    Launching Model rockets from f450 drone!

    Yah appreciate that you decided to share the vid here but agree that it is probably illegal in the US (land of the free home of the brave).

    Drone not always going where expected... newbie issues :)

    Hey not sure about the binding but if using betaflight on an FC you can pretty easily adjust the "throttle curve" or how much actual throttle is output given some input (can make it on linear so you have to jack the stick way up to get into the actual top end of the power). I'm not familiar with...

    Eachine Novice 3 VS Eachine Tyro79s

    Oh also in general with Transmitters if you go "high end" you are paying for nicer gimbals/sticks where the part that makes the sticks rotate moves smoother (especially over the long term) and is tracked better... potentiometers are used in cheaper ones and will wear down over time and start to...

    Eachine Novice 3 VS Eachine Tyro79s

    Yah can't really speak to all of those but of ones I've had experience with I could say pretty confidently you'll be in good shape with either the Jumper T18 Pro or RadioMaster TX16S. Quick bit of RC history insofar as I understand it. Spektrum is one of the older RC companies that has been...

    Drone not always going where expected... newbie issues :)

    https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwoDb7WF6c8kjYXam4m3msvRbkORU41GY Both of these are a little old and neither is perfect since teachers always just staying one lesson ahead :D but good advise and tips I wouldn't think of when trying to get going at first. Throttle management tends to be hard...

    To all drone experts and who simply loves drones!

    B looks sweet but A is simpler and more reliable (just feel the bldc motors will outlast a servo in most cases)... it's a toss up for sure just a matter if you are okay with the "extra maintenance". I'm just dipping into fixed wing things (slowly but surely) always fun to try something new...

    Motor numbering

    When doing something aside from a quad though like hexacopter or tricopter you can have "weird" configurations for the control outputs and so it is up to the builders to get to know the firmware and what it is "expecting"

    Motor numbering

    Yah there are kind of two ways of doing it either "props in" or "props out". The motors that are diagonal to each other go opposite directions to cancel out the torque/yaw they would naturally induce on the frame (equal and opposite forces), but in terms of which signal from the FC goes to...

    Eachine Novice 3 VS Eachine Tyro79s

    Hiya, These seem like really good options, of the three I'd still lean towards the tinyhawk (I do have one so some bias there I guess). Reason would go with that is would also get a transmitter that can last and be used across any future quads too if you decide to expand on things and that...

    Go Go Bird **GIVEAWAY**

    I like it the only issue is I have so many flying things already (and projects to do), if no one takes you up on it imagine my neighbors kid would get a huge kick out of it.

    Hubsan Zino Pro+ Bad Video Quality

    I'm not a photography/videography person so maybe wrong person to answer, but in general I think what you have looks pretty dang good. I can see what you're saying a bit about the blurriness I would guess it is one of two things, 1 just camera focus, possible there is some physical adjustment...

    Looking for prebuilt longer range quad

    It is totally fine to buy any betaflight compatible quad (really FC just needs compatibility) and then hook up a receiver to it and bind your transmitter to the receiver then configure the receiver input using betaflight configurator.

    Looking for prebuilt longer range quad

    Your plan sounds fine to me get a radio with swappable transmitter module that runs openTX like radiomaster T16 compare the various T16 and T18 transmitters available would be my suggestion. For receiver I trust the spectrum satellite ones a bit more than frsky just seem to work better in my...

    Help whats this for

    Gotcha okay yah the white one looks like PDB to me maybe not needed if everything else can run off your battery voltage and/or your FC has voltage regulators to get the voltage your components need. The one on the frame already is 4 in 1 esc that controls power from the battery to motors and...

    Help whats this for

    Try to share the image in google photos or use an image resizer app if sharing from phone to the forum here. Unfortunately the forum software doesn't do the resize (or at least not if the original is too big) so you have to resize yourself or share assets linked from somewhere else (believe...

    VTX smart audio won’t connect to Flight Controller

    Good to hear have that backup option still to control it like a caveman with a stick if need be :D One other thing maybe worth mentioning is that the pinout that the ports tab is going to map to essentially is baked into the firmware based on what was flashed to the FC, so if you flashed it...

    VTX smart audio won’t connect to Flight Controller

    Cool yah just something easy to overlook or do wrong if didn't follow some guide but that sounds right just sending control signals from the FC to the vtx so should be using a TX pad on the FC. Also yes in general sounds fine, whenever you have some communication between two things you usually...

    VTX smart audio won’t connect to Flight Controller

    Make sure you are going from the FC TX pin to a RX pin on the VTX and from a TX pin on the VTX to an RX pin on the FC, know this is confusing but with UART you go TX->RX and RX->TX should never be RX->RX or TX->TX (well shouldn't say never because some people label it this way but for UART...

    Help

    Try to break down what you are doing step by step. If you can share screenshots of what you're seeing and/or video of what you're experiencing as is kinda hard to guess. Sounds like you have binding/protocol selected in betaflight and all sticks are controlling the right sliders/showing the...

    Here's a Little video about how to create a Tilt Shift effect with your drone photos (In this case a Mavic Mini)

    Pretty sure point is just to highlight something in a scene/photo... he also mentioned can do it with GIMP which is free software so not sure why you would care what software is being used (not like his video was trying to sell me Apple products or something :D ). Anyhow thanks for sharing...
