5+ years in the hobby, still find stuff to learn. Thanks JB

Currently fighting with my VTX. This video has helped me understand a bunch of things. Thanks.

The presets tab really makes setting up vtx tables alot more simple.

Joshua, you are amazing. After watching your videos, I've progressed from "No way, in hell..." to "I think I can I think I can..." to fully on, "here, take my money, I'm buying a Quad!!" Still saving my pennies, but will definitely use your links (and send you some cash) when I'm ready to take the plunge. Thank you!!

Dear Joshua, i want you to know that i always push the LIKE button before i watch your videos, yes they are that good. love from Israel.

Just in time for my new tinywhoop. Merci Joshua! :)

I’m running all DJI but I will watch anyway just to help you since you help us so much. Thanks for all the info man. 🤘🏼

When using low power disarm = on, when you arm in turttle mode (flip over after crash mode) the vtx will power up to the selected power setting. So if you crash far away, disarm and loose video, just put it in turttle mode and arm it and you will get video back without spinning the props. So this also means if your armed in turttle mode and have a high vtx power selected then the vtx will start getting hot the longer its armed, so limet the amount of time your armed in turttle mode.

Thanks JB for the Video Transmitter Tab.. 👍😊 next..

Mr. Bardwell... you are the best sir! thank you Joshua for all these BRILLIANT content. I am a beginner with a PAVO 30 and was getting NUTS because it had like a 3 ft range... turns out that the VTX (betafpv M02) has a tiny little button where you can turn on/off the Pitmode and does not shows in BetaFlight... thanks to you I could fix it! definitly new sub!

Low power disarm combines well with crash flip/arm

Thank you Joshua!🙏💪

We already know most of the stuff in these series from older content, but I still learn a lot about some details in this series! Great stuff! Wish someone did this as elaborate for inav as well

Josh, many thanks for all your great videos. I learned a lot from them about drones, their construction and configuration. I have one note regarding the VTX configuration video. I had a problem myself to properly configure the Rush Tank Ulimate II (it did not want to change the channels and transmitter power using the BF settings - it could only be done using the buttons). Well, the bug is included in the Tanks BF 4.3 Presets. The power levels are listed there according to Smartaudio Protocol 2.1, which standard does not work properly with the receiver at all. It has the values 14, 23, 27, 29 which is wrong and therefore Smartaudio does not work! The power level values must be set as for you, ie: 0, 1, 2, 3 (Smartaudio Protocol 2.0) and then EVERYTHING works properly. It took me a long time to figure it out, so I tell other beginners to do just that.

Excellent Video! Mahalos Josh, KB Hawaii

Oh gosh wish I found your videos before I played with Betaflight on my Tiny Hawk 3- now following other people advice who really know nothing I now have Tiny Hawk called prop wash? my hawk wobbles in flight- just that one thing you taught me in early videos to back up- anyone out there please follow Joshua advice to backup first. Again thank you for your great videos

Nice

Thank you sir ill have to get a new port. 😮

I wish we could display the horizon lines and things like that with caddx/dji v2 goggles. Maybe if you have a chance you can view a minute of my last video Mr. JB. I took my 5 inch X Titan and did what you said after upgrading to 4.3 Honestly I love how it performs compared to before...so thanks you so much for putting out simple little videos for the simpletons like me. One day I'll move up so thanks so much for the help so far.

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks JB, Love Ur content.... But this Qaud looks Nice, maybe u can give us a list of used Parts

One advice: github has a "raw" button to show a file as a webpage, without the github layout, just the file. You can then use ctrl+a to select the whole page and use ctrl+c to copy the contents without all the line numbers or other stuff that github usually shows ;)

Wow I'm early! Nice

Regarding PIT mode, just yesterday I spent a few hours playing with it on my Mobula 6. I had a reverse problem, the PIT mode wouldn't turn off. Turns out on the Mobula VTX you can't toggle pit mode from the configurator. I had to use the OSD and go to FEATURES>VTX>CONFIG>OP MODEL and here you can choose RACE or FREE mode. Race is PIT mode on startup (until first arm), free is no PIT mode. After selecting race mode you also need to choose PIT mode type (PIR or POR) and then after saving reboot the FC and VTX

From what ive delt with all the numbers are the same accross vtx just depends on what bands it uses. Most now days use all of them.

