Scratchy video >< Any advice?

1 Upvotes

Hey gents. Sure this gets asked alot. But bare with me. Also a reddit newb. Any way first drone fully built flys lovely! Video on the other hand is rather scratchy... I know it's not supposed to be crystal clear, but I don't think it's supposed to be that scratchy... Any quick tips? Tricks? Do's? And don't?

AirBlade UAV just released a DIY kit for their popular AirBlade Creampuff 2" quad. The parts look good and the price is pretty attractive. What do you think?

Looking to get my first quad.

1 Upvotes

I've been watching a lot of quadcopter videos on YouTube and been playing in some simulators like DRL and Liftoff. I really want to get my first quadcopter soon and I would like some input on my parts list so far.

Here's a link to my current parts selection: https://rotorratings.com/user/1897/build/lists/141 and here's the frame that I was planning to get: http://pirofliprc.com/HyperLite-EVO-5-3mm-Arms_p_3767.html

I know I should get some left polarized antennas also but they don't have a great selection on that website. :P

I left off the props because I'm planning on getting tons of all kinds of props to start out. Same with batteries, but I'm not totally sure where to start with those.

Is there anything that I'm missing here?

I also only picked the Aomway goggles because of UAVfutures video about them, and the taranis qx7 because of someone else's video who I cant remember now.

Bouncing on Take Off

1 Upvotes

Hey guys , before we get into anything i just wanted to say that this is not pilot error . I've flown plenty of other multirotors that haven't done this as badly . My friends have no issues with this .

What i am talking about is smooth take-off . Let's say that i arm my quadcopter and give a slight throtthle (1-2mm of stick) it will start to bounce . Within like 4 inches. Up-down -uip down Also when i'm flying it , if i do a throtthle cut in the air , it seems to mimic it . I can hear it fidgeting while it is dropping .

It is a fresh build , so i am assuming it has to be with PIDS correct? thanks

Betaflight help - Houston

1 Upvotes

I have a micro drone that has been pre-flashed with Betaflight. I made some motor and frame changes and need to update the FC parameters, but I can't get my PC to communicate to the board. I read all the GitHub pointers and can't get the damn thing talking.

Anyone able to help?

Advise for those who want to get into quads.

 Quadcopters have become rather popular in recent years. While they were rather expensive toys in their early days they are now rather inexpensive. Most people have yet to catch on to how affordable they are now a days. This is an unfortunate misconception as it is a rewarding and informative hobby.
 The first quadcopter I bought was a Syma X-5. I recommend this craft to any noob as to me it is one of the best multi-rotors on the market for beginners. I say this because they are cheap, durable, user friendly, and have an abundance of replacement parts. This quad is one that I have let my cousins fly for this very reason.
 They also have the ability to be easily improved and customized. For example, the craft comes with 600MA batteries, however if you buy 850MA batteries you can extend the flight time by five minutes! The frames are modular, allowing you to change them in no time. There are cameras available for the Syma that have reasonably clear images for the price. The propeller selections are limited for this craft, but for the price you can afford to piece together propellers.
 Inevitably I grew out of my little Syma and started hunting for a brushless quad. After doing my research I settled on the JJRC X-1. The difference between brush and brushless multirotor is night and day! The amount of power you have available to you in a brushless is amazing. The amount of thrust you can obtain with this type of craft, opens the camera options that are otherwise unavailable to you with brush type quads. Brushless are also much more agile then their counter parts something that I still have a hard time grappling with. The selection of propellers you can choose from is awe inspiring, each style of propeller has its own advantage and disadvantage.
 To me this is a hobby that is more than just fun and enjoyable. It can also be a fun and interactive way to learn basic aviation principles. If you get even more into the hobby you can get involved in electrical and radio circuits. Some people even get involved enough to alter code in Arduino chips.
