Thanks Choppergirl! I'll have to give this a go sometime soon!

For educational purposes only, since drone pilots must have eyes in their drone at all times... My area has alot of trees and interference, so even flying around the house causes vtx drop offs going 1/4 of way around house. I was playing with the idea of mounting antennas to the roof to...

My neighborhood for whatever reason has super crappy fpv reception, as in signal failing at 40 yards. Might be all the trees, lots of metal houses, alien spacecraft, etc. Assuming we forget about the whole legal line- of- sight issue when flying a drone, is there a way I can set up an...

I started out on an Idea7 drone (mavic knockoff that uses phone app for video/ controls) along with Google cardboard type vr goggles. The picture quality is actually crisper and more vibrant than analog, but for freestyle (or generally any serious flying) the latency is so crazy that by the...

Thanks for your help again Wafflejock! I think I finally figured out what was wrong and was able to get my bird airborne... I suspect emax mistakenly sent me a tinyhawk 2 race FC instead of a tinyhawk 2 freestyle FC. The two boards are exactly the same, although the tinyhawk freestyle board...

This video on tightening down the locking ring on lens might be helpful: Otherwise check the housing again. I kept losing focus on my caddx rattel1 after a bad crash, and noticed a small crack in the paint. Later realized under the paint the whole front housing cracked, and the camera...

Hi, eternal newbie here... Has anyone had an issue of a totally unresponsive yaw on their drone? Background: I have a tinyhawk 2 freestyle that emax was kind enough to send me a new aio fc for, to fix a power issue. In resoldering the motors, two of motors were reversed, and checking...

Shout out to emax for their amazing customer service! For reference purposes, the bind button is circled in red

Unfortunately couldn't do the binding on betaflight. Tried # frsky_bind, and #bind_rx_spi, but no dice. Maybe my flight controller isn't an SPI? I actually emailed Emax, so hopefully if they can show me where I can post it on here (although with my luck it's probably somewhere obvious).

Cool, thanks again for the quick response Wafflejock! I'll check online to see if there's a cli script for my model. I've become adept at plugging in batteries with my teeth, but I do appreciate progress.

Hi guys, possibly noobiest question on here, but does anyone know where the bind button on an Emax Hawk Pro is? Binding instructions simply say "press the bind button"to bind, but no pictures of where the bind button is. I found a button that says "boot", but probably not that. Also...

So funny story regarding the tinyhawk freestyle... After tips from all the helpful users here, YouTube tutorials, and talking with a drone store clerk over the phone, I was able to bind the emax e6 transmitter to the tinyhawk. That thing has so much pep, I managed to fly it for twenty...

Thanks for all the help guys. Still no dice getting flight, and think it might be outside my current skillset getting everything up and running with the tiny x8 controller. (Even to arm the drone the instructions say to flip the corner switch to position 1, the tiny x8 doesn't have a 3...

whoa I think they should issue an IQ test before they agree to sell someone a drone. Lots to digest, will have to find time to try the different methods. My wife's already jealous of my drone habit, I suspect if I go further down the rabbit hole she'll become an RC widow. Will update here...

Actually it's more like a kingkong ldarc tiny x-8 (but came with the TBS tiny whoop nano RTF kit)