I fly DJI.. but I still watched it all. Even though I know it from my old days with anolog 😂

@ 19:20 LMFAO 🤣

Thank you, I'm gonna learn something this minute. Binge watching this series, now I open beta flight smiling, know where to go and what buttons to push and NOT to push. But my presets tab is empty? No presets, did you mention how to load these? Thanks

Dude, your videos have been so helpfull to me. Forget patreon, I want to pay your damned mortgage at this point lol.

OK, I have a DJI VTX (but I kept watching, you're welcome :) and I am pleased I did. the Low Power Disarm, On until first arm. (It's late here in the UK and I am off to bed, so I will have to play with it tomorrow) but will that still work with my Caddx Vista ? I hate it when I am going to crash and I Disarm, and the Goggles stop recording. And I don't get to watch my crash 🤕

Hey I just bought a pavo pico drone with a o3 air unit and I have DJI fpv remote v2 and I connected the remote and goggles to the o3 but can not get my remote to show up in beta flight and can’t fly is there anything you can do to help me?

Interesting thing about pit mode not working on some vtx's, I had betaflight 4.2 with pit mode working after power up, but after updating to 4.3 and migrating settings, it doesn't work anymore. Everything else works as it did in 4.2 except pit mode

What is that hand held video receiver display at 6:33? With that device you can check video vtx output without having to use goggles.

These are great videos JB!! Question for you gurus. I have a Speedybee TX800 VTX that runs on 5V. This is my first build and put it on the FC 9V pad. Did I fry my VTX? I never saw, heard, or smelled anything but my VTX light doesn't come on and Betaflight has Device Ready = No. I do have my 4S battery plugged and checked the pad output with multimeter at 5V. Smokestopper has always been green. Thanks!

I have a vtx that is supposed to go to 400mW but only goes to 200mW. Do I get the full 400 by adding another power level? It has three levels 0 1 2 as 25 100 200. So do I make it 4 levels to get to 400?

Why might mine choose the correct power channel band with the right vtx table in but still says device ready no even when plugged in? Osd in goggles shows weird values not the channel it is actually on

When I hook my Tiny Hawk S up to BF, there is NO VTX tab, period! I did install a TBS Unify Pro Nano VTX using the same connections that the OEM VTX had that I had removed. I also have now added ELRS into the mix and have been flying with that but I messed up in BF trying to get my goggles to show RSSI with SA but the "Yaw left Pitch forward" menus only show configs for Tramp. I try to do it for SA but nothing selects even though is a TBS VTX. Just a bunch of xxx and ___ without words. Crazy. Any help or link for me? Thanks.

Hy jb.. i have openvtx ovx300 when iam using bf 4.3 or above i seen the smartaudio undefined. But if iam using bf 4.2 i seen smartaudio. Its normal. All seting with same vtx table. I never seen post like that when i try to searching openvt undefined. Iam gratefull if u have solution. Thanks

Video transmitter tab not showing in betaflight for my tinyhawk 2. Any help please

Very helpful series so far ,thanks a lot. off topic for this video I know, in my narrow, humble view Betaflight in 4.3 (i'm at rc6) didn't make a great job when it comes to pid sliders and filters. to me it completely ruined what I was at least able to achieve in previous versions, no use to add a lot of stuff if it brings such lots of misery. one example, you got a barely 1 - 1.5 y old quad, say your fc dies, you replace it with an identical one, you flash it to 4.3 rc6 but all you got from manufacturer (or your backup) file with the best tunes for this quad but it's still in 4.2, after firmware flash you go to cli, execute the file, it doesn't even swallow the pids, aou need to disable their s***** sliders and re execute and it will swallow most of it, the pids etc but even then you still 52 lines it doesn't take, errors mostly that it doesn't know the variable name and those are all about f****** filters. After that can't reactivate filters, it's a mess. The compatibility tool for migration, I know about it, gave it a shot, but ain't nobody got time for that who has a life. Tried my best to make a head and tail out of the lines it didn't take and try to input them manually (those I found) in the bf gui, but rekon7 then had vibrating motors, getting hot, unflyable, dangerous annoying as hell, almost killed my motors and esc, got bored with it, returned to 4.2 flashed my backup and everything's fine with the quad now, honestly bf I could do and say things to them I'd rather not mention.

