#

Imma assume you already have that

#

Extra canopy’s

#

I’m tired and multitasking forgive me

fossil comet
fossil comet
terse moth
#

The air canopy’s break a lot

fossil comet
#

wait I think im missing a battery for the goggles

#

am I?

terse moth
#

I thought that’s what you were discussing in the convo above what you linked

main burrow
#

@fossil comet the boxpro plus can do wifi streaming of footage for people to watch

#

works with any device that has vlc player

main burrow
#

the latency is garbage tho

fossil comet
main burrow
#

if you value wifi streaming to people with android phones and it's worth the extra 50, do that

#

imo its a cool feature that really doesnt matter often lol

glass elm
#

why the expensive ass racing batteries

#

why not a normal battery

fossil comet
#

hes drone is out of stock

glass elm
#

not on aliexpress I bet

#

but y'know

frank topaz
#

times have changed

#

im getting a whoop

#

is this good

#

?

glass elm
#

didn't you want dji a second ago

frank topaz
#

times have changed options have changed

glass elm
#

get the 65mm if you want to fly only indoors, get the 75mm if you want to do indoors and outdoors. get the AIO5 version if you can, it is significantly better due to the weight difference.

frank topaz
#

all has changed

main burrow
#

65mm can do outdoors too

#

just less wind resistant

#

you want practically no wind

#

but if you get lucky...

frank topaz
terse moth
#

Idk if you can afford digital with that budget

frank topaz
#

im fine with somthing like analog

#

just somthing to race embeld with lol

frank topaz
glass elm
#

300 dollar hdzero goggles

#

200~ dollar mob7 aio5

fossil comet
frank topaz
#

cant find it on ali or anywhere

glass elm
#

don't believe the discount thing

#

just look at the price for what it is

#

that's analog, not hdzero

frank topaz
#

well im stumpt cant find anythingggg

glass elm
#

all I did was search mobula7 aio5

frank topaz
#

ima cop this one

#

igggg

#

it looks good

glass elm
#

sure

#

what's the stated delivery time?

frank topaz
#

april 27 to may 5

frank topaz
glass elm
#

it's hdzero

#

so digital

frank topaz
#

a

frank topaz
#

i have 640 cash cad

#

and i could gain some more

fossil comet
fossil comet
#

The GNB is for the goggles

#

the VIFLY is for the drone'

#

The Hota is for the goggles

#

@main burrow

glass elm
#

yes

fossil comet
# glass elm yes

can you give @frank topaz some suggestions on what tinywhoop to get lil bro wants to copy me and I am not having it

glass elm
#

get a hdzero one like the mobula7 aio5 to make embeld jealous of the video quality and latency

frank topaz
#

costs more tho

glass elm
#

also both of you need to buy spare frames and canopy if you can

#

it'll cost a dollar or two each

fossil comet
#

ooooooooooooooooops caps

fossil comet
#

out of my budget

frank topaz
#

nvm v4

#

@glass elm what goggles do i need

glass elm
#

if you pick the hdzero mobula7 you need the boxpros

#

if you pick an analog quad like the air75 you can get boxpro's, cobra x, ev800d

#

and yes each cheaper one is noticably worse

frank topaz
#

i have it all here

#

botrh

#

both

frank topaz
#

plus this 😎

glass elm
fossil comet
#

Will the air75 have good battery

glass elm
#

yes

serene apex
fossil comet
#

How long does it take to charge the battery’s

serene apex
#

And it charges 6 so yea

glass elm
fossil comet
#

You know me

glass elm
#

sad

fossil comet
#

Send it

fossil comet
glass elm
serene apex
#

Read it

#

Don’t get them without reading them

#

I for one, will not help if you won’t read it

glass elm
#

oh hey he removed his ovonic recommendations

#

thank goodness

fossil comet
serene apex
#

Good

fossil comet
#

Is that all I have to read

glass elm
#

yes

#

you'll know everything you'll ever need to know about batteries in FPV

serene apex
#

Or Airsoft or rc cars or whatever else you do with lipos

main burrow
glass elm
#

at least used to be dangerous, nowadays terrible durability and okay performance

main burrow
#

also just a tldr on lipos, you generally want to discharge until 3.5v resting voltage, charge to 4.2v and if you're not gonna fly for more than a few days, discharge to 3.8v resting voltage

