I have Nazgul and I can get it to fit where the old XM+ was in the back in this TPU mount. If I have it there though, it fits right in this little open cut out spot in the carbon fiber top plate. Its safe there and will not get knocked off but it might be covered by a battery slightly and most likely will be touching the carbon fiber.

I have it soldered on the pads to the back of the drone so it probably would have to go in the back somewhere.
I have this double sided sticky pad stuff with Velcro on one side and i dont have the shrink wrap for the receiver.
Would it be bad to place some sticky stuff on the bottom of that receiver??

I can place some sticky velcro on the top of VTX in the back and then some sticky velcro on the bottom of the receiver and place it safely on the top of the VTX towards the antenna without stressing the solder joints too much.

I've heard that the VTX will mess with the signal and then I've heard a lot of people do this.

I'm not worried about going miles but I want it to be better signal than my old XM+.


ALSO!
This Nazgul has a RaceCAM R1 MINI and I have EV800D goggles.
I'm new pilot and I'm having trouble committing to new paths and try new things because I can't see well. It's pretty distorted and I cant make out objects like branches well you know?

What would be an upgrade for the camera that would be a noticeable difference?
And what about new antennas for my goggles?
I took off the old stock ones and replaced them with 1 little Foxier lollypop one (the red really then one) and 1 Foxier Lollipop Black one thats a little stubbier than the red. These work better but still lose signal behind small trees.

For the VTX I'm using the same black lollipop one. And running 400mw because 800mw doesnt seem to work for some reason (it loses signal at about 100ft away.)

Just trying to get better video quality really if possible! And need to find best place to place this ELRS receiver!
 (will sticky harm the Matek 2.4ghz Ceramic antenna receivers bottom?)

Thanks for the help.

Hi! 
    For the RX, it's depends on the RX, for a bunch of elrs RX, there are TPU mounts what works really well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4945742.
  I do not like to stick the RX to the VTX, It get too hot and can mess things. I prefer mounting the VTX with nylon standoffs, and the RX below, sticked to the frame.
 

 That racecam its kind of old, a newer camera may worth it. Before doing that try to get in touch with other local pilots, as you are new, Its difficult to make the distinction between a crappy camera and the general crappiness of analog video. You could also have some focusing problems with the googles.

I too have a Nazgul, and have found that the stock VTX on mine makes the claim of outputting 800mW on the unit, but it actually should only be set to 600 in the VTX table. (if it's the same unit, you'll get 25mW if you set it to 800) The stock antenna is also really bad, so replace that ASAP. The cam isn't too bad when compared to most other analog cams I've had, so either I've had a lot of mediocre cams, or it could just be analog being analog. You might just throw a TBS Unify in there if you wanna clean up that signal without much hassle. (VTX quality matters, as the cheap ones put out messy signal.)

I love it though. I heard I might be able to refocus the camera.

Oh yeah, if the cam is out of focus that'll definitely make it look bad. Most of the time you can crank left on the lens to get both the lens and locking ring to turn. Then you just get it where you want it minus a quarter or half turn, then tighten the ring, followed by cranking the lens. I'm probably going to be doing this shortly as I think my camera has debris on the sensor. Can't wipe away the specs from the lens.

Before I forget, would it be possible to post a short video or still of your camera's performance? Would help greatly in figuring out where the issue is coming from.

Yeah. I would send one but my goggles had a broken power button so I sent them back to RDQ for replacement so I wouldn't be able to record.
If these camera is out of focus it isnt by much. Its not really blurry just slightly I guess.
Man I cannot wait to try this ELRS. I havent tried it yet!
I just wanna say that Race Day Quads is an amazing company... I would never go anywhere else now.

I had a flux pen that cam in and it wouldnt flow so I emailed them and they near instantly sent me a new one. No questions asked.
My goggles EV800D's power button broke off and I emailed them and they sent me shipping label so I emailed them telling them that it was on the way then they immediately shipped out a replacement pair and it should be on its way.

I've never dealt with a better company.

I agree with you there! One time they shipped something with a cheaper service, and it only took two hours after contacting them to get refunded. Sometimes they don't carry everything I need, but they tend to be my go-to. Their free battery straps are decent too.
