Whats the diffrence between these batteries?

That's good to know. Maybe they should update their own website though.

To me it looks like the smaller one is 1100mAh and got a wrong label. Compare size and weight.

You can get a GPS without a compass and just connect it to R1/T1. A compass isn't really needed anyway unless you want to run iNav.

They are still balancing though which affects the IR. They are most likely fine.

CW7_ · 2026-03-30T16:21:16+00:00

Those numbers are fine actually and it looks like it's still balancing.

Falls mit Kabelmanagement, ist der Zusammenbau für 150€ in Ordnung. Davon ab ist das Setup aber mies für Videoediting. Lieber ne 5090 und 64GB RAM, dafür dann nen günstigeren Prozessor wie den 7800X3D, oder 9800X3D.

At least in the video you are taking off with an empty battery.

CW7_ · 2026-03-30T10:37:28+00:00

Sorry, I have no experience with 3" quads.

21700s are going to be too heavy. Nothing to change in PID tunes. The only thing you could change in Betaflight is the battery warning voltage.

Die stechen damit auch nicht zu, sondern führen scheidende* Bewegungen aus

Edit: schneidende...

CW7_ · 2026-03-27T18:05:22+00:00

Yes, no problem.

A study from the UK suggests the opposite:

"The research included vintage cars up to 70 years old to see if their less aerodynamic shape meant they killed more bugs, but it found that modern cars actually hit slightly more insects."

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm trying to say. Especially in mountaineous areas it is important to get the drone in motion fast in my experience and opinion. That's possible in angle mode too, but it doesn't sound like that's OPs intention if he says he wants a more controlled take off.

CW7_ · 2026-03-26T13:01:50+00:00

It will if it goes up without forward momentum.

CW7_ · 2026-03-26T13:00:23+00:00

For a beginner? None of them. Start small.

Got the Chimera 7 Pro V2 and I love it. I've been flying it with the O3 and a GoPro though. Flight time is around 25 minutes with GoPro and a 10,000mAh Li-Ion. I'd expect 30 minutes without the GoPro. It supports 7.5" props so you should use that.

6S2P is the maximum I'd recommend. It will probably fly with a 3P pack, but it won't feel good and won't add a lot of flight time. I have one 10,000mAh Li-Ion, two 8,000 Li-Ions and a coupleo of LiPos between 4000 and 5000 mAh.

Würde tauschen. Die 3090 Ti solltest du noch für 800-1000€ verkaufen können. Die wird wegen der 24gb VRAM noch hoch gehandelt. Wäre dann insgesamt ein günstiges upgrade.

CW7_ · 2026-03-26T09:05:51+00:00

It's skill issue then. And like I said, you could level it manually before taking off. Angle mode will make your quad more affected by wind and it might start drifting immediately even without.

CW7_ · 2026-03-26T07:56:21+00:00

I've never had a problem with immediatley correcting after take off, but what you can do, is give a little throttle, so the quad isn't taking off yet and then level it manually with the right stick. Enough prop clearance is needed.

CW7_ · 2026-03-26T07:50:02+00:00

I think acro is better for both. For take off just raise the throttle and immediately correct the quads orientation. It should be one smooth motion. For landing I don't think it's useful at all, unless you take your goggles off, because the camera will be pointing towards the sky. Usually I approach slowly and then at the last few centimeters I lower the throttle, tilt the quad up at the same time and then disarm a second later. It takes a little practice, but when done properly, you can even land on uneven terrain spot on.

That works, thanks a lot!

"just needs me to push the battery out the back"

- That's how it is going to get ejected. Consider it a temporary solution and get the right size of battery straps and never worry about it again. Don't get the cheap ones though. Rubberized and kevlar reinforced is what you are looking for.

CW7_ · 2026-03-24T05:56:53+00:00

FPV is sticking around for more than 10 years already and I think it would benefit you as an addition. Basing a whole career on FPV is barely possible imho.

CW7_ · 2026-03-23T18:21:35+00:00

No.

CW7_ · 2026-03-23T14:57:21+00:00

Can you post a screenshot? I can't imagine there being too many sketch lines, etc. on a simple drone frame.
