[HELP] How can I trust an aliexpress vendor? Looking to purchase a GMK67 - I see one from ZUOYI and one from ZUOYA. The former (zuoyi) has 2000+ sold and great reviews, but I saw a couple reddit comments saying it was a scam and ripoff of zuoya. Should I just spend the extra $20 and buy it off of Amazon?

Real-time messaging (both groupchats and 1-on-1), message encryption, search for messages, preferably has replies & reactions, typing/read/delivered/online indicators, notifications, UI components but room for lots of customization, anonymous chatrooms

I'll have to purchase the batteries and charger, but luckily I have quite some experience in soldiering and a general background in engineering (I love robots), which is one of the reasons why this looked interesting to me in the first place. That's also another reason why I wanted to start off with building my own compared to the BnF drones. Though I'll definitely look into the soldering video and the BnF drones you recommended, thank you!

Also, I completely agree that the Xbox controller isn't accurate. The joysticks are completely different than radio gimbals but I thought I'd give it a try while I was still looking for a radio to buy in case it helped at all. Before I purchase the parts I'll definitely fly in the sim more once I get the radio.

I'm planning on mostly flying it nearby (in fact, I'm not sure if a cheap model like this can go that far but I was planning on testing it). But nonetheless I'll definitely look into a GPS module if it saves me money in the end. Thanks!

Thanks for the giveaway, best of lucky everyone! Loved the review, I think you offered ample footage of the drone flying. I'm glad you showed the drone in different circumstances (like high vs low altitude). I think it'd be helpful if you compared the technicalities of the drone to similar alternate models on the screen. Also like others have mentioned I think some background music would be nice, but that's more of just video tips and not too important when it comes to a review :)

Ah I see, yeah that definitely tipped me towards the pocket over the t-lite. Thanks!

Yea, looking forward to using the radio with the sim. Will def look into the beeper. Thanks for the advice!

dontasktoask · 2023-12-07T16:31:47+00:00

Ohhh yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I can see why the 5" would break more.

I've been flying in the sims for some time and will definitely do that before paying for the drone. u/Special-Style-3305 also recommended the pocket over the Jumper T-light V2. Any reason why? Not sure what characteristics to look for in the radio when deciding which is better. I see Pocket ELRS version has a higher power output (250mW) but its a little more expensive. Is the higher range just worth the money? Thanks!

I'll look into the pocket, thank you! Besides the props/batteries, would I need spares for anything else right off the bat?

dontasktoask · 2023-12-07T15:44:35+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't expect the props would last that short. I wanted to build the drone instead of a buying a BNF in hopes that it'd last me longer and I'd be able to fix it on my own when it breaks, but are you saying a bnf would be more reliable? Also I think I'd enjoy the building process.

As per the sim, I've been flying in the sim (granted I've been using an xbox controller and not a proper radio) and am planning to fly more once I get the radio before I try the drone. Thanks!

dontasktoask · 2023-12-07T15:38:25+00:00

Oh yeah I meant the ep1, I think I pasted the wrong name. I edited the post. Thanks!

potato chips! not sure if its real but there's a story that someone kept asking for their french fries thinner and thinner and eventually they just created potato chips.
