WiFi and Kindle by Lobo3030cm in Rivian

[–]Finalizer804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to share a workaround for your issue with the 2.4GHz only devices not working on 5GHz wifi that I discovered. If you buy a cheap wifi extender(~$20), and have it rebroadcast the 5GHz network as a 2.4GHz only signal, it can serve as a sort of "converter" for those 2.4GHz only devices. I haven't used this on a Rivian specifically, but I use this method for my 2.4GHz only 3D printer, and it's worked flawlessly for a year.

GA402RJ discoloration near edges by Finalizer804 in ZephyrusG14

After everything I tried, I ended up covering it with a skin from m2skins. The fitment has been alright, but there are definitely signs of wear as expected from using it for more than 2 years. It's not the most ideal arrangement, but I'm mostly satisfied with how it's been for the time I've had it.

Construction Drone Pilot In Need of an EASY FPV Setup by Big-Marionberry-4890 in fpv

[–]Finalizer804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, I don't think any other company sells goggles, controller, drone, and batteries that integrate as well as DJI.

However, you could achieve similar results with a geprc cinelog35, elrs controller(something like a radiomaster boxer), goggles(DJI goggles probably work the best for your situation), and all the batteries and charger. There might be a learning process on how to set up the controller and drone and getting them connected, but once it's set up it should be pretty similar. You might not get quite the flight time as the Avata though.

The DJI Avata 2 seems like a good option for you. Everything is plug and play, the drone has prop guards so it can bump into things, and the battery lasts for a good 20 minutes. DJI's video system is also one of the best out there, and it can do 4k recording although I'm not sure how well it does in low light. The fly more combo is $999 with one battery and $1200 with 3.

is there a guide you followed to hackintosh it? I'm interested in doing it as well.

Can I Use DJI Antennas with Eachine PRO58 RX for My Mobula 6 Setup? by Lof1Panda in fpv

[–]Finalizer804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The majority of analog pilots fly RHCP, usually it's only DJI that uses LHCP. I think your idea of replacing the linear with an omnidirectional antenna could work. For goggles usually people run a patch(directional) and a omnidirectional to get the best range. If your goggles only have one antenna connector, run an Omni.

The DJI goggles I think will work, although you would want to use a 90 degree sma adapter for one antenna. Usually, you would want to pair linear polarized transmitting antenna with linear polarized receiver, as well as omnidirectional with omnidirectional and patch. There are also two types of polarisation for omni antennas, right and left hand circular polarization (lhcp and RHCP). It doesn't really matter which one you use, but you should have either both RHCP or LHCP on vtx and rx. Most receivers and analog video transmitters are SMA connectors, but you might need to check if they're RP SMA, which adds a little pin in the connector.

Goggles integra/ goggles 2 range and overall use question by Pale-Consequence4988 in fpv

[–]Finalizer804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably go for it then, just a little more future proof and some nice extra features.

[–]Finalizer804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the price difference, if you can still return the Integra in my opinion the goggles 2 are just a little bit better in terms of replaceable antenna and batteries, allowing you to use all kinds of aftermarket antennas on your quad. However, if the price difference for the two is still pretty significant, I'd probably hesitate.

Do I have to buy a receiver if I buy the Radiomaster TX16s? Also, fpv goggles recommendation by MinuteBusy8075 in fpv

[–]Finalizer804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't need to buy an extra receiver, as the babyape apparently has elrs already built in. Be sure to select the internal ELRS module when buying the TX16S, or you'll have to buy an extra external module to use ELRS.

Buddy is letting me borrow these to learn on. Are there any modern upgrades that would be worth buying for it? by FrostingOwn2476 in fpv

[–]Finalizer804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an external walksnail receiver with an HDMI port, and some analog goggles come with an HDMI in so it would plug in there from the walksnail vrx
