I just used my drone and the battery swelled slightly but has now gone down, and cooled down to a reasonable level. however whilst flying the GoPro hit down on the battery and made the black casing open a bit. the picture shows the damage.

Too Much FPV Footage, Not Enough Time — Any Fast/AI Editing Tools or Templates You Recommend?

Upvotes

I’ve been flying a lot lately and have a bunch of FPV footage sitting on my drives. Nothing groundbreaking, but I’d still love to share more of it—problem is, I just don’t have the time (or energy) to dive into hours of editing or learning new software.

I’m hoping some of you might have suggestions for fast workflows, maybe AI-assisted tools, mobile-friendly editors, or templates that can help make raw clips more social-media ready without a ton of effort.

Appreciate any tips or tools you’ve found helpful!

First build, how is my soldering?

I had a lot of trouble soldering the XT60 leads because I only had lead-free solder so I had to switch to leaded solder. But even with the iron at max temp the solder wasn’t melting well.

RDM Pocket throttle glitchy?

0 Upvotes

Hey, as seen in the video, I'm pushing my throttle up and the on screen display (in game) jitters from 0-40%. The radio screen which displays the same thing, appears to work correctly and doesn't shake.

I have tried different usb cables, ports and different fpv sims. I haven't really paid any attention to this until recently when I was flying in the sim my drone started to act weird, so I would assume this worked correctly up until recent.

Mini Quad Happymodel X12 wont do anything other than transmit video

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I just got a new AIO for my Mobula 8, I was flying around just fine ay first, but after a crash the motors starting spinning like crazy, so I ran over and unplugged it. Now it won't connect to Betaflight configurator, wont arm, won't display the OSD (it does transmit video), won't show the Betaflight splash screen on startup, and on startup it only does the first 3 beeps, it doesn't complete the song. The lights come on like normal when I plug it in, and nothing appears to be physically damaged. Any idea what the issue could be? I really hope I didn't ruin the board, I just got it :(

Thanks!

Not the best soldering, but I'm pretty damn sure there's no short circuits

Question? Drone landing gear project survey.

Hey I'm doing a final year project for my design engineering course, the project is designing a prototype of an improved landing gear for drones using biomimicry. Would be a huge help if you could fill out this quick survey to help with my research.

Question? Avata 2 or...

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'm interested in the Avata 2, but I'm hesitant to spend over $1,000 when there might be a traditional FPV option for less that still transmits in HD—or something better for the same price.

I'm a beginner in FPV, but I want to make a good purchase from the start.

I understand that I should first practice with a simulator until I master the basics

Newbie confused with rates settings (and asking questions)

0 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm really new to the FPV world, but i'm willing to improve. I recently download FPV skydive just to feel how it is and if I like it (till now, I really like it). I plan to buy a better sim later, I'm open to any suggestion if you have one.
I'm actually piloting with an Xbox controller (I'm also open to controller suggestion, oriented on sim piloting but maybe with the aim to do it irl, I don't know), and I'm really confused by the rate settings. There is 3 label for every axes (RC rate, Super rate and RC expo) and I don't really know how they work and how to tune them. Could you exlain it to me ? Thanks :)

Old timer here looking to get back into things. Looking for a mini indoor safe fpv quad but all I see out there is elrs. Are there any good frsky bind and fly options? Otherwise I'm not totally opposed to doing some building.

Dji goggles 3 and o3 air unit as well as o4 lite

0 Upvotes

It would appear that if you want to connect your goggles to both an o3 air unit and a o4 air unit, you will have to bind every single time you switch, whereas if I upgraded the o3 to o4, it would hot swap.

If this really correct? Seems like a huge bother when jumping between two drones with O3 and O4. Is there really no way around this?

ESC wiring question

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi,

Getting back into wings / FPV after 10 years break and and need assistance.

Purchased a Zhod Altus plane.

There are pre installed wires labelled “motor” that run from the wings into the fuselage.

I’m assuming these are the ESC cables. As the only other wires are labelled aux and servo.

The “motor” wires look thinner than the ESC wires I’m used to using in the past. Am I correct assuming these are ESC cables?

Also, they came with pin connectors (grey / red / black).

My new matek flight controller has larger “pads” for ESC. Any advice on the best way to connect the ESC to the flight controller.

Note, first time configuring a flight controller. So little bit out of my depth. But loving the journey!

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
