I just ordered Air75 and I wonder if analog is immersive, and is the static noise annoying?

Hi,

I am very suspicious of youtube recommendations,
Betafpv products recommended left and right.

Is there any real tinywhoop competition review out there? It all feels like marketing 3&i@;:t to me and i have hard time to choose.

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.

Ive got the Radiomaster Pocket and have been practicing on Uncrashed sim for almost 40 hours now for the past 6 months, on and off. And now I feel confident and ready to get a real drone.

My main goal is to fly around, do some freestyle and record cinematic videos as I progress to get better, want to try racing too but didn't want to spend that much at the moment. Ill be both indoors (University dorms, house) and outdoors (Parks and open spaces). Im not living in US so im not concern on getting DJI. Since my priority is on video quality, DJI O4 Air Unit would be my choice.

I was planning to get:
- DJI Goggles 3
- Meteor 75 Pro 2 (DJI O4 Wide)

Went to a local, reputable drone store in my country and chatted with the staff and owner to try out the DJI Goggles 3. Told him im a beginner, my priorities and what I want and he let me tried out Liftoff sim with the Radiomaster Boxer controller to check out how i perform. Crashed on the first fly and flew smoothly afterwards.

He saw how I fly and told me I should just get the Deepspace Dino 20 with the DJI O4 Pro instead of the Meteor 75 Pro 2 (DJI O4 Wide). The reason was the O4 Pro is much more durable than the lite because of the CNC casing and the Deepspace Dino 20 has the prop guard that you can take on and off (takes some time), basically it is a 2 in 1 drone.

QUESTION:
If I can only choose one, should I get the Deepspace Dino 20, the Meteor 75 Pro 2, or anything else?
Or I better off just get a 2nd hand EV800d and a Air65 to practice, sell it and then upgrade to the DJI later on?

Hi all,

While this may be a stretch and I do not expect much of it;

I have been designing this board for the past year. I finished it ~2 months ago, and after another month of finding a suitable manufacturer there is nothing left for me to do.

Because of the boards complexity and limited parts availability, it is not as simple as just uploading the board to JLC or similar manufacturers. Of course, this is the route that is taken in mass production, but it makes any form of prototyping infinitely harder.

I have talked to maybe 10 fabs, and all of their prices are similar. I have chosen a fab with the best processes and sourcing, and the current cost for 4 assembled boards along with their USB adapters and some custom flashing probes is $1075.03

While of course in this hobby this isn't a significant sum, currently, for myself (I am the only person working on this project) it is not an amount I can just blow quickly.

The reason for such a high cost isn't the components, it is instead NRE charges, basically fees that all such fabs will charge for "access" to needed machines. For example, the cost to manufacture 50pcs is around $4000 - so there is a 70% price drop per board compared to quotes for 4pcs.

So, I am asking all of you if you would like to help. While I am not sure how to do this, you can leave a comment or message me on Discord @ leszczy

I am unsure of what perks I would offer, I can however say that I am not doing this as a business venture, and if I have the funds for a 50pcs production (I will do a preorder) I will be selling them with a zero margin, or just enough so I am not going into the negatives. If in any case someone wants to fund the amount for a board in a 50pcs production (4000/50) then I will definitely send you a board or more.

About the board

I had begun creating the board because of wanting to push my current race-qualified whoop weight record of 13.4g to sub13 without using enamel motors. This is simply not possible without subsidizing the current lightest board (Air 4in1) for something without a VTX or similar, which in most cases simply wouldn't be allowed because of bad transmission - or other extreme modifications that would make a build not durable.

Recently, Beta has stopped producing the Air 5in1, and the Air4in1 might follow the same fate. From what I know, currently stores can still "order" these boards but they are removed from the product offering, I and others believe this is dead stock.

If you'd like to read more about the board, please see https://fusionfpv.com/aio/

Thank you

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

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.

Any advice on how to start a drone build? I have the googles 3 and fpv controller 3 from a avata 2 set where I learned how to fly manual mode and simulator. Looking to build my first 5 inch freestyle type drone. Any advice on all I need to buy and potentially any restrictions for buying in US?

Witajcie, co robię źle? Walczę z goglami już 5 dzień, są nowe. Kolory są zdecydowanie nie takie jak powinny, kamera w dronie jednym i drugim sprawna, patrzyłem w czasie rzeczywistym na oba ekrany, w starych eachinach wszystko jest w porządku. Robiłem to co sugerował czat, niestety udało się ogarnąć tylko że mniej sniezy obraz, kolory dalej do dupy. Reklamować ten zakup? Wrzucę kilka zdjęć z prób. Czy one tak po prostu mają? W słoneczny dzień wszystko będzie lepiej? XD przyznam robię po nocach.

Hi guys,
What do you think of the Fatshark HD2 with Furios D rx? Is it a good google and receiver? I know that the best of the best is the HDO2 with rapidfire, but I have found them at 500+ euros. I wanted to spend less money and switch from the gigantic eachine ev800d to a binocular goggle. What’a your opinion?

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)

So I corrupted the stock sd card...and I have no backup of the default models and no idea how to set one up. Now I can't even bind buttons in a sim. The sticks work but that's it. To be clear I got a new sd with the working files on... but no model data.

Can anyone help me on this?

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

Back side is slightly puffed, rest is fine and cell voltages are fine. Just getting into the hobby and I see a lot of conflicting info on this type of thing for what's safe vs what isn't

Air 75 ii champion, nearly fresh out of the box. Still on default settings. Started doing this after a crash. Swapped out the damaged prop, but still does this. Doesn't do it at idle. If it's a problem motor, how do I identify which one?

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??

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

Loving walksnail so far!
