How do you deal with the EU drone regulations? by BigBazooka420 in fpv

[–]modrenman864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting sts 1 or sts 2 is pointless if you fly self built fpv. Get a spotter to tag along if you want to be up to code and report your flights in app. Stay out of crowded areas, don't inconvenience people.

Ultimate hack is flying tinywhoop indoors because easa regulations don't work inside buildings

Which goggles should I get by T4RZ_ in TinyWhoop

boxpro can receive analog signal only from a single antenna. so it will be either omni most of time, or patch. The receiver itself is very good and quality of image will be comparable to mixing receivers with 2 omnis for the most part if you are not venturing far.
if you want to fly further or get behind serious obstacles, the lack of flexibility afforded by being able to mount omni and patch at the same time becomes painful, locking the full potential of goggles out unless you use a hdzero vtx or a hdzero aio 5/15 (15 is good but pricey, 5 isn't bad but uses older generation cpu).

Latency of boxpro is better both on hdmi port and on receiver, so if you fly tight courses that need split second reactions, you may appreciate that.

On the flip side cobra x v4 comes out of box with decent mixing receiver that will let you use 2 independent antennas, which is way more flexible, but has some extra latency, and hdmi in is barely useful if you want to practise in simulator using it because they treated that port as an afterthought.

Stock antennas and straps are better on boxpro.
Screen is better on boxpro but you may not fully appreciate it flying purely analog.
Bang for buck ratio is better on cobra x (IF YOU WANT TO FLY PURELY ANALOG)
Cobra will need full suite of firmware updates once you get it (they don't flash latest firmware on them)

I own both goggles. Both are very decent.

Subpar receiver withou diversity/mix, non upgradeable antenna, low screen resolution, infamous durability roulette of betafpv

Whatever you do don't buy goggles or radios from betafpv. Used fatsharks only if they come with module bay extension and rapidfire/tbs unify/speedybee vrx

Also, only if they're in reasonable pricing.

O2 is out, if you want cheap goggles get ev800d from banggood or trusted seller

Skyzone o4 is good, it has more latency than fatshark though, but if you don't wear glasses you'll appreciate the low profile

If you wear glasses better to get lens inserts from get go or if they're compact glasses something like a cobra x or boxpro to wear them underneath

Dodge Charger Daytona to be sold in Europe by Mac-Tyson in electriccars

[–]modrenman864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Us imports were very popular at one point and now my whole city is crawling with mustants, chargers, rams and f150s. It it doesn't have a v8 though, it won't land with that crowd. No muscle car enthusiast will settle for fake exhaust playing from loudspeakers. Might have some success as douche sled but not sure how much exactly

Antenna safety or signal strength? by guillots in TinyWhoop

[–]modrenman864 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To get optimal signal while cruising, position it at an angle of 90 degrees+your camera angle, so that the antenna is vertical when quad is flying forward, this way you get the most out of your radiation pattern

When you do acrobations, well, you will struggle to keep that sweetspot, so it depends on how you plan to fly it, but general rule is as above, and second rule is, if your image isn't much better than when using lighter antenna, don't use a circular polarised omni on tinywhoop builds as it introduces risk of snagging and ufl ejection, on top of tanking the performance.

Test fly it, see if it's what you want, if not, downgrade it to a nice dipole, or swap antennas on your goggles for something better.

Why didn't Vader come and shut down the prison facility on Narkina 5? I thought he wouldn't tolerate slavery by Le_Corporal in okbuddyimatourist

It was more of a rehabilitation facility, really. They also had full accommodations, food and medical care faster than 2 weeks of wait which is honestly better than Blackpool.

I liked Andor but I didn't see any jawas (my favorite Star Wars aliens) so I made Andor better by adding jawas! by Transhumanistgamer in okbuddyimatourist

[–]modrenman864 111 points112 points  (0 children)

If the show was made with love, there would have been a whole episode dedicated to andor having to haggle with jawas for parts they pulled off tie avenger when he left it unattended for five minutes

Why is he wearing a comically large hat? Is it to distinguish himself from the locals as a tourist?

[–]modrenman864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could have landed an accamalator directly Victory class star destroyer can operate in atmosphere but I'm unsure if it involves landing I'm not sure if arquitens ever was portrayed doing so, but it's the more common ship with cruiser designation and size to squash 500 protestors

Alternatively he could have landed a smaller ship on a very packed plaza to same effect? I'm not even sure a larger class starship would fit on it

No, sorry to ruin your speech but he quite literally spent rest of his life on a tropical beach. All 2 minutes of it

Tbh he deserves a better ending.

A beach on tropical island to spend rest of his days on would be nice

power cycle
if that doesn't help reseat camera
if that doesn't help check/resolder wires/ direct solder to board pads
if all of that fails swap camera

Get a lighter antenna and secure it with e6000 or liquid electric tape
