[@dronexsweden6906]

@@paulclement3235 You connect it just like any other vtx, it need a ground connection (black wire) a voltage connection (usually red wire) and a video in from the camera (yellow). Look in your manual what voltage it can handle and that the wire colors are like I stated. Usually the voltage in can take the battery voltage directly. Also if your flight controller has a built in OSD you can connect your fpv camera to camera in on the FC and the connect the camera out on your FC to the yellow video in on your Sinopine TX862.

I found the Mobula 7 to be a crappy indoor flier as it came. Throttle management is a bear, always chasing the right power and difficult to keep stable for hovering. I'm fairly happy with it outdoors. Maybe I'll try different PIDs, but I plan on a frame and prop swap for flying outdoors.

[@izakburlo]

Hi! So I just got my mobula 7, and it used to arm just fine, but now when I try to arm the drone just starts beeping. It’s a few quick beeps and then it stops. Any suggestions?

[@dronexsweden6906]

Izak Burlo that’s most likely because of the drone not being level. If it doesn’t sit completely level it won’t arm. You can change this in the betaflight software. Look for arm angle or something like that. Hope that helps!

[@izakburlo]

DroneX Sweden Thanks man, i figures it out. Turns out it was just a throttle alarm so I changed a few settings and I’m good now

[@dronexsweden6906]

Izak Burlo Ahh yeah that’s a common problem too. Glad you figured it out!

[@nickvledder]

Exchange the connectors to XT30. Only use 350mAh 2s LiPos.

[@izakburlo]

What is the minimum voltage the mobula should have on 1s? I charge it up to 4.2V maximum, but what is the lowest voltage I can fly before I should recharge?

[@dronexsweden6906]

Good question, it depends who you ask but most people say that everything above 3.4V is okay! Normally with 1s drones you can basically fly until it starts feeling sluggish. Since it doesn't have a lot of power on 1s it will have a very noticeable loss in power as the voltage sags. Also the Mobula have a low voltage alarm that will start to beep. However this being said the less you push your batteries to a low voltage level the more cycles they will survive. Just check the voltage on your charger after each flight. Normally you can fly to 3.4V and then they usually sag back to about 3.7V when you measure. Another good tip is using the mah reader in the bottom left of your OSD. For instance if you fly something like a 250mah then I would be comfortable to fly to around 200mah. However your reader might be off if you haven't calibrated it. Hope that helps, happy flying!

[@izakburlo]

DroneX Sweden Thank you so much, that was very helpful!

[@shawnryc7347]

How do I set up tournagy evolution for the power settings on mobula 7 on 1s

[@dronexsweden6906]

You don't need to change anything on the Turnigy transmitter to fly 1s. However the low voltage alarm has a tendency to go off so you might want turn off the sound in the Bri./Sound menu. The OSD however will notice that it is on 1s and warn accordingly.

[@ketarap]

I burnt my motors and want to replace them. Does the wire colour of the motor makw any difference? Can i buy all four motors in red wire?

[@dronexsweden6906]

The sort answer is that it matters. Here's the long answer: As far as I know the color corresponds to the wire order. So the red wire motors spins one way and the black the other. You could just swap the placement of two of the wires in the connector to switch this however. Also on boards that support it you can change the motor direction in the bl help suite. I don't know if the Mobula has that feature though. Hope that helps!

Great tips but I think you missed an important one - scaling back the throttle range. This can be done in either Betaflight or on your radio with OpenTx. A less sensitive throttle with a lowered max makes it much easier to fly level (especially indoors on 2S). Yes expo can help too but reducing throttle range helps more. Edit: I switch between 80% for outdoor and just 60% for indoor. Allows me to always use 2S for longer flights even indoors.

[@dronexsweden6906]

Yeah, great tip! I thought about it and it can definitely help a lot when flying indoors. However, I personally prefer flying without it to get max performance outside and then have uniform controls when going inside again. Happy flying!