main burrow
fossil comet
#

do you think I need a lipo bag

serene apex
#

Guess not cause your in Canada

#

Yeah I’d get one if I were you, I use one

fossil comet
fossil comet
serene apex
#

When you get a bigger drone with bigger batteries, use something like an ammo can with a couple holes drilled in it

#

Or heck, you can get that now if you want, idk if that’s hard to get in Canada

glass elm
#

every country has army's

main burrow
#

yea they have online surplus stores

serene apex
# glass elm every country has army's

Yea ik, I just figured it might be hard to get as much less people have guns up there so I figured it may be harder to find an ammo can as less people want them

glass elm
#

32% in the US and at least 7.2% in Canada

#

there be plenty

#

there's plenty guns around in most countries actually, just the US has the whole can't have laws for them thing

serene apex
glass elm
#

not in a way that actually helps

serene apex
#

I don’t think we’d get anywhere with this that wouldn’t require a good debate😅

#

I love debating, but this is a help thread, and I’m real busy rn

fossil comet
#

im getting the drone

#

aqnd goggles

#

and everything

#

RN

serene apex
#

Awesome

fossil comet
serene apex
fossil comet
glass elm
#

do you have access to a 3d printer

fossil comet
glass elm
#

shame

serene apex
fossil comet
serene apex
glass elm
#

you can print some really nice canopies out of tpu

fossil comet
#

oh

#

this one?

#

fu out of stocl

#

wait so I get these and what else

#

?

#

spare canopy

#

safe bag?

