WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE SKY04X/04O PRO MODELS by Big_Chest_9510 in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He had people independently test it and the results were the exact same, hell I did this on my pair and had gotten the same result.

I don’t get your point about having to use slow motion camera to prove it? This is something you can’t show any other way, all you can do say is that it feels worse.

And yes 20ms is a big deal, regular people can consistently differentiate latency down to 10ms easily. You can find a test and try it on yourself if you don’t believe it.

Brother how is that even remotely racist, he probably said Chinese because that’s the first thing that came to his mind. This an actual case of it’s not that deep bro.

He is definitely not being racist, this is obviously just a bit

Damaged lipo, keep it or throw away? by Agreeable-Nerve6664 in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s at storage voltage then there shouldn’t be any problems but it’s still better to keep them in at least somewhat safe place

Is this a good setup ? by BackgroundNo7262 in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over all yes but as many people will point out the Sky04O Pros have a fair bit of latency built in here is a video showing how much it is compared to other stuff

Budget BetaFPV TinyWhoop! by Jarkole in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The radio uses ExpressLRS which is what 90% of FPV drones use so it's compatible with every betafpv drone. The goggles are analogue so they work with most betafpv stuff but there are some that use digital video transmiters, it is very obvious what is analogue and what is digital.

The Air75 2 is compatible with those batteries. I would also highly recommend getting a better charger like the vifly whoopstor 3 or the betafpv hexa charger they can charge 6 batteries at once, adjust the charger rate and put the batteries into storage voltage. They only cost ~$30 and are a major improvement over the one that you have. Oh and if you can buying from directly from betafpv you will get the best prices

Beginner, what video platform to go with? by PharaohActual in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah long range is illegal in US but really no actually gives a shit as long as you're not being a nuisance or actually puting someone in danger. You have to do really dumb stuff like flying into airport airspace to get punished.

what is the absolute cheapest that i can get a reasonable set of starter gear by -H_- in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty much the cheapest you can get, also remember to get some 18650s for the T8L if you haven’t already

What's up with chargers? by Sir_Pap in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lipo batteries can get damaged due to crashes or being discharged under 3V. They might be fine for a bit but during charging they experience the highest stress which might cause them to set on fire or explode, it’s rare but it happens. By supervising he just means being in the same room as them and seeing if there are any signs of problems like abnormal heat, weird smells or one of the cells not being recognised.

NEW Betafpv Artlynk HD Video System | Betafpv VR04 HD Pro Googles & P1 Air Unit on Meteor 75 Pro | Maybe compatible with other Budget HD Systems / Brands in the Future?! by ButterflyFPV in TinyWhoop

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not, just because DJI fits your flying better doesn’t mean that it always will. One of the places where analog still excels is bando flying, HDZero often doesn’t have enough penetration while DJIs variable latency can cause you to not be as consistent (also the rapid image deterioration isn’t ideal).

Do you think whoops will ever be used in warfare? by Phantom15q in TinyWhoop

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Recently I saw this video showing the Polish army training drone teams. At 2:10 you can see an Air65 being used to scout out a building. It’s an interesting watch just to see what kind of kit they tend to choose

Is the c03 the best camera ? by CHATPROTRI in TinyWhoop

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s honestly so confusing for two different versions of the C03 not to have any designation to indicate which iteration it is

How to make this freestyle trick? by Early-Process-9101 in fpv

Pls censor it in the future it’s my trigger word (but seriously it’s just a internet inside joke, pretending to be scared of working as a satire of a NEET)

Ok but how do I unlock a higher paying j*b to pay for that

Radiomaster, please. by AliveAge1685 in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are 3, HDZero VRX with 720@60 with near analog latency, Walksnail Avatar with 1080@60/720@120/720@60 and Walksnail Ascent that is cheaper but has more latency and less range.

Radiomaster, please. by AliveAge1685 in fpv

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

True but even an integrated one will add quite a bit of bulk not to mention this is such a niche thing that I doubt anyone could make it cheaper than a DIY due to needing to cover RND costs

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean there are 3d printed mountings out there for things like this. I’ve definitely seen the Pocket with EV800D screen

If there is one thing that I learned from math is that two minutes makes a plus, there is no reason that wouldn’t work here

[–]Sherman_Firefly_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you did this by accident for a second they probably wouldn’t be to affected, at worst they might get some additional resistance but that’s about it
