The prices of some of these drones I recommend 👌 having a GPS. Our hobby is not getting cheaper. Thank you for your time and effort to make this hobby enjoyable 😉.

An overview of INAV compass setup would be awesome. I use INAV on my fixed wings, but have never used it with a quad.

[@Painless360]

Compass setup video is already out. Preview of the full INAV quad setup here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYubgoOOntRgn5o

@@Painless360 Thanks for the info.

[@genericfpv]

Perfect timing, I just built a 7” with the same stack and GPS just the config to do - which you’ve just massively help with thank you!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic tutorial, Lee! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@verbalance5630]

I get hungry, every time I understand you say Pizzaflight 😂 Thank you very much for the Videos, I learned a lot

[@tomleonard1533]

Brilliant thanks

[@johncarold]

Hi Lee, Great video and information about Betaflight GPS, I just finished my 7in Source one lr and I have Betaflight right now and it works great for my needs. But someday I would like to try INAV. Thanks for the video and information.

[@Painless360]

Thanks for the comment. GPS is a must for LR quads, great example... Happy flying

[@WindjumbieFPV]

Works really well on BF 4.5, all we need now is ''altitude hold'' or some sort of parking mode

[@Painless360]

Tricky to do traditionally without using a compass... Happy flying

[@jdflyer7377]

Thank you for the great video!! Yes, PLEASE, time permitting for you, a video on setting up iNAV would be greatly appreciated!!

[@Painless360]

Preview for you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYubgoOOntRgn5o

[@Arab4Tech]

Good ❤

[@Onepunchfpv]

Maby one day if you have some time, could you make a video about converting all the pids and settings to inav or arducoper? i just can't get my drone flying as good as it does on betaflight on the other systems

[@Painless360]

Rates and expo are the two big ones. That would be a never ending job and the videos would become out of date very quickly... Happy flying

[@SlackJackflack]

Is there any way to get the telemetry off of a betaflight drone to a computer via telemetry? Would be neat to track a drones flight path with software during the flight.

[@Painless360]

You should be able to, using logs or saved telemetry. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5eTcqOHqdyipposi=ot4q-YRS0WvAP_at for how I do it with INAV.... Happy flying

[@leif8660]

so I am building a drone that has the Speedybee F405V4 with the RDQ Mach 3 VTX, and a HappyModel 2.4Ghz ELRS receiver, Phoenix 2SP cam. I haven't picked a GPS yet because I am still not sure what I need. I'm not ready for stunt flying and more interested in the video aspect. If I am understanding these videos correctly, INAV is more along the line of what I would need. I want my drone to come home and also hover in position. Do I need a GPS with a compass and magnetometer? I was looking at this one for my build if compatible GEPRC GEP-M10-DQ Series GPS Module. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@Painless360]

Check out the video from yesterday where I setup INAV on this quad and answer all those questions... Happy flying

[@vtowndegekste]

I have a beitian bn220 gps, should i use ublox or nmea?

[@Painless360]

Noth should work but the default is NMEA if I recall. You can't hurt anything by trying the one it won't work with..

[@hebertdsuarez2123]

What is that gps model? I want to make sure I buy the right model that is compatible with speedybee f7 v3, I bought a HGLRCM10 with compass and was not compatible:( I want someone that have the same FC that recommend one. Thank you advanced

[@CurtisRedfield]

Would you be open to posting your design of the gps mount?

[@Painless360]

I wasn't planning to as it is very specific to the GPS and frame. Are you using the exact same stuff?

[@CurtisRedfield]

@@Painless360 No sir, same gps but its on a Source One v5. If you are okay with it, may I try to retrofit/change it? I am new to cad design so it would be a big help.

[@--JohnDoe]

I want betaflight hover.