serene apex
#

And props

glass elm
#

props, frame and canopy

serene apex
#

And a couple frames

#

Oh

#

Yeah

fossil comet
fossil comet
serene apex
#

Add one of those

#

Amazon or whatever

fossil comet
glass elm
#

no need

#

get an ammo can if you're really worried

serene apex
#

But that would work for small batts

#

Yeah, ammo can would be good if you get a bigger drone

fossil comet
#

so should I just not get one? or

serene apex
fossil comet
#

yo what props are on the air75

#

should I just buy the props on amazon\

#

and frame and canopy

glass elm
#

buy from an army surplus store

fossil comet
#

are these the right parts

#

for the drone

glass elm
#

yes but severely overpriced

frank topaz
#

It's us

#

Tariffa

#

Tarrifs

#

We live I canada

#

It costs extra

#

Any .com sites

#

Ali would work

glass elm
#

i am specifically saying alie because you can wait for these replacement parts

#

you won't be breaking them that quickly

fossil comet
glass elm
#

betafpv probably also has an official store on alie

#

which gives you y'know, aliexpresses customer protection

#

pretty great

fossil comet
fossil comet
glass elm
#

that's kind of a skill issue

#

don't really know what to say

fossil comet
#

theres only stuff for the metour75

#

fuck alie

glass elm
#

the full name is the meteor75 air

#

because betafpv is stupid

fossil comet
#

honestly ima just buy a 6 piece of lipo safe bag thigns on amazon

fossil comet
glass elm
#

expensive

glass elm
#

aliexpress

glass elm
#

yes

#

is that cad

fossil comet
#

k

#

thank god

#

I ordered everything already

frank topaz
#

Using brothers goggles 3

serene apex
frank topaz
#

Coming on the 24th

frank topaz
glass elm
#

well we know who's winning the race

frank topaz
#

I dont

frank topaz
glass elm
#

embeld

frank topaz
#

Why

#

And ok

frank topaz
#

+mines cooler 😎

glass elm
#

the meteor75 o4 would've been a better choice I believe

#

anyhow

#

the weight of both without batteries is

#

21 grams for the Air75

#

and 38 grams for the Mob7 O4

#

and the Mob7 has weaker, heavier motors

serene apex
#

But yes cr1ms0n, you will have a nice camera quality

glass elm
#

but expect it to be more like a nimble shuttle bus

serene apex
#

Well, if you haven’t flown fpv, it will still seem fast

frank topaz
#

We don't need to necessarily race

#

Just have fun

glass elm
#

you will have a blast

frank topaz
#

Lol I can even flim promo videos for local companies

#

The Happymodel Mobula7 O4 micro FPV whoop comes out now . It comes with the new DJI O4 Lite air unit which would provide excellent and unbelievable FPV footage. And the new Happymodel RS1102 KV10000 motor and HQPROP 45mm propellers ,bring a powerful and smooth flying experience. This would be a good option for indoor and backyard FPV flying.

▶ Play video
glass elm
#

do consider getting the meteor75 pro though

glass elm
frank topaz
#

👍🏽

glass elm
#

it is a little bigger, has twice as powerful motors on 1s

#

has a far newer and more reliable aio that was actually designed for the O4 Lite

#

and it shouldn't be more expensive

#

fuck the drone came today and I missed it

frank topaz
#

@glass elm

#

my motors wont starty

#

ive tried bata flight and everything

fossil comet
#

I got the drone

#

Let’s goo

#

How do I set everything up

fossil comet
#

How do I connnext the goggles to my drone

glass elm
#

by putting it on the same channel

fossil comet
#

How

uneven nymph
#

and youtube, it’s v easy

fossil comet
#

cant do it

#

like idk

glass elm
#

what have you tried

fossil comet
#

wiat how do I find my binding phrase

glass elm
#

you set it yourself

#

that page literally has everything you need to know

#

every detail

fossil comet
#

yeah Im tryinnnnnnnnnnng

glass elm
#

there's just reading and doing

fossil comet
#

not sure what im supposed to do

glass elm
#

you could've set it via wifi but sure this is a way

fossil comet
#

do I

glass elm
#

yes

fossil comet
#

download all this

glass elm
#

you get the .exe if you're on windows

#

the .dmg if you're on macos

#

and if you're on linux you should know already

fossil comet
#

k

#

I downloaded

#

k im in now

#

where do it be showing my binding phrase

#

what do I do now

#

that I have it downloade

#

do I press one of these

glass elm
#

okay so i guess we're updating it all now

#

which is quite a bit more complicated than y'know other ways

#

which do you want to do first

#

drone or radio

fossil comet
#

drone

glass elm
#

which drone is it again

fossil comet
#

air75

glass elm
#

then you scroll down

#

select ISM for the regulatory domain

fossil comet
#

k did it

glass elm
#

type in and remember a binding phrase, which is basically a password

#

that you need to remember

#

then you plug in the air75

#

and try flashing it

fossil comet
#

k

fossil comet
glass elm
#

you do the radio i guess

fossil comet
#

how

glass elm
#

the same way but you select your radio as target

#

what radio is it

fossil comet
fossil comet
fossil comet
glass elm
fossil comet
#

it good

glass elm
#

we're in too deep now

fossil comet
glass elm
#

yes

fossil comet
#

i js need to know how to connect it to the gogglesd

glass elm
#

you set them to analog

#

and then go to the same channel as the drone

fossil comet
#

i think its on analog

#

I see the static screen

#

and it says to f3 f4 f5

#

is that right

glass elm
#

those are channels

fossil comet
#

k

#

I figured

#

how do I put the channel on for the drone

glass elm
#

easier to do when you've already set it to the channel lol

#

but connect to it with betaflight-configurator

#

go to the vtx tab

#

and set it to the channel you like

#

that's it

fossil comet
#

am I blind

#

I dont see vtx tab

glass elm
#

v = video

#

tx = transmit

#

rx = receive

#

video transmitter!

