Skyzone RD40 FPV 5.8G 40CH Diversity Receiver for RC Drone
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
Pretty good receiver but has quite a bit of interference. Have tried with different antennas but still not as good as cheap goggles. BG suppressed my first two reviews of this item because I gave less than 5 stars. Always read the review content. The stars are meaningless on this site.
хорошее качество, до Москвы дошло за 15 дней
To take advantage of the antenna diversity, you need to use it with two different antennas (e.g. clover antenna and panel antenna or helical). The receiver always uses the stronger signal and you don't notice the switching of the antennas. The range is more than 500m if the panel antenna is aimed at the transmitter (I use a 25mW transmitter - as more transmission power is not legal in most european countries). I'm very satisfied with the product!
nice item to use does not fit so well in my goggles but a very interested item in order to use This together with a directional antenna and a cloverleaf antenna
Actually the product is of medium quality, but worth not little, in general it is possible to use
really great products and the reception is now 80% better !!!
It is a nice receiver, with good antennas you will get a very clear image. The only problem is that it get a bit hot.
For ground stations & viewers.
Base Station I got the Skyzone RD40 FPV 5.8G 40CH Diversity Receiver, and the Eachine EV100 Micro AV Recorder. Both units have 2.5mm female sockets, but the three included cables are 3.5mm male <-> 2.5mm male. Also, the SOCKETS, and PLUGS have FOUR CONNECTIONS. Could not find the right converters on Banggood. After viewing over 200 web pages on Walmart, I found the correct 3.5mm female <-> 2.5mm male converters. They cost $6.99 for three, and that includes shipping. Delivered in two days. Here is the link: https://www.walmart.com/ip/KABOER-3pcs-2-5mm-Male-To-3-5mm-Female-Stereo-Audio-Headphone-Jack-Adapter-Converter/305123006 Hooked together monitor, reciever, recorder, and everything worked fine !
The RD 40 works very well in my Quanum DIY V2 Googles. If You use it with the Quanum Googles, you need a 4-Pol 2.5mm 3.5mm Adapter for Video Out to Monitor.
