    Newbie question about 5.8ghz compatible goggle

    Those should work. I have the Eachine EV800D goggles myself and they work great.

    Syma Bind Transmitter and Receiver

    If you Google that model transmitter, it looks like the X8C, which means it will also fly an X5C-1 and an X11, maybe others.

    Brushed motors approx life span

    Coreless motors still have brushes. They're just a bit more efficient and can have higher output, but the lifespan is the same.

    You Just Bought a New Drone...

    It sounds like you know the answer to your own question. Also, if you tell us what quadcopter you're talking about, you'll probably get a lot more meaningful recommendations. Different models are prone to needing different spare parts.

    Bugs 3 Batteries and Chargers

    Skip the individual adapters and get yourself one of these. It plugs right into the iMax and lets you charge more than one battery at a time. The iMax will charge just about anything, but different quads have different connectors. Charging boards are the way to go. You only need the one...

    That one has a built-in power supply and comes with an AC cord.

    Bugs 3 Batteries and Chargers

    This is the charger many people will recommend (and many of us own). It will charge just about any type of LIPO battery, not just your Bugs 3. If you're like the rest of us you will soon own more quadcopters, but you'll never have to buy another charger...

    suggestions for first radio ?

    If you can spend a bit more, the Jumper T8SG V2 might be a good choice. It's multiprotocol so you're not locked into a particular protocol, or having to buy an add-in module down the road if you want to fly something different. It stores configuration for up to 30 different models...

    Where do FPV goggles get their data from

    And of course the power output of the VTX.

    Where do FPV goggles get their data from

    What that tells us is that there is a video receiver built into the transmitter (since it has a built in screen, that you can also output to a set of goggles) but the camera still has to have a separate VTX, using a separate signal than the one that controls the quadcopter. When you're flying...

    Bugs 3 and a Flysky Transmitter

    That doesn't include the Bugs 3 protocol. The 4-in-1 module in the Jumper T8SG has it but I don't think any other TX or module includes that protocol (other than of course the Bugs TX).

    Where do FPV goggles get their data from

    FPV goggles get their signal from the video transmitter (VTX) attached to the camera, not the transmitter. Range depends on the VTX, the power settings, and the antennas on both the VTX and goggles.

    Bugs 3 and a Flysky Transmitter

    Not going to work. The Bugs doesn't use Flysky, it uses it's own protocol. If you have a multi-protocol transmitter like a Jumper, you choose "Bugs 3".

    c5830 fpv camera issue

    Wrong type of camera. That's a 5.8g camera, not wifi, and is not compatible with a phone. You typically use goggles but there are standalone screens. If you want to use a phone for wifi FPV, I believe the C5020 camera is the one you could use. You might want to fire up your Google machine...

    Got your drone wet???

    I doubt there's any data to support the idea that running them underwater is a good thing to do. In fact most of these elaborate break-in procedures that I see people talk about are probably a waste of time. I've learned to just fly it gently for a few minutes and then let her rip. My...

    Got your drone wet???

    Plenty of techs have put plenty of circuit boards and other electronics through a dishwasher. I think the tricky thing would be the motors but if you can flush them out well and make sure they're dry, they should be fine. Maybe relube the bearings. Cameras might be ruined if water gets...

    Are we confusing the words "clone" and "lookalike"? Big difference.
