Runcam Split 2 on the Mini Talon

Runcam sent me a Split 2 to try out, so I swapped out the original Split on the Mini Talon. I mounted it using parts of the "Split Hack" from Flite Test. (links below) I like the changes they made with the SD card slot and all, but the relatively noisy analog video is still there, as are the lines you can see in the HD video if you look close. Not sure what those are, I'm guessing it's something to do with the way the sensor is cropping/binning pixels or whatever it does to get different resolutions. To get straight to the point, this Split 2 is a little nicer than the Split 1, you won't see much difference in the video, HD or analog, if you already have the 1, I probably wouldn't go out and buy the 2, but if you're looking to buy a Split now, the 2 is better than the 1... lol (SD card slot is better, wider range if input voltage)

Here's some affiliate links to the video gear I use from Ready Made R/C:
1.3GHz video transmitters (I use 200, 400, 800, and 1500mW on various planes)
I recommend this receiver to go with them. I use an older Racewood type they used to sell, but these are supposed to be at least as good with the same Comtech tuners in them. Apparently Racewood is no longer in business, so here's what replaced them:
I use this 8dbi Patch Antenna, it has been my go-to antenna for a long time now, for years! lol I've been out more then 10 miles using one of these and the 800mW vtx listed above:
On the transmitter side, the stock dipoles that come with them work pretty good together with that patch, but if you want slightly better performance and less weight/drag, consider these:
