Adjust VTX Power while flying using a transmitter switch! A quick How To video for every FPV pilot!

This is one of my favorite FPV setup tips which I discovered this last summer after searching everywhere and finding no solution. "What's the point of having a high power VTX if you can't access the power when you most need it?" However setting your VTX to 800mw or a 1000mw+ is unnecessary most the time, a waste of power, and increases the chances of overheating your circuit boards. I find this modification especially helpful when testing, tuning and trying out various antennas. Another modification worth setting up is a PINIO switch or VTX shut off switch. This is really handy for protecting your VTX from overheating and conserving battery life when the drone is powered up but not flying. If you have any questions or comments please leave them in the comments and I'll will do my best to help out! Please note that you will need a VTX with Smartaudio or Tramp protocol in order to use this feature. If you have already setup VTX power settings in your OSD, then you should have no problem setting up a transmitter switch following these steps. If you have a transmitter with a slider switch I recommend using that for this setup, it's easy to access while flying and allows for several power settings. Lastly I'll be doing a video soon talking about how to improve signal range and quality, and comparing several antennas, receivers and FPV goggles. Hope this is helpful, but again let me know if I can assist.
