Our video transmitter has up to 32 different video channels available to avoid interference with
other channels. If two or more drones are flying at the same time, try to
select different video frequency to avoid video
interference. The bigger different in video frequency
between drones, the less interference generated.
Always check the supported channels of you FPV
