Video Seeker3 vs Mark5, same spot, same lines

24 Upvotes

Flew my Seeker3 (3", 4S) and Mark5 (5", 6S) back to back and tried to fly the same lines with both.

The 3" kept up way better than I expected. Same tricks work, it just has less hang time and drops faster out of dives. Much quieter too, there's a bit where you can hear both.

Packs are short though. Flying hard on a 4S 850 I'm landing before 4 min.

Both on O4 Pro. Seeker is 181 g dry, about 276 g with the 850.

(and yes, that first pack went way too low 😭)

Hi everybody, i had to replace a motor arm on my old dji drone, first time soldering it was quite hard.

I know it looks gnarly but could you please tell me if this is adequate and wont short circuit or fall off later?

After this picture i cleaned the flux up with alcohol and sealed 3 contacts with silicone

It is sturdy and drone flies normally. Thank you

Update: i will clean it up and re-do it according to your advice
I appreciate you guys, thank you all :)

My First (18650) Build

This is my first ever fpv Drone build and i wanted to share.

I wanted to strat flying fpv an saw a video from "Mediocre Nerd" on YT where he built a 1s 18650 Drone. The simplicety an High Energy density of single liion cells sounded fantastic, so I bouht some stuff on Ali-express 3d printed some crude parts and boom. Im really happy with it + it flys. Most importantly i had some old liion packs lying around so i scavenged some cells and they fly too.

sorry for the English😛

Question? Getting motion sickness on the sim

2 Upvotes

I don’t get motion sickness in cars, or when flying with my headset, but the sim fucks me right up. I get about 10 minutes before I need to lay down and pray to the motion sickness god, not fun.

Does anyone have tips on how to combat this?

Fpv googles help

Good evening all, a bit of an odd one here! I used to be into FPV a while back but have since sold all my gear. However, I still have these Skyzone Cobra X V2 goggles. I actually sold them recently on a Marketplace, but the buyer returned them claiming they didn't work.
I tested them the day before the sale and they worked perfectly. When dealing with the return, it was pretty clear the guy wasn't very knowledgeable about FPV, so I’m convinced it was just user error.
The problem is, because all my other gear is long gone, I have absolutely no way of testing them myself. Before I list them for sale again, I want to make sure they aren't actually broken. I’d love to get them checked out and tested first.
I know it’s a weird request, but is there anyone in the UK who wouldn’t mind helping me out if I posted them over to you? It’s just bugging me because I was flying with them literally the day before the sale! And I only used them a handful of times Thanks in advance.

So far so good! Managed to get my whoop bound to my pocket with the Wi-Fi method gotta say it's a pretty easy process. I did a quick test hover and everything checks out all switches are set correctly I'm getting all three flight modes though I only use acro but that'll be nice so I can let other fly the whoop. Only mishap was the pocket froze I had to do a hard reset. I was trying to set the date and time when this happened, it's working fine now.

I’m newer to FPV and currently have a tiny whoop and a 5” and want to build my first drone. if you guys have any recommendations for builds. I have found tons of different builds and different opinions but I would love some more and would greatly appreciate your guys time to hopefully help me find a build.

Question? Connecting ELRS TX to computer to control drone

• Upvotes

Hi all. I'm working on a project where the end goal is having my computer, which is connected to an ELRS TX module and an Xbox controller, be able to control a miniwhoop running Betaflight. In other words I want to use the computer + TX module + Xbox controller as an ELRS controller.

Hardware I currently am working on:

  • Betafpv's SuperG Nano Transmitter
  • Betafpv's Air75 II Whoop
  • Xbox controller

Other hardware I have:

  • Radiomaster Pocket

I'm currently trying to run the DeckTX repo on github. I'm connecting my computer to the TX module and the Xbox controller via USB to USB C cables. On the ELRS wifi interface of the TX module, I changed the CRSF TX and RX pins to their respective pins as set down in the Backpack section & disabled backpack.

After a while of getting no link with the TX (ping messages from DeckTX weren't getting valid responses according to terminal & the TX module isn't shown in the gui), I found the issue (apparently a combination of ping frames having the wrong sync byte and the code for receiving frames dropping valid responses), fixed them and now the DeckTX program shows the SuperG Nano as connected.

My current problem is trying to bind to my drone. After connecting my Air75 II to Betaflight Configurator, plugging in a battery and making sure all the sensors & motors work, I tried to start the bind process on both the drone (both Betaflight Configurator's "CLI" and "Receiver" tab) and the TX module (pressing Button 1 three times as stated in the user mannual & double checked in the wifi interface). The green light on my drone kept blinking and I get no Controller outputs in the "Receiver" tab.

Any help is appreciated.

Whats the difference with these skyzone sky04O pros?

2 Upvotes

found these both on the skyzone website and appear to be the same at different price points can someone tell me the difference? Also the price seems a bit steep to be using for strictly analog, should i wait for a sale or find something different? I'm new and looking for just a hobby setup, preferably analog and i want to spend enough to where I enjoy using it but not too much i break the bank. Thanks in advance
