Question Key chain camera, interference??

I was reading that someone mounted a Keychain 808 camera on a drone and they found out that the receiver range was dropped in 1/2 due to interference from the camera. Has anyone tried this cam on an RC airplane and noticed any interference?

Years ago when they were popular I had them on planes from parkflyers to 120 size planes and never had any issue using Spektrum 2.4ghz and on 72mhz. I've since moved over to Mobius and Swift cameras.

Now I suppose some of the 808 cameras may leak RF and when mounted on some cheap planes or quads with cheap receivers inside that may cause some issues.

I use them now and then and never noticed a problem.

Default Good to hear...

Thanx for the replys! I’m not so concerned about using them now.
I have a new battery coming in for the cam. Wish I checked things out better. A new cam is almost the same price as just the battery.

Yes, I considered those things disposable at the time.........unfortunately.
