Fat Shark 11 RC Vision Systems
Operational advice
 For best performance, select a channel that has the least
amount of interference. While the transmitter is turned OFF, turn
on the video headset and look at the screen as you check each
channel. Clear channels will have a consistent static background.
Channels with interference will have horizontal static lines.
 Always perform a range test before flying. This includes AV
and RC controls. Some RC receivers can be affected by the
proximity of other electronic devices particularly the AV TX.
 Try to space out your components as much as possible to avoid
interference to your RC control range (keep stuff away from RX)
 Do not use 2.4Ghz AV with 2.4Ghz RC controllers.
 Your 2.4Ghz TX will not affect the RC control of other RC users
(however, their controllers will affect your AV reception).
 Be aware of other 2.4Ghz RC users. If they turn their RC radio
nearby, they may knock out your image.
 Until experienced, practice flying in a familiar area to avoid
becoming disorientated.
 Due to antenna characteristics, there is a “null” in line with
antenna direction. You may experience excessive video breakup
when flying overhead
 5.8Ghz signal strength drops off very fast (2.4Ghz is more
gradual). If using 5.8Ghz, stay safely within solid AV range.
 For maximum distance it is very important that a clear line of
sight exists between the transmitter and the video headset. 2 of
the worst causes of interference are human bodies and reinforced
concrete.
 Place your TX antenna in open area in a vertical orientation
 Multipathing (reflections off buildings/ tall objects) causes signal
cancellation and result in broken video. Fly in open areas away
from buildings or other tall structures (i.e. barns, hills).
 The headset may become warm to touch during use particularly in
the top center region. This is normal. If you are unsure, run the
headset for 30 minutes fully powered before flying to ensure
normal operation.
 Although you don’t require any license to operate this device, you
are still legally responsible for operating in a responsible manner.
