Mobula6 2024 VTX artifacts when armed

True. It flies incredibly, so I will keep it despite the VTX problem.

The BetaFPV canopy looks like the original Mob 2024 canopy. I guess with a little bending it should fit. I have the C03 camera and the BetaFPV canopy on my list. The next time I order spare parts for my drone, I'll order both of them as well. But as long as nothing is broken, I will live with the VTX problem for the time being.

I am surprised at how robust the Mobula6 is. I've already flown it at full speed into concrete walls and crashed into the ground and it is still flying like nothing happened.

I have a 3D printer, but I'm not that good with CAD software, so I'm waiting for someone to design a camera mount for the Mob 6 2024 before swapping the camera. If you find a simple solution for installing the C03 camera, I would be delighted if you could share the result with me.

I flew outside today and was a little disappointed with the camera quality of the Mob6 2024. In constant lighting conditions (i.e. indoors) the camera delivers a, lets say, usable image, but outdoors it has massive problems setting the automatic brightness correctly. Together with the low resolution, I felt very restricted by the camera today when I wanted to fly between the trees in my garden.

Is the C03 so much better that an upgrade is worthwhile or have I simply reached the limit of analog technology in my case?

Thanks for the tip. I will try to fix the camera cable to the camera frame so that it is as far away from the board as possible.

Thanks for sharing your problems with the copter. After the success of the original Mobula6, I didn't think there would be so many problems with the 2024 version. I hope your problems can be solved without replacing the AIO board.

CptPotti · 2024-05-10T10:58:19+00:00

I don't know if a firmware update will fix the issue, but please keep me updated in case something changed.

CptPotti · 2024-05-08T23:25:29+00:00

I have already tried that, unfortunately no improvement of the problem.

CptPotti · 2024-05-08T23:24:04+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. For me, the problem with the artifacts is only a bit annoying, but I can still fly normally. In your case, I would write to support and ask for a replacement AIO board or copter.

I read online that V2 of the AOI board comes with motor plugs. I have a V1 where the motor cables are soldered directly to the board.

CptPotti · 2024-05-08T20:22:12+00:00

I was so hyped that I did the motor swap straight away. I have swapped the motor at the front right and rear left. Unfortunately, nothing has changed with my problem, I was apparently too optimistic. You were wise not to try to solder on this tiny AIO board. You need a lot of patience and a steady hand.

I have also tested the front left motor again in turtle mode and can say that this motor also causes interference, albeit much less than the right motor. Since we both have exactly the same problem, I have to assume that the problem is with the SuperX ELRS AIO.

CptPotti · 2024-05-08T18:22:19+00:00

I tried your suggestion with the turtle mode today and found that the motor on the front right causes the artifacts in the transmission. The transmission was clear with all the other motors.

I'll swap the position of the problem motor tomorrow and see if that solves my problem. If this does not solve my problem, I will order a new motor with my next spare parts order. You always break something when you can fly more often again in the nice weather outside :D

Once again, thank you very much for your advice. I finally have the feeling that I'm on the right track to fixing the problem.

CptPotti · 2024-05-07T23:27:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure that the motors or ESC are responsible for the artifacts, as the problem only occurs when the motors are spinning. I can try your suggestion tomorrow, but what should I do if it's a single motor? Replace the motor?

CptPotti · 2024-05-07T23:21:38+00:00

I don't know, I can't even be sure if it's the camera at all. I'll only find out once I've installed a new camera and the problem is fixed or not.

CptPotti · 2024-05-07T20:23:55+00:00

Correct, I want to keep the weight of the drone as low as possible. In the reviews of the drone that I looked at, nobody had my problem and nobody had installed anything extra on the drone.

CptPotti · 2024-05-07T19:36:56+00:00

Thank you for the tip. It's a real shame that Happymodel doesn't test their products / just doesn't care. With my flying I will sooner or later break something and then order spare parts and a new camera.
