Imma assume you already have that
Extra canopy’s
I’m tired and multitasking forgive me
yup
nope
I thought that’s what you were discussing in the convo above what you linked
@fossil comet the boxpro plus can do wifi streaming of footage for people to watch
works with any device that has vlc player
oh no I did link it nvm
the latency is garbage tho
so Im best just getting the non plus
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
hes not doing it anymore
hes drone is out of stock
didn't you want dji a second ago
times have changed options have changed
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.
all has changed
65mm can do outdoors too
just less wind resistant
you want practically no wind
but if you get lucky...
500 tho im trying to get cheaper now
Idk if you can afford digital with that budget
i want 75mm anything not too much
I thought it was 300
cant find it on ali or anywhere
don't believe the discount thing
just look at the price for what it is
that's analog, not hdzero
well im stumpt cant find anythingggg
april 27 to may 5
is this digital or analog?
a
so the box goggles
i have 640 cash cad
and i could gain some more
so the Tattu is for the drone
The GNB is for the goggles
the VIFLY is for the drone'
The Hota is for the goggles
@main burrow
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
get a hdzero one like the mobula7 aio5 to make embeld jealous of the video quality and latency
costs more tho
also both of you need to buy spare frames and canopy if you can
it'll cost a dollar or two each
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK
ooooooooooooooooops caps
it says v3 v4 which ones do i need
nvm v4
@glass elm what goggles do i need
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
does this look good?
plus this 😎
sure but 450mAh
Will the air75 have good battery
yes
About 4-5 min of cruising
I have 6 battery’s so thats 30 mins of flight time
How long does it take to charge the battery’s
Yep
Less than an hour
And it charges 6 so yea
you still haven't read the lipo battery guide huh
sad
Send it
So that’s basically infinite flight time
Read it
Don’t get them without reading them
I for one, will not help if you won’t read it
I will read it
Good
Is that all I have to read
Or Airsoft or rc cars or whatever else you do with lipos
whats wrong with ovonic?
at least used to be dangerous, nowadays terrible durability and okay performance
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
hm yea haven't crashed hard with mine yet, can attest to the okay performance tho 😉 got some for free with an amazon reviewer program
do you think I need a lipo bag
Do you have an ammo can?
Guess not cause your in Canada
Yeah I’d get one if I were you, I use one
no
k
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
every country has army's
yea they have online surplus stores
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
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
They are regulated here too😂 but yeah
not in a way that actually helps
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
Awesome
yo which spare canopy do I get
For air75?
correct
do you have access to a 3d printer
nope
shame
To elevate the flying experience, DIY enthusiasts have consistently prioritized the reduction of weight for the attainment of ultra-light structure for 1S whoop drones. Consequently, we have devised an exceedingly light Air Canopy, weighing a mere 0.74g, that not only facilitates camera angle adjustment from 25° to 50°
my dad possibly knows someone who has one
But on whatever website you use
you can print some really nice canopies out of tpu
cant find on rotor
oh
this one?
fu out of stocl
wait so I get these and what else
?
spare canopy
safe bag?
And props
props, frame and canopy
what about safe bag
what about safe bag
But that would work for small batts
Yeah, ammo can would be good if you get a bigger drone
so should I just not get one? or
If you want too, it would be piece of mind, however, if you want smth good for big batteries, than do an ammo can, it would be a necessity then
ill just wait
yo what props are on the air75
should I just buy the props on amazon\
and frame and canopy
this one good
buy from an army surplus store
It's us
Tariffa
Tarrifs
We live I canada
It costs extra
Any .com sites
Ali would work
i am specifically saying alie because you can wait for these replacement parts
you won't be breaking them that quickly
ok
ill do betafpv
betafpv probably also has an official store on alie
which gives you y'know, aliexpresses customer protection
pretty great
fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Icant find any of the parts on alie
bru
honestly ima just buy a 6 piece of lipo safe bag thigns on amazon
is bat-safe good
expensive
cut the united states middle man and get it closer from the source
aliexpress
is this right
1S
I ordered mobula7 04 lite
Using brothers goggles 3
Sick👍
Coming on the 24th

I dont
?
embeld
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
But yes cr1ms0n, you will have a nice camera quality
but expect it to be more like a nimble shuttle bus
Well, if you haven’t flown fpv, it will still seem fast
you will have a blast
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.
do consider getting the meteor75 pro though
like genuinely
👍🏽
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
glad to hear that
mines coming tommorow
Who?
