@RADERFPV 3 жыл бұрын

@@synkopa Why does everyone keep talking about the latency still? I went from flying with fatsharks for almost 3 years, and now the DJI stuff for the past month - the only latency is the number you see in the goggles, there isn't any thats noticable, and based on RC Shims latest tests, the actual difference is about 5ms, when using top of the line fatshark hdo2's with rapidfire, and ratel camera. If your analog gear is inferior to that, the latency ends up being more than digital. People forget that analog has latency too, you just don't have the ability to see it in your goggles, so nobody mentions it. Anyone that says they can feel the difference is full of it, or is finding some reason that doesn't exist to hate it. I've been hating on the DJI stuff for over a year, but now that I fly it, I can't ever go back to analog. Don't try it unless you can afford it, thats my advice to everyone. Analog is just fine, and I suggest folks stick with it until the price goes down and DJI has some competition.

I don't know if it was just a thing in german fpv forums, but back in 2013 or 2014, some people were building camera mounts that could tilt up and down with a servo! They first tried using it as some sort of a built-in gimbal, but quickly found out that they then don't see how the quad is pitched. So they just changed it so that they can adjust it with the transmitter. So they could turn the camera up to go faster and then turn it downwards for an easy landing. That mini-trend died pretty quickly though, as it used a lot of space and weight on the quad and you couldn't just buy it, you had to build it all yourself.

Lmfao all that for “easy landing”🤡 People will never stop to amaze me. Spend 20h in a SIM just landing on 30” angle or whatever your is and get better at the actual flying rather than wasting the same amount of time to build a short cut and still be 💩 without an ability to even land. that is literally pathetic. What type of PILOT you are if you need a helping wheels🤡 These people need to get a grip and grow up.

I worked on F-14's in the Navy. The engines in that plane weren't soft mounted, but the IMU (Inertial Measuring Unit / gyro) was soft mounted...... that's definitely the way to go.

@user-zi8jn1go8k Жыл бұрын

The thing is, soft-mounting needs some mass to be effective. Some things don't scale linearly, the mass goes down with size^3 so while it's fine to soft-mount the big & heavy IMU of a fighter jet but on a drone the flight controller might just not have enough mass on its own to be effectively soft-mounted. Not saying soft-mounted motors are the solution, but there is some justification to it.

My first quad was one that I built myself and I still have it, then 3d printing got thrown into the mix, and I was already building my own computers so I have a pretty awesome PC for running drone simulations... Its fun but anyone that says its an easy hobby to get into is a liar, because you have to have knowledge of many different sub-hobbies it can be pretty frustrating. Money can be an issue under this load of hobbies too obviously... I would love to be able to meet the rotor riot team and fly with them... I live my life in constant pain but when I fly its the only time I feel nothing at all, but the exhilarating sensation of flight that I dreamed of when I was a young child and im also a recovering addict so I hope this is never taken away from me...

I recently re-entered the hobby after a few years (had kids, didn't have time to tinker with FPV). I resurrected my old QAV250 and it literally had some of these trends! It has the slots on the top plate to angle a board camera (but I use a camera mount), it has a PDB board as a bottom plate (seems to be fairly durable though after many crashes) and I just removed the camera couch for my old Hero3 Black because that camera died and I bought a runcam 5 so I now have a new 3D printed mount for it. I also toned down the camera angle. Back in the day I remember super-high camera angles as being "the thing" but now it seems like around 20 degrees is more reasonable. I still have some of those glass fibre props so I'm going to use those up (probably in a flight or two) and then replace them with modern more durable props. I'd love to upgrade the VTX and goggles to digital but it's so expensive! My FatSharks do suck and my FPV camera is worse but they work. I'll replace them when they break.

After 2, each extra blade experiences diminishing returns, theyre spinning in the slipstream of eachother. The sweet spot is between 2 and 4 i think. (For quad size props, different craft that are larger or smaller have different sweet spots. 3d fpv needs the same camera width as your eyes to see proper depth of field. Its doable on larger quads but smaller ones its a nightmare to set up. You can do it with optics too, mirrors and a small tube to the ends of the front motor mounts, but its not really worth the complexity. One trend that needs to come back is collective pitch quads. They have so much potential and they haven't been done much at ALL.

Here are a few more FPV trends that died (or are dying): - Mounting ESCs to arms (most racers are going 4-in-1) - Running 3S on 5" racing/freestyle (4S is also dying but still popular) - Linear VTx polarization - LED controller boards - Bullet connectors on motor wires

"Analog needs to die" @LeDrib @RotorRiot, maybe when digital has an option as cheap as a good set of box goggles ($80 - $100). Things are getting cheaper, so maybe sometime in the next year.

@r00kiet80 3 жыл бұрын

So u want digital in a box with a terrible screen and trash receiver? As long as high end analog is more expensive then digital i see no point in cutting the price even more

@ChrisGripeos 3 жыл бұрын

@@r00kiet80 The receiver wont be bad because it will be a digital receiver. The screen wont be bad because it's a big HD screen (analog example is the FatShark Scouts and Recons, they are pretty nice to look at). What will make it cheaper is not needing expensive focals/optics and all the stuff that's needed for them. You can also take out all HDMI in/out electronics. You can probably shave off $100 by having a Box HD solution.

It has more delay by like 10-15ms but thats not the problem biggest problem is that its variable delay so it changes delay if u have a worse signal its only by like 5-10ms but racers notice it so ita bad for racers now racers are 1% of the community so everyone is better off with digital tbh unless ur on a budget high end analog is litteral waste of money UNLESS ur a top100 pro pilot
