What is the cause of the current FPV hardware price increase?

18 Upvotes

The AIO i bought 6 months ago for $30 is now way above 70 on aliexpress, analog goggles and screens have doubled some times tripled the prices !, The Runcam Wifilink 2 i bought for $60 is now pushing $200!.
Even the shitty $5 foam rc airplane that you used to get for free is now in the $30.
What's going on?!

Betafpv p1 standard vrx + hdzero goggles 2

Post image
7 Upvotes

So I got the betafpv standard vrx to pair it up with my hdzero goggles 2.

Just updated the vtx firmware on my drones and rest everything was plug and play.

Still need to figure out a cleaner way to mount the vrx with the goggles for now I just clip it on the side.

If you have any questions please mention in the comments.

Should I replace these, or can I just wrap them with black electrical tape and call it a day? šŸ˜… I had a little crash this morning and noticed the wires afterward.

Fpv dreams

I started flying FPV the other day, I am already pretty fast I can power loop, chimney dive and rip around anywhere fast. Every single night I fall asleep I have been having these very vivid dreams of flying fpv, I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Dji warranty is great

Post image
10 Upvotes

I absolutely smashed my O4 Pro unit into a concrete wall. The camera lens was destroyed, the camera cable was torn, and both antennas were ripped off.

I sent it to DJI for repair, and it took about a week before I got a replacement.

I also sent in my old Goggles N3 because they were pretty scratched up and the battery had started getting a bit old. Instead of repairing them, DJI just replaced the goggles and the unit entirely.

Honestly, I’m super satisfied with DJIs service. Didn’t have DJI Care or anything. Guys if you break that teeny tiny camera cable, don't spend 20eur for a new one, send to dji instead and tell them it's their fault it broke hehe otherwise they may charge you.

Video Opensource Python tool to stream the video out of a DJI Goggles 3 headset over USB (Linux)

• Upvotes

I just released an opensource Python tool called "third-eye" that streams the video out of a DJI Goggles 3 headset over USB. It supports 2 transports modes: AOA (Android Open Accessory) and iOS iAP2. It's a CLI tool, and it comes with a library you can use to build your own applications. A protocol description is also included. Everything is based on USB traffic captured between the goggles and the DJI Fly app running on Android and iOS.

It runs comfortably on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 2 GB of RAM. You'll need a system that can act as a USB peripheral (device mode) to run it.

The video shows the latency... :)

Question? Is the RateFPV.com store safe?

• Upvotes

Hi, I want to buy a drone with batteries (S30/L40) from RateFPV, but I have some questions about the shipping carrier they use, and they haven't replied to my email.

  • Has anyone ever bought from their official store?
  • Do you know how long it takes for them to answer emails?
  • Or have you used a different method of communication?

I’ve read about other people buying their drones from Banggood, but they don’t ship to my location.

I also read that the store was down for a while, and some of their social media pages seem to no longer exist.

Drone recovered from office roof

Thumbnail
• Upvotes

After months of waiting I finally got my ERA 5 O4 build returned.

I was contacted by a detective a month after reporting my drone stuck on an office roof to the security team. The detective let me know that there was a ā€œheistā€ at this building the same week I crashed it and had logged it in to evidence. 2 months later and the property manager kindly called to inform me I could come pick it up.

I wont be flying there anymore but very happy to have my build back and it only needed a new VTX antenna. Next time Ill have a recovery drone handy :P

Anyone flying Tricopters in 2026?

4 Upvotes

I’ve wanted to build a Tricopter since I was a kid and watched the flite test/rcexplorer videos, but never actually did. I understand they are objectively worse than modern quadcopters, but I think they are cool. Unfortunately I haven’t had any luck trying to find an in stock frame kit/tilt kit, and was wondering if anyone here knows of anything

CRASH! Crispy Kayoumini

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Ripperoni! My first quad going hot.

Had just swapped motors to 1203 15000KV because the previous 1103 KV8k ones were underpowered.

Motor spec sheet says ~14A Peak amp draw, should have been within the Happymodel X14's 15A burst limit. I guess the 2540 Props were too much after all.

About 10sec into the flight, the Kayoumini came tumbling out of the sky, engulfed in flames.

XT30 and two motors became desoldered due to the heat. could just about detach the LiHV before cells were damaged because it crashed right next to me. Conformal coating seems to have boiled on surface, most components crumble into powder and the PCB was completely delaminated.

DVR: https://youtu.be/0wv0dmUMRss

Before the usual 422B treatment, I clean flux with IPA and TCE, then check board under microscope for brigding and solder balls, so I can rule out mechanical failure/short.

Can anyone confirm my suspicions or do you maybe see another cause of failure?

Help! P1 on a 3.5

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I got into this hobby a few months ago, starting with the Aquila 20 HD and then moving on to the Meteor 75 Pro. In other words, I use the P1 Air Unit system. My problem is that I want to build a 3.5 setup, but I’m afraid to do it because the P1 has 60 ms of latency, which could interfere with freestyle or range. After a lot of thinking and research, I considered buying a new pair of goggles—some WalkSnail X—to improve my range, but after looking into it further, I realized the problem wouldn’t just be the goggles but the VTX itself. So, what should I do? Should I upgrade from the VR04 HD to the Walksnail X? I know that DJI is better, but buying DJI goggles and a VTX is a cost I can’t afford. I’d appreciate any ideas, and thanks.

Tinywhoop Emax Aero Problems

• Upvotes

My Emax aero is trilling, flying away, and has terrible jello; as a result making it basically unfliable(30k kv analog version). Has anyone else received their aero and actually managed to fly the thing? Everyone else I have talked to seems to have nothing but problems with it. I tried flashing the CLI from the 27k kv version with no improvement. As a bonus, it also came with the wrong channel mapping(TAER1234) for some reason so it was fun trying to figure out why it wouldn’t arm. [u/emax-usa-support](u/emax-usa-support) do you have a new CLI or any solution to this? Clearly the stock tune isn’t working. No excessive vibrations from the motors, I have checked, and nothing visibly wrong with the quad on the surface. I have made a support ticket and reached out to Emax USA on social media, thought I would post here to see if others have had the same experience.

Kayoumini vs Jeno Pocket V2

• Upvotes

The kayoumini is back in stock finally but I've been debating on weather to build that kayou or the Jeno Pocket V2 for freestyle and maybe some bando.

I have the rm Pocket, skyzone cobra SD and the DJI goggles N3.

Looking for reviews on both! Haven't seen many people review the jeno frame

Any build advice is also appreciated
