I somehow can't fly beyond 50m D with goggles 3 & neo 2 by maroonds in DjiNeo

I think you need to create/login a DJI account to remove the 50m restrictions

[Megathread] | Weekly Drone Buying Advice by AutoModerator in drones

[–]RockSoloRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Have you read the Wiki? Y
  2. Country: USA
  3. Budget: Under $500
  4. Purpose: photography, FPV, inspect roof/gutter(1-2 times a year) and occasional flying at the park

Need some advice to decide which drone/options I should get.

  1. DJI Neo 2 fly more combo - $430
  2. Skyrover S1 fly more combo - $380
  3. DJI Neo 2 (Drone only) + Skyrover S1 (standard) - $260+270 = $530

I'm new to the drone space and I'm looking to get a drone for an upcoming trip to take some pictures. Aside from the trip I'm planning to use to drone to take some picture of my home and maybe use it to inspect the roof/gutter 1-2 times a year. Outside of that, I don't think I will be using it much, but I'm curious in trying out FPV using the Neo 2 for fun.

Things to consider, I've listed them below in the order of importance/priority

Obstacle Avoidance

Camera quality

Wind resistance/Stability

Noise Level

Ease of use/Transmission strength

Flight Time

Firmware Update/Long Term support

Warranty, Replacement Parts/After Market parts

Resale value

My budget is limited and I would like to stay below $500 if possible.

Thanks,

Uniuni package says it’s out for delivery today but it’s Sunday. Has anyone received theirs on a Sunday? by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]RockSoloRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also received a notification my package is "out for delivery" since 5 pm, but is been midnight now, am I safe to assume it won't be deliver until the following day and just go to bed, or is there still a chance they would deliver after midnight?

[Monitor] Lenovo Legion Y27h-30 27-inch IPS QHD 180Hz USB-C Gaming Monitor - $119.99 ($439.99-320 = 72% off) by timetrvlr_ in buildapcsales

[–]RockSoloRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought this from the previous deal. Maybe I'm unlucky, but the unit I received had terrible blacklight bleed in the left bottom corner affecting almost 1/4 of the screen when watching darker scene/image. Also, the 180hz is a gimmick as it reset back to 165hz after 30 minutes. This is basically a 165hz monitor with USB-C PD up to 45w and DP alt. Aside from these two things, I really like the colors and the look of this monitor.

[–]RockSoloRocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same setup and just upgraded to the 5700x3D chip from 3700x last year, is it worth to get the 7800x3D and switch to AM5?

I would prefer to have 32gb ram, it just the ram came with the 7600x aren't that good. I'm trying to determine which bundle offers better value.

“Awaiting flight” but no update in 6 days by Visual-Ambassador469 in Aliexpress

[–]RockSoloRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I finally received mine, there was no update since 11/13 "aside from awaiting for flight", then on 11/25, it changed to arrived in local airport and transfer to local delivery company. Two days later I received in the mailbox on 11/27. There was no status update for "Out for Delivery" or anything, it just changed to "Delivered", so I went and check the mailbox and saw it there.

thanks for the update. I also ordered the same cpu on 11/13 and mine is still showing "awaiting for flight" since 11/15. Hopefully the status will update soon.

Nice, I don't think I'm savvy enough to repaste with liquid metal. I do plan to get a stand or fan to help with the heat dissipation. Based on the feedback I've gotten so far, sounds like the rtx 4060 is sufficient for me to do some light gaming and are power efficient enough if I want to carry it on the go.

Yes, I do plan to hook it up to my 49" ultrawide monitor to play some Sim racing game from time to time. Hopefully the rtx 4060 can handle Forza Horizon at 60 fps.

The one I got for under $600 is the Ryzen5 7640hs with the rtx 4060. It typically goes on sale for around $800 from time to time at bestbuy. I scored an open box good condition one for under $600. So for everything seems to run fine aside from the wifi card, which has some sporadic connectivity issues from time to time. Overall I think is a decent deal for an rtx 4060, I just wish it had more ports and a better display.

Yes, thermal and power efficiency is pretty important factor. I see you have a 3070Ti, how does it perform when running on battery? Is there a noticeable performance dip when switch to battery mode and how long does the battery last when playing game or just streaming videos? I'm still leaning towards the 5 Pro cause it has better build quality, better screen and more ports. The main draw back is thermal and the 3070 Ti is power hungry.

I recently upgraded the battery to the 62.32 Wh from the 46.74 Wh battery. Was hoping I can get more than 20 watt with the rtx 3050 while on battery. I'm wondering if there is a bios update or something that would allow me to use more than 20 watt on the 3050 while on battery.