fossil comet
glass elm
#

they keep renaming these things it isn't my fault

fossil comet
#

I wasnt sure

glass elm
#

lol

fossil comet
#

and I cant see

#

the drone

glass elm
#

set it to raceband 8

#

press save and check that it saved

#

unplug it

#

plug in a battery

fossil comet
#

like this?

glass elm
#

yes and bump up the power too while you're at it

fossil comet
#

100

glass elm
#

200

fossil comet
#

I plugged in battery to drone

#

cant see anythoing

#

@glass elm quick I gotta go to bed soon\

glass elm
#

okay well did you tune into raceband 8 on analog mode

fossil comet
glass elm
#

and did you forget to plug in the antennas and are now frying everything on the drone

fossil comet
#

what does the attena looklike

glass elm
#

the little black thing sticking out of the canopy on the air75

#

and on the goggles it screws on

#

and you need to make sure that you are in analog mode

fossil comet
#

Is it dis

glass elm
#

yes

fossil comet
#

into what

glass elm
#

it looks like it is no?

fossil comet
#

what do I plug this mf into

glass elm
#

then you're fine

#

are you in analog mode on the goggles

fossil comet
glass elm
#

can you try autoscan with the drone plugged in

fossil comet
glass elm
#

it is plugged in

fossil comet
glass elm
#

i hope so

fossil comet
#

oh ic

fossil comet
glass elm
#

well what does it say

fossil comet
#

1

#

sec

glass elm
#

you did read the lipo guide right

fossil comet
#

it just says scanning donme

#

and nothing else

#

the board is getting really hot

#

is it supposed to

glass elm
#

well yes it is air cooled

#

so point a fan at it

fossil comet
#

so how do I connect the drone to goggles

glass elm
#

well you can't even tell me what is going on on the screen you have

fossil comet
#

FUCK IT WORKS

#

YEAS

#

im a bit of a idiot

#

@glass elm how do i make it fly again\

glass elm
#

you arm it

fossil comet
glass elm
#

and what did it say

fossil comet
#

and it not flyiomng

glass elm
#

as in

#

the motors never starting spinning?

fossil comet
lilac agate
#

Does pitch/roll work?

fossil comet
#

ill just do this tom

lilac agate
main burrow
#

plug it into betaflight please

#

check receiver tab and see if there are any inputs shown

#

when you move sticks

fossil comet
#

ok

#

how do I charge my batterys at a park

glass elm
#

by powering the charger

fossil comet
glass elm
#

are they lipo's or lihv's

fossil comet
glass elm
#

then yes

fossil comet
#

or lower?

glass elm
#

yeah you land if you're hovering at 3.5v

fossil comet
glass elm
#

if you have a lot of money sure

#

but that'll basically destroy your batteries

fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

love that bardwell says 3v

glass elm
#

and you always want to be at 3.5v after disarming

uneven nymph
#

oh ok

#

me going to like 2.75v from sag and then bouncing back to 3 lol

glass elm
#

permanent damage

uneven nymph
#

that would make since

#

since now all my lipos suck and 2 decided to completely die

glass elm
#

yup

uneven nymph
# glass elm yup

any specific 1s 300mAh lipos you'd recomend or just generally webleed, lavas, dogcoms, tattus?

fossil comet
#

Idk if you can see it but I have 0.5A 8.8V and 4.20V is that right?

