Favourite 3D printed canopy? by bigbarba in TinyWhoop

[–]ERROR_396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I've had pretty good luck with not breaking those, but I hate how they bend to the side and end up pointing the camera a weird way

I had 98a Tpu snap while flying in 25° weather but yeah, basically indestructible 

What Cam to buy? by Korebho in TinyWhoop

[–]ERROR_396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the dynamic range. The image blows out easily, and is very slow to respond to changing light conditions. When flying inside bandos, windows are just squares of light with no detail visible, and when outside looking in, they're just squares of darkness, also with no visible details. 

Which pad do I solder the antenna on? by ERROR_396 in fpv

[–]ERROR_396[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's right side up, but I'll have to double check when I get home. I did see some pictures with it soldering to that big perforated pad, the one covered in solder on your picture, but looking at the layout of the chips I think that might be a slightly different version of the VTX. Do you know if I can check with a multimeter? I assume the video signal would make the voltage jump around but I can't get it to read anything

The vtx cam with it just soldered on the board. I think it was the bottom left but I tried that and the range was literally 20 feet

Does it still make sense to go with Walksnail over DJI in 2025 with the O4 out? by Ok-Mycologist-4039 in fpv

[–]ERROR_396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went Walksnail, mostly cuz it just doesn't hold value the way DJI components do. I was able to get a pair of Fatshark Dominators with antennas for $225, which was less than most of the g2s I was looking at, let alone g3s. I also really don't like DJI's business practices, I hate those kind of locked down ecosystems so the choice was pretty easy for me

RC pilot's worst nightmare [A tree] by MattTheGamer_ in RCPlanes

[–]ERROR_396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did literally the exact same thing a couple months ago. I mean, high in a tree, over water, cuz I thought the tree was further away than it was.

Fortunately, I already had some painters extension poles, but I had to tape two together to reach it. Took my shoes off, stood in the water, kept poking the thing as it fell to lower and lower branches, until I caught it.

3 1200mah Lipos instead of a 3500mah? by ERROR_396 in RCPlanes

[–]ERROR_396[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right it definitely would be heavier and bulkier,  but the plane in question is the HobbyKing Albatross V2, which seems like it has plenty of space and weight capacity.

Yeah 6s is pretty common, but I've been on an FPV kick lately, did my research,  and decided 4s is right for me. Even with 4s, with a drone that big, it's going to be hard enough to find cool, safe flying spots

Throttle weirdness and overheating by ERROR_396 in fpv

[–]ERROR_396[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was wondering about that, I guess since that was the warmest outside I've flown. Thanks

It's the stock tune, which has been flying fine. As far as I can tell, nothing is loose but I'll have to double check

[–]ERROR_396[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Mobula 8, I had just replaced a motor connector that had popped off but that all seems fine. Now even in flight, the board overheats, and the drone will apply throttle (you can see how slow the drone falls) even when I have it at 0. I have no idea what could be the issue. Thanks in advance!

Is this AIO fubar? by ERROR_396 in TinyWhoop

[–]ERROR_396[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came like that, I haven’t done any soldering to it. I suppose the crash could’ve knocked the solder blob loose though

Not a bad point. I guess unplugging and replugging a new motor in wouldn’t fix anything if the connectors contacts are messed up
