Goggles should not have much effect on video range, as long as you have decent antenna on them. I'm really impressed with how far I was able to keep video, but it would be even better if I was not launching from inside a neighborhood.

I knew I forgot something in this video. I can post that after work today.

Can't post pics in a reply so I made a reddit post showing my settings. Pretty sure all I did was toggle "GPS Rescue" and then dropped the minimum satellites down to 5: www.reddit.com/r/fpv/comments/1fnz036/gps_rescue_on_geprc_tern_lr40_betaflight_450/?

I think Primus was just on tour with Coheed and Cambria with special guest Puddles the Clown!

@@Mr_Meaty I saw them in Bend OR and it was coheed and guerilla toss

It's a pretty large neighborhood but the surroundings are pretty rural. There is a shopping complex about a mile away in one direction. Other directions are farms and golf courses.

$230 for the analog version. This footage is from the runcam thumb pro I strapped on top.

@@Mr_Meaty thanks 🌟 You are a very skilled pilot. Impressive brother

This camera has no built in stabilization but it exports gyro data. Just save the video and gyro file in the same spot, drag the video into gyroflo (free program) and it should automatically set up the gyro data for you. I switch to static zoom and the rest default settings. Then I type 25 in auto sync points and hit sync. Let it run and then export. It's more work than a GoPro but much lighter and much cheaper.

Actually going to friends with dragons in them.

@@Mr_Meaty oooo isee

I get about that on the 850 as well! The 600 still gives me 5-7 minutes which is plenty for around the yard. It's so light that it changes the way it feels. I like it even better now with the 600

Nope. Just applied the ELRS 500hz preset and then UAV Tech Micro 2" to 4" tune and called it a day

My FC was already running bluejay so I was able to check the rpm filtering box in the tune.

It's 69 grams now. About 15 grams more, but larger 2" props so flys way better. I'm running RDQ (GNB) 550 2s batteries. Recently switched from 2" tri blades to 2" bi blades and it's smoother now.

I got this one from amazon a year ago. I have since moved all the parts over to the geprc Phantom frame with 2" bi blades.

182g dry 255g with a 600mAh 281g with an 850 mAh I think with less TPU I can get it under 250

2s for sure. I only flew it in 1s because someone on Reddit asked. If I'm going to fly 1s I'll fly my mobula7 or mobeetle. That being said, it flew better than I expected it would.

I didn't have to do anything special. I just used the adapter that came in the box. I did fly it on 2s first though. Is it flying on 2s but your adapter isn't getting power?

​@@Mr_Meaty flying on 2S has no issues at all. Just when using 1S is when it has problems. I'm planning to run it on an 18650 1S. But, I guess that's for another build. Thank You though! Much Appreciated

High quality, 4k30 x-view, normal color, high saturation, everything else on auto, medium or average. Ran it through gyroflow but no other post processing.

It is in fact an xt30. I'm running a 4s GNB 850 and didn't even get a low battery warning on this 8 minute flight. I may pick up some 4s 550 and see how much flight time I get.

@@Mr_Meaty Awesome. I'd love to see how it performs on the 550mah

So, i got some CNHL 600 speedypizza batteries in and OMG what a difference it makes! Still get over 6 min flights, and it does feel a little more floaty, but it's so nimble and tossable on the lighter batteries! Also, the weird flutter I get a full throttle powerloops on the 850 do not occur with the lighter 600.

Thanks! The new mount I printed is shorter and attaches to the 20x20 holes in the middle. The quality of my recorded footage looks better than what I uploaded to KZbin. I choose "KZbin" as the file type in davinci, so I'll try something else next time. But I think KZbin only unlocks high res uploads for larger channels. We'll see for the next video.

@@Mr_Meaty Yes, unfortunately you can never be sure whether KZbin will really use it 1:1 or convert it again. For this reason I always export without loss. The disadvantage is that due to the high bit rate, the result itself cannot be checked unless a compressed video is generated before that. (i always keep a compressed version and delete the loseless version after upload) And of course the upload of a loseless version takes significantly longer. And in addition, KZbin takes a long time to convert it, after upload you can shutdown your pc... But you get the best possible quality. I use video editor Shotcut here you can choose lossless with h264 when exporting...