#

@glass elm

glass elm
#

you know you can just

#

click the screen on your phone

#

to make your camera focus on it

fossil comet
#

Tried that

#

So yes or no

#

Is it good

#

@glass elm

uneven nymph
uneven nymph
# fossil comet

if those are 450mAh you shouldn't charge them above 0.45A and if they're LIHV they can be charged to 4.35V

#

also what're u using to power the charger? 8.8v seems low

fossil comet
uneven nymph
fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

it's literally printed on it

#

send a pic of the little black print on the back

#

or wherever

#

there should be a bunch of symbols and some text

#

like this

fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

well i can't read any of that, but that thing is tiny

#

i'd recomend getting one rated for a higher wattage or some other method of charging since that'll take FOREVER and might not even be a high enough voltage. no harm in trying to use it tho

#

might get a tad toasty

#

mayhaps somehting like this (though do more research into the specific product)

fossil comet
#

Got one that’s 12

#

This should be good tho

main burrow
#

for racing, remove the sticker and stuff

#

for general use just buy whatever's cheap and not shit lol

fossil comet
#

The brick I’m using can’t charge the GN3flight power lips 3000

#

What brick should I get

fossil comet
#

One for the drone one for the goggles

main burrow
#

what are you using for goggles?

#

i have 3 similar usb-c chargers lol

#

one for home, one for backpack, one for both lol

fossil comet
main burrow
#

did you get a smart charger?

#

that should be xt60

fossil comet
main burrow
#

yea get 2 of those chargers

fossil comet
glass elm
#

huh?

#

that'd be way too much for a way too shitty product

main burrow
#

yea idk on the price

#

i got all of mine with laptops and stuff

glass elm
#

ugreen

#

or given you can find things like this

fossil comet
#

I’m having so much fun

#

How do I make it so I can go farther

#

Without it being staticy and I can’t see anything

glass elm
#

well you can first set the power higher

#

on the vtx tab

fossil comet
glass elm
#

i actually know the exact reason

fossil comet
#

But why not 400

fossil comet
glass elm
fossil comet
#

Also how do I make it so the drone can go faster

#

Can I do that?

glass elm
#

different motors

#

higher pitch props

#

better lighter batteries

#

skill

fossil comet
#

Ok

serene apex
#

And that should be a lihv battery that you can charge to 4.35 volts

fossil comet
#

The drone ain’t working now for some reason

#

Please some1 help

#

@glass elm

#

Your only one online

glass elm
#

when will you learn to give details

#

it's like going to the doctor and all you ever say is "something is hurting"

#

and then the doctor has to guess every individual body part and ask you about it

fossil comet
glass elm
#

okay so what changed

fossil comet
#

Idk

#

@glass elm when i tried to shut off the radiomaster it said receiver connected so its connected but the motors won’t start

glass elm
#

okay and we have learnt that the OSD tells us if we actually armed or not

#

what does the OSD say

fossil comet
#

Nothing really

#

maybe its because I changed the power to 400

#

This is sooo annoying

#

Check the telemetry in the Radiomaster Pocket to see if it's receiving data from the Air75. If the telemetry is lost/recovered frequently, it could indicate an issue with the baud rate setting or the connection.

#

This is what is happening

fossil comet
#

@serene apex @glass elm how do you discharge the drone

serene apex
#

Or if you got the whoopstor it probably has that function, put it into storage mode when discharging

fossil comet
serene apex
#

What does it say in the goggles

fossil comet
#

Oh shit it’s working

#

I think it’s cuz I charged my pocket master

#

It’s best to let things solve themselves

#

How do I turn on turtle mode

fossil comet
#

Yo what do I discharge my goggles battery to

serene apex
fossil comet
serene apex
#

3.8 volts per cell

fossil comet
#

So 15.2

fossil comet
serene apex
#

It’s a betaflight mode

fossil comet
#

How do I do this shi

fossil comet
serene apex
#

Set it to auto and then click the switch you want it to use

#

Than add the range

#

Then your good

fossil comet
#

Why does it say batt full

#

And I can’t fly it

fossil comet
#

I can’t see anything through the goggle shel

#

Help

terse moth
#

Woah this thread went to shit fast

terse moth
glass elm
#

you don't answer, they think about it for a single second and they solve it themselves

#

betaflight never even says bat full

#

it says bat < full

#

as in not full

#

and I have a feeling they've discharged their batteries way too low multiple times now lol

fossil comet
#

All I know is it’s not connecting to the drone

fossil comet
#

Great now the long metal stick that is attached to the motors broke off and I can’t fly it now

glass elm
#

the what?

serene apex
#

Are you talking about the motor shaft?

