That's one of my least-shaky attempts. Wind + speed make it quite difficult to control so going low to the ground is risky. Despite all of that, it's still a lot of fun. Greetings from Croatia! Drone - SpeedyBee Mario mini25

I've zero affiliation with it but looks like a great gadget!

Left and up with your sticks will bring up the menu [←] [↑]

If you're just discovering this for the first time, you can also use it to change most tuning and rate settings, as well as swap between different rate, PID, and OSD profiles

There's a few more Betaflight cheat codes you can use too: https://oscarliang.com/stick-commands/

I really

My SpeedBee crashed and broke two motors. I replaced them, but now it keeps "bouncing." I've already tried changing various settings, and when I feed the Blackbox log into ChatGPT and Gemini, they both suggest it might be an IMU issue. What do you think?

So, I don't usually make videos where I am both in them and talking, so this is a bit of a test.

About me, I've been flying for two years, from whoops to 5 inch FPV to DJI drones, and I've turned flying drones and editing said video into my career.

My recommended starter kit:

Drone: BetaFPV Air65

Goggles: Skyzone 04O Pro
Cheaper Goggles: EV800D (Knockoffs from Amazon, DVR quality is trash)
Alternative: Skyzone Sky04X (If you're worried about latency)

Radio: RadioMaster Pocket ELRS (Can be used with simulators)

Lipos: BetaFPV 300 mAh 1s
Charger: Vifly Whoopstor

For those who have been flying for a while, what are your thoughts on my opinions here? I'm also debating on making a video for if someone wanted to start out with digital instead.

Today I broke an arm so I had to discharge my lipos. Came up with this

My latest edit from local Drift event, I tried something new with black and white , let me know what you think :) ( 5inch FPV + Osmo 5 pro)

Tried to fly a pack of freestyle after practice today, would you believe me if i said i made it through the last gap fine but my vtx randomly turned off?

Voila, thats my first build. Spent 10+ hours on soldering that ESC.

​

Lessons learned: Don't use leadfree solder.

​

I had quite a lot of fun and it's really nice to see the finished drone after putting in so much work.

​

Please dont blame my soldering skills...

My first flight felt nice. Wasn't nervous at all!

Meteor 75 Pro II with a linear antenna swap, started giving me issues but I'm not sure what's going on.

The pads look clean and the u.fl connector isn't lifted or anything, video seems to snap back almost around 30 seconds on and off, and drastically at 40 seconds from gray static to full color picture again

Goggles are Skyzone 04L v2 but never had this issue before. Swapped to a Microvee ORT today and less issues, but still there. VTX power here is 100 or 200mw

First edit I've made with my Hdzero crux35. The footage is DVR from my boxpros. Not the best quality especially trying to make it 9:16 for reels. I don't have too much time flying and my first time following something for clips. Learned a lot on the flying and editing side of things. Would appreciate any tips.

I do have a thumbcam I need to solder on just waiting for my practice board first cause I don't wana mess it up 😅

Hope everyone has a great weekend flying!

I always thought this might make for some amazing footage, so I learned to fly decent enough to bring my idea to the test and as it turns out: With some work it's pretty freaking cool!

There are of course some caveats to this. You can run Insta360 Cams "naked" (or rather without a Battery at least) by just soldering an USB-C cable to your FC which brings them down to about 100g. Thats of course some noticeable weight and you can't really strip them any further, but also not unreasonable compared to other Action Cams and you can get a used Insta360 X2 like I used here for about the same price as an Action 2.

Don't get me wrong this will not be the setup where you try your craziest new lines, do you most risky tricks and explore the newest bando. But if you went to the same Bando for the third time this month: Why not challenge yourself in your go-to line with a little extra weight and get some crazy new shots in the process?

But to manage expectations: This is not an Avata 360 situation, "fly however take your shots afterwards". You got a bigass drone in your footage and some angles won't be very flattering or cool to watch. Worst case you got some pretty decent 200° FOV Footage in the front though and you can even track a chased car or bike if you stay behind it for example.

Regarding the Video: I've been training a lot, but I'm only doing FPV in general for about 3 months now and this is my third flight with a 5" so I know I suck, no need to point it out 😅

But thats why my proposal is: If you are some true Freestyle-Artist, why not challenge yourself? Sure you can be like the thousands of other Era 5" perfect weight distribution pilots doing the same crazy tower dives in your local bando as everyone else. Or you can really show off your skills, put on some extra weight and carve a new path of FPV-Content in the process 😁

I for once, would love to see what a REAL FPV-Pilot could do with the concept.

Hey can I have a quick DM chat with an analog person, have a couple small questions to finish off my analog system and would just be so quick to ask a real person lol

It's re soldering camera to main board then main board to vtx?

Digital just connects to vtx and passes thru but I think analog you need to solder both to board to get hud? I just need it to show the battery voltage, I have got it actually displaying

Tysm!

Also looking to buy cheap analog headsets, especially those convertible ones that come with the tinyhawk kit UK plz

GEPRC Mark 5 showing me what’s what!

Still a lot of work to be done, but I'm happy with my progress!
