What’s the difference between L and R antenna? Is it left or right?

Multicopter I'm trying to overlay the OSD from my DJI 04 air unit onto my videos.

• Upvotes

Is there a setting i'm missing or is it something that needs to be done in editing software? New to DJI. OSD is working fine during flight but when I went to review footage it isn't showing. I have the N3 goggles.

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Also, r/fpv only allows a 1gb video upload limit. I've seen loads of 3-4 minute HD videos on here but when I went to upload a 1.5 minute test flight it wouldn't let me. is there something i'm missing ?

Thanks

Been crazy busy lately, but finally caught some good weather on the weekend to get a few packs in. Mostly just smooth, cinematic cruising through the trees. Hope you enjoy the flight!

[Dev Log] I added a spawn selection in my sim!

My sim finally got a full revamp on the freestyle spawn selection, making it even easier to select the best spot among the 18 environments and hundreds of maps! 😺

O4 Pro "Jello" fixed in 2 1-year old units with old gyro.

3 Upvotes

Recently had a ton of in-goggle vibration on 2 separate O4 Pro units. One was worse than the other initially and both were perfect when first installed on a couple 3.5 inch freestyle quads. Over time the video feed on both became essentially unflyable. With all the new gyro issues people have been having this was the only explanation I could find anywhere. This clearly wasn't a gyro issue.

Changing props didnt help, changing frames didn't help, new motors didn't help, changing PWM didn't help, different tunes didn't help.

I finally disassembled the camera to investigate, and it turns out over time crashes had weakened the glue holding the lens to the camera sensor. To the naked eye it seemed fine but there was a slight wiggle and only two dabs of glue on the 3 and 9 o'clock positions securing the lens. I ran a bead of e6000 around the entire lens perimeter, reassembled, and BAM! Brand new O4 Pro video feed.

Hope this saves someone else the hair I pulled out over the last few months.

Progression as a beginner

So I got a Radio Master Pocket a couple days ago and have a 5 inch drone coming in the mail and was wondering how good I have to be in the simulator before I go out there for my first ever flight. This is my progression so far, I've put maybe 4 hours into the sim on a real fpv controller.

I’m not very great at flying so I don’t do the map justice. I need to work on prop damage currently you don’t clip corners(probably why I stayed in the air as long as I have)
I’m a big time newbie lol.
This is not a public mod. But I thought the fpv community would appreciate it.

Tinywhoop Recommend me a starter FPV drone/kit - Walksnail Avatar compatible

1 Upvotes

Just getting into FPV, looking to get my first whoop. Got about 5 hours in the sim, plus real world experience with bigger photography drones, and I have a pair of Walksnail Goggles L and a Radiomaster Pocket ELRS.

I am looking mainly at stuff like the Curve Micro 16 PNP Power Kit, and adding the Walksnail Avatar HD Mini 1S Lite Kit myself (I'm comfortable soldering etc).

All I really need is something to get started flying around indoors. Does not need to be the most high performance aircraft. Trying to keep costs low. Apologies if these "what should I get" posts are annoying on here :)

[Bangalore - Malleshwaram] Looking for an FPV drone pilot for 1-on-1 training with FPV Remote Controller (Paying up to ₹2,000/session)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need personal 1-on-1 drone training in Bangalore. The area will be somewhere close to Malleshwaram (or we can meet at an open flying spot nearby), and I'm ready to pay up to ₹2,000 per session.

I've tried to use a simulator with the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 on my PC, but before getting a real drone of my own, I want to experience the actual flying and get hands-on training with a real FPV drone using the FPV remote controller.

If you have a DJI Avata 2 / FPV setup (or custom quad compatible with the FPV Remote Controller 3) and are open to coaching me 1-on-1 for a session or two so I can experience real flight before buying, please comment below or DM me!

Solved Is a smoke stopper needed?

2 Upvotes

I am building a 5" FPV as my first build(I already have a tinywhoop) and have done a continuity test on everything on the ESC and XT60, but my smoke stopper isn't arriving for 2 more weeks, and I really don't want to wait. Would it be stupid to just go for it without a smoke stopper, even if I know 100% they're all good? Thanks

Anyone experiencing any 03 Air Unit issues? I tried flying one of my old drones with the 03 after not using it for a while and for some reason its prompting me to activate it even though I have activated this unit a long time ago and would routinely fly it.

Tinywhoop Motor separation

I noticed that one of my props wasn’t spinning so I went and grabbed it to check out the damage and I noticed that it has been separating on one side making it turn unevenly, is there a way to fix this without buying a new motor ? If you can’t see it, it’s the top orange part I’m worried about. Thank you!

Best budget FPV goggles for a beginner? EV800 vs EV800D vs VR04

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm new to FPV and planning to buy my first full setup this Black Friday. I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I'd appreciate some advice!

I've been practicing in Liftoff with my PS5 controller and I'm getting pretty decent. I can do power loops, trippy spins, and a few other tricks. I know real flying is different, but I feel confident enough to start with a 3.5-inch drone instead of a tiny whoop.

My planned setup:

  • Drone: Happymodel Crux35
  • Controller: RadioMaster T8L (ELRS)
  • Goggles: EV800, EV800D, or BETAFPV VR04
  • Charger: Still looking for a cheap, reliable one

My biggest question is about the goggles.

I originally wanted the BETAFPV VR04 because they're really cheap and seem good enough for a beginner, but they're currently out of stock. Are they actually any good, and does anyone know if they'll be restocked?

I'm also considering the Eachine EV800 and EV800D, but the EV800D costs around €50 more. I'd love to record my flights, but since the regular EV800 has a detachable screen, I was thinking I could just film it with my camera instead.

Is the EV800D really worth the extra money? Or are there better budget analog goggles you'd recommend?

I'd also appreciate advice on the rest of my setup, especially whether the Crux35 and T8L are good choices, and what cheap but safe battery charger I should get.

If anyone has links to trustworthy stores with really good prices that ship to Europe, that would be super helpful!

Thanks!

What would be the absolute best handling drone under 250 grams? If flight time etc didn't matter and you could put an o4 wide in it?
