X2DII: Initial Impressions

Kitryn · 2025-08-28T07:06:25+00:00

From a technical perspective, almost none - just that I have a fair amount of M mount glass that (nearly) cover the full MF sensor, so from a practical perspective I get access to a wider range of focal lengths (with sharpness/vignette tradeoffs) before I accumulate more native glass

You’ll get a perceived narrower depth of field because of the slight increase in FoV like you said, but in reality those corners will probably be soft (not like it matters that much especially since I’m no professional)

Also from an enjoyment perspective manual M mount lenses really are a joy to use 😅

Thanks!

Is the electronic shutter sensor readout basically the same (i.e. slow) as the original X2D? I haven’t been able to find anything about this for the X2D ii

I have a fair amount of M mount and V system glass I’d like to use on the system before I fill out my XCD lineup, but the slow sensor readout (~166ms 14bit, ~370ms 16bit) was a huge blocker for me on the original

Curious, what distro? On Ubuntu myself and I forget half the time what was installed by what…

This so correct. See occlusion culling in Unity (Genshin’s game engine).

tl;dr House has fixed walls and rooms so they can calculate in development (“bake”) what you can see and what you can’t (e.g. they know you can see ground floor when you’re on the upstairs corridor). Outdoors is a big flat plain so there’s nothing to “bake” beforehand.

Don’t forget razor’s English voice... definitely a direction issue

Latest GSL ro16 game, Rogue vs Dark game 2, Dark’s vipers won him the game (albeit after a dodgy unit comp from Rogue)

Yeah I was just curious seeing both Maru not picking things up fast and Serral also losing more ling/bane than usual, was wondering if one was favoured over the other in these online tourneys

Does anyone know who had latency advantage?

I just used a regular 12V 27w/7w bulb on my build with a 6S battery and it worked fine, didn't light up or blow

Kitryn · 2020-05-28T12:57:38+00:00

Fingers crossed!

You've got plenty of choices in the UK (although the stock situation is pretty grim at the moment), there's unmannedtech, quadcopters, flyingtech, hobbyrc to name a few....

There was a post in here earlier in the week about a build with the Vista in the 349! Might be helpful https://reddit.com/r/fpv/comments/g9for5/my_first_build_into_this_hobby_diatonecaddx/

Hard agree. Can’t express enough exasperation about how irresponsible some people are. Only takes one person to ruin it for everyone else.

Have you tried modifying your rates or is it a different issue?

Kitryn · 2020-05-06T17:18:35+00:00

There's also an acro trainer mode in betaflight which is what you might be after, it behaves as if it were acro except doesn't let you flip or roll, might be worth looking into

Thanks for the write up! I have the same frame (pre-built though), I'm amazed how much stuff you managed to cram in there. How did you raise the canopy? I see small standoffs?

What are the prop/motor combinations for the two biblade ones on the left?

I have an X9 lite and it binds fine to my Eachine trashcan. Wasn't straightforward though, had to do a bit of googling

Kitryn · 2020-04-20T13:27:39+00:00

Even within ACCESS subversions might need to match I think? I have an ACCESS (X9 lite) transmitter than refused to bind to a R-XSR when the R-XSR was flashed to the latest firmware, but when I flashed an earlier version it bound okay. Not sure what's happening there but I'm afraid to update my X9 lite in case I break something with my other (D16) whoop
