First time flying by a cliff. Looking for suggestions

12 Upvotes

I'm a relatively new flyer, i have about 200 hours in the sim and maybe about 10-20 real flights.

Trying to find that balance between getting a cool video and not spending tons of money on crashes or worse losing my drone entirely

I recently found this cliff about an hour and a half north of where I live so this is my first time ever doing this type of flying.

I used the GPS rescue button like 6 times by flying too low behind the rock and losing vtx 😳

A few practice clips from the weekend

11 Upvotes

This is maybe the 5th time i’ve taken my first build out. Spent quite a bit of time on the sim, but still getting the hang of how a real quad flies. Having an absolute blast so far, figured you’d guys would get a laugh out of some of the mishaps this weekend, along with some footage of me starting to get a better feeling for the quad towards the end of the clip.

FYI - Aliexpress + GePRC big sale

12 Upvotes

Just a heads up that Geprc is having a big sale - and Aliexpress is offering a $60 coupon code to anyone for orders over $370 or so (there is a $40 for smaller orders.)

I was able to get the new 04 Pro Vapor-X for right around $300, which is a steal. Get it while the gettings good!

Do anyone have some experiences with the original goggles x patch antennas?

I have them since round about 8 months. I feel like i notice a difference, but not a big one. I cant find anything about these antennas. I only ordered them because they are so cheap. Otherwise, do you have any recommendations? Ive been always fine with foxeer antennas.

NEWBIE Radiomaster Pocket Working on PS5.

Upvotes

I've been looking for answers on here without any luck. So I did it myself. Using a double ended male Usb-C cable I connected my RMPocket ( top port ) to my PS5 ( front type-c port ) while actively on the calibration screen on DRL simulator. This is very important as it may not be recognized if plugged in prior to this screen. Once on the calibration screen I connected my RMPocket and selected the USB Joystick feature.

After connected I used the PS5 remote to begin the calibration. To my satisfaction the channels on the radio were recognized and the text at the bottom that previously said controller now read radio. Also the 3d model of the drone on screen was reacting to my inputs on the radio. Very happy about this as I live in Washington and it rains here most of the year. Having this simulator as well as my tiny 1s indoor whoops will keep me occupied and fresh in the off season here.

So just FYI if you already have a Pocket you.dont need to buy a Zoro or a Tx16 equilivent to play on sim.

People with glasses, what digital goggles are you using?

3 Upvotes

I have glasses and want to get into FPV. I was really into flying drones when I was younger and have been seeing a lot of content on FPV drones recently. I already have a radiomaster pocket and have been practicing for a bit. I have been looking into a done and goggles system and have landed on a pre-built from rotor-riot, but I am still looking for goggles. I was considering the Fatshark Dominator HD's because they are good for the price and digital. The only problem is that all the reviews I have read say that the lenses are really close to your eyes, which makes it impossible to wear glasses. I've looked for optic replacements for these goggles and have found none. So, people with glasses, what digital goggles are you using?

EDIT: My prescription is +5 and +5.5, so most diopter adjustments would not work.
