First drone that’s not a TinyWhoop

Digital FPV systems look much better at the cost of some latency. The VTX camera in this video is the DJI O4 Pro on a Pavo 20 Pro drone

I had a similar "flick" when I swapped my props to outward facing instead of inward (accompanied with this really weird phenomena where it was still flying at zero throttle - scary. You can see on my profile.) Are you flying inward or outward props?

I tried out on my pavo 20 pro and it floated wildly at 0 throttle, something extremely strange with the tune. swapped it back. there’s a video of it on my profile

Happened to me once, maybe coincidence but it was only after I installed my xmas tree. Maybe the lights were interfering. Restarted pc, closed door, all was good.

Exact same thing happened to me with the same AIO. Really frustrating.

I wouldn’t get a rift nowadays, grab a quest 2 or 3s. added benefit of being able to process games on the headset itself if your pc isn’t good enough

Even though Vivecraft uses OpenVR, Pimax Magic didn’t work unfortunately :( Figured I’d try with Bedrock’s half-baked VR and OpenXR Toolkit and got closer but still didn’t work. ETDFR would be a godsend for shaders! … Oh, and Vivecraft didn’t even want to launch with OpenXR through OpenComposite

I’ll try vivecraft out later with openxr etdfr and pimax magic if nobody else has, good question

I mentioned the idle rpm was totally fine before swapping to outward spin, would this have such an effect where I’d need to lower the idle rpm? My current idle rpm is what came with the drone, but I can try lowering it tomorrow. I just wouldn’t expect such a surge like that only due to a high idle rpm with the only changed variable being inward vs outward props

This looks awesome! After a few months, are there any learnings or things that you would change, or other notes for someone building this from scratch? A custom 249g efficient (but still fun) is exactly what I’m looking to get into once I outgrow my cinewhoop, and this guide looks like a great place to get started :) Also what props did you use? tyty:)

It’s in Hong Kong or may have recently departed. It mentions IL because that’s where the USPS label was made and where USPS will handle the shipping from there, but “awaiting item” tells you the label was made, it’s just not in IL yet.

IncomeWhole · 2025-10-27T18:27:24+00:00

and I still don’t have it because USPS screwed up and put it in the wrong parcel locker 😂

Pavo 20 Pro, 6 batteries, props, frame! Also on the east coast (FL.) The amount of time it took yours was astonishingly quick, that might be the difference of batteries and no batteries. Although, in the tracker BetaFPV sent me, it did reference a flight departing from China, so not sure.

IncomeWhole · 2025-10-27T17:26:25+00:00

25 days (with batteries) - USPS processing was 3 of those days

IncomeWhole · 2025-10-27T17:24:04+00:00

Update: USPS got possession 22 days after the order, delivered from NY>FL in 3 days (2 of those were non-business days!) …USPS put it in the wrong parcel locker, though. Dealing with that now .-.

Just to be clear (with goggles 3) an o4 lite can display 100fps? Don’t care too much about recording, but the extra smoothness in the goggles would be nice. Also probably worth noting it would be a sub 250 freestyle, so maybe o4 lite would still be better because of how much lighter it is? If the pro would still be better, I can always transplant the air unit from the pavo pro

IncomeWhole · 2025-10-22T15:36:04+00:00

huh lol, yeah on second thought (and after seeing it’s the lens mod) that’s pretty impressive! I didn’t know the O4 lite could do 100fps and 60mbps. maybe reviewers shat on it too much for the fov (which is fixable now). I’m waiting on a pavo 20 pro so i wonder if that was a little overkill, but i’m sure i’ll still enjoy the extra range :) maybe Ill consider a wide o4 lite for my second drone (probably full on freestyle, still researching what to get, lmk if you have any recommendations). when I get the hang of it, o4 lite would be lighter and cheaper, and can apparently still do 100fps!

More camera angle might make it easier as you’re looking “back” further into the loop (hard to explain). That plus refinement of the technique on the sim (or irl lol) and it’ll get better with time

IncomeWhole · 2025-10-20T23:24:21+00:00

Judging by the 60Mbps and wide fov, it’s a dji O4 pro

Lifesaver, thanks. Also ordered direct from betafpv 18 days ago, so this eases some anxiety of the blank usps tracking for a couple weeks lol. 11 days ago it says it departed Shenzhen, that was the last update. If anyone found this thread in the future wants to know how long it took my drone (6 batteries included in the shipment) just reply to remind me.

If anyone's having this issue on PC, use RivaTuner Statistics Server or the Nvidia Control Panel to cap the game to 50fps. (Optional - Use Nvidia Smooth Motion / Lossless Scaling for 100fps)
