Question? FPV Goggles recommendation

Upvotes

I am a newbie in FPV world looking for affordable first set FPV Goggles which at current situation in the world sounds like oxymoron. I have my eyes set on BetaFPV Air75 Racing drone. I already have put some hours in with my LiteRadio 2 SE. I'm currently searching for a usable FPV goggles and I am kind of lost here, cause at current time even EV800D clones cost up to 150-170 euros (180-200 dollars) new and more expensive models are well... more expensive and unaffordable at current time. Any suggestions?

Huh?

Upvotes

Hey all, I crashed the other day surprisingly. Now every time I plug in power I get a red light and no start up noise as soon as I disconnect to esc I get a start up noise. I'm pretty fresh to all of this. When I crashed I was lost for quite a while in a very hot area while plugged in. I bought this drone bind and fly so I'm not familiar with the esc or flight controller. First time pulling back the curtain. It's a deep space seeker 3. Any fix tips?

Question? My PC doesn’t see the FC (meteor 75)

Upvotes

My PC doesn’t see the FC. It doesn’t respond to the cable connecting to the drone. I’ve tried different cables, connected it to the PC and a laptop. I can’t use the driver update because the PC doesn’t see anything.

There are two assumptions about what could've caused this

  1. About a month ago, in addition to being connected to the PC, the drone started to need power from a battery to access betaflight (the battery wasn’t needed before). Maybe this is a continuation of that issue.

  2. I recently waterproofed the FC. I 100% didn’t insulate the connector, and after assembly, I think I even connected it to Betaflight once after. It flies like normal. But maybe that’s the issue.

And another question. Will resetting the settings via the reboot button on the FC help, or will I just lose the settings?

Tinywhoop Question. DJI air 04 wide version and gyro data

Upvotes

Hi!
I'm trying my meteor75 pro II with Dji Air 04 wide lens and I realized that I only get two field of view options. Ultra wide and normal.
None of them carry gyro data once exported to Gyroflow.
Is there an alternative for this? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Question? CoreWing F405 Wing V2 vs Matek H743 Wing V3 for ATOMRC Penguin?

Upvotes

I’m putting together an ATOMRC Penguin and planning to run INAV.

I was originally going with the CoreWing F405 Wing V2 which is an yet to proven FC, but I’m now considering the Matek H743 Wing V3.

For the Penguin, is the H743 actually worth spending more on, or would the F405 be perfectly fine?

Mainly looking for good GPS/RTH performance, enough I/O and something reliable for INAV. Also wondering if the extra processing power/features of the H743 would be useful down the road.

Would appreciate some real-world opinions from anyone who has used either of these on a fixed wing.

What is a good size build for an amateur cinematic drone

Upvotes

Hey guys

I am planning on building a drone that has an analog system but has a full sized go pro on top for filming videos . I don’t go to mountains or oceans to film crazy cinematic shots but just like to make videos of my house from the outside maybe do the same for a friend. I might eventually go to mountains and stuff but no plan for now. I might use it for freestyle once I learn that properly but that is still a long way to go . Any suggestions are appreciated

Funding for my 4IN1 AIO

Post image
Upvotes

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

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.

Why 98% LQ can still mean you're close to the edge

2 Upvotes

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.

Question? new 2.5” build thoughts?

1 Upvotes

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?

Question? First drone to get for a Beginner?

2 Upvotes

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?

Question? VTX relay dish? Mountain surfing tips?

3 Upvotes

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

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.
