FPV

Didn't see any grass in the camera after crashing...so why won't it lift off?? Oh..

I was pretty into flying back when whoops were new but stopped for financial reasons. Recently, friend got his license and I caught the bug again watching his videos.

Got this Mobula7 and have been having a blast. My old box headset has an awful receiver but I got a crazy deal on some Fat Sharks that should be here soon.

I also just moved to a place much better for flying - I can fly to a park without passing any private property.

I've been binging Joshua Bardwell's videos and, of course, already thinking about what I want to buy next. Thinking about a monitor or a second cheap headset for other people to watch.

I haven't geeked out this much on a new (or rediscovered) hobby in awhile and instead of spamming my friend, I decided to post here and maybe get this community going.

Anyone else on Lemmy into quadcopters/FPV?

I had an easy maiden flight for my Reptile Dragon 2. But despite balancing right on the CG dots, I needed quite a lot of up elevator trim for level flight at about half throttle.

I put my rx at the tail using the extra servo opening.

Plenty of room for the FC. The PDB install is a little clunky, but the wires are stiff enough to just hold it. I put the vtx up front.

A little custom trimming to fit a RunCam orange, though after one crash in my Zohd XL I have had a lot of trouble with that camera and will probably look for something else.

Next upgrade is probably digital FPV, but I haven't decided on a system yet. Walksnail? Nice if I didn't need a separate action camera.

I think someone accidentally a product this morning at RDQ.

Haven't flown in a year or so and I know there have been lots of advancement in video, but curious if power efficiency is any better, or yall still swapping out batteries every 15 min or so of freestyling?

Any one know how to tell what region my DJI Goggles 2 are? I bought them new off ebay from a reseller but I cant tell if they are US with the higher wattage output.

I have the older version Meteor 65 and 75 with the SPI based ELRS receiver. I have tried to update them to the latest Betaflight 4.4.2 along with my transmitter (Radiomaster Pocket) to ELRS 3.3.0. I cannot get them to bind with or without a binding phrase. My Crux35 binds no problem with the binding phrase on ELRS 3.3.0 with the same transmitter. If I downgrade everything to ELRS 2 (Betaflight 4.3.1 on the Meteors) they all bind as expected.

Does anyone have ELRS V3 running on these SPI based boards? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Looking for any thoughts on if the RadioMaster Pocket is good controller for someone who is into this hobby, but not hard-core. Also what are the best goggles recommended on the cheaper side? I know the EV800D are always recommended. Will these last a long time? Is it worth getting something like the Skyzone Cobra X instead for over twice as much?

Do I need RID for under 250g?
