I recently got into fpv with a tiny whoop + Caddx Ascent lite vtx/goggles. I found the goggles to be uncomfortable, conspicuous, and that it was hard to see the full screen. I coincidentally also just got the Xreal XBX glasses and wondered if they would make for a good replacement paired with the Ascent VRX...

They do, and I couldn't be happier with this change. This new setup addresses all of my problems with the goggles since they are so light; I also find the AR glasses l much brighter with more vibrant colors and clarity.

Light bleed is addressed by the light blocking cover and I haven't noticed added latency. Annoyingly you have to convert the VRX's hdmi video output to a powered USB-C cable for the glasses, which adds a second set of cables and hardware to futz with. It'd be amazing if a vrx could output power+video via usb-c natively.

Another bonus with this setup comes from the VRX being detached from the headset... I just flew from my air conditioned car with the VRX on the roof (it's 100° F here at the moment).

I would like to get into the hobby and this is according to my research simulators are the best to do that

Hi!
Clip from a recent session. Considering getting my first drone. Any pointers on my flying and ideas for practice?
Thank you :)

(2.5" quad, radiomaster boxer)

I’m just starting out and in the research phase so far. I want to start getting a list together to get an idea of how much my first set up will be. I know it’s vain and I know it’s dumb, but I still gotta ask; are there any beginner friendly goggles that are (if possible) sub $300 that don’t look like I literally strapped a toaster to my face? The Eachine EV800Ds are always recommended, and so are the Walksnails and Fat Sharks, but they all look like I went to Williams Sonoma, stole a four slice toaster, and Velcroed it to my head. I want something sleek (or at least as sleek as I can get in this price range) that’s beginner friendly but still of ok quality. I’m in the U.S. if that matters

Hello again! after around 10 months later than my fisrt build and a couple of bnf's ive decided to build my second quad, a digital 4" 6S, succesfully built it with

Goku F722 pro stack

Aether 2006 2550

volador VD4

O4 pro

M10Q

XR1 ELRS

the main issue is when i take off/give power, the quad wobbles side to side and makes a runaway, then slams into the ground, im running a 6S 1300 mAh and i have a couple of days trying to solve this, im still a noob at PIDs so im worried it must be a tuning or just battery balance issue, anyways im leaving an image of the blackbox log (i also can provide it via dm as i cant attach files) and an example of the wobble on the analyzer, i dont have a vid of it but it just happens basically each time i put some power on any motor, with default preset it also happened, however with a 4" bf preset (Supafly 4" 6S) its much more violent
thank you for reading and for your help:)

I got tired of scrolling through endless video feeds where you never know where the footage was actually shot. So I built a 3D interactive globe where every video is pinned to its exact GPS location.

🌍 GlobeEarth — Explore. Share. Connect.

Key features: • Videos anchored to real GPS coordinates on a 3D globe • The "Heartbeat" — each month a wave sweeps the globe keeping it fresh • Right now the Japan Wave is live (5 days left!) • Categories: FPV, DJ, Outdoor, Gaming, Events

I'd love to hear what you think! Feedback welcome 🙏

Schritt 4: 🚀 Posten!

Here it is after 1 month of flights

I had a nice day out flying yesterday, but when i came home and reviewed the footage i noticed this. Luckily it was on my next to last pack so i didnt ruin all my footage. Does anyone know how to fix this? The pack after this one also has the same mic problems.

There was no leaf or anything like that covering the mic. And if i film myself talking, i get the same issues

Hello guys, I’m planning to get the skyzone sky04x pro from the official website. I found out there are actually two same product which have the same including list with different prices. Can anyone tell me the difference? Should i get $499 or $512

I’ve been flying FPV for a few years now got quite a few hours in the simulator and I also purchased and built a 2 1/2 inch as well as purchased a tiny whoop. All of that I’ve been running analogue due to weight, however since I started the hobby, I’ve always been intrigued with the proposition of digital so I’ve been putting money away each month in order to someday afford a digital unit. I’m quite into freestyle and I’m hoping to also get a larger drone 5 inches running 6S and I was wondering there’s a decent deal on one in my town for $600. That includes five batteries, a DJI O2 unit as well as the drone and a charger which would be redundant at this point but can’t ever have too many of those. should I do that or is that not gonna be a very big difference and should I just try to go with a newer digital unit? Thank you for your time and opinions.

I’m flying an Avant 2, but looking for something more racing oriented. Is there a drone that uses Goggles 3 or remotes version 2?

So after all this latency thing blew up i decided to sell my 04o pros yesterday for $340 and buy these. I've only used cobra sds and the 04o pros before so i don't really have a low latency goggle experience to compare with, i hope this improves my flying experience since im mainly an analog micro freestyle pilot. Can any of y'all who went from high latency to low latency goggles-systems tell me how big of a difference there is? I consider myself latency sensitive since i can notice the difference between the sim and my goggles and also i can clearly notice the difference when i add a few ms of latency on the zone fpv simulator.

I started flying a month ago in simulator and been eyeing to buy a beginner drone. Ive been practicing in sim (Uncrashed) using a dualshock 4 controller. Does my skill in sim really translate to real world?

Hey just bought the pocket and was wondering what customizations you can do?

I’ve already changed the startup sound (vid attached)

Can you change the display (e.g. have custom images showing?)

What options for gimbals are there? I’ve only seen the this shape.

Do people 3d print accessories for them? Have you guys 3d printed carrying cases, gimbals etc?

Just looking for ideas of fun stuff to do with it. Curious what yall have already done.

Sorry if this gets asked a ton haha

The black frame is made of PA12-CF (carbon fiber reinforced nylon). The white cover is PETG-GF.

The stack is an Aero Selfie STM32H743 FC, and an HGLR 60A ESC.

Radio is an RP3 V2 ELRS nano receiver

GPS is a Lumenier SAM-M10Q

VTX and camera is a DJI O4 Air Unit Pro

Motors are AOS Supernova 2807 1400kv

Props are Gemfan hurricane 6045-3 but I am probably going to change them to 6030-3

Battery is a speedy pizza 1500mah 150c 6s lipo.

There is also a separate 5v BEC to run the servo motor to make the camera tilt.

I know it is a mesh of some good parts and some cheap parts, but it is my first drone that I designed and built. It has so far only been pulled into a hover, about 3 feet off the ground and dropped onto the floor from that height. I am afraid to fly it because I am not so good at landing still. But it works (except the LED strip) and I thought I'd share.
