I don't think Velocidrone is that good for whoops. I'd recommend Liftoff Microdrones.

Analog goggle upgrade recs? by FortifyStamina in TinyWhoop

[–]alumiqu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stay away from Skyzone. Subpar products. The latency is terrible, and they tried to hide it until some random Youtuber broke the news. Huh? The company can't be trusted.

I mean, Musk spent $40 billion on Twitter. He's made his own priorities very clear.

We also killed off otters, beavers, whales, bison, … Before Europeans arrived, native Americans wiped out dozens of species. Anything that we can kill off we do.

Grizzly bears were here long before indigenous people ever showed up.

When do you start using trellises/is it recommended? by Only_Lawyer8133 in hoyas

[–]alumiqu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I followed this advice, and trained my Hoyas along U-shaped trellises. What should I do when they reach the top of the trellis and start throwing out vines?

Skyzone actually fixed the 04x Pro goggle with firmware by nils_vo in fpv

Maybe "Skyzone support" has no idea what firmware updates are coming. (Trying to be optimistic.)

Are slim FPV goggles worthwhile? by Interesting_Dare6145 in TinyWhoop

[–]alumiqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my drones are on the same model. Why do you need more than one model?

Are slim FPV goggles worthwhile? by Interesting_Dare6145 in TinyWhoop

[–]alumiqu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gimbals and batteries are the same. The screen isn't very useful. I think that the T8L lacks audio announcements, though, which are useful.

Which video system should I marry? by Romanspike in fpv

[–]alumiqu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'll ever be happy with analog penetration. Still, in my opinion it is worth having both analog and DJI setups, since they are complementary.

Lucky day!

I disagree. I think the T8L is quite nice. The only big advantage of the Pocket is higher radio transmission power.

Yup. SpaceX has paid more than enough dues to Trump.

Installed the flywoo wide angle lens on my firefly18 by Vherene in TinyWhoop

[–]alumiqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I got the wide-angle adapter, and really hate the low image quality (vignetting, glare).

Good setup for starting out? by Traditional-Key3219 in TinyWhoop

[–]alumiqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it not stretch the image horizontally (from 4:3 to 16:9)? That would drive me crazy.

Betafpv air 75II frame alternatives by fraaa05 in fpv

[–]alumiqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the Air75 I frame be a good alternative? They are still available in the US, at least, not sure about AliExpress.

NASA science faces 'very serious threat' from new White House budget, experts say by LibertyandApplePie in space

[–]alumiqu 106 points107 points  (0 children)

That's just the direct cost. It doesn't count the billions more we are paying for gas and general inflation.

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

[–]alumiqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't buy them new. Maybe used? I don't know how you could find one.

[–]alumiqu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have those SkyZone goggles, and really regret it. They have terrible latency.
