LRS System Shoot Out

Watch In HD for best viewing.

In this video Alex & I test the top 5 LRS radio systems in this shoot out.
If you just can't wait to hear what the results are check out the last 7 minutes of the video as we give a complete overview of our thoughts on this test and the results. (But really you should watch the whole video its good)

We wanted to thank all the guys that sent us their privately owned systems to test.With all the test setups, running in the rain, video editing, mad scientist inspired meetings we spent close to a 100 hours on this project. We received no compensation of any type for the making of this video. We hope you learned something from this video that will help you as you continue this fun hobby of flying FPV.

Video TX& RX Tested: 1258 &1280

At the start of the video I say 1256 but that signal is 1258 sorry for this mix up.

Below are the merits of each system in a nutshell:

EZUHF - A bit pricey, but rock solid. This is the best LRS for really tough RF environments.
OpenLRS - Cheap and it works. Best bag for the buck. Upgrade to the OpenLRSng firmware for best results. DO NOT use a transmitter exceeding 1 Watt with this system and it is a good idea to coat the RX in epoxy to keep it from breaking.
RangeLink - Inexpensive and it works well. The only issue is that there are harmonics on the 1.3GHz and 900MHz bands that is going to limit your ultimate range a bit.
DragonLink - Moderately priced but serious harmonic issues. This system has extremely long range capability but DO NOT USE 1.3GHz video or your range will be severely weakened.
Scherrer - Expensive but long range. Only very slight harmonic issues measured. The weakness of this system is other transmitters on 433 MHz.
