Just when I lost betaflight. Compass calibration is important for flight modes that use automation (level, horizon, gps rth, waypoint missions, etc.)... if you strictly fly acro it's not a big worry. the IMU (gyroscope) DEFINITELY needs calibrations every so often and is done at a computer with a level surface.
this belongs in textbooks! amazing info, you know what exactly fpv is. And you broke it down in bite size and digestible content! much appreciated, i definitely feel like i can get better at flying now. I appreciate you and thank you for these drills!
can anyone confirm if there is a considerable signal loss between using these versus using the luminier goggles 2 adapters (MCX - SMA) with the sma version of this ? id rather wear out a set of adapters than the mcx on the goggles themselves. As it would no longer be feasible to store the goggle with the antennas mounted.
Not surprising 😅 I was curious because your original video showed really poor range with the vista and o2. So wandering if these antennas level the field for the vista, or just make a marginal improvement on the o3.
They help dramatically as long as your pointing them at your quad. Patch antenna vs. omni... If you wanna know more dive into some antenna theory and types of antennas; it's actually super helpful and important to know. I see A LOT of lost quads on Facebook that are due to people not understanding broadcast theory or antenna theory.
@@TheTomJon I hear you. But i got an electrical engineering degree and majored in communications, so i reckon i got the theory part covered 😊 What bugs me is the polarization mismatch- the vista and OG air unit are lhcp. The o3 and goggles2 are dual linear polarized. In theory, it means you'll sacrifice a lot of signal by crossing the systems , unless you swap out the stock g2 antennas to lhcp. The polarization alone can explain your improved results... However, I've seen conflicting reviews, and only aftermarket patch antennas. No omnis. I fly all around, so i generally dislike patches.
That's good to hear. You can always swap the antenna on the quad too. We commonly swap polarization between races. As I'm sure you know but can have more pilots up if you coordinate the polarizations properly.
Nice review, the true rc antennas performed great, I have used their antennas for years and have alway found them to be a top performer. Loved the free style flight at the end. Keep up the great videos. Rotor Flex 👍
Man it seem like a lot of people dont put a gps on their quads these days. And if you do have gps you need to get the gps telemetry lua script going. I have live gps coordinates on my transmitter at all times.
weird how you got a test result like that and i got no difference between stock and true rc patch even on my integra goggles the stock did better then the true rc. My thoughts are stick with the stock unless you have money to burn because there is not much of a difference except spend more money.
I thought this was standard, but: How do I set up my drone, so it can thrust down AND up? How is nobody doing that? There are soooo many reasons why I would want my props to either push me down (ie "help gravity"), or boost me up while lying on my back... - Can I do that?
Just get another phone line for your internet… Back in the analog internet days… you could get the phone company to rent out part of their backbone and run it directly to your house for only about 10k/month, which at the time was easily made back by having some limited computer skills and a dozen mediocre computers running web hosting and stuff for people directly from your house. High speed internet before it was commercially available was great! I was also on the Shaw high speed test team, when that eventually came around… high speed modem the size of a computer that heated your room and was reliably working for only a couple of hours a day. LoL Those were the times.
You inspired me. Just started FPV full manual flights at the beginning of February 2024. Still nervous flying through and around that very object in my local fields. Thanks for sharing this 👍🏼
I've got a cheap toy drone to see if I could at least fly it. It flies FINE forwards, no crazy camera angles or anything, just flying forward, left, right etc. but on the way back the controls are reversed and I crash!! Is there a button on the controller that reverses controller for flight back?? Or am I stuck having to learn how to fly back with controls reversed??? Thanks for any info!!
