Soup bois. I'm wanting to build my first drone (I'm a nerd and like tinkering, and after watching several build videos it looks doable for me) and was wondering if there was a decent combo of a controller and headset, or if those were something I'd have to buy separately? Can I more or less get any controller or headset and it/they would work with the drone I put together, or is there some protocol or whatever that I need to match between controller/headset and drone? Thankee

@h.w.m.306 Ай бұрын

no offence but if you don't know the differences between the Vtxs and Rtxs available maybe keep researching. Headsets aren't linked to the controller (the transmitter) at all. they're dependent on the camera thats used. Most of them and the more affordable one is analogue. Any headset is likely to work with any camera used, just use the same band. Controller wise, just get a controller set that has a Rtx with is so you don't mix it up. that way you can just buy a the same Rtx for any new drones you want to build after. Digital headsets and cameras are very expensive and DJI is the main company selling them, upside is you get much better video quality from the onboard camera but if you're going to use a gopro then theres no point imo. When hooking it all up, use the manual on your ESC and flight controller board to make sure its all wired up correctly

I'm waiting for my replacement from Amazon to arrive today, had this drone for about 2 weeks then outta nowhere, it'll fly great for a minute or two, then descend to about two inches off the ground, and will not fly any higher than that?? 😑 Super bummed, I did the recalibration for the drone, made sure batteries were good and fully charged. It has plenty of power, not getting the low vol signal in the goggles or anything, just won't fly higher than a couple inches off the ground, maybe it could be fixed, in fact I'm sure it could, but I just bought this thing and paid good money for it, I shouldn't have to "Fix" anything this early on, so I ordered a replacement, if it happens again with this one, I'll probably go for the Cetus X brushless instead, same price as this kit, can use multiple brand batteries, not like the proprietor battery that works with the Aquila 16, and you get the radio lite 3 with the Cetus X, with the Aquila 16 you get radio lite 2, I'm not even sure what any of that means, I'm brand new to this stuff, but I do know what I like and what I don't like, and i definitely don't like having to wait for another drone to arrive because the one i already have won't work 2 weeks after i got it..😑 All in all tho, great drone, I'm hoping I just got a lemon with the last one and the one coming today will last me for a very long time, I'm ready to get some FPV flying in, hopefully the Amazon truck gets here soon, it's already after 7am 😂

@kukichkukichkin1077 5 ай бұрын

I would add the following: the Aquila16 copter is designed only for the BETAFPV Configurator and for the remote controller that comes in the kit, which means that if someone has another remote controller with ELRS, then you won’t be able to customize the copter for yourself in Betaflight and therefore not all modes will work . There is no boozer, the search for a copter is in question. For an apartment, you can’t turn off the air mode, it will stick to the walls and fall where you will disarm it in order to unstuck. There is also regular self-disarming, i.e. turns off whenever it wants. The quality of the fpv camera sucks even for an analogue one. The battery is detached when the copter falls or hits an obstacle. The design is beautiful, but the quality is slag. If to buy it then only as a kit, why would I need the kit if I have good glasses and RC. I just bought a copter and got these unexpected troubles. I don’t see the point in paying such money for that kit.
