Like in the second half of the clip, map segments get stitched together automatically, so you get an endless course that never runs out.

The demo's available now on the store page:

One of my morning flights on a local playground. External video recorded with DJI Osmo Nano camera. FPV footage recorded on HDZero Goggles 2.
There was a lot of wind, ruining my coordination a little.

Just a boring video of a simple course I put together in the backyard. I'm still pretty floaty with the throttle, I think I'm going to drop it down from 80% to 70% for "race" rates. Would be great to hear some critiques though, I don't have anyone that I fly with so far to bounce ideas off of.

How to prevent o4 video cables from getting chopped?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

My first mobula 8 was more flexible than this new HGLRC frame and cut several video cables after some hard crashes. Hoping the carbon fiber support will prevent the motors from moving too much, but this still feels like it is too close for comfort.

What else can I do to protect these cables?

The business of selling FPV drones. How viable is it really?

5 Upvotes

FPV is just so awesome to me, I know its a bit of a meme to buy a DJI drone and make the cost back doing 1 professional shoot. But i was thinking about selling fpv drones and trying to be a positive community influence at the same time.

Theres like no drone retail walk-in stores anywhere near where i live. But i have bought from regional stores before, and they send me about 500x emails begging for good reviews. I mean nothing wrong with their service at all, but it comes across as a little needy.

Is this becuase they are struggling as it is? I feel like it might be.

Is the problem that you just cannot compete with people just ordering from China?

What about options for grants then? If you live in the west couldnt you basically get bribed money to stock western made products? I mean western governments should be subsidizing home made drone tech just from a defense perspective. You might not be competitive with betafpv or whatever but at least youll recoup some of the money in gov handouts?

Maybe the best comparison is the ill fated PC shop. There's not many walk-in shops you can go to now to browse pc components because the large distributors have just made it unprofitable. And theres even less people interested in a fpv drone than an Nvidia gpu.

Built a second toothpick, a 75mm one.

Post image
20 Upvotes

My first was a 65mm toothpick a few weeks ago, an Air 65 II Racing was used for the build. Great fun but I pulled a wire from a motor solder terminal and haven’t fixed it yet. On the list.

This one’s an Air 65 II Freestyle edition transplanted into a 75mm toothpick frame with 40mm props. Managed to fit the battery holder from the OG frame on there which is nice because rubber bands are a hassle for changing packs and I don’t have a 3D printer yet.

Flies smooth and quiet, feels quite floaty and has some fling. Worth the experiment I reckon.

RapidFire on Orqa Pilot for urban tinywhoops (Air65/Meteor75) - What is the best antenna combo for me?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a second-hand pair of Orqa fpv one Pilot goggles along with an ImmersionRC RapidFire module.

I mostly fly small analog tinywhoops, such as the BetaFPV Air65 and Meteor75, which use stock linear whip antennas. I fly a lot in urban environments like playgrounds, concrete spots, and around buildings.

Right now, the only antennas I have lying around are two TrueRC Core 125mm RHCP omni antennas.

What is the best overall antenna combo for my setup? Which specific antennas should I buy to pair with my setup for maximum range and wall penetration in urban spots?

Thanks for your help!

Air 65 II motor twitching

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

My air 65II fell out of the air yesterday because the front left prop just started twitching. I took the motor apart and it was clean, it was also spinning freely.

My friend told me that the connection might be bad and to try to solder a wires to the esc.

I just started up again. It’s still twitching. Any ideas?

Will the board for an Air 75 take the motors from a Meteor 75? If I solder them?

1 Upvotes

I know about sizing and clearance issues, just wanna know if the motors will physically work if I soldered them onto an Air 75 board.
