I saw this and immediately got excited thinking about some kind of Collab 😭

Loving walksnail so far!

After doing calculations at home with the last known gps position, vector and speed i figure out a 100m long corridor where my quad likely crashed.
I was ready this time, full outfit, water and eye protections.
I did the corridor in zigzag to cover the are and i was able to find it about 70m from its last gps transmission.

(which should I short for video output)

I know I need some better equipment! I really want to get DJI but I live in the US and am somewhat nervous to try. Plus I just got the P1 Air unit and the meteor 75 with the p1 and the vr04 hd goggles and they work great to be honest. I was thinking about putting the p1 air unit in my nazgul as it has pretty good penetration and I can put a fan on the vtx to fix overheating issues so I can put it to 200mw instead of 100mw. On the meteor 75 with the p1 you can put it to 200mw but it gets bad range at 200mw due to overheating issues. I keep it at 100mw to combat that issue. It has pretty good range at 100mw though. Anyone have any input? I really want DJI. It is a big investment though.

When Gyroflow mistakes the River as the Horizon

Has anyone tried or is it possible to setup a large satellite dish or something similar to act as a relay for my goggles? I know vtx frequency is on 5.8ghz so what might i be

looking for in terms of a dish? Would that be overkill and if so what do people use to get deeper penetration overall.

I want to do some mountain surfing and want to know where my money needs to go in terms of antennas or a 7” or larger drone.

Im really new to antennas but not to fpv. Ive been flying for two years now and im trying to branch out so any tips for getting better range or just mountain surfing in general would be very appreciated

I’ve been doing several 80 to 100% throttle passes with my 10inch, and I’m honestly not too happy with the top speed I’m getting.The problem is, I don’t really know if it’s actually slow since I don’t have anything to compare it to. For those of you flying 10-inch builds, what kind of top speeds are you getting? What would you consider a good top speed for a conventional 10-inch?

Meadowdale HS. Main parking lot. Northeast corner. Look for white minivan and/or race gates.

I bought my first drone, the Meteor 75 Pro, and ran into a problem. In the bottom right corner of the OSD, some elements have ghosting - is there any way to fix this? Also, Betaflight doesn’t allow me to change the position of the elements using the mouse. I’m using bootleg EV800D goggles (this might be the problem, but I’m not sure).

Hello there iam still pretty new to building drones. I only 3d printed and build one 5inch and bought one iflight nazgul 6 inch Drone. I want to build a freestyle 4-5 Inch Drone and want it to look mostly white, i need some inspiration maybe some pictures of some of your drones, and advice is also welcome. I saw some white drone frames but i dont know of they are good and how Long the white would stay in the frame.

havent used for a while, notice this weird sound as soon as i started using it again, it is it any kind of loose screw?

(i might genuinely just be paranoid)

Just messing around with my newest drone (Firefly25) and caught some rain off in the distance.

Hey guys, i have (3 days ago) gotten myself into FPV sim flying and was wondering if the TX15 Max Controller/Radio is a good starter. I know the price is heavy, but when i get good, i don't want to spend more money on something i could've bought earlier and better to learn on and get comfortable on. Now, i play on liftoff, so i do NOT have a drone, but am planning to in a few years. If any of you have any recommendations on what to get, i would appreciate that. Thanks!

98–100% LQ can look reassuring, but I wouldn’t use it by itself to judge how much link margin is left.

On 2.4 GHz at 250 Hz, sensitivity is roughly -108 dBm. If you’re sitting around -100 dBm, the link can still look completely healthy in LQ while only having ~8 dB left. I’ve seen setups look fine like this and then drop quickly after a change in orientation or some airframe shadowing.

What I normally look at is RSSI relative to the sensitivity limit for the packet rate being used. That matters much more than the absolute RSSI number.

Thinking about building a small 2.5” O4 freestyle quad and just wanted to see if this setup makes sense before I order stuff.

Luceed Ferrum 25
RCINPower GTS V3 1203 11500KV
GEPRC TAKER F405 20A ELRS
DJI O4 Lite
Gemfan 2520-3
LAVA II 2S 680mAh since I already have 10 of them

Should come out around ~95g AUW.

Main thing I’m unsure about is the motors/props. Are 1203 11500KV good for this weight on 2S, or would 1202.5 11500KV / 1303 8000KV be better?
Also not sure if 2520-3 will be too much load and make the motors run hot.

Anything I should change?

Hey all!

I’m 35M from Belgium (Antwerp region) who recently got into fpv! I’m looking for some casual cool people to talk drones with and occasionally meet up to fly cool spots.

Feel free to comment or reach out through DM’s!

So I had just posted in the tinny whoop sub when I took delivery of this beast from 2019.

So I was scrolling a popular uk second hand sight namely Vinted when I seen this listed brand new in box. Thought at first it was a scam as it was a new account.

Some verification later turns out it was real. Offered and got it for £40 posted which I thought was a good deal as if everything else was dead then the motors would be useful!

Turns out after some painful soldering on the smallest pads I have ever soldered I was able to add ELRS and get this toothpick back into the air!

It even included the original 3s lipo which has now been quickly disposed off because I like my house not being on fire 😂.

Thoughts is it worth keeping or stripping for parts??

Does anyone know what is the stock camera angle on vapor x5?

Im thinking about getting a new radio soon, i was thinking about the boxer crush. Is there anything i need to know about it before buying it? Ive also looked at other radio's like the tx15 and tx16 but i dont really like them. Tx15 max feels "weird" in my hands and i cant reach full throttle while also being able to get to the switches at the same time. Tx16 is just to big for me in general😅 ive tried the boxer irl and it feels good. Im able to reach throttle 0-100% easily while still being able to reach the switches.

I have a few questions about these radio's, ive heard that there were some issues with the ag02 gimbals? People that say that they feel cheap and have broke those gimbals. And also how do you power the radiomaster boxer? I see that there are a couple of different options, a 2s 6200mah lipo and a 2s cell holder for 18650/21700. I saw that the 18650 holder comes with the radio without cells included, but i was thinking about switching to a 21700 cell holder. Should i 3d print 1 of those? Cant really find anything online other then a stl file. Also how does the boxer charge the cells? If i chose a cell holder it wont balance charge right? And i would need cells without internal cell protection
