Glow in the dark spraypaint can fix that

spooky vision

someone should do a Pbluefalcon-style hydro dip on it. glowing camo would be cool

​@@mikaelhegerstroem6172 I miss that guy, I'm actually building a quad right now using a Hellbender 204 baseplate.

Broooo! 🤣

Joshua Young lol this comment made my day! Also, shrimp nachos sound delicious.

@@JonE5FPV Potato skins or mozzarella sticks for me... so now ANOTHER thing to spend my money on... ugh...

@@JonE5FPV Well, hit me up if you want to out-nerd Bardwell on a video... it's possible.

Saw your vid first! :) came here from there!!

How do you not like crossfire? 🤔

I didn’t like the R9M but really like crossfire, just wish I went straight to crossfire and didn’t waste my time on the R9 stuff.

I have never had a issue with r9? Not sure why people are so against specifically the last 2 years where software has matured. Range is just as good as crossfire.

Ian Laing If it’s working for you that’s great, I just didn’t have a great experience with it. I was happy with the R9M (non ACCESS) when I first got it, range was fine and I bought 4 more mini receivers so I could start changing my quads over from 2.4ghz but about a month later I started getting weird little random twitches, so infrequently at first that I didn’t even suspect the R9M and was chasing my tail checking ESCs etc. but it seemed to get worse over time and was happening with all of the R9 receivers and it didn’t matter which quad I tried them on, which firmware etc I would get these random twitches every now and then, kind of like you just clipped some scraggle but for no reason. I tried the module on dynamic power and the quad would become almost uncontrollable for a couple seconds each time the power level changed so something weird was going on and on fixed power the twitching was happening at least a couple times every flight. I switched several of my quads to crossfire but still had the R9 on one of my quads until recently and all of a sudden I couldn’t go more than about 20 meters without RSSI getting critical. Now the module will power up but shutdown within about 10 seconds even if I use external power, Ive opened it up and there’s no obvious damaged components, I think maybe something started failing early on and caused the problems I was having although I have heard other people mention the twitching thing using the R9M so maybe that’s a seperate issue. Anyway sorry about the long reply, I wanted to like the R9M because I didn’t want to do the inverter mod on my QX7. It’s possible I damaged my module by powering it up without an antenna or something, maybe the newer ACCESS R9M is better?

@@MUNKYFPV I bought an R9M Lite Pro with an R9MM reciever and never had any problem with it. It was cheap, easy to setup and no failsafe ever since

Just a heads up the ham license (at least in Europe) don't cover drone vtx out put

@@noname-wo9yy USA here

semtech? Is that whos making the lora stuff

Flysky FRM302 uses the same LoRa tech and it's been out a couple of months now 😴

@@SpaghettiHands Yes, but LoRa tech is not the Flysky or ImmersionRC invention, it's protocol developed by Semtech company. The Radio Control system is what they innovate. According to the papers ImmersionRC system is way better (at least to my opinion).

I can't tell if this is sarcasm

@@jpsalis not sarcasm just a musing, check painless360 video Aug 7th re FLYSKY 2.4ghz long range

There's also an open source lora based radio system that can be flashed to r9 systems. Also works on 900 and 2.4ghz. There are lots of products based on lora out there.

They are at like 2w output power right? And even with that extra output power they will get similar range. It’s not lora, pretty sure it’s just amplified normal flysky

Never mind! It’s lora

How? It was never released. Maybe you're thinking of the Power Meter video which was filmed the same day.

Ahh yeah thats what I meant, just had the same setup and everything so it looked quite familiar. I remember more from that power meter interview than I thought lol

I believe qx7 still requires mod for high speed link.

Joshua Bardwell oh. I saw tony with a qx7s, so I was hopeful that IRC got some magic working on.

Michi P big fan ;)

They both use LoRa i think, so yes.

Range is actually more like 5km

@@peterzingler6221 I havent seen any range tests yet. I only read the description @Banggood. However it has 2W and should go further than Ghost.

@@ZeroFPV It needs external power for that output, on the internal (controller) power it is limited to 350mw

It is the same technology, yes

Should be really comparable, which sounds crazy, but having more bandwidth, and using spreading codes that allows you to use more of that bandwidth for rapid low-bitrate payload data (i.e. RC controls), honestly both will outperform analog video, and honestly will outperform the awesome rake receiver digital video

To be fair the bit rate required for a control link is far less then the video feed, so if it drops out just after the video it's still fine

Yeah I was a die hard raping fire user till tbs upped its game with the v2 of the fusion

2.4ghz penetration should be better than the 5.8ghz video link you are also using on those bando runs

@@chrisconner8629 "Yeah I was a die hard raping fire user... " Rather unfortunate autocorrect there.

Rapid. Omg
