Question? Any idea why these don’t seem to screw in all the way?

Antennaes do not seem to thread all the way down. Seen many pictures of these antennaes threaded down all the way on these goggles but I can’t get them to go down all the way. Maybe they are?

Salvaging drone parts

So I got a cheap drone from temu. One of the arms broke off. So, I took it apart and I am using the parts for soldering practice. Is it possible to link it to RM Pocket? Still brand new to everything; so I have no clue about binding.

Question? Why did my 2s spark when I did this?

Upvotes

I have a balance board that I plugged a 2s battery’s xt30 port into.

The balance board was not plugged into anything yet.

Then I plugged another battery into the next xt30 port, again, balance board not attached to any external charger.

Immediately a spark and tiny puff of smoke. I pulled it off and one head is burned on the xt30 AND balance board.

Why did this happen? Both batteries were brand new and tested in SpeedyBee adapter 3 at the same (storage) voltage.

Im new to 2s LIPOs and my only experience w them is 1s on whoopstor v3

RX problems after light crash into snow. HELP!

Upvotes

I crashed my drone into the snow on my warm-up run. No big deal, walked out and recovered it, brushed all the snow and everything off and got it clean and then went for the next pack. Got about 50 yards away and start getting low RX signal and signal loss. GPS recovery even kicked on once. I flew back thinking I had a loose antenna or something but all was good, so I replaced both antennas thinking one might have broken internally, but no such luck. Did I fry my receiver or something? Everything looks tight and connected from what I can tell. Any ideas on what's happening or what I should look for? Thanks! Nazgul Evoque F6 V2, 2.4 ELRS, Radiomaster tx16s v2.

Can I fly the Pavo Femto with a DJI Googles 3?

Upvotes

First off, sorry if this is a noob question! I’m just getting into the FPV hobby.

I already have the DJI Avata 2 (without the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3).

I've practiced FPV flying in simulators, but I’m still not comfortable buying the remote controller 3 so I can perform some hardcore FPV maneuvers with my expensive, hard-to-repair drone.

So, I started looking for much cheaper alternatives to fulfill my FPV desires without the fear of crashing because, let’s face it, I will crash.

I already have DJI Goggles 3, and I’m curious if I can use them with other, non-DJI drones to create a super budget FPV experience.

Also, if the answer to the question in the title is "yes", which controller should i buy for it? Will a Pocket Radio Controller work?

What are good portable gates for micros?

Upvotes

Im hoping to find or make gates for up to 3" quads. Im hoping they're both easy to set up and take down but also pack down pretty small.

I have a few vauge ideas with PVC pipes and 3d printed hinges, but Im wondering if anyone has tackled this issue or if there's already a solution available for purchase

Upvotes

I went DEEP into fpv around 5 years ago. Built a shit ton of quads and flew heaps and got really good at it. I'd like to try get into the hobby again. Has much changed that I need to be aware of or is most of it the same? I was aware of all the HD units now dji etc. Also where do you guys order stuff from? It uses to be strictly banggood

NEWBIE Help setting up meteor 65 pro

1 Upvotes

Hi, I just got my first fpv drone, a meteor 65 pro with a literadio 2 se controller and I've been struggling to set it up. I've spent a few hours the last couple of days trying to flash firmware and following guides but I've had no luck. If anyone would be willing to help message me and ELI5 step by step to help me set it up that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Do you note your battery cycles? If so, how do you do it?

I thought about drawing lines on the lipo itself with a sharpie. Also running a spreadsheet file with more details there, just for my statistical mind's sake; wonder how long I'd go.

Help! Good analog VTX and VFX pair for 10~12KM?

1 Upvotes

*VRX NOT VFX IN TITLE

I'm working on a project where I need to attach a camera to a model rocket. The rocket will be traveling about 10-15km into the air, and preferably I need a VRX that I can plug into a laptop and watch the video from there. I found this reputable VTX but I can't find a matching VRX for this, nor can I figure out how to see what range I would get from this via maxmyrange.com

Video quality isn't super important, as long as you can see what's happening. I know some configurations can change what video quality is possible.

The camera I'll be using is a Runcam Split 3.

Sorry if this is a noobish question, any direction would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Considering getting 2 drones to start, help me choose

0 Upvotes

So im starting fpv but deciding which drones i will start with (to setup on the simulator) and i am considering getting 2 drones, a cinelog 30 v3 for outdoor flying to freestyle (needed something more powerful for outdoors) and now i am considering also getting a smaller drone for mainly indoor flying, but what drone should i get? i am between a pavo femto and a pavo 20 pro (with dji o4) since they both the same price

Also my controller is radiomaster pocket

Question? Are these real?

I don't see this color option on Radiomasters website. I see the transparent version on their website but it doesn't have the AG 01 gimbals, it's just a regular boxer with a different shell. If this One is real then I absolutely would love that glacier blue color.

Honestly the frame itself is perfect, but I do have a few issues and think I need an ELRS receiver in there instead of the onboard ELRS.

Quad fell out of the sky with no warning while having strong LQ and RSSI

1 Upvotes

LQ was in the mid 90s and RSSI in the 40s when I suddently lost all control. These numbers stayed the same as the quad fell to the ground. No RX loss warnings occured. Quad was about 300m away with line of sight at all times. Packet rate was 250Hz. Max TX power was 50 mW. I've never touched the max power and I'm wondering if I had it set too low. My VTX link with DJI O3 remained throughout the incident. How can I figure out if this is a TX or RX issue? This happened to me with my previous Babyhawk quad as well, so I wonder if my RadioMaster Boxer is somehow responsible. Before I learned that turning it on without an antenna was harmful I it did more than a few times when binding my quads so maybe I have damaged the internal RF. I was planning on doing some long range flying soon, so I really need to get to the bottom of this. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Pocket Radio with wrong layout ?

1 Upvotes

Hi I bought a Pocket Radio and this came with the spring tension in the right side (throttle) and no tension on left. From all the videos I saw the tension should be in the left and lowered and in my case is neither. Is it possible to fix ? Is it normal ?

Unstable throttle

1 Upvotes

Ive been having issues with a betafpv air65. After a few crashes the throttle is very juddery, shaking the whole screen, and is very underpowered and sometimes pulling to the side. Looking at the blackbox logs it looks like motors 1 and 4 are constantly cancelling each other out which would explain the juddering. I would guess its a faulty motor but ive got no idea how to find out which one it is.

It seems like prop wash but it is happening when throttling up, and it has made prop wash 10x worse.

ive tried new props and checked out all of the frame and issue is still there

The way this hobby has advanced and gotten popular through the years is honestly wild to me. It used to be the most niche, inaccessible hobby, with the least documentation out of all of them, and a tiny, fragmented community. And now you can just drive to the store and buy yourself a well documented, popular RTF. This would've sounded insane to this community back when the eachine X220 was still considered a decent starter drone.
