I found this drone on Instagram and figured it looked fun. So what's the best way to start with FPV drones? Do I buy one new or build one myself? Are there any specific models I should look for? This one in the picture looks cool; it's not that big either.

Randomly lost control of the drone and it fell down. I don't understand what was the problem because after the crash drone still works fine, haven't had the same problem again.

Frame: Rotorama Dito Pro 5"

FC: GEPRC Taker F405 (ICM42688-P)

ESC: GEPRC 60A BLS V2

Motors: iFlight XING2 2506 1850KV

VTX: HDZero Freestyle V2 1W

Camera: Runcam HDZero Nano 90

RX: Radiomaster RP3 V2 Nano Dual ELRS 2.4GHz

Bought this antenna a long time ago and when i had no clue about RHCP and LHCP. There isn't any text with the polarization direction. There is this arrow below the logo but I'm not sure if that indicates the polarization.

Clip is from the OTUS Project on Instagram, their work is super cool!
Apparently they designed and 3D printed these with bambu printers specifically for flying through storms

Hey folks ! Thought I'd show one of my rare flights outdoor !

I fly an Eachine QX95s with first gen EV800 and Flysky i6 lol

Had those for 11 years now, only flew rarely as I was a total noob, and ofc, I was flying in stab...because I wasn't confident in acro lol

Only recently, I got back in FPV and brought back those from the attic, adapted my quad for tiny whoops lipos, changed my EV800 battery for a 18650 and started training flying in acro !

Recently got a RM pocket for training on simulator and just got an ImmersionRC Vortex 150 to tinker with

If you guys have any advices, feel free to !

Today I built a drone using the frame and motors from an Air 75 II Freestyle with a VTX O4 Lite. I also have 580 batteries, giving me a flight time of at least 4 to 6 minutes.I'm surprised how well this works. I don't have any jello. I'm in love with this little thing 😍

No download, no launcher, no account: open the tab and you’re flying a flying-wing over an island. It’s built on Babylon.js v7.

So I recently crashed my meteor 75 pro into my dogs water bowl and I let it dry for 48hs and now when I’m trying to test it in betafligh it won’t connect it flashes green but won’t connect and then when I press the button to connect nothing moves every setting it at zero and the CLI won’t respond can anyone help me?

So my meteor75 o4 was good for almost 2 weeks but yesterday i started hearing a weird sound and now 1 motor is doing this… I don’t know it the sound is coming form this motor but it’s the only one working weird. The sound was present even without the tape (it’s a momentary thing for test). I could still fly but I’m pretty worried…

What is better for pure analog experience and daily flying? 

DJI Avata 2 in Sport Mode, flown with the FPV Remote Controller 3. I’m working on keeping the lines smooth while flying low between the trees.

What are they cooking here? Any guess?

So I'm going on vacation and i want to take my drone with me, but im concerned about the heat. Im going with a car and staying in a small tent so i dont have airconditioning for storing while im not flying.

I have a torvol lipo safe bag that is 3/4 full, i know that to charge the batteries they need to be cool, my flight time will be impacted all that. The thing that concerns me is when im doing something else, how en where do I store my gear?
if i leave it in the car, it will get to hot, in the tent it wil get to hot. Ive seen some tips on putting the lipo bag between the ground and the tent so ground temprature keeps it cool (with the risk of it being stolen).

what are soms tips for taking my gear with me? where to put my lipo bag? where to put my gear? can i leave that in the car or also a no go?

thanks in advance :)

If you have, please let me know your experience and if you could, the store you bought it from.

What are some online fpv stores in the USA that are not Pyrodrone, Get fpv or race day quads

Hey, so I unpacked my new goku f722 pro v2 stack yesterday and soldered everything together, but I have two issues…

Here is a list of my material :

\- Frame : JeNo 5’1
\- Motors : T-motor Velox V2306 v2.0 (2400 kv)
\- Stack : Goku F722 Pro V2
\- Receiver : Radiomaster RP1
\- Radio : Radiomaster Pocket
\- VTX : DJI O4 Pro
\- Goggles : DJI N3

Problem 1 :

Basically, I had a SpeedyBee f404 and I flew a bit with it, successfully binding it to my goggles and showing the OSD with no trouble. But now that I changed this stack with the new goku, no matter the UART I am choosing, my goggles won’t show the OSD but only the native parameters it usually shows and the camera. I tried every UART there is, without changing the bound rate or nothing, and I did activate the VTX (MSP + DisplayPort) option on Betaflight every single time accordingly to the UART I activated.

Problem 2 :

As soon as I apply a little tiny bit of throttle, my motors decide to turn uncontrollably… The last time it happened on my SpeedyBee f404, I deactivated the Airmode and everything worked perfectly, but it didn’t work on this FC… I didn’t change any BLHELI settings, just configured on Betaflight for now. However the weird part is that when I control my motors from Betaflight, they act completely docile and follow the cursor perfectly… They only show an erratic behavior when controlled from my Radiomaster pocket which responds perfectly in Betaflight.

I’m kind of stuck so any help would be useful at this point 🙏 thx a lot.

I was wondering if someone could help me get some satalites, i am aware that the gps should be away from carbon fiber frame, so i mounted it on top of the frame where therr are gaps in the frame. Also i have used thick doible sided tape in between thr gps and the frame.

Edit: i have managed to get 4-5 satalites but on the osd the satalite thing is flashing and not just on. Clause says this is because it still doesnt have a good 3d lock although in betaflight it is showing my location pretty accurate like 4 houses from where i actually live

Been eyeballing the GEPRC Mark5 DC and was wondering what everyone thinks of it. If you own it what do you like and not like? I was debating on this or a deepspace seeker 5 DC

Absolutely amazing.

Sent goggles out for a repair (glass part of lens was loose) and they arranged for the goggles to be picked up, shipped to Croatia and repaired for zero cost.

Shipment by DHL took a few days to get to Croatia;
Orqa had the goggles for a single day and did the repair. Shipping was around 3 days to get back to the USA

Customer support was excellent with around a days wait between responses and updates along the way

Not trying to glaze orqa but rather impressed with this entire process, seemed very efficient.

Goggles were originally bought from a USA vendor (orqa required proof of purchase)

Just sharing my experience ; eventually going to go a review of the goggles (I still think they are crazy expensive but as far as I’m concerned the warranty they have is solid)

Since the beta vr04 are out of stock im looking for an alternative in same price range, im not sure if i should get the vr03 for 86 usd.

This is going to be my first goggles and im planning to use them with an air 75 ii racing.

I saw Nils Van video about latency, and saw that the ev800d are worst in that aspect, and more expensive.

Do you recommend a better alternative??

I am looking to move away from DJI drones but would still like to use my DJI n3 goggles. I have a license and can go over 250grams when I am in the correct airspace.

Right now I am looking at the Flywoo Explorer LR 4 V2 O4 Wide.

I have zero issues with soldering and have a 3D printer capable of printing LW-ASA and TPU.

Am I looking at the right drone? or should i be looking at something else?

Today while flying quad disarmed for no reason. I don't even know how to describe what showed in blackbox, so here is screenshot. These short ARM OFF-ON (the quad didn't actually disarm during them) are for the whole flight, but one every 20 second, except for end and 20 seconds before real disarm. In the next flight after changing battery, issue was gone (so no short ARM OFF-ON). Can someone explain why did that happen?
(sorry for bad english)

Is anyone aware where can I get those or something similar enough for my crux 3 nlr?