#

How did that break?

fossil comet
#

And I crashed

fossil comet
serene apex
#

Then you need a new motor

fossil comet
#

Is there anything I can do to replace it

#

Like can I sauder on something

glass elm
#

never seen that

#

on this size

serene apex
#

Ikr

serene apex
#

Just new motor

fossil comet
serene apex
#

That’s not common

glass elm
#

different motor or bell replacement

#

they're cheap

serene apex
#

I’ve never seen it happen to a whoop

fossil comet
#

Bro the motors gonna take so long

glass elm
#

do you have dvr?

fossil comet
serene apex
#

She means of the crash

fossil comet
#

No

#

I haven’t figured out how to record yet

#

I know where it crashes though

#

If I got the parts back could I fix it?

glass elm
#

you snapped a piece of metal

serene apex
fossil comet
#

So annoying

#

So what’s the fastest way to get the motors

#

And not too expensive

glass elm
#

#1349519213026611306 message

serene apex
#

And shipping them

fossil comet
#

Amazon is too expensive elie is good but it gonna take forever

serene apex
#

Look I don’t wanna come off rude but like that’s a you problem, you crashed your drone and now you gotta fix it

fossil comet
#

Obviously

glass elm
#

a ton of stores

fossil comet
#

Yup

#

Tried those already

#

The close one atleast

main burrow
#

yea thats very uncommon...

#

i've had issues with betafpv in the past and this certainly continues the trend

glass elm
#

the trend of metal snapping

#

lol

fossil comet
#

How is it 130 for the motors when that’s almost the same price as the drone

main burrow
#

the trend of shit breaking in weird ways

#

co3 cam had a capacitor break off the front, somehow through the stock canopy in a crash, receiver came broken, motors came not spinning properly with some kind of glue in them and now this...

glass elm
#

each motor is less than 10 bucks

fossil comet
#

Um

#

Show me

glass elm
#

betafpv their own site

#

and even the sites you swear you checked?...

fossil comet
fossil comet
serene apex
glass elm
fossil comet
#

I mean yeah

glass elm
fossil comet
#

I thought it was on usd

#

Nvm

glass elm
#

it's a canadian store

fossil comet
#

Still that’s a lot

#

That’s not less than 10 a piece

glass elm
#

it is in USD

main burrow
serene apex
glass elm
#

could even get different motors if you want

#

like the happymodel ones

fossil comet
glass elm
fossil comet
glass elm
#

probably the same price

#

can't really manufacture these for cheaper i bet

main burrow
#

yea, just do some research into the letters that come before (ex, whatnot)

#

some are unibell and others arent

#

you dont really need unibell but its something to consider

#

they will be more durable, but it shouldnt be an issue

glass elm
#

at this size it isn't

#

a given to do unibell

#

because of weight

fossil comet
#

Ima just get these soon

main burrow
#

ah yea weight... i forget

#

was speaking mostly from experience with ex12025s, weight defo matters less with those lol

terse moth
fossil comet
#

The motors are here

uneven nymph
#

nice!