So, I just re-exported using h.265 master preset instead of youtube preset in DaVinci and what a difference it made! You can actually see the lizard crawling up the tree in the first orbit! I don't want to take this video down but from now on will be sure not to use the youtube preset. Thanks!

@@Mr_Meaty If you don't have the lossless option, yeah ok the try selecting one with the highest bitrate or file size. File size can be easily determined under Windows. Bit rate can be easily determined with Potplayer or mental arithmetic, for example..... And of course a compressed (not lossless) video will be smaller in file size with h265. But I use h264 for lossless, because in my opinion it doesn't make a difference in quality if it's loseless h264 or lossless h265. But h265/HEVC usually takes 4x longer than h264 for encoding...

I made this video because someone in reddit mentioned it could be flown on 1s. The mob8 is WAY more fun on 2s and without the weight of the thumb pro on it.

The runcam thumb pro is the camera I'm using. But since this video I have changed my setting so everything is set to auto except shutter speed is 1/60. Then I will choose an ND filter depending on how sunny it is. I should have a new video with those settings comparing to a DJI action cam up this week.

I upgraded to the tinyape from a mobule7 1s, so it seemed like a big improvement. The crux35 is indeed significantly better than the tinyape and i LOVE it! it actually scared me a little at first and I'm hesitant to go to a full 5" on 6s batteries. I think I will experament with some other 4s models for awhile first.

I've been flying for almost a year now (6 months when I recording this video) and I crashed all the time the first couple months. But I learned on 75mm tiny whoops, which are very light so don't take much damage when they crash. Are you flying the avata in assisted or acro mode? Using the remote or the motion controller?

@@Mr_Meaty I’ve been doing both. Which scrambled my brain a bit. Acro in the sim and made some progress there, but I still feel very green. Normal mode when I just wanna get some video and test around with what I can do cinematically. I’m using the remote because that’s the be all end all for drones, so I’ve never even paired the motion controller to the goggles. I’m just disappointed with the fragility. I don’t mind the practice and hard work, I’m just afraid that each time I crash I’m risking losing the drone. I’m open to buying a tiny for practice but I don’t see a DJI one after a quick google.

@@Sovereign_54 yeah, I would stay away from the motion controller. The sim is what most folks suggest, but that's not what I did. Happymodel just released the mobula8 DJI but connecting it to the DJI remote is a bit of work. Anything else is going to be a full ecosystem of drone, goggles , batteries, etc. That's actually what I started on, a complete analog tiny whoops kit for around $300 If I were to start all over again I would get the new sub250 whoopfly16 RTF combo: sub250.com/collections/analog-drones/products/whoopfly16-rtf-combo

It's the same canopy as the crux 3: www.happymodel.cn/index.php/2021/10/16/inta360-go2-caddxfpv-peanut-camera-mount-holder-for-crux3-3d-printed-tpu-file/

on 1s, it felt slow and underpowered but not as bad as I was expecting. got almost 3 min on 550 battery. I flew the thumb on the normal 2s battery and got about 4 min but could not fly as agressivly as without the thumb. felt off balance but I will make a better mount for it and try again.

I was concerned so I posted this in the patreon chat. This is how headmazta does them but you really do need to slow it down to see, and everyone else's are slow and well defined. I usually only get good time to fly on the weekend so want to submit something, but will try to get better cubes during the week. Thanks for checking it out for me!

The sooner we get these done, the sooner we can order parts for everyrhing we broke!

@@Mr_Meaty LOL very true!... I gotta do mine tomorrow lmao

@@MoeFPV Can't wait to see it. Yours have been on FIRE!...some literally...

Yeah... Both the motors broke at the shaft. One was a pretty bad crash but rh first was onto grass from only a couple feet up.

Oh man I LOVE orbits! Did them before I knew it was a named trick.

@@Mr_Meaty It shows.
