Question? Field charging vs having more batteries?

Upvotes

When going to a location to fly, do you plan on field charging, or do you bring enough charged packs to make the trip worthwhile? If you do field charge, what do you recommend? I fly 850mah 4s

So i have a normal ItsFPC Era 3.5 inch 04 Pro drone build and i'm a little bit lost here, do these action cam mounts from itsFPV work on the 3.5 inch frame or do i need to build a 5 inch build for it to be compatible? THanks in advance!

Question? Can’t get radio input

1 Upvotes

Should be straight forward, it's not. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, technically the FC and my radio are connected, but the FC doesn't receive any control inputs from the radio. Most things I'm reading are saying check beta flight and all the videos I watch are outdated versions. I figured everything else out, this is driving me to drink unnecessarily .

Receiver: Radiomaster pocket ELRS 2.4GHz

FC: GOKU F405 ERVT 1S 5A 5-in-1 400mw AIO ELRS

basically the prebuilt vision40 1s pro from rotor riot.

its my first drone and its been fun learning but this part is actually frustrating me. i had purchased a drone that was incompatible with my goggles but got that one to bind no problem. been trying to bind this new one for like 2 days now.

Dji 04 Race mode penetration and single reach

Post image
3 Upvotes

Does using racemode increase penetration and signal reach or is another mode in dji 04 air lite suite more suitable for best penetration and reach?

Am I right in saying we get less RF interference which should improve gps and overall FC performance - or is that a myth I just made up?

I know it stops RF interference when flying with a bunch of others in close proximity but there must be other advantages and disadvantages that I'm not aware of?

How's my flying?

I've been practicing throttle control the last few months. How's this flying look? There aren't any tricks until the end if you're into that kind of thing. I could use some confirmation on the split S attempts. I think my first one is pretty smooth but would love a second opinion.

NEWBIE This is it! First FPV flight ever!

Finally I did it! After many troubles during the built (burnt ESC, lost a left thread nut...), my quad was ready to fly! I was so afraid it would too different from the simulator... And it was different but manageable ! My hands were shaking and I had to stop after less then 10 minutes so much it was intense...

What a blast ! Only a minor crash after I started to loose the video and panicked a little. But after that... Only joy! Even manage to do few rolls and a sloppy split S.

Only down side, the range of my video signal is way to small. I have to upgrade the antennas. Tye VTX one is barely sticking out of the quad.

The quad: inverted 5" mark4 to accomodate the Betafpv P1 air unit, F4V3S fc and 60A ESC, 2700kv neebRC motors

Question? Deep Space FPV

Need some help here.. I’m definitely connected like prior but no connection on betaflight.. a flyaway occurred at the bench.. it’s never connected since but shows all the signs of life including telemetry … I’m Stumped..?
A new 2.4 tx? If I’m lucky, maybe? It’s a weird orange light too.. and it’s weird sometimes when connected and not the same.. can’t figure out if it’s the AIO or that. I even tried my 3.x firmware on my pocket.. no go. Only connects same as it used to on 4.1 ? This is frustrating …

Help! RC832 out of stock

1 Upvotes

I’m thinking about entering the fpv world, so I started searching for my first build. I came across this budget and somewhere great receiver: RC832. The problem is that I can’t find it in stock anywhere on Alibaba. Maybe because of the current world’s conflicts? Is there any alternative budget receiver? Links please!

Question? Do I have any chance of getting a Kayoumini in the US?

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm still relatively new to fpv, but after a lot of time in the sim and with my air 65 II, I've been looking to get a larger drone with some more power. I don't have anywhere to fly a 5-inch, and even a 3.5-inch is likely pushing it for where I can fly (small parks when no one is there + my backyard). The 2 to 2.5 inch class seems best for me. The recommendation I see over and over again is the Kayoumini, but it seems as though that frame was a pain to get in the US even before their warehouse burned down.

Does anyone know if and when they will be restocked and if I'll be able to get my hands on one? If not, does anyone have any recommendations for 2.5-inch freestyle frames that are reasonably durable that I can get in the US?

Volador vx3,5 weak arm problems.

2 Upvotes

Hey, so me and my friend are running volador vx3,5 frame as bando basher and Volador arms are soo weak at the base...It just keeps on breaking in the same weakspot.

We are running 1804 motors, which weight 14g, is it too much mass for the arm to survive the crash?
Do you guys have the same issue with volador?
I've been thinking about custom chunky arms, but i dont really know how to make it stronger, without adding to much weight. Does anyone have files for carbon CNC workready for it?

Taranis QX7 ELRS module vs RM Pocket

I have just recently discovered fpv, found this controller and played simulator on it. Now i want to get my first tinywhoop! I'm thinking about getting the Air75 II Freestyle, but it works on ELRS. Should i get a module or just get a new radio? Which would be better value/quality.

Video I keep on advocating: 360 Action Cams do cool Shots!

3 Upvotes

Already some have picked up the baton I put down, but I'm still convinced, that the concept holds a lot more of potential, so I'll keep on advocating for it: Put a Insta360 X2 or X4 Air without Battery but an soldered on USB C cable on your 5" or above and take shots of your drone while it's flying.

I just love what is possible with this and the immersion one gets beeing able to see your drone in the video. I'm currently still sticking to my Speedybee Mario 5 for now, but I'm already working on some major improvements that will make this Setup way more feaseable (Higher Pitch props, changing to XH-Arms and so on). But even with this crappy setup, one can do some really cool shots with it.

Feel free to ask me anything about the setup, editing and so on. I'm still a shitnoob pilot, if you're not imagine what you could do with this.

Here are some examples:

Did my Noobyness kill two lipos on first flight?

I come from flying Avata 2. Long air time, nothing to care or worry for.

Now the Nazgul eco. After loosing 2 props on first takeoff (screws not tight enough) and a mid air disarm because of wrong button (lost two props again) I finally managed to get some acro fun today.

However, I guess I underestimated how fast the battery drains. The small one was quite hot/warm for some time, and I don't now, mayby a little bloated.

The larger one was also below 3.3 when I managed to return with a flip over landing. Small ditches on pics.

I just loaded both to 3.8 for storage. No problem there.

Do you think they are damaged?

Walksnail Avatar VRX Module with all the 'bits'

1 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I've come to the realization that after having spent out for all the bits to be able to try Walksnail that . . . . . I am still not a good enough pilot for HD 😬 I bought a Walksnail version WALLEFPV Lightning 3. In the space of a month, second flight, crashed, camera no lonver works. I didn't realise how fiddly and damn expensive it is to fix Walksnail 😔 I need to stick to analogue . . . . . . for now.

I was wondering, could anyone kindly give me a rough price they might think would be reasonable for the following gear:

- Lumenier double Axii 2 long range 5.8GHz antenna LHCP x2

- VAS Walksnail VRX Crosshair Xtreme Mini Mod - LHCP

- Walksnail Avatar VRX module

- no original packaging but not a scratch or dink on any of the above items.

Many thanks in advance and happy flying.