#

it still looks so funny to see those motors in a thread titled for a 5” lol

Yeah

#

How do I take it off

#

I have the screws off

uneven nymph
#

show where it connects to pcb

#

is it wired or a plug

#

if it’s soldered, you heat up the solder with an iron and pull it off

#

if it’s a plug, you just unplug it

fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

ok so you use a soldering iron to heat up the solder on each of the 3 motor wires one at a time and lightly pull them out of the hot solder

uneven nymph
#

solder in the new motor and set up direction in betaflight after screwing it in

fossil comet
#

Nvm

uneven nymph
#

do the motors not come with wire on them?!

fossil comet
#

Dumb question

uneven nymph
#

no worries, no dumb questions

fossil comet
fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

snip snip (after double checking that it’s long enough

fossil comet
#

It won’t ruin it

uneven nymph
#

nope, they’re just wires

#

you can also remove them the right way and like slowly pull up the pins on the jst and slide out the wires but that’s tedious

#

just double check the length

#

before cutting

#

and give a bit ofslack

fossil comet
#

Ok

fossil comet
#

@glass elm

#

How do I push it all the way down

#

I feel if I push too hard it finna break

uneven nymph
#

make sure that the text is facing upwards

#

it's hard to see but easy to feel

#

and yes, it goes all the way down, press from the center

fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

send a pic of the soldering

#

also did u test it with bf motors tab

fossil comet
#

I connected to it but the motors wouldnt start

uneven nymph
#

solder pic?

#

closeup

fossil comet
#

k

#

1 sec

uneven nymph
#

i gotta go to sleep but i’m waking up in 2 hours so i’ll look at it then

fossil comet
#

It’s hard to do a close up

fossil comet
fossil comet
#

Now only 2 motors work

#

I should just get a entire new drone I guess

glass elm
#

you test motors in betaflight configurator

#

not arming on your lap

#

check if the screws are touching your motors

#

check if your solder joints aren't touching each other

#

check if there's hair

fossil comet
fossil comet
#

like what do I do get a new drone?

#

@here

glass elm
#

maybe do all the other things I said?

glass elm
glass elm
#

and take better pictures

uneven nymph
#

sorry i can’t see anything from those

#

try to get good lighting and find a distance where it properly focuses on the solder joints

fossil comet
fossil comet
fossil comet
#

none of that..

glass elm
fossil comet
#

its just the two motors not working

#

they work a lil bit

#

for a sec

glass elm
#

try them in betaflight configurator

fossil comet
#

yes thats what I did

glass elm
#

see if they continue spinning at a certain throttle value

#

with a battery plugged in of course

fossil comet
#

wasnt thinking'

#

like always 🙏

fossil comet
#

all others are fine

glass elm
#

can you send a better picture of the board possibly

#

after that we can try something

fossil comet
#

It’s kinda hard

glass elm
#

what phone do you have

fossil comet
glass elm
#

you have a phone that can take pictures like this

fossil comet
#

im not a photographer

glass elm
#

well just check with your eyes I guess, on the motor that is struggling to spin did you get any solder or whatever bridged between pins on the chips behind the pads

fossil comet
#

I guess I can use solder remover

glass elm
#

just try swiping with flux first

fossil comet
#

Will do

fossil comet
#

My friend is at a big fpv store in Calgary and he gonna get me something but they don’t have tatty 450s is there any other good bats I could tell him to get me

glass elm
#

come on

fossil comet
#

How do I record on the Hdzero boxpro goggles

fossil comet
#

New problem: I can see the drone arm and see the stats after I turn the drone off but the video is grey in the Hdzerobox pro goggles

#

I crashed

glass elm
#

camera unplugged

Replug

glass elm
#

well where's the connector

fossil comet
glass elm
#

don't pull on the wires

#

be gentle

#

tweezers are good to have

fossil comet
fossil comet
glass elm
#

well check if the wires on both sides are okay

fossil comet

#

that's your receiver antenna

#

don't mess with it lol

How do I fix this

#

God, and i thought i was asking alot of question during my building process

#

This thread is something else

glass elm
#

but after I point multiple times to the camera wires and refer to the plug on it

opal nebula
#

Yeah, you are their google at this point

glass elm
#

and they still ask what plug (the only damn plug on the board)

terse moth
glass elm
#

i don't remember

#

so presumably good

terse moth
#

yay

glass elm
#

i will remember embeld

terse moth
#

lmfao

uneven nymph
#

that plug

#

(this is an image online, not my flux covered disaster of a drone)

glass elm
#

no not that plug

#

the camera plug

#

the one the camera is attached to

uneven nymph
#

oh i thought u were talking about the antenna

#

then ya lol the only jst plug on the board lol

#

mb

terse moth
uneven nymph
#

??

