[Drone Racing Kit] Camera sync issues with FPV headset

I wonder if anybody would have a clue about this:

I put the micro racing drone camera the same channel and frequency as the receiver.

Then I get an intermittent image, noise, image, noise, ...  No matter what channel/frequency combination I try, it's the same issue.

I had this early on. Then it worked fine for a while and now it's back. I have no idea what is causing it.

Here's a video of the headset (Quanum. Works fine with other racing kit I have)

  Hi Gerard,

  Can you confirm which receiver module you're using for the FPV goggles?

  Also, did you say you've run it with a different Micro Drone Carbon racer, or are you referring to a different racing kit?

  All the best,

  Hi! 

  The receiver module is this Skyzone FPV 5,8 GHz 32CH RC832:  https://hobbyking.com/nl_nl/skyzone-fpv-5-8-ghz-32ch-rc832-receiver-with-a-v-and-power-cables.html?___store=nl_nl

  I've the camera from the carbon racing kit installed the micro drone 3, but I would expect the same behavior on the carbon racing kit (I received my replacement PCB today, so I'll probably try tomorrow)

  Would you think whether it is a compatibility issue between the camera and the receiver??. As I mentioned beforeI had this same issue early on (moments of snow between clear image frames), then, without changes to the setup (just another attempt at a later time) it worked fine, and now it went back to the snow-image-snow cycle.

  Any ideas?  

  kr, Gerard.

  An update on this: Today, the setup worked again without changes.  "Looks like" if I let the camera warm up a bit (leave it connected on the drone for a few minutes" that the signal stabilizes, but might be also coincidence. 

  Do you have any recommended FPV Rx system?
