Hi,

finally I got my Mob6 2024 analog and my first observation was a really poor camera quality and diagonal white lines when the motors are running.

Has anyone else recognized this as well or did I get a bad model? 

Thanks!

Can you double check what video channel you are running on? Don't use the autoscan function (on any analog google) as sometimes it will pick up frequencies' harmonics, get confused that is the correct signal and stay on that channel. It might be on another channel. Try going through the channels on the goggles manually to find the proper signal.

Given what you describe, they sound related. Maybe it is a bad model.

Yes, I double checked this with a second receiver as well. The lines are only present when the motors are running so I guess some kind of interference by the esc in the signal line of the cam.

Meanwhile I found out that only when the front right motor is running the problem occurs. I guess the esc components on the aio radiate into the cables of the cam.

Others have reported the problem as well:

There would be 2 possible solutions for the problem with the diagonal lines interferences in my opinion. The first one is to shorten the camera wires as much as possible and the second one would be to add a capacitor either between the power lines of the cam and/or between the signal and the minus line of the camera wires. Unfortunately I don´t dare to solder on this tiny little bird and don't know which capacitor would be the right one. If anyone is braver and wiser than me, I would highly appreciate to hear from the results. ;-)

I think you're right about needing a capacitor but it should be added in parallel with the battery wires, not the camera wires. Although that doesn't help if you're not comfortable soldering one on. In my experience, lines in an analog video feed were eliminated by adding a capacitor.

Thanks! Soldering to the huge power line connectors would be maybe feasible for me, but I have my doubts that this would help in this case.

A german guy has made a video, where you could see the problem very good at minute 5:33

It seems that only the latest batch of Mob6 2024 is affected. Thats why no one of the early youtube reviewers has recognized and mentioned it.

I faced same issue on my Mobula6 (not 2024) just after switching from BLHeli_S to Blue Jay ESC. After reverting back no issue.

Looikng for solution since I would like to use Blue Jay, anyhow odd thing I have feeling that BLHeli_S has better control and is smoother.

Just a suggestion but have you twisted the motor and camera wires as tight as they can be? The ground wire wrapping around the other wires can give a little bit of shielding against interference.

Thats interesting to hear that the old Mobula6 could have the same issue. I am using BLHeli_M right now with 48 kHz and it generates much less noise in the videosignal than Bluejay. 

BLHeli_S has only 24 kHz which generates even less noise but it is no option for me because it consumes 10-15% more energy.

Which goggles are you using? In my Cobra X the diagonal lines are very visible with Bluejay. With my old EV800DM the lines are almost invisible. 

PS: In my case the wires of motor and camera are twisted to the maximum. It has no effect on the noise issue.
