Ever since the Mobula 6 2024 Edition was announced earlier this year, I was excited about what HappyModel was cooking up. I had high expectations for this 2024 edition as it seemed to raise the bar higher compared to their previous versions which all fly pretty great. However, it seems like there are still a few things that need to be ironed out.
I went through some initial issues that could have been problems on the software side of things but I'll admit, I should've approached and tried to solve this better. This ultimately led too more issues.
For that reason, I decided to change this video from a review to "things you should and should not do with a BNF". Hopefully, you guys learn from my mistakes and save yourself from stress if you ever come across a faulty BNF.
Thank you again to everyone who supports this channel! It really is amazing to see this channel grow and it makes me super excited to show you guys more things and bring you along in my FPV journey! I look forward to showing more projects soon (and hopefully, getting my designs available for you guys to purchase as well - still working on that!).

@terryokada 14 дней назад

Thank you for sharing. At 4:45, this is exactly what was happening to my Mobula6 2024. So, was that the solution for it? Re-soldering the pigtail?

@sticky_ricebowl 14 дней назад

I think it was because of something regarding filtering and Pids since it was "solved" when I set PID loop freq to 3.2 khz and having my filtering and pids set as shown in the video. I think it's "solved" cause playing around with the master slider (increasing it beyond 1.1) increased the chances of the whoop randomly rebooting. feel free to try my backup file but yeah - be careful. in some of the links I've included in the description, someone suggested a faulty regulator but I noticed I would get random reboots even in the start of the flight so I'm not sure if that's what I had.

@sticky_ricebowl 3 дня назад

I agree the tune is a little off and the other reviewers did mention that too so it's not just a new batch issue. I know Nick burns is using the karate whoop preset (or smth like that forgot the name) and Infinity Loops went straight to quicksilver

Have you heard about the motor noise issue in the video signal of some mob6 2024? There are white diagonal lines in the picture when the motors are running. It is very annoying and I am desperately searching for a solution. As it seems your model was not affected. Do you have any idea what could be the reason for that or a hint where I could find other users for discussing this issue? Thanks!

@sticky_ricebowl 18 часов назад

my model actually has it too 😅 I think the dvr kinda has lower resolution but it's very obvious on my fatsharks. I did manage to lessen it a bit using the settings I have but it seems to be caused by some other issue. Some have also suggested replacing the camera but that has mixed results. I'm just at a point that I don't want to tamper it anymore 😂 while it's flying well

@MrDfsafdsafds 13 дней назад

I'm having the same problem with rebooting. I tried changing the PID but no improvement

@sticky_ricebowl 13 дней назад

have you tried changing PID loop freq to 3.2 khz? that's what made the most difference to me....unless your issue falls within the other issues in the links I've provided in the description

@TRANSMISJAorg 14 дней назад

I also have video noise the same as yours after I arm my Mobula6 2024. I didn't see this problem when I watched the reviews on RU-vid. Are we getting a lower quality product when we buy this drone? My drone can reboot after a hard landing. And it reboots twice in the air during a calm flight.

@sticky_ricebowl 14 дней назад

Exactly! and atleast from my own testing, changing some betaflight settings also affected it. Though I don't know which ones. I hate to say it but it's possible. Especially since they're probably rushing with so many pre orders. Carefully try my settings. Idk if it'll help and I can't guarantee if it'll work but I've crashed mine tons and have reached voltages around 2.9v without those reboots occurring so far. so from my own understanding, it's not a regulator issue, but it could be either a software issue or qc issue. idk yet which one.

@Dmytro_99 12 дней назад

Did you find the way to fix this issue? This all in one looks so promising but the issue with noise dissapoit me a lot

@rubberonasphalt 12 дней назад

If it was just video noise, I'd say it could be the antenna. You may want to re-seat the antenna, or try another. Also worth trying setting video to Raceband 8, if you're not already on it. But rebooting after a crash sounds more like a board or power connector issue. Check if the battery connector's solder joints look normal, if it does, then I'd probably try to contact seller for a replacement/ refund

@LFTal81 13 дней назад

How did you get the mid air death to stop? I have the same issue with myne dying mid flight

@sticky_ricebowl 13 дней назад

I changed my betaflight settings entirely. I changed PID loop freq to 3.2 khz which helped alot then I changed my PIDs and filtering to what you see in the video. I'm still playing around with settings but it's working well so far and I have not had random reboots. though take in mind the things I've mentioned in the vid and make backups before making any changes

@jeffmcclain 2 дня назад

@@sticky_ricebowl I think you should not have to reduce it if your system utilization isn't too high??? Not saying this isn't a great fix, just seems odd. I would expect that FC to handle 4khz easy and possibly 8khz if you don't have a lot of filters and other things running. I mean MSP plus one serial is all it is running.

Im unsure too sadly. This is just what worked for me and changing betaflight settings completely to a custom one was my only solution as of right now. It does seem weird since the things I did was what I've been doing for other BNFs I've had in the past but I think it's just that this hardware is so new that it's likely a mixture of qc issue and software issues - based on a number of responses here. It's flying well right now so atleast there is that. No worries!