Hey everyone, I've got a problem I could use some advice for. I finally got my drone all put together, and I went to plug it in to betaflight and it did the normal 3 and then the 1 beep, but after that it started repeating these 3 tones over and over and it wasn't showing up on my computer either. I looked on a program that shows all USB devices, and it shows up for a second, but then it goes away. Can anyone help me with this?

What about Walksnail? Is this supported?

Good info with great detail. I just wonder since 4.3.0 is pre-release how much of this will change when 4.3.0 is released? I've been testing 4.3 on 2 of my quads for several RCs now and I haven't had any issues. Overall I'm liking 4.3 so far but I'm finding that the 10.8 configurator(s) are kind of unstable. Then again, this is pre-release software.

JB, the Darwin 129 came with a VTX table on Betaflight but I think it’s stuck on 25 Mw, how can I tell if the other powers 200/600/800 that show on the OSD really Work? 🙏

JOSH- This guy Johnny Wild at FPV WINGS is trying to claim your RDQ TX16S Max edition as his own. Never heard of "Johnny Wild"

Regarding the vtx table, couldn't all vtx use the same table and just have factory unchecked for all the bands? then you would just have to enter the power levels it would seem to me.

Can u show how to setup a switch to control the caddx peanut to the emax babyhawk 2 HD with DJI stuff

How does turtle mode arming work with low power disarm? Lets say I crash way out in a field, in some tall grass. I don't want to be armed because that spins the motors and they may burn out (would idle speed spinning burn out motors? I don't even know). So I disarm and the quad drops to 25 mw and I lose my video. What happens if I turn on turtle mode and then arm again? Would it jump back up? I worry about this because a hot vtx could start fires in places like california pretty easily. If it is going to take me awhile to get to my quad and I am in a dry grass field I would be really scared of starting a fire under those circumstances but it would be nice to be able to pop the power back up intermittently. Kind of a dumb question I suppose. probably just better to put max power and min power on a switch somewhere, but with a turnigy evolution there were not that many switch options.

do i have to find the vtx table that must correspond exactly the vtx im using, or can i just use smart audio as the one im using supports smart audio???

is the caddx nebula pro vista a dji vtx or is this video important for me?

I always thought that there were just three VTX tables smart audio, smart audio 2 and IRC tramp.

Am I early?

@7:20 "It intuitively makes sense if you used transmitters before." I've not, what do they mean to us whom have not used them before?

Hi,I have a weird problem with my quad. When i spin the motors in Betaflight all is fine, but when i arm them the start twitching veryhard and get hot. For me it seems like a pid proplem cause when i remove the fc and hold it in hand the problem is away and the motors spin rather smooth. I checked the motor orientation as spin direction multiple times such as the fc board orientation. I reflashed the firmware a few times. I even set the PID variables to 0 but nothing. I hope someone can help me. I think its just some dumb mistake

why do we bother with multi-band vtxs anymore? its such a hassle and complicates any button/led interface. i never use a band other than Raceband, so only having buttons for power and channel would make it a lot easier to design and use.

You missed out your great clip on changing VTX on switch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5ePiJWnldGlmps.html in this segment!!

Pitmode and tables, the whole VTX thing with betaflight is a mess. This reason alone is worth DJI. There's no mixing and matching and downloading and hold button for 3second and count the flashes.

Dude, stop saying "The VTX table is complicated". Its not, and you're brainwashing people into being scared of it. What on earth is difficult about a table?
