Nice quick demo, those things are useful for sure, helped me to get connected to a buddies cinewhoop that would have otherwise been impossible to get a regular cable to plug into (I have similar one but without the hinging just baked in 90degree on the tip of it so can slide into tight spaces)...

If you could drop a product link to which one you bought would help since there are a few versions out there. In general a VTX signal is sent on a 5.8GHz carrier frequency and so any 5.8GHz antenna should work.

Should be all good leaving the receiver signal wires from the vista for the control link disconnected I have similar setup with air unit minus the DJI control link just using it for digital video and works fine, I still get OSD.

That is indeed a weird one. After watching the clip a second time I saw you did try disconnecting at the end and were still seeing the same. Regarding the esc flashing or rather not being flashable I haven't encountered that issue myself yet ever but could certainly be related. Extra weird...

It should work. That said getting the receiver connection correct can be difficult because need to use the "right" input pin for a given type of signal (in cases when signal is inverted). If you get betaflight configurator setup now and pull the setup from your current quad it can help, but...

Eh luckily says commercial and really I try not to fly over other people's places just out of respect and desire to not lose my quad on their roof and have to explain the hobby to another person :) seems pretty hard to enforce too though just like most of these laws just something else if they...

Yah make sure your throttle reads 1000 when stick is at 0 and make sure stick is at 0 when hitting the arm switch that'll stop it from arming. Also if you can get dumps of the blackbox logs from betaflight configurator blackbox logs tab/section then can see why it is failing to arm potentially...

Also make sure props are tightly locked down if some are loose it could really be yawing in one direction and trying hard to stop that from happening by spooling up the two.

Good assessment on the yaw issue it does seem if those two motors diagonal each other spool up it's trying to counteract some yaw. Could be the FC is either too tightly mounted down or getting little vibrations from the frame, you might be able to correct it with some filter settings in the PID...

Nice cruise. Agree, only downside I've seen with my air unit is it occasionally cuts off clips, seems worse further into the SD card so maybe a clean wipe/format will help with that. Other minor downside seems to be range isn't quite as good as I can get with analog and when it cuts out the...

Ah you cannot arm normally with USB connected. Just verify your modes has arm switch setup right but if you disconnect from computer should be all good :D They don't normally let it arm while USB is connected since would be tethered to the computer and dangerous with bigger quads. If you have...

The simple rule to go by is stick to whatever gauge the mfg put on a battery leads to not "limit" things though or incidentally bleed off a lot of power as heat.

Probably fine, ultimately amount of current drawn through a given wire is what's going to cause loss as heat from resistance in the wire. If the heat has no where to dissipate it can build up and cook components or desolder things but given the thing is likely ripping through the air when it's...

Hi Cisco, Welcome to the forum nice to virtually meet ya. There's a handful of regulars here and then the occasional passerby either trying to sell 10K+ rigs or buy a "hobby grade quad" for under a $100 (Damn you UAV futures :) ). Watched your vid here pretty cool stuff the "regular FPV"...

Thanks for sharing the troubleshooting. I recently dove into the deep end with ExpressLRS TX/RXes think I will write up a post here with the steps to get that setup/configured once I get my head above water (it'll happen one day just wait and see).

Never tried those but it's had good experience with the ovionic ones found on Amazon. The tattu ones haven't been as good in terms of cycle life for me, but seem fine out the box, so would say worth getting few different brands at same time and can see how they stand up to roughly the same...

https://betaflight.com/ Download betaflight configurator https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases You may have to install some usb drivers if never hooked a quad up to the computer but basically follow the instructions on the installation and on startup screen of...

Check with the seller if getfpv or rdq their support tends to be good at helping diagnose and resolve issues. If can't get a hold of seller try capturing and dumping blackbox logs from the copter using betaflight.

What don't have any extra 10k burning a hole in your pocket for a quadcopter that won't be able to fly in the mountains or really too high or it will get out of cell tower range :D

Could just be the receiver on it is dead and could be replaced. If it has a USB port can try hooking it up to a computer and assuming it runs betaflight can use the configurator to see if the FC seems to be working as expected and ESCs/motors are good in which case if the RX is dead you could...
