The accompanying videos (especially the second one) do not help the cause of FPV.  :(

Hmm, well that kind of goes hand-in-hand with the post I made earlier re Phantom 5.8 and fpv 5.8 conflicts.

Not really bad news for the rest of us, just means the 5.8 band will be ever so slightly cleaner

This only affects commercial pilots (those looking for CAA certification BNUC etc.).. the 5.8ghz band is still a EU ISM band.

I see the second video has been removed by the user.
