There is a marked difference in how smooth your flying is in this video compared the previous ones! You're improving and the mini-gaming monitor looks like it is gonna save you so much pain and annoyance! Such a cool setup
UA-cam algorithm found you for me. I was looking around for this yesterday. And here it comes today.
My guy, never did I expect myself to enjoy this style of videos. Cheers!
Great video mate, keep it up
great idea BUT your gps is facing down the ground during flight when mounted this way at your nose of the quad
having a back-up monitor is great for other people around you to watch, or for people who are particularly sensitive to VR-sickness.
starting to fly with a monitor (or in simulator) can really help with VR-sickness, my dad can't stand the goggles but loves whooping on the TV.
but there is nothing quite like doing a full throttle punch-up into the sunrise in the goggles, the goggles are really the only way to fly.
This vid got some good heat! Congrats. I enjoy the content and vibe of your vids plus it’s obvious you put in the work to make them interesting. New sub. I can’t fly acro outdoors on a monitor because I’m easily distracted but I dig the concept. Thanks for posting.
To backup settings, connect to the FC and in the CLI tab type DIFF ALL and then save to file. To restore, go back to the CLI and click load from file. This would have gotten you most of the way but there are a few settings to work through that have changed in 4.4+ and would be colored red when loaded from a file. Backup settings before making changes and even afterwards too so you can always roll back if you run into an issue.
Also for sunny days you can make a cheap monitor sun hood out of black foam board and adhesive backed velcro. Happy flying!!!
Nice design on the 3d-printed wheel monitor adaptor. I tend to wire the GPS to a 5 volt power to a pad that has 5 volt power when the FC is plugged into an USB. Can then use portable USB power bank, or plug into USB in your car as getting things set up, or near the field.
It also helps that the vtx isn't powered this way reducing interference and improving the sat lock.
GPS - wrap copper tape around your antenna, add a strap wire to connect it as per you antenna connection. Make sure the copper is covered/heat shrunk or fabric tape to isolate it & prevent shorts.
No my idea - saw it elsewhere on YT 👍
if you decide go with the monitor instead of the goggles, you'd probably do better with the walksnail standalone rx you can probably 3d print a mount that attaches to the back of the monitor
Also for turtle mode, you have to arm the motors for it to work
If you get an M10 based GPS, they are much better at picking up satellites, plus they have a memory. What I do when I get to a new session, is first just apply USB power to the FC via a powerbank. That way the GPS can start up, while the VTX stays powered off. Then once it has enough satellites locked, you can remove the USB power and power it up for real. Should be ready to go MUCH quicker with this method.
If you think about it, if you enable GPS rescue, failsafe to Return to Home mode (RTH) it can't take off before it has full lock, otherwise things can go seriously wrong if you flick the switch to enable RTH, before it has all the satellites it needs
Love finding Aussie FPV stuff.
You could always build a shade box around the screen with some black foam board (from Officeworks) or cardboard.
Cheers from Qld bro subbed n liked
A trick with gps I learned… plug a USB battery pack into FC in the car and carry both to your launch area. Then unplug when you are ready to take off and your satellites will likely be fixed by that point.
The whole vibe of your vids mate.. soothing asf. Feels like im hanging out with a frnd hahahah
Sounds like a kiwi, chill country in whole, if so. :-)
But channel does say Aus. If he's Aussie that's the weakest accent I've ever heard. Lived in NZ for some years perhaps?
@@fredio54maybe a british who’s been in Aus for a long time?
You can lower the minimum amount of required satellites to 5, and the Home Point will be accurate and it will then display the H and how far you are from the Home spot.
If you dont have a M10 GPS, then definitely get that. Allow arming without fix, lets you arm the drone without having the proper amount of Satellites, but you will not have GPS Rescue..
It still takes about 1-2mins for the first battery pack of the day.
If you want to go even further look into how to do the GPS wire shielding and grounding the shield.. You will get 5-6 Sats and be ready to take off in 30 seconds..
Definitely lower your minimum Sats number needed for takeoff, i have never had a problem with it at 5 Sat's, which is the minimum for me on V4.4..
Im going to be updating it to BF V5.0 release version soon as well to see what else was done to the GPS & GPS Rescue..
An M10 might, but might also not, magically solve your locking time problems. If it's too close to the VTX and the latter is too noisy, it'll crap out just as much as the M8. And then the GPS antenna size also matters, irrespective of the GPS chip. And then stuff like cloud coverage on a given day matters a lot. And then, for this kind of flying, no real need for GPS.
There's a BetaFlight setting that lets you arm without/before having a lock.
Have the same but named Azropa and I'm using it with MFD for long ranges with Walksnail VRX. Perfection when sitting in the car, looking at the monitor and don't feel the cold. Antennas mounted outside.
you can export your config to text. Run a cli "dump" command, its also available within the GUI.
Nice, Which drone are you using?
If your GPS is next to your VTX you’re gonna have a tough time getting satellites
You have the quad sitting on a metal drain cover, that's why you're not get enough GPS signals. You should never arm a GPS drone on or to close to metal.
