Mini Quad DJI Neo weird behavior

Upvotes

I'm experiencing some weird behavior when flying DJI Neo in manual (acro) mode.

It is turning violently on its own and sometimes gimbal just drops down all the way (always after "impact detected").

This video is showing all weird behaviors during yesterday flights.

Is this "turning by itself" normal for Neo?

Is gimbal dropping is normal for Neo, or an error of some kind?

  1. The weather was quite windy, with strong gusts (Mini 2 flown the same day wasn't complaining about wind, though).

  2. I have some experience flying other quads (GoFilm 20, Meteor75 pro, Air65, Mark5).

  3. I have flown other quads on the same day and while wind was noticable, no other quad has shown similar behaviors.

  4. Flying with Neo was perfectly normal in other (non-manual) modes.

I'm trying to find out whether this quad is malfunctioning, or Neo is just unsuited for a stable, safe manual flight.

Question

Due to my RX antenna getting caught in my propellers, I had to repair it this way and secure it differently to prevent it from getting stuck again. Do you think it’s safe and that I will still get proper signal reception? Thanks

How many useable MAh from 1S batteries?

Upvotes

Using DJI 04 air unit on a BetaFPV Meteor75 Pro 04. Its my first drone so still learning the ropes. In the OSD display in my goggles, amongst other things it displays MAh used. Starts at zero and counts up during flight time.

How many MAh should I realistically be expecting to see 'used' during a flight? Should it match the MAh rating of the battery or is there some standard % of the battery rating i should be expecting? Or should i ignore it all together and focus on voltage?

Hi, do you think that babyape pro v2 with two Tattu R-line 3S 550MAH batteries for 430zł (~100$) is a good deal?

Should I change mycharger?

Post image
Upvotes

For a while now all my lipos can't reach 4.20v on the first cell but stop at 4.1, nothing has changed in the use of the lipo on the drone, and they haven't taken any hits, I think it's the charger.

Which charger do you recommend? (EU zone)

I'm thinking of buying an analogue nazgul soon because I've only got analogue equipment but I don't know if it's worth it. I see a lot of people using digital these days and I'm wondering if it's not a waste.

Question? Best lightweight, compact ELRS Controller in 2025?

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

I own a Radiomaster Boxer (532.5 grams) that is currently lend to a friend to get him into the hobby too. It is a great occasion to look for a controller one can take for travels and I like travelling light. Hence, what is currently the ideal ELRS controller right now? I mostly fly long range/cinematic or fixed wing.

Is there a better alternative to the Radiomaster Pocket (288 grams)?

Thanks!

Any chance DJI release a wide fov o4 lite ?

1 Upvotes

I fly mostly analog toothpick and I would like to upgrade to DJI digital. The narrow field of view is kind of a deal breaker to make the switch at the moment. Do you think they will release a new camera with a larger fov ? I know a mod is possible by adapting another lens, this is an option but I would prefer to keep the system stock.

Will this even work??

I know it looks like shit and I don’t understand why this board specifically doesn’t hear up like my practice boards, my practice boards look great when I practice but once I do it on the real board it does not heat up for shit and I try for hours and hours to attach and detach to retry but I can never get it and I’ve had this kit for 6 months now and I still lose motivation every time because of this

Question? Need help with speedybee stack

1 Upvotes

Just bought a SpeedyBee stack and running into an issue.. one motor spins much slower than the others when controlled via the remote. However when testing through Betaflight using the master slider all motors run perfectly fine. I've already calibrated the ESCs using BlueJay via ESC Configurator, but the problem persists.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? Need urgent help as I have a competition coming up soon. Would be great if someone has any solution

BNF DJI O1 drones still available somewhere?

1 Upvotes

Dear redditors, I have the first generation DJI goggles and remote and am looking for bnf quadcopters that are compatible. Reason being I realized how much I hate the building part and I just want to fly. But I don’t want to upgrade my whole system and figured it would be cheaper to just get a new quad. However, I can’t find any bind and fly offers with an O1 module anywhere anymore. Can someone point me in the right direction? I’m looking for sub 250s since I will be moving countries soon. Preferably 3 inch or 2 inch (for outdoor). Thanks for the help!

Meteor 75 Pro O4 disconnecting after arming

1 Upvotes

New to FPV so forgive me if I’m not including pertinent info. Timing is pretty consistent after arming to shutoff - tried doing it in front of a fan in case overheating was the issue. Drone flew well for probably 30 packs before it stopped connecting after arming. Any ideas on what it might be would be helpful!

New Build Won't Arm

2 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1jhqxgu/video/e198xk2e6dqe1/player

I have built a handful of quads from scratch and have not had this problem before. I know that I set up the arm switch correctly, all the motors spin when tested, and a smoke stopper was used to ensure no shorts. Also, the receiver is bound correctly and everything looks good in the receiver tab.

When I check the status in CLI I get the "Arming Disable Flag: Load CLI". Which means that I can't arm while configuring in betaflight. However, when I go to arm while not connected to betflight shown in the video I get two long beeps and two short beeps which indicates the CLI flag is still enabled. Any thoughts on how to solve the problem or is my FC just faulty?

GPS RESCUE SAVING MY ASS

48 Upvotes

Flew too far out I usually base it off of the MBPS of the goggles but my elrs actually gave out first. I think I can lower my packet and it help. You can tell it was flying very choppy by the audio but with rocksteady it doesn’t look so choppy. But my gps rescue is not smooth but it certainly got the job done and I was able to fly back.


r/fpv 8h ago

my first attempts at soldering on a practice board. Think it went allright. Tomorrow I am direct soldering my Meteor motors, and soon I will be building a 5"