terse moth
#

the betaflight plug

#

thats also jst

fossil comet
uneven nymph
#

and their goofy adapter

fossil comet
#

Guess what

#

I went to a drone store and they said it’s unfixdable

#

I’m never getting this shitty ass drone again

#

I want a real one now

glass elm
#

what are you on

#

like seriously

#

we haven't done any diagnosing

#

your VTX, receiver, motors all fucking work

#

but your camera isn't connected

#

and you haven't even tried replugging it to my knowledge?

fossil comet
glass elm
#

where did you go to

#

if it wasn't an FPV store then they are entirely and completely clueless on how these things work

#

and for fuck sakes even if the whole damn AIO is broken you can get a replacement for like 40 bucks, betafpv might even send you one for free

fossil comet
#

CPR Cell phone repair

glass elm
#

but why oh why can you not just search up on how to replug and inspect the camera

glass elm
fossil comet
#

Bros crashing out

glass elm
#

it is just about the simplest concept you have ever faced

#

you even do it every day with your phone, plugging in a plug

opal nebula
#

Like what do you not understand?

#

I have a feeling that he's ragebaiting

glass elm
#

I think the wait times between them responding are probably the worst part

serene apex
#

Embeld, stop blaming it on the drone, go workout and reset and try fixing the drone, this drone isn’t crap

opal nebula
glass elm
#

@frank topaz can you tell us what's going on lol

uneven nymph
#

me when the cell phone store can’t fix my drone

fossil comet
#

I didn’t know that you could unplug that

#

Still don’t work

#

Like what else can I do

#

It’s still grey

serene apex
#

Send pictures please

#

Of the DVR, and the plug

#

And the camera

fossil comet

You should you know this

serene apex

Yes

serene apex
#

Maybe check the cam soldering

#

It will be behind the black tape/goop

fossil comet

It shows purple for a sec

serene apex

It just grey

I want another drone

#

What should I get

serene apex
#

Fix this one

#

And learn how to fly

fossil comet
serene apex
fossil comet
#

Honestly ima just get the DJI neo

glass elm
#

honestly I think that is better for you

#

since you won't fix what you already have

#

paying someone else to do what you are entirely incapable of might be a better idea

#

even though, if you tried at all

#

you would easily fix this

#

fixed this days ago even

serene apex
#

How much for the goggles PepeCool

glass elm
#

i mean really though

#

DJI Neo? hell yeah

#

spending 10 minutes talking to people on Discord actively and maybe buying a 15 dollar camera? hell no

terse moth
#

I called it

serene apex
#

Welp

#

We- I mean Emilia tried

glass elm
#

they ask question, I respond instantly, wait about 2 days, they ask question about completely random thing not having tried what was answered before, repeat

serene apex
#

I’ve watched the whole thing, Painful

#

Anyways embeld, have fun with the Neo, best of luck to ya

# fossil comet What plugs

sometimes I choose not to because for things like this I would figure that it would take you maybe a minute of looking into it yourself

fossil comet
#

Every time you speak about drone stuff I have a aneurism

fossil comet
#

Everything looks fine

glass elm
#

the camera is broken

#

or not plugged in rightr

#

or not soldered on properly

#

that is the most likely scenario

fossil comet
#

This just shows how shitty the drone is. First time I get it is broken in 1 day and second one it is broken in 3 flights. I know I could of fixed it but why do I have to be doing that every time I crash

#

I thought it was durable

glass elm
#

the drone that is durable in everyone elses hands, gets recommended to thousands of beginners and doesn't break for the first few weeks for literally any of them