asked
fuck the drone came today and I missed it
How do I connnext the goggles to my drone
by putting it on the same channel
How
what have you tried
you set it yourself
that page literally has everything you need to know
every detail
yeah Im tryinnnnnnnnnnng
there's just reading and doing
you could've set it via wifi but sure this is a way
yes
download all this
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
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
d
do I press one of these
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
drone
which drone is it again
air75
k did it
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
k
done, now what
you do the radio i guess
how
radiomaster pocket
is this right
yes but just follow the first bit of text on this page
wait my friend binded the drone the wifi way
it good
we're in too deep now
but if it works is it fine
yes
i js need to know how to connect it to the gogglesd
heh
i think its on analog
I see the static screen
and it says to f3 f4 f5
is that right
those are channels
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
am I blind
I dont see vtx tab
k I thought it was that
they keep renaming these things it isn't my fault
I wasnt sure
lol
I put it to channel 4
and I cant see
the drone
set it to raceband 8
press save and check that it saved
unplug it
plug in a battery
yes and bump up the power too while you're at it
200
too late already unplugged ill do it later
I plugged in battery to drone
cant see anythoing
@glass elm quick I gotta go to bed soon\
okay well did you tune into raceband 8 on analog mode
yes it says r8
and did you forget to plug in the antennas and are now frying everything on the drone
maybe
what does the attena looklike
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
yes
how do I plug it in
into what
it looks like it is no?
yes
can you try autoscan with the drone plugged in
you said plug it in into what
it is plugged in
its came like that
i hope so
I did scan now what
well what does it say
you did read the lipo guide right
yeah
it just says scanning donme
and nothing else
the board is getting really hot
is it supposed to
so how do I connect the drone to goggles
well you can't even tell me what is going on on the screen you have
you arm it
I did
and what did it say
no
Does pitch/roll work?
When you arm and move the roll/pitch stick, does the drone do anything?
oh no it doesnt
plug it into betaflight please
check receiver tab and see if there are any inputs shown
when you move sticks
by powering the charger
is 4.2V good for my batterys
are they lipo's or lihv's
lipos
then yes
yeah you land if you're hovering at 3.5v
people said discharging below 3.2V for tiny whoops increases flight time should I do that>
oh ok wont do that then
what voltage do u usually stop at?
love that bardwell says 3v
you never ever want to pass below like 3.2v from sag
and you always want to be at 3.5v after disarming
permanent damage
yup
any specific 1s 300mAh lipos you'd recomend or just generally webleed, lavas, dogcoms, tattus?
you know you can just
click the screen on your phone
to make your camera focus on it
lower exposure more
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
Charging brick
what wattage
How would I know
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
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)
tw and webleed are common but they all come from the same distro i think
for racing, remove the sticker and stuff
for general use just buy whatever's cheap and not shit lol
The brick I’m using can’t charge the GN3flight power lips 3000
What brick should I get
Should I get two of those
One for the drone one for the goggles
what are you using for goggles?
i have 3 similar usb-c chargers lol
one for home, one for backpack, one for both lol
Yes the hota t6
yea get 2 of those chargers
K
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
Why wouldn’t I do that in the first place
i actually know the exact reason
I did put it to 200 like you said
But why not 400
see
.
because I was scared you were just going to burn up the vtx with no fan pointed at it
It’s not even getting hot
Also how do I make it so the drone can go faster
Can I do that?
Ok
.5 amps is close enough
And that should be a lihv battery that you can charge to 4.35 volts
The drone ain’t working now for some reason
Please some1 help
@glass elm
Your only one online
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
Ok so the radiomaster is not connecting to the air75 and it was before
okay so what changed
Idk
@glass elm when i tried to shut off the radiomaster it said receiver connected so its connected but the motors won’t start
okay and we have learnt that the OSD tells us if we actually armed or not
what does the OSD say
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
@serene apex @glass elm how do you discharge the drone
By flying it
Or if you got the whoopstor it probably has that function, put it into storage mode when discharging
That’s the thing my motors won’t start on my drone
What does it say in the goggles
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
Yo what do I discharge my goggles battery to
What batt is it?
3.8 volts per cell
So 15.2
Also can I put turtle mode on
How do I do this shi
Set it to auto and then click the switch you want it to use
Than add the range
Then your good
Woah this thread went to shit fast
Never apparently
i mean it is to the point that
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
All I know is it’s not connecting to the drone
Great now the long metal stick that is attached to the motors broke off and I can’t fly it now
the what?
I switched like modes mid air and it messed me up
And I crashed
Motor shaft thing
Then you need a new motor
Yeah
Is there anything I can do to replace it
Like can I sauder on something
Ikr
What is it is very annoying
That’s not common
I’ve never seen it happen to a whoop
Bro the motors gonna take so long
do you have dvr?
I was gonna check but never did
She means of the crash
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?
you snapped a piece of metal
No
#1349519213026611306 message
Buying them
And shipping them
Amazon is too expensive elie is good but it gonna take forever
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
Obviously
i just linked you
a ton of stores
yea thats very uncommon...
i've had issues with betafpv in the past and this certainly continues the trend
How is it 130 for the motors when that’s almost the same price as the drone
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...
what?
each motor is less than 10 bucks
77 dollars wdym
77 dollars here
it literally says 56 cad
I mean yeah
it's a canadian store
it is in USD
It used to be that
Are they better?
likely yes
Cheaper?
