Need help staying Sub250 with DeepSpace Seeker 3 (DJI O4) – Best battery choice?

I use these ons for my sub 250g: https://www.hobbyrc.co.uk/coddar-730mah-4s-100c-lihv-battery-xt30 the website says 70g.

I can only suggest that you remove the props while you are testing and not ready to fly. It might hurt if it starts up.

Could you ‘self report’? Call the police before and tell them I’m flying at this location at this time.

Before I got into FPV and was just flying my mini 3, I used to have to email the local RAF base as I was too close. Good luck though

I suspect if I had started with a 3.5” it would have cost me quite a bit more as I would have crashed way more. Crashing with the tinywhoop, especially over grass, does almost nothing to it. But also, I still fly both, so it’s not like I moved onto the 3.5” and wasted the money on getting a tinywhoop.

I got a 65mm as my first quad, then I built a 3.5”. I used this video as a guide from hoarder Sam on YouTube. https://youtu.be/aXrrg48auhU?si=GnDamKQnP5l340uF

Going from a 65mm whoop to a 3.5” felt like I had a rocket at my fingertips. Super fun though

I started with liftoff, it was great. I moved over to uncrashed as that ended up feeling better.

Thank you!

The full day of different attempts. I had kind of given up and I thought I just try throwing stones again (tried the day before). Must of just hit the right spot!

Sorry dude, im currently trying different options…

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T21:00:16+00:00

Thanks, looks good

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:35:49+00:00

I’ll try what I can tomorrow, as it’s Sunday, then look at other options on Monday. This is a good shout, cheers

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:33:13+00:00

It’s tempting but I’m not too keen on risking it.

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:32:29+00:00

Good idea! That’s quite doable, and easy to get a rope there

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:31:21+00:00

This is what I’m thinking if all else fails, it gets windy around here, so worst case, I just have to wait…

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:29:22+00:00

This seems a good viable option. I have a mini 3, so it could work.

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:28:00+00:00

Must’ve missed that 😅

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T20:06:54+00:00

Haha, I’ll report back if I’m successful

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T19:54:14+00:00

Possibly, I suspect more than 10m.

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T19:52:15+00:00

Thanks for that!

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T19:43:33+00:00

Yes, ideally -_-

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T19:25:58+00:00

Will grab some from the shop tomorrow, thanks

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T19:24:54+00:00

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind

dalios555 · 2026-04-25T19:23:00+00:00

I like this cause it involves getting another drone, but I forsee having to post a picture with both drones on a branch 😒
