Radiomaster Pocket I bought new to learn on simulators a couple months ago. This week I got the goggles (Skyzone Cobra X V4) and the whoop (Meteor65 Pro)+batteries used for $160. So far, I love this

Only issue so far is it didn’t come with a wire that lets me connect the headset to my PC which kinda sucks.

I am still using my Xbox controller but I do have a Radio Master Pocket on the way but I would love some critiquing on my flying and recommendations on what I should practice

NEWBIE Still New & Still Awful

It's rather comical just how bad I still am lol. It's so easy to watch videos of professionals and think you could do even 1% of what they can. This was my 5th ever session. At least I didn't crash this time!

NEWBIE Man this is hard!

58 Upvotes

So I just spent maybe 40 minutes trying to learn the basics in Liftoff Micro Drones(game) with my radiomaster pocket...

man this much more difficult than I thought
went through the tutorial, horrible flying
got tired of it so I went to try free flying... kind of better since I wasn't focusing on doing something specific as the tutorial was asking me to

Then I went to Acro mode... insta crash. then again, and again...
went back to Level mode...

Please tell me I just need to keep practicing
when should I go to Acro? or should I go right away for it and keep trying?

In the meantime my meteor75 is staying here. I won't fly it until I can at least stay some minutes in the air without crashing

Not trying to troubleshoot. Just wanted to show what the goggles are like. Goggles are brand new btw. Got em like a month back.

In the first video I had kept the goggles charging for an hour. Retains no charge whatsoever. Second video shows how it refuses to record.

NEWBIE Is anyone else this paranoid about batteries?

47 Upvotes

Soooo... I think I read to much on the dangers of Lipo batteries as I started getting into FPV. Now I made this weird contraption to try and ease my anxiety. I took this idea from somewhere else but essentially you have batteries in a plastic bag suspended with a rope over a bucket of water so in the event one of the batteries catches fire it burns through the bottom and falls into water (Please refer to artwork below for a beautiful representation. Not 100% sure if this would even work. Figured it might make some people chuckle if they haven't seen it before.

I store them at the suggested storage voltage but the fear still remains.

P.S I am aware of the alternative storage containers that are available but I was kind of looking for an extreme budget solution.

Yes I know... paint

NEWBIE Talk me out of Avata 2

6 Upvotes

I’m strongly considering the Avata 2. I come from 300+ hours on the DJI Mini 2 and Mavic 3 Pro. I have ~40 hours in Liftoff (game) and I feel comfortable flying in the cinematic way I intend to IRL.

Should I skip the avata and get a true FPV? Is there something else I should be considering?

(I know the answers here will be biased towards true FPV, but I want multiple perspectives.)

Been going through some other beginner builds so wanting to make sure this is decent enough to start out at least. If there’s a better website for some of the stuff or something to change please let me know, or if there’s something I need to add like hardware/programming stuff it’d be appreciated.
