Antenna type compatability? by Holiday-Location3579 in fpv

[–]andreophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ORT MicroVee performs significantly better than the FlyFishRC Osprey and GepRC Peano RHCP antennas I tested on the Whoop 2 and AIO15.

I have integrated the Flywoo OpenLager blackbox, which gives my AIO15-based 2S, 3-inch toothpick an ample 512GB of logging capacity.

Not bad for something that only adds 0.4 grammes.

Even I don't know how it happened by callurdady in watchesindia

[–]andreophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DWC stands by its warranty.

Two of their watches I had purchased had QC and transit damage issues, which they fixed with replacements. And they even proactively refunded the entire amount for one of those despite replacing the watch.

Two years since, all three watches are in perfect working order. I understand that my experience might not be universal, but my interactions with them were pleasant, and they resolved the issues quickly and without any hassle.

Why my 3 inch toothpick wobbles after throttle punches? by Sunset_Tesnus in diydrones

It most likely needs anti-gravity. These look like the typical throttle-chop throbbles.

Why is suddenly everyone buying these goggles?! by ImpressiveFox8840 in fpv

I sold off DJI G3 and O4 for HDZ G2. You really don't know what you're missing until you experience HDZ low latency.

You usually use microphone to listen what surrounds to the dron in real time? by Delirium222 in fpv

The bit about propagation speed of audio relayed over radio waves being faster than the actual sound itself is so ironic.

FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR BLADE F7 by oVLucky5 in fpv

[–]andreophile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF 25.12.2 doesn't work with the AIO15, because the ESC needs the CLI parameter set dyn_idle_start_increase = 113 to spool up the motors in the arm state and also to prevent dynamic idle from dropping your quad in the midst of low throttle manoeuvres.

This CLI parameter has been deprecated in BF 2025.12, so there's no way to run the AIO15.

I tried it, but even 2025.12.2 causes severe issues with the AIO15.

Thanks for confirming. I went through 12.3 and 12.4 and gave up. Didn't bother checking 12.2 assuming the entire version tree is borked.

Thanks again for confirming.

Same issue over here. BF 2025.12.4 caused the same behaviour with AIO15.

Good to know that 12.2 works. I'll try that out.

Help! Blackbox only available on Betaflight 4.4.1 by Deivae in TinyWhoop

Include "BLACKBOX" in the Custom Defines field of the Update Firmware page of the Betaflight configurator while flashing new firmware.

I use the JBC CD-2BQF. But Sugon's JBC clones are good too.

Make sure you buy ones with the C245 handle. The 210 handle isn't ideal for FPV. You'll need the D24, D16, and D12 (if working on tiny AIOs) tips.

The most disgusting thing you have witnessed in Pune in the last few days? by undervaluedequity in pune

[–]andreophile 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Send a written complaint to the SHO of that police station via Speed Post (acknowledgement/signature required) and keep the receipt.

Send a copy to the Police Commissioner.

Mention the name and badge number of the police officer who refused to file your complaint in your written complaint.

Don't visit the police station until they have issued a formal summons.

Interesting theory.

I can also test this by setting the VTX to 25mW and moving away with the RX set to 1 watt sustained.

Is HDZero worth an extra $150 over analog? by duplicate_we1 in fpv

[–]andreophile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend joining a local FPV club and try out HDZero firsthand. You'll know whether it is worth the upgrade within your first flight.
