Understanding RSSI: A Key Metric in Long Range FPV DJI Systems vs Analog Systems

What is RSSI and how is it used in FPV systems?

RSSI, or Received Signal Strength Indication, is a critical metric in wireless communication systems. It measures the strength of the signal between a transmitter and a receiver, providing valuable information about the quality of the connection. In the context of FPV (First Person View) systems, RSSI is used to determine the health of the radio link between the quadcopter and the radio transmitter.

FPV systems have become increasingly popular in recent years, enabling users to experience a first-person view of their quadcopter’s flight. However, maintaining a reliable radio link is crucial for ensuring safe and stable operation. RSSI provides an indication of the signal strength, which can help users avoid loss of radio signal and prevent unexpected crashes. In this article, we will explore the role of RSSI in FPV and Long Range systems, its measurement techniques, and its impact on performance.

RunCam Thumb Pro

Small and lightweight cameras are in high demand for First-person view. But usually it means either heavy, or poor image quality. RunCam wants to fill the gap with the Runcam Thumb Pro.

The RunCam Thumb was quite a success – but the video quality was criticized. The Runcam Pro starts exactly there. And of course with 4K.

Getting into FPV flying – A guest post

When I started working with Multicopters in the spring of 2018, I didn’t realize the extent of what I was getting into.
My first purchase was a used DJI Phantom 3 Standard bought on eBay. Great part, great shots. Great experience the first time it took off, easy and trouble-free operation, just like the following DJI radio – also a used part from eBay for relatively small money in excellent condition. I still use both to this day for great landscape shots.
