    Is the 1w setting dynamic or full time 1w?

    • @scottgivens27
      @scottgivens27  4 роки тому +4

      Hyprmtr as far as I know, you need to change the output manually. It does not move from low to high mw when it detects signal strength is low. At least not in the micro TX V2. When I'm at a park, I stay at 250mw which is plenty to go through and behind trees. The park I fly it's very big.
      Be cautious if you have the Radiomaster TX16 and run 500mw on a 3000mah 2s pack. It drains battery in your transmitter FAST! Once the radio master goes under 7.9volts, crossfire won't arm the quad and your motors won't spin. So bring/buy spare batteries for your transmitter if 6 plan on getting a full day with 500mw or 1watt

    Have you had any solid white light overheating warning on 1w with the micro v2? I slammed my cidora sl5 into the ground today because of it mid flight on 1w. Never actually had a fail safe just the module throwing itself into some cutoff mode to keep it from burning itself up. I'm pretty disappointed about the 1w overheating but on 500mw its fine

    • @scottgivens27

      LF Records Good Morning LF Records. You're knowledge of the subject is WELL above mine.

Or dji remote or ghost?? Allot of options.. but I really love my x-lite.. but already built 6 birds. All have xsr .. gets pretty good range. But as you know dji goes allot farther.

      Sleeping Bear honestly, I can’t tell you which one to get as they all have their place and everyone has different preferences.
      For me, the $69 dollar Micro TX V2 is all I’ll need for FPV flying. At 1Watt you will be able to go further than your VTX or DJI goggles in my experiences.
      I LOVE the Radiomaster T16. You can bind to anything. Setup is simple, and the sticks are solid.
      I won’t get into a discussion over something I don’t have, like the Ghost system as I’m not qualified to provide honest feedback.
      I can tell you that I will only use (for me) TBS Crossfire receivers for the range and reliability. I have a few friends waiting on their ghost units to arrive. I will share their experiences when they receive them

      @@jackoneill8585 well Jack, city flying versus long range flying are two completely different styles of flying right?
      Long range should ALWAYS be done in a legally safe environment away from homes WiFi and people. Anyone crazy enough these days to post a video Flying even a few blocks over houses is not responsible and could get a visit from our friends. I’ve done plenty of test in areas you described and learned from last videos NOT do it.
      Now the type of city flying you describe is for penetration around structures and interference. Barely anyone can have successful long range in those conditions, because those conditions are constantly challenging. Depending on what time of day you fly, inferences will change. Very early in the morning you’ll get more penetration in busy areas where people are sleeping and less electronics are being used. In the afternoon when everyone’s up, interference is spotty and where you were able to fly a few hours ago, drops your quad the next.
      In addition, you can have an area where you had great penetration and range, become a horrible place to fly due to new home development and the addition of WiFi users and more interference.
      So no, I would never want to try a futile long range attempt in those ever changing nonstable conditions.
      We fly parking garages, trees, and bandos, but those are not areas to test range. We’re focused on penetration to have fun nearby. Long range testing is almost always done in these types of areas where you see me flying, so that people know what the possibilities are in near perfect conditions. The further out you can fly, the more confidence you can have flying local areas as you described with better penetration.
      Plus, we both know, flying long range in the city is zero fun! 😂 I would rather have a ton of obstacles to fly around, and get as much footage before breaking my quads! 😁👍🏾. God Bless