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
Ima just get these soon
ah yea weight... i forget
was speaking mostly from experience with ex12025s, weight defo matters less with those lol
I can’t see anything in this photo
The motors are here
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
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
What do I do after that
solder in the new motor and set up direction in betaflight after screwing it in
Nvm
do the motors not come with wire on them?!
Dumb question
no worries, no dumb questions
Do I take the white thingy off
snip snip (after double checking that it’s long enough
So I can just cut it off
It won’t ruin it
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
Ok
Everything is good but how do I put the prop on
@glass elm
How do I push it all the way down
I feel if I push too hard it finna break
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
All the other motors are working but that one is not but it starts working for a sec then stops
it wouldnt work
I connected to it but the motors wouldnt start
i gotta go to sleep but i’m waking up in 2 hours so i’ll look at it then
This the best I can do
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
I connected it on betaflight configuratior and the motors won’t start on it
maybe do all the other things I said?
did you have the battery plugged in?
and take better pictures
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
no
no
no
none of that..
did you
ok maybe not
its just the two motors not working
they work a lil bit
for a sec
try them in betaflight configurator
yes thats what I did
see if they continue spinning at a certain throttle value
with a battery plugged in of course
its just the third one that spins a lil
all others are fine
what phone do you have
you have a phone that can take pictures like this
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
Yes
I guess I can use solder remover
just try swiping with flux first
Will do
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
Betafpv Lava 450s
come on
How do I record on the Hdzero boxpro goggles
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
camera unplugged
well where's the connector
I have those
So what do I do
well check if the wires on both sides are okay
It looks fine but this red thing is sticking out is it supposed to be attached to something
then try to plug in the plugs a little
What plugs
How do I fix this

God, and i thought i was asking alot of question during my building process
This thread is something else
I gave them everything they need to fix it
but after I point multiple times to the camera wires and refer to the plug on it
Yeah, you are their google at this point
and they still ask what plug (the only damn plug on the board)
how did i do during my 3.5 build
yay
i will remember embeld
lmfao
that plug
(this is an image online, not my flux covered disaster of a drone)
oh i thought u were talking about the antenna
then ya lol the only jst plug on the board lol
mb
thats also wrong
??
Thanks so much! 🫶🫦😍
oh mb, i forgot that wasn't usb c
and their goofy adapter
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
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?
I mean why couldn’t they do it
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
CPR Cell phone repair
but why oh why can you not just search up on how to replug and inspect the camera
yes, they won't have a clue on how it works
Bros crashing out
camera has wires. it goes to a plug. you look at it
it is just about the simplest concept you have ever faced
you even do it every day with your phone, plugging in a plug
I think the wait times between them responding are probably the worst part
Embeld, stop blaming it on the drone, go workout and reset and try fixing the drone, this drone isn’t crap
Yeah fair, and then its like they start all over not reliazing that theres a lil thing called scrolling
@frank topaz can you tell us what's going on lol
I did it
I didn’t know that you could unplug that
Still don’t work
Like what else can I do
It’s still grey
This might be a dumb question or I should already know this but what is DVR
I actually have no idea what the acronym is (my guess would be dynamic video recording) but it’s what you see in the goggles
It’s obviously design verification report
You should you know this
Your sure it’s plugged all the way in?
Yes
Yeah that’s probably just the vtx doing analog things
.
Think it looks fine
Send pictures please
Ima take canopy off
Yeah you have to do that to see the soldering
It’s on the camera under black tape and stuff
Huh
Where they go into the camera
what im i looking for
Where the wires are soldered to the cam
I swear I barely crashed
Crashing is fine, but I’m just saying you haven’t had the drone long enough to progress
gotchu
Honestly ima just get the DJI neo
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
How much for the goggles 
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
I called it
had a lot of breaks in between you know
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
Yep
I’ve watched the whole thing, Painful
Anyways embeld, have fun with the Neo, best of luck to ya
Ehhh don’t think you reply instantly
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
Every time you speak about drone stuff I have a aneurism
I mean like how could I possibly fix it
Everything looks fine
the camera is broken
or not plugged in rightr
or not soldered on properly
that is the most likely scenario
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
I recommend velocidrone
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
Where are you flying?
🤷
House
Backyard
Was going to fly at the park but it broke
I accidentally switched into air mode and it threw me off, it went into concrete but it wasn’t even that high up
I recommend crashing into grass and into velocidrone. Those two can give you the hours to know how drone will react to different inputs and weather conditions.
Ok
I only started flying over water for example after I put in double digits worth of practice on flat fields
Also wait did you say 5 inch?
betafpv air75
5 inch + backyard = suicide
Those things can break?!
What goggles you using?
.
hdzero boxpro
Shoot
?
Want to see my most reliable drone?
sure I gues
they're using analog
you can say he
so the camera is just 3 exposed soldered wires going to a jst plug
This motherfecker
I have flown up and down waterfalls, hit gaps, gone to the top of el yunque, 500ft over the ocean and made love with concrete time and time again.
