Good review and neat little quad.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks 👍

[@richmccay-read6389]

Did you have any trouble with the prop guards in the view with the camera angle for slow flying?

[@xXMarlin790Xx]

Can you share your flight settings somewhere?

[@mathewl7427]

Thanks for the review. Other reviewers mentioned that the Pavo 20 had ducts in view when filming. I didn't see any in your footage, did you crop in?

[@WhirlyBloke]

I mount the DJI O3 camera in the upper screw holes and as long as the camera angle isn't too low, the ducts are out of view.

[@mathewl7427]

@@WhirlyBloke Were you close to 0 tilt? I film at that angle a lot

[@samavella8831]

Thanks for the great review. You mentioned about calibrating the Throttle Profile for smoother flying. Excuse my ignorance, but how do you go about doing that? Do you happen to have a video on this? Cheers, Sam

[@WhirlyBloke]

I covered Throttle Curve Profile in a couple of my tuning videos that you can find here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqqogZyLmdqjm6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2LbdIhmr853j9E Maybe it needs a dedicated video.

[@samavella8831]

Thank you. A dedicated video may be a good idea. It may spark a lot more interest and views🤫

[@KyeKunz]

Yes please! I’m interested in the throttle control! Thank you!

[@jameschampion1]

Hey would like to know more about the throttle calibration you was talking about ????

[@txflyerken173]

Can you tell me how to calibrate the throttle profile...my Pavo20 seems to be very touchy on the throttle.....Thanks you....Great video!!

[@WhirlyBloke]

Video coming soon.

[@oculararcade]

I noticed you modified the 03 Lense Mount, abandoning the lower screw slot. Does this eliminate the Props in view?

[@WhirlyBloke]

It does indeed.

[@FPVFRASHA]

hey mate im from the UK too and ive just ordered the pavo20 with crossfire can i just ask you how long it took for yours to be delivered bud? (i used the $30 delivery option)

[@WhirlyBloke]

I honestly can't remember, but generally, I've found BetaFPV to be a couple of weeks.

[@FPVFRASHA]

Thank you mate im verry impatient lmao.

[@LeoPuvi]

Hi, The altitude hold doesn't work on my Pavo20, although the baro works. Does this feature work for you?

[@WhirlyBloke]

If you're using BetaFlight then altitude hold isn't available. Use INAV if you want that. Although, the BetaFPV F4 board isn't a supported target for INAV.

[@leopyuvi2125]

thank u@@WhirlyBloke

[@Viseo3dp]

how do you calibrate your throttle profile ?

[@WhirlyBloke]

I've been asked so many time about this, so I'm doing a video that'll cover the details very soon.

[@Viseo3dp]

That's great thank you@@WhirlyBloke

[@VinnyUnion]

what does KV stand for anyway

[@WhirlyBloke]

The Kv value is a measure of how many RPM a motor turns per volt when it's unloaded.

[@VinnyUnion]

@@WhirlyBloke unloaded? like idly? How is that relevant, is it even relevant at all? Are different values in kV more sought after than other values for quads? Well, at the very least I've partially learned that the V stands for voltage. i do not much about it voltages besides overclocking CPUs in PCs. With Quadrocopters though I am not too sure about voltages, but there's this "mhz" stuff for the signal (I think?) And the higher it is, the farther the signal strength but also more heat it generates. I think the EU has that CE restriction on 30mhz to 100mhz I believe because of radio licenses or whatever.

[@marcfauve6971]

may i have your rates ?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Stock BF rates cos I'm boring 😀
