camera out of a lemonade bottle sprayed black, to shield from prop wash and water if the air is misty or damp


Also put some ND filter film in the lens shield I made

In other news a guy flies his drone in a pit of rattle snakes then has to get the camera when one strikes it using a hockey stick

Where do you buy parts from?
My fpv 250 has mainly come from eBay or banggood.com

Quick test video with all the final touches applied to the rig, nearly zero jello and vibes, am happy with that, this video was taken with my GP3 as my 4 is away being fixed, and as always youtube has destroyed the quality, as soon as my 4 is back can start shooting something worthwhile.
I have put a piece of ND filter film over the camera lens in this footage

Is there a better video site that doesnt destroy quality?

The quality of the video is amazing! Was it breezy at all? It shows no signs of catching the wind?

FPV gear arrived for my 250 racer today. I decided on a screen to begin with, rather then goggles...as i'm such a n00b

Had a go at night for the first time, am miles away from the town though, think it looks quite cool, and I reckon up closer night time shots will look great
