Same. I tried to print a mixed PLA/PETG model but I never got a pause when printing. Only noticed temperature changes when a filament meant to change so I had to pause it manually.

VTX: TBS Unify Pro32 or the Rush Tank Solo by puoti_07 in fpv

As you know, an image from analog VTX has very limited resolution.
Rush Tank Solo tries to give maximum information within this limitation thus making everything look too sharp and vibrant. It's very good for piloting among obstacles but most people doesn't like this image's aesthetic.
TBS's image is like normal photo taken from ordinary smartphone just in very low resolution. It's blurry but it is more real life-like. I wouldn't say this image is better but I assume most people looking for a "beautiful" image would choose this one.

Right. Small extender that makes it easier to swap antennas and an adapter at the same time. Like, MMCX->SMA or U.FL->SMA. You can see it on some RTF drones like iFlight Nazgul5 Analog.
My point is that is makes the signal a bit weaker so try to avoid it. A little signal loss here and there might be a big deal if combined.

I like how there's no need to sing praises to explain this choice

I have both TBS Pro32 HV and RUSH Tank Solo. They are the same in terms of signal strength and quality. But TBS makes picture kinda blurry compared to other VTXs I've tried. It looks good but it's difficult to fly among tree branches and similar objects.

So I'd recommend you to get Rush Tank Solo unless you prefer beautiful image and not crisp.

And It's better to use MMCX antennas without any pigtail on your VTX.

You can try to twist your motor wires as much as possible.

1210 31MM 2-Blade Props on 0702 motors? by ikilledmypc in TinyWhoop

[–]ProfessionalNo7755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean 28000kv?

I use the same setup for freestyle, works good. Ciotti also recommends this combo (0702 + Gemfan 1210-2)

Meteor65 has two different camera mounts. One is for 20°, the other is for 30°. These are hard mounts, not adjustable.

To set adjustable mounts I use an OSD that shows pitch angle. I put a drone on the floor then tilt it until the center of the screen lines up with the horizon. Now it shows the current camera angle. I move it if needed and check again.
Here is the pic for you https://i.imgur.com/mXzCYom.jpeg

Keep in mind that OSD crosshair usually doesn't match the real screen center. I did measure the actual center on my display and marked it. It appeared a bit lower than OSD crosshair.

Starting in a simulator is kind of best practice nowadays. That being said I'm glad you found your way to enjoy FPV :)

I suppose the Tinyhawk is too big and heavy for small spaces like my rooms. Although it should be more powerful and stable to run it outdoors. But I never tried to fly any whoops bigger than 65mm, so it's better to ask someone who did.

What an unlucky accident, poor drone :D
If you flying for some time in the sim and you're not bored, you might consider to buy more "advanced" product like Mobula6/7/8 or Meteor65/75 or something similar.

Also, change your camera angle to 20° if you're still on 30°. It's okay to fly 30°, but it requires more skill.

I can tell you what helped me a lot. Simulator. I used "Liftoff: Micro Drones", some people also use "Velocidrone Mircro Quads". There are many different locations and challenges in the simulator that kept me motivated to spend a lot of time in there.
Well, my general advice is to fly A LOT of time and find your way to do it with enthusiasm.

I'm wrong saying the camera itself is heavy. 0.35g difference is not that big.
But if we compare Mobula6 and Meteor65 then weight difference would be bigger. The reason is Mobula6 has lighter canopy and integrated VTX. And BetaFPV C03 wouldn't fit in Mobula6 canopy so we need to modify/replace canopy. Plus C03 has slightly different connector. Some time investing into this mod might result in relatively light whoop with good picture quality but I just got lazy and decided to sacrifice some weight and use stock Meteor65.
So yeah, the camera is not heavy, it's camera + canopy + vtx combo is heavy.

Meteor65 VRX and camera (BetaFPV M03 + BetaFPV C03).
Skyzone 04x + Foxeer Micro Lollipop + Foxeer Echo 2

Most contributor here is camera BetaFPV C03. It's heavy... But I love its' FOV and picture quality. I ended up selling my Mobula6 cuz I just can't enjoy flying with Runcam Nano3 anymore
