Interference, lines, when motors engaged..

[Adiktid]

I'm getting some interference as soon as my QAV250s motors start spinning and causes vertical lines and some distortion.

I'm using a Fatshark Dominator set on 5.8GHz with an Immersion 600mw vTX and polarised antennas.

I tried adding a capacitor to the vTX power in which is taken from 12v off the QAV power distro board but hasn't made any difference.

Any suggestions? I do have the Fatahark filter to use but not tried it yet..

yes use the  fatshark filter those lines will go i use one works perfect

[xxpitt]

also could try adding a ferite (or what ever its called) ring before capacitor help with my video alot

[Adiktid]

Going to use the Fatshark filter on the QAV250 V2 that my cousin is flying and I'm going to attempt the filter with a ferrite ring on my own. Should have one somewhere..

So the filter has made no difference

My camera is a Sony 520TVL from a 900MHz HK video TX/RX set and runs on 12v which comes direct from the Lumenier power distro board.

Could it be the power to the camera? Not sure how I can combat it

[MrBen]

is your camera on the filtered power supply?

is your camera on the filtered power supply?

It's just coming off one of the solder points on the Lumenier Distro Board.

[MrBen]

so both cam and vtx have filtered power?

Not familiar with the fat shark filter, have you (is it even possible) connected it the wrong way around?

[brodjackella]

them fatshark filters work mint,on all my craft,zero interference

Noticed your on 900mhz I couldn't get a great picture on the 900 gear I tried but I'm in the uk not sure where your based.

I was using 5.8GHz on this. ImmersionRC 600mw tx.

MrBen it's just the vTX that's filtered.

Oops sorry my bad didn't read correctly ...

Oops sorry my bad didn't read correctly ...

I do have a 900MHz set, a 1500mw one that's just too heavy to use on the 250 but will keep it for another project.

[MrBen]

filter the cam too!
