What is the receiving distance of FPV glasses? Comprehensive analysis and measured data
In recent years, FPV (first person perspective) flying has become more and more popular among drone enthusiasts, and FPV glasses are one of the core devices, and their reception distance has become the focus of users. This article will combine the popular discussions and actual measurement data on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide a detailed analysis of the factors affecting the receiving distance and actual performance of FPV glasses.
1. Core influencing factors of FPV glasses receiving distance

The receiving distance of FPV glasses is not a fixed value, but is affected by many factors. Here is a summary of the key factors:
| Influencing factors | Description | degree of influence |
|---|---|---|
| Transmit power | Usually measured in mW, the greater the power, the farther the distance | high |
| Frequency | Common 5.8GHz, low frequency band propagation distance is longer | high |
| Antenna type | Directional antenna has long distance and omnidirectional antenna has wide coverage. | Middle to high |
| environmental interference | Urban environment is far worse than open space | extremely high |
| Equipment quality | High-end equipment has higher reception sensitivity | in |
2. Measured data of receiving distance of mainstream FPV glasses
Based on recent measured data from the Feishou community, we have compiled the following tables for reference:
| Device model | Transmit power | open space distance | urban environment distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| DJI FPV Goggles 2 | 1200mW | 10-12km | 3-5km |
| FatShark HDO2 | 800mW | 6-8km | 2-3km |
| Skyzone SKY04X | 600mW | 4-6km | 1-2km |
| Eachine EV800D | 200mW | 2-3km | 0.5-1km |
3. How to improve the receiving distance of FPV glasses?
Based on recent hot forum discussions, we have summarized the following practical tips:
1.Antenna upgrade: Replacing a high-gain antenna can significantly increase the receiving distance. Popular choices include:
2.Dual receiving module: Some high-end FPV glasses support dual receiving modules, which can increase the distance by 20-30% through diversity receiving technology.
3.frequency selection: Select a frequency band with less interference within the legal range to avoid signal attenuation.
4.flight altitude: Increasing the flight altitude can reduce the impact of ground obstacles. Actual measurements indicate that the receiving distance can increase by 15-20% for every 100 meters of altitude.
4. Safety tips for receiving distance of FPV glasses
Recently, many pilot communities have been discussing the safety issues of FPV flying:
1. Countries have strict restrictions on the transmission power of FPV equipment. Please comply with local regulations (China limits the three levels of 25mW/200mW/800mW).
2. It is recommended to set the automatic return function when the signal is lost to avoid loss of control due to exceeding the receiving distance.
3. When flying in an urban environment, it is recommended to keep flying within the visual distance, even if the nominal distance of the device is very far.
4. Check the antenna connection status regularly. A loose antenna interface will cause a sharp drop in signal.
5. Future technology development trends
According to recent industry trends, FPV technology is developing in the following directions:
| Technical direction | expected improvements | Estimated commercial time |
|---|---|---|
| Digital image transmission | Distance increased by 50%, stronger anti-interference | 2023-2024 |
| AI signal processing | Automatically optimize channel selection | 2024-2025 |
| Millimeter wave technology | Ultra-low latency, ultra-high bandwidth | 2025+ |
In summary, the receiving distance of FPV glasses is affected by many factors, ranging from 1-2km for entry-level devices to 10km+ for high-end devices. Users should select equipment according to actual needs and set safety parameters reasonably. With the advancement of technology, the FPV experience will be more stable and long-distance in the future.
