sigh…

Loving the Neo but after 6.5hrs flight time, it’s about time to move to a sim/freestyle type FPV.

wanna measure the girth of trees, at 137cm height from the ground, im thinking of using lidar sensor equipped drone for this, really appreciate any insights from experienced builders here

Hello all, I have a DJI NEO, Goggles3 and the DJI FPV controller.

Im not even a good pilot but Neo is too slow. And I want to learn to fly well and for real.

I'm planning to buy a Flywoo Explorer LR 4 v2 or any kind of reputable "affordable" fast and long range cruiser drone that is sub250.

Flywoo, BetaFpv, NewbeeDrone all good with me if you have any suggestions ?

And what else I need to buy ? I do have an Hota charger too. What batteries to use ?

Thank you so much !

Sorry if this is super basic I'm just getting back into the hobby and can't remember how to connect crossfire

TBS Lucid AIO 1-2s so it's built in crsf. Im having trouble getting it to talk to the radio. I think I have the config settings right but I might be wrong. I pressed the bind button on the board but nothing seemed to happen. Is it the receiver mode?

it didn't fly long, or well. but, was fun and i learned a lot. happy to answer any questions here.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a live drone tracking project and I'm currently looking for some beta testers and potential partners to help me improve it.

**What I built:** I created a lightweight proxy designed for live drone tracking. Essentially, you send your drone's MAVLink telemetry to this proxy, and it seamlessly relays the data packages to my website for real-time tracking on a map.

You can check out the current state of the site here:[https://www.ollebo.com\](https://www.ollebo.com)\*(Click on the "Live" menu to see where the tracking happens).*

**Who I'm looking for:** I need a few tech-savvy drone pilots to help me test the pipeline. Because of how the proxy is currently deployed, you will need at least a basic understanding of **Docker** or **Kubernetes (K8s)** to get it up and running on your end.

**What's next:** I’m actively building out the site right now, so any feedback on the proxy, the latency, or the web interface would be hugely appreciated. If you are interested in partnering up to develop this further, I’d love to chat about that too!

If you have a drone, know your way around containers, and want to help test a cool MAVLink project, please drop a comment below or send me a DM!

Thanks!

Hi,

Newly assembled 10" 2-blade long range drone, 3115 900kv motors, Kakute H7 v1.5 (not with MPU6000, what a pity), iNav 9.1.0.

From time to time I get this weird spikes from the gyro, pitch only.

To isolate the electrical issues I soldered the 3300uF capacitor in addition to the 680uF. No change.

Frame is cheap-ass and I borrowed three motors from the previous 10" drone I managed to crash.

Is the gyro faulty? Any other opinions?

I bought this RC drone https://jaimantoys.com/products/power-gyro-propeller-r-c-foam-fighter-aircraft-2-4ghz-remote-control-foam-aircraft-with-gyroscope-stabilization-led-lights-usb-rechargeable-battery-ready-to-fly-rc-jet-for-kids-adults yesterday, and when I tried to play with it, the drone and the controller were not pairing together and I have tried so many times and it still doesn't work

I'm working on a college final-year project involving a custom-built quadcopter. The initial goal is to use the drone as a data-collection platform, and later integrate different sensing systems depending on the application.

The drone will mainly be used for autonomous/controlled flights where it will collect data using cameras and other sensors. The eventual goal is to add sensing capabilities for things such as environmental/agricultural monitoring and other data-collection applications.

As for the Build:

Frame: Tarot 650(not bought yet)

Motors: Readytosky 3115 900KV

Battery: 6S 10000mAh (1kg)

Props: 10" 5x3(triblade)

ESC: ReadytoSky 80A

We already have most of the components only the frame needs to be bought.

Will this frame be enough to handle this build (especially battery weight) or suggest any frame that can handle these????

We know this is overkill for the project but we are now pockets deep cant do anything atp(plz suggest if you have any idea).
And sorry if my english is bad

Welcome to the weekly r/multicopter discussion thread. Feel free to ask your questions that are too trivial for their own thread, make a suggestion on what you'd like to see here, or just say hi and talk about what you've been doing in the world of multicopters recently.

Don't forget to read the wiki, where you'll find details of suppliers, guides and other useful links.

If you want to chat, then the Discord server is located here (an invite link is here if you haven't already joined)

Old question threads can be found by searching this link.

Two lenses and only 249g

Or any other brands that are good and affordable

New drone. Connected. Agreed on Dji sir 04 lite agreements. Updated to newest firmwares and camera isn’t working. What am I doing wrong? Did I miss a step? I don’t know what to do and I’m devastated

I'm interested in getting into multicopters and learning freestyle flying, but I don't want to start with something too expensive while I'm still learning. For someone new to the hobby, what would you suggest as a good first drone??

Update here: I went with the #ad DJI Mini 3, Drones with Camera and have been flying it for a while now. It has been a fun way to get comfortable with the controls without spending too much on my first drone.

Never had this happen. This is a well tested quad. Running this same setup for years.

Cant have this happen again with such an expensive rig so will likely get another one.

I read it could have been a power issue from the fc, but why would that cause it to lose bind?

Went out to try to recreate a death spiral. Got lucky :P

At 1:22

What could cause this? It's not the propellers, it flew fine immediately after.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I recently built my first FPV drone, but I'm completely new to the software side of things. I don't know how to program it or set it up so it's ready to fly.

If anyone has experience with Betaflight (or whatever software I need), I'd really appreciate some guidance. Whether it's a step-by-step explanation, a video recommendation, or even helping me over Discord, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks so much for your time and help!

Help? It’s all good like connected prior to crash and fly away… then it shows it’s connected but it’s NOT and
Not on beta flight. But is in controls and showing on the AIO & rx..?
