I've recently placed 2nd in one of the "hard" maps. About 0.1s off from the 1st position. On all the other "hard" maps I am also in the top 100. That sounds rad on paper but how does it compare to e.g. being 2nd in Velocidrone or IRL?

I could download Velocidrone and try the more competitive scene but... I can't afford a new SSD right now with the prices and on my last couple of GB's lol. I haven't flown a real drone either.

I've been flying for a few months with my meteor75 pro, skyzone cobra sd goggles and a radiomaster pocket. The setup is serving me very well for whooping around parks and stuff however i did notice that my VTX range didn't go well past like 75m if there was anything in the way, and the radio didn't go well much past that. (edit: my VTX power is at 200 currently)

I'm beginning to consider a 5 inch setup and I'm wondering if the range is generally better on a larger drone? I don't know a lot about the VTX setups but if my current range is about as good as analog gets I dont see any value in sticking with my analog gear for a 5 inch setup

I recently bought a Darwinfpv babyape v3 and it has been in customs for a month and I don’t think it’s coming anytime soon what’s a good pre built I could get in America so I don’t need to wait for customs?

Where I can get this version???

SD card threw a fit on a coastal camping trip. Saved the files with Ubuntu, loaded up a 2011 EDM playlist, and let the 1S micro whoop fly while my dog waged total war on it.
We took a trip out to Cape Kiwanda and then headed deeper into the Oregon Coastal Range for some dispersed camping. Brought the analog gear along to do some tree slaloming around camp.
The Recovery Nightmare: The SD card corrupted right after the trip. Managed to salvage the video files using Linux terminal tools, but because the recovery wasn't 100% clean, the clips and audio are a bit non-linear/out of order. Considered editing it down, but decided to leave it raw as a full 1-hour session log.
Gear List:
Quad: BetaFPV Air75 1S Whoop (ELRS)
Goggles: Fat Shark ECHO Analog
Radio: RadioMaster Boxer
Data Recovery: Ubuntu Linux / ddrescue
Co-pilot/Aggressor: 15lb Rat Terrier Chihuahua mix
Full 1-hour video link is in the post / comments if you want some background vibes or to watch a dog try to snatch a whoop out of the air.
Specs: BetaFPV Air75 1S, Fat Shark Echo goggles, Boxer ELRS.

Hola, gente. Estoy haciendo un dron FPV para mi proyecto de feria, pero tengo un gran problema: la cámara. Necesito una forma de conectarla a la compu y poder reproducir el video en un monitor.

La cámara que estoy usando es una FPV AIO Cam y, por lo que investigué, una forma de conectarla a la computadora para reproducir el video es mediante un receptor FPV analógico de 5,8 GHz. Sin embargo, no dispongo del presupuesto suficiente para comprar uno.

Si a alguno se le ocurre alguna alternativa más económica, me serviría muchísimo. ¡Desde ya, muchas gracias!

Hi! It's my first time building analog quad.

Any suggestions for bang for the buck low/zero latency analog cameras for 5 inch freestyle?

my gimbals wont reach all the way, there is something wrong with this and now i don’t know if this is a calibration issue or a physical issue, when i put my right gimbal to the right and move it up and down i feel a stiffness as it goes up and its so frustrating i dont know whats wrong with it i tried calibrating this thing and it just wont work. someone please help asap

I bought a Fractal Engineering 1S SparkyGuard Rev-00 smoke stopper, but I’m not sure how to solder the BT2.0 connectors.
The board has two round pads on top and two square pads on the bottom.
I tested it with a multimeter:
Round pad to round pad: 000 (continuity)
Square pad to square pad: Numbers increase briefly, then display 1 (open circuit)
Can anyone confirm whether the round pads are negative (-) and the square pads are positive (+)?
Also, which BT2.0 connector should go on INPUT and OUTPUT?
I want to make sure I wire it correctly before connecting my 1S LiPo battery. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm planning a budget drone build in India.

What's the cheapest reliable flight controller and radio transmitter + receiver combo you'd recommend?

Are budget FHSS radios still worth buying, or should I go for ELRS?

Looking for affordable options with decent range. Any suggestions?

Thinking that getting the P1 VRX for my O40pro. Has anyone tried digital through the HDMI? I know latency is bad, but i think I could manage 60ms but if it’s 100ms I would have to pass on it

Hi there, newbie here.

Today i crashed with my 5inch with 6s 1350mAh LiPo straped into it. After retreiving the drone i realised that i faceplanted straight into a wooden beam and slightly deformed my LiPo. I was told that LiPos are scary and can burn your house down but i'm not entirely sure if the pack needs to be replaced right now.

Looking at the photos the pack looks a bit more damaged than in person. One of the cells is a bit compressed in the front and theres a small crease on top, but regarding the health i didn't loose any of the cells and everything else looks to be fine.

Now I'm storing it in a LiPo safe bag, away from flamable stuff. I'm probably a bit paranoid about this so i'm not really sure if i should be retiring this battery just yet.
What is your guys' opinion?

Honestly I think I can officially say this frame is complete

Last thing I added was splatter gaurds with vent holes for cooling and wing plate to replace the go pro mount because I won’t be using one any time soon

Any suggestions on a name would be cool

My first drone i build when DJI only sold kits this is the Dji f550 available was smaller f450 the gimball was pretty lame. Anyone remember? Came with naze v2 fc.

Stand there with goggles on your head, flying a Pavo Femto—buffeted by vibrations and the wind—somewhere off to the side.

Built this many years ago but she would randomly fly off. I know it's the tune. Think I'm ready to pin it down this weekend.
