@@Xcx284 reduced range can be due to a number of things - external interference, transmitter orientation, obstructed line of sight or flying at low altitude.

@@dronewilder5234 i tried flying out in the sea to a nearby inhabited island abt 500m today. As usual, it loses connection at abt 350m and I had to turn back. I switched between 2.4/5.8, auto, manual, everything, but nothing works. Mine is a CE region. Yet I’m able to turn on manual mode. Maybe that’s part of the new update. Not sure 🤷. Flying altitude is between 80m-150m. The same problem also occurs when I’m flying out in the plantation fields as well. Are there any mistakes I’m not realising here?

@@FamiliaColl hi, just to clarify, you would also need the Goggles 3 in order to fly with the FPV controller 3 as the controller links to the goggles and the goggles then communicate with the drone or O3 air unit.

I’m looking to put together a setup tutorial on all this so if you’re not in a huge rush I should have this up within the next two days to guide you through the linking and setup process

@dronewilder5234 yes I igot the Avata 2 combo on its way, so I gonna have the Goggles 3 also.

@dronewilder5234 my avata 2 should be here within a week so the timing is gonna be perfect!

@@FamiliaColl you’ll be fine then 👍

@@Skytechaerials hey bud, I’m in Folkestone - same neck of the woods.

@@dronewilder5234 would be keen to meet up from time to time for a fly if you fancy it? It’s hard to find local FPV operators

@@maixior123 technically the O3 binds with the goggles as the remote 3 only has a link directly to the goggles, not to the o3 air unit or drone. I would just have all 3 turned on while binding though

@@anderskristensen2755 at this stage I don’t think there’s comparability with the DJI fpv or avata 1 yet

@@sotosnik make sure lock horizon has been ticked, dynamic zooming selected and set lock amount to 100% and roll angle correction to 0. These should be the defaults anyway. You may also have to try different integration methods found under motion data section in the bottom left of the screen. By default this is set to “none”

@@Graphicales make sure all devices are upgraded to the correct firmware - this is best done with the drone assist software. The bind button on the air unit I think you only have to press a few seconds.

Hi of course you can use this. The footage is quite old so if you want I can produce something a bit newer and current for you. I’m local so always happy to help out local projects

lol very eagle eyes of you

@@philihc I have a few drones that I run on ELRS and yes it’s a brilliant system but I’m torn between preferring the convenience of only having to carry one controller when I take my beta flight drone alongside my DJI avata 2.

@@dronewilder5234 yeah I thought that and I get it, sometimes the better system isn't the better solution and the DJI Link isn't too bad, if we are serious, if the video is gone, most of the time you will crash anyhow it you have GPS / failsafe as an emergency solution

@@philihc absolutely - and I fly in often places where the drone is unrecoverable if I crash so GPS failsafe is almost a must for me

@@bikerxxuk hey thanks, I’ll have a look into this.

@@luisamarales941 you need to assign a switch on the controller to arm the motors. To do this identify which button controls the desired channel on betaflight and then assign that channel to motor arm

@@joshellis53 well it’s more meant to be a fix for people after they’ve stripped the screw. The dji supplied screw drivers aren’t the best so this catches a lot of people out. The rubber band fix didn’t work for me. Totally fair point about using correct screwdrivers.

@@ShaneInseine yeah it’s possible as presumably you’re then not using the air unit for RC communication. Interesting though.

Hello @Shanelnseine, I'm looking for something better than the DJI RC3, I have the Googles 3, can you recommend which models and protocols you use with your boxer? Doesn't it generate interference in the video transmission? Thank you very much

@@h.hristov I haven’t actually measured it but based on feel I’d definitely say it’s a bit less of confident feel (flying through woods etc) than I had with the avata 2 for sure. So I guess that ties in with his findings.

@@dronewilder5234Let’s hope they fix it

@@rcwck hi, the Hd refers to the video signal and RC is the radio signal. I had it set to auto frequency for this initial test. I can confirm that the double tap for pass through does work with the air unit

@@dronewilder5234 Do you know if the video link drops out RTH will be triggered or does it require the radio link to drop out?

@@dronewilder5234 Can you explain how the Goggles 3 gets linked? Is it through the RC 2 controller or direct to the drone? My concern is if the range will be less when using the goggles. A test using each for range would be interesting to me. Thanks for all your help and testing.

@@rcwck with the goggles 3 there is a Bluetooth type connection between the RC 3 and the goggles, the goggles then communicate both video and RC signals with the drone. The rc doesn’t have a direct link to the drone - it’s all done via the goggles. This is why there’s no external antenna on the rc3 as it only has to communicate a short distance to the goggles.

Dji system is so much better than Walksnail. I have tried Walksnail,HD zero, Analog, and DJI. DJI isn't the best for freestyle and racing, but DJI is by far the best for everything else. All systems have there pro's and cons but Hdzero and DJI are the best digital systems. Analog is great for newbies and freestyle. Hdzero is the system most professional racers use as well becoming the new standard for freestyleas well. I have a drone company, and DJI is by far the best option for professional work. You pay more but don't need to add additional action cameras, which makes up for the higher cost of DJI equipment. Also, don't buy the avata 2 for racing or freestyle it sucks in that regard, but it's awesome for cinematic stuff and close proximity flights. To be fair, that's its intended purpose, so DJI knocked it out of the park with the Avata 2 if you use it as intended.

@NORB_FPV but does not work in wing without FC. There is a world besides quads

you can connect the googles 2 & remote 2, to Control the Avata 2 and it works nice

Water is non-conductive (without being saturated with salt). It does not act like a metal, it is not Rf reflective. It just absorbs Rf energy. The DJI system actually works better around metal which is Rf reflective as it can move data through those reflections. Have seen the same around some rocks as well.

@@daemn42 lol

@@kavorka8855 lol all you want. What I said is accurate. Research it yourself. Yes tree canopies block Rf because they contain water, but water does not "act like metals".

@@daemn42 sure, let's research it. Me: body of water vs metal vs high frequency radio attenuation ChatGPT: Certainly! Let’s explore the attenuation of radio waves across different materials and frequencies. Water vs. Metal: Water: Radio waves, including high-frequency ones, are significantly attenuated in water. This is due to the absorption and scattering of radio waves by water molecules. Light waves are also affected by attenuation in water, but radio waves experience more significant loss due to their longer wavelength. Metal: Metal surfaces are excellent reflectors of radio waves. When radio waves encounter metal, they bounce off, resulting in minimal penetration. The high conductivity of metals contributes to their low attenuation properties. High-Frequency Radio Attenuation: As frequency increases, path loss (attenuation) also increases. This phenomenon occurs because higher frequencies experience more absorption and scattering by various materials. For example, consider a concrete wall: At 2.4 GHz, the transmission loss through a heavy concrete wall is approximately 23 dB. At 5 GHz, the transmission loss increases to around 44 dB. Heavier materials tend to exhibit more significant differences in attenuation between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. When designing wireless networks, understanding these attenuation variations is crucial for accurate predictions and optimal material selection12. In summary, water attenuates radio waves more than metal does, and higher frequencies experience greater attenuation due to absorption and scattering in various materials. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! 😊

@@daemn42 it’s certainly noticeable that you get worse penetration through trees during the summer where they carry more leafs and more water.
