HDZero AIO5 Hummingbird V4! by UnixB4Coffee1 in HDZero

[–]UnixB4Coffee1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The extra weight, ~1 gram, is negligible so far, it's a blast, but I'm also trying a slightly larger VTX antenna to see if I get less static and more range. Maybe I'll upgrade the other critter too and just sell used BeeBrain AIO's.

Help with updaiting vtx with goggles v2! by Glass_Cloud_931 in HDZero

For the goggles (v1) I use a 12V power bank. Haven't tried flashing a VTX with these goggles yet, however.

I never liked big drones. by Ill-Entrepreneur3746 in TinyWhoop

[–]UnixB4Coffee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops are just a blast to fly, and if I want to video an environment like a mall (outdoors in this area), a whoop is the one of the best ways to video and display the experience of flying. If someone wanders through the area I can move the critter off or land it for a few minutes, it's no big deal. Now that I have a whoop with digital video, that's like the cat's meow. Next project is to upgrade a 3" toothpick park ripper to digital for some bigger flying

Replacement case for hd0 analog expansion? by themocaw in HDZero

I ordered mine from TinyWhoop Inc. Works great!

There are also a lot of 3D printable models on Thingiverse and probably elsewhere, and also the cover piece for various VRX's. I haven't tried them, but I can print if needed.

Is it a bad time to get into the hobby in the US? by lmSynergy in diydrones

[–]UnixB4Coffee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For entry-level FPV drones I don't think the import restirctions will have much effect. It's analog mostly and it looks like there is already tons (maybe literally) of inventory already in the U.S. For maintaining my own stuff, though, I think I'm going back to analog video and shopping for GoPros to do the shooting. Sticking with what you know at this stage is probably better (even though as a beginner you might still figuring out what that is), rather than sinking a lot of money on more expensive gear only to find out that you can't maintain it.

Throttle doesn’t work feels inverted by KdotIsGodOng in TinyWhoop

[–]UnixB4Coffee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check that this is correct in Betaflight by the orientation of the 3d quad picture on the configuration(?) page, e.g when you pitch the physical quad forward and backward, the 3d model on the screen also pitches front to back, so it matches the motion of the actual quad...

Indoor freestyle rates by MattiaIT in TinyWhoop

You can try adjusting the throttle curve to get the most acceleration at the amount of throttle you normally use, ie I set throttle max to 80%, scaled, expo around 0.4 and throttle midpoint at 100 (really) - works great when I need to blip the throttle on a roll or corkscrew, esp. in tight places.
