This is not a very exciting video, but I thought it was a useful illustration about how 5.8Ghz video signals can swamp a receiver under certain circumstances - even with maximum separation of channels.

Normally when I'm flying 5.8 with someone else we are flying together with the maximum channel separation, and we don't have a problem. On this occasion the two others were in a completely different part of the sky to me and landed at different times. On the ground there was about 10m between all 3 of us.

There's were no issues here in safety, although I probably asked them to turn off quite quickly once they landed :-)

I'd managed to forget my DVR for the day, so thanks to Richard for lending me his Archos so I could get this recording.