I think it’s the cutting out of the world wearing goggles so it feels your only in the drone.
You can build a ground station with vrx and a monitor...and no goggles at all...basically what u made your goggles be. But a ground station can be setup with better antennas because it's not on yiur head
If you haven't figured it out by now the setting preventing you from taking of until it gets its fix is in the failsafe tab. Im unure of what happens if you turn on gps rescue with out setting a home location. Its probaby not good though... i should turn that off.
The MSP connection is active arming error shows up whenever you are connected in betaflight so id say it would be the same for the speedybee app. Its so you don't accidentally arm it on the bench. The beeping is because of inactivity and kicks in after a certain amount of time. Not sure why it would not arm tho, also tips for getting a quicker gps fix, have the gps mounted as far as possible from the vtx antenna with nothing above it and also if you shield the gps wires by wrapping them with aluminium or copper tape it also helps. Cold starts on gps always take a while tho.
Why do u run your gps at the wrong angle? Airomatics? Looks better that way for sure but probably not function as good? Lol i like the screen man! Also dont we have beta 4.5 now?
Sat lock is normal. Because your feed is HD, the vtx overheats quickly.
Some GPSes have regional satellite track data that speed up gaining lock. Not sure if you can get that in a drone or not.
For turtle you have to disarm and re arm weird.
14:30 the beeping just is a little heads up that it's turned on and didn't do anything in a X amount of time as you said you where waiting for several minutes to gather more GPS satellites this would be the reason😅
I keep probly 20 sets of props in my pack...and spare everything with a battery powered soldering iron and backup goggles and vtx or Vista....getting day cut short is worst so now prepared at all times
Put in a vtx power switch to be able to kill vtx power with radio.....or put pit node on in betaflight so u don't need vtx fan
i have some suggestions.. buy an m10 gps which are much faster to lock on and before you reflash an fc i would export the config so it it much faster to reconfigure.. another suggestion is try the supa fpv preset for the 5" which is amazing, it made a huge difference on my quad.. also i would lock the crossfire and not have it at variable output..
Wonder if you can fpv off the tesla screen
That monitor and the Walksnail vrx.
Hell yeah
Also make sure low power mode is off when armed. I have the V1 fatshark Walksnail goggles and just a hill wouldn't make it lose connection on 700mw.
Truerc stubbies on goggles and Lollipop 4+ on the quads.
When o fly with my buddies that have dji around buildings/office parks/bando's they will be on 1200 and I'm fine on 500 to 700mw doing the same range.going inside buildings? I don't know as we go one at a time mostly and don't really compare mw's etc if it just works at that spot for us personally.
Definitely get a m10. I get 32 sats every time. Around 10 in 30 seconds.
Great video, dude!! Any chance you can link the monitor or tell us where you picked it up? Cheers! 🫡
Yep! I've updated the description now for you :)
@@GogglesOFF legend!! 🙌🏻🙏
Great video 🙏just gave you a sub😊 yep flying off a screen like you were in oz is legal but goggles are not unless you have a spotter, its a stupid rule if you ask me.
Your gps needs to be pointing straight up. Its angled the wrong direction. It needs to be pointing straight up in flight, which is why you see them pointed downward almost akwardly. You can change the amount of satellites required to arm in the failafe tab. Thats why it wouldnt arm
On one hand poor video quality due to bad lighting, on the other at least you could see what's happening on the screen. I would worry about it on a sunny day, even from the car. Perhaps there are some filters for the screen? Anti polarization or something, so the sunlight isn't reflected.
Or you can go full renegade and add some blinders for the car.
🤔 Get more FPV Freestyle in ya... goggles on...😚
I like the idea.. but 350 nits is not very bright for outside use. You want 1200+ at least.. I have a 700 nit monitor for video work and its impossible to see much of anything in sunlight. With a hood over 3 sides. You can find 7" 2000 nit monitors for video work and even those are not bright enough in some situations.. they work but you still cant see a lot of detail for high end video work without hood and looking closely at it. If you can find a shady spot, 350 may work but 700+ would be better for FPV stuff. I'd still wager for FPV racing it's not enough detail for good racing stats but for just flying around it may be. Also.. the monitor you link is no longer available.
What monitor is this?
I've updated the description with a link. Sorry about that!
You would get allot more range with DJI 03 or even with the Vista and as of today the DJI goggles 2 are $200. Off much better system....
I have this same setup 😂😂
fails save is was on right
DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR DRONE ON THE WORKBENCH WITH PROPS ON. You might think it wont happen to you but so has everyone that has had one of these things coming to life and putting a hole in you your monitor or roof. It happens so fast and you will not know its happening until its almost over. FYI
You mean USB or battery?
He means: be careful with setting it up with props on. Because if they come alive, there is almost nothing you can do about it except for waiting and hiding until it's over. They will do it just the moment you least expect it. That's the nature of such accidents.
I always use my monitor for my whoops
If you're going to update your BetaFlight, they have V5.0 out now.
You would do a CLI Dump or DIFF, before updating and then you can re-apply all those settings once you have it updated and setup enough..
