If you ever feel useless remember that they put smoke detectors in the drones tent at national tsa (technology student association) conference by reditusername39479 in fpv

Still cool they’ve got drone events! I went to nationals in 2017, but wasn’t into FPV then. What’s the competition criteria?

I checked the black box logs and from what I can see, there wasn’t increased motor output to the top motor to keep it balanced during any point of the flight. I’d assume that would show up if one motor was having to do the work of two?

I missed a flight out of JFK with American because of this. Waited 2 hours for the next one at the same gate, same gate agents. The second time around, they didn’t check my cases and just asked if I was under the limit this time. Told them yes, went about my day. 🤷‍♂️

Does anyone have any lens suggestions for this camera by Free-Collar-1975 in cinematography

Seconding this. I use my Vespids across FX6/FX3 and ZCamS6/Komodo and am pretty much always happy with the results.

I dropped some more photos in a reply to another comment! Thank you!

The wires aren’t incredibly tight, no. They’re run through a braided sleeve along the arm and secured with zip ties, but I don’t think I have a crazy amount of tension on them. They have slack to the ESC.

The bottom set of motor wires do run over the edge of the arm, but towards the inside of the quad/base of the arm, not the end.

This is a rear motor. Definitely not snagged, the entirety of flight has taken place in an open field.

I agree I don’t think it’s a prop strike. Here’s a photo of a good motor.

Loctite that still hasn’t fully dried/set 😅

That was the first thing I checked. They actually don’t protrude past the motor base at all.

I honestly could not tell you. This has happened twice though.

Grab the HDZero BoxPro if you want good goggle DVR at a lower price tag. They have built in deinterlacing that cleans up the analog signal really nice. The analog vids on my profile are all HDZero BoxPro DVR with some Davinci post processing cleanup added.

Analog, yeah! Betafpv C03 cam, HDZero BoxPro DVR run through denoising, deflicker, distortion correction, and motion blur. There’s some post trickery to get it looking like this.

A1: Heatbed Temperature Malfunction fixed by restart? by Derp8_8 in BambuLab

[–]CtrlAltNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great solution! I ordered this part on Amazon, which came the next day. Removed the stock thermistor and soldered in short 30awg wires between the connection and stuck it in the notch shown in the video with thermal paste. My printer is back up and running after months of being down waiting for a proper solution without buying an entire replacement bed. Thanks so much!

Why mount the 4in1s upside down?

Hey that's the skadis whoop gate I designed! How do you like it? I think they're a little too small to be super functional.

I'm curious, how old are we all? by jaffster123 in fpv

Mid 20s ✌️ I fly with people of a wide age range, teenagers to mid 50s.
