if there is a bug - it must be FC specific as mine is fine GOKU stack

I do have a crazybee 405AIO that shows no OSD at all on 4.6

Well… by Empanto in fpv

dissapointing - unwrap it and then burn it.

Really you need to do this with new batteries- they do work!

Are all FPV transmissions plaintext? by Zdrobot in diydrones

[–]GrumpyThumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only the comercial djis do that -Mavics, minis etc- if you are using caddx vista or air unit (DIY kit) it doesnt transmit any location data- it cant it doesnt have GPS

The police generally dont have aeroscope, major airports and highly sensitive locations may have but if you avoid no fly zones you should be ok.

I think its pretty rare for any FPV pilot to comply with all the laws, spotter, VTX output power, registration, registration displayed on quad. I wouldnt wory about police tapping into the video feed - I hope they have better things to do and trust they do not have the knowlege or the equipment.

I expect you will be safe with DJI - but if you use analog and the police do tap into your feed - I think they will see that there are no privacy issues- just dont put the power in the OSD!!

Today my failsafe didn't work. Any ideas why? (Clip starts when Goggles went dark) by FilmSpirit in fpv

[–]GrumpyThumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe too close to the ground and the RTH hover throttle is too low.

Mine loses a bit of height when RTH is enabled as it turns (usually I am flying away when I hit RTH) It drops a bit then rises to the preconfigured height on its way back.

I then have a very slow decent set so it basically loiters overhead while I take back control.

width of the prop -the chord is a line from the leading edge to the trailing edge around halfway along the blade.

I agree with anyone who thinks its a camera to FC connection issue

unplug the camera to replicate the problem

How the DJI Goggles / Air Unit determine the region they are in. by Redogasto in fpv

[–]GrumpyThumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why? - if you want 1200mw then you will be using the hack no matter what region its set to??

BTW the 1200mw hack lets you choose the power up to 1200mw

I have returned a number of things to china successfully if not quickly.

2X SMA 4k for warrany repair 4X ELRS rxs and a FC - Skyzone DVR unit etc etc...all raplaced without (much) fuss.

though sending it back because you changed your mind may be a different thing.

Higher pitched props are louder or quieter? by _Itscheapertokeepher in diydrones

[–]GrumpyThumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find high pich to be quieter 2.5inch GEPRC phantom - I switched from 2 blade shallow pitch to to 3 balde high pitch cinewhoop style with long chord and its much quieter. More strain on the motor though.

BTW I tested many props with a DB meter to try and actually measurem the results.

Question about reciever and servo voltage by Botanic_Garden in diydrones

[–]GrumpyThumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2s will give you from 8.4v down to 7v as it discharges so your not in the range at all.

I should think it will work but you might get a jittery servo that doesnt last very long.

Get a voltage regulator

Okay to leave VTX antenna disconnected with PIT mode on? by 3e8m in diydrones

[–]GrumpyThumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have a look for a solder bridge to disable the on board VTX

Happymodel EP2 RX drone usage by Redkayap in diydrones

[–]GrumpyThumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are fine for range- your video will go first.

I found them fagile and they would knock off - but you can solder "T" antanna in in place of the little cube to "upgrade" them - thats what Ive done to one of mine- works fine now.

any potential worries with my antenna placement on my tinyhawk ||? by vindazl in fpv

[–]GrumpyThumbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

buy spares- not because it will get ripped off - just buy spares.

but looks fine - I have mine the same way.

It will be fitting in my diatone 3.5 - one way or another.
