According to the rules of FPV, having a rear facing camera is CHEATING, apparently. So today we experiment with cheating!

Ohhhh ohh oh. Fond memories of PlayUAV Osd -- that's an independent OSD from the time before OSDs were integrated into the FC and it had two camera inputs, so I'd use one for the fpv cam and the other for the Gopro-clone-on-a-gimbal tv output. It's still a badass OSD, really recommended, much better than all the minimosd derived current OSDs. It can draw graphics like maps, radar screen type of thing and what not, imagine running through a quad racing circuit and seeing where you are on the circuit like in the old car racing video games.

I have built a quad with a sp racing f3 and a flysky receiver. I ve a issue with the throttle response: when I arm, motors begin spinning at the minthrottle (that s correct) but, as soon as I raise and lower the stick throttle, it doesn't respond Everything looks ok because, in the receiver section, when I raise the throttle, it respond correctly... I ve also manual control of the motors and I am not in turtle mode... could you help me with this issue?

Something else you could do so you knew whether you are flying front camera or back camera instead of using the momentary switch is turn on the back camera's on screen display if it has one and do the name as back That way every time you switch to the back camera you will see it says back on your display

@dividingbyzerofpv6748 5 жыл бұрын

@@funKdatFPV there was a Reddit post for how to do betaflight setup for the I/O control of an available pin out. But if you are using a Crossfire Nano, you have those other outputs. So if you have Grd/Pwr/ch1/ch2 all lined up you set your Ch1 and Ch 2 to ouput CRSF TX/RX as normal. But you can run another wire to the CH3 pin of the Nano. That you can assign to put out on whatever channel you want, so my CH3 of my nano outputs like Ch6 that goes with my channel inverting on the radio. When I brought in a 2nd switch for my 3D builds(for up to 3 cams) I used CH4 of the nano and had it set to output CH7. So on my transmitter, CH 6 and CH7 are purely for inverting the required channels on the radio and they also trigger the Bicks Multiview Duo video switches. I can also tell you that Bicks has a Trio switch coming out which will likely work with a 3 channel switch. I personally like having seperate switches due to fine motor control versus gross motore control regarding muscle control under stress. I have a 27min "Under The Hood" video on my youtube page. Describes some of my thoughts and why I did things the way I did. /edit Bardwell has a video on his build and radio setup.

i've been looking at mountinga split 2 on a head tracker unit , initially i was thinking it might be fun, but since i fly a split and an fpv cam it would be cool to maybe set split using head tracker then switch back to fpv cam to fly the line, idea came when i wanted a shot looking straight up through the branches but i just couldnt pull it off as far as skill goes. i wish somebody else would do it first... maybe a fun episode to try flying with a head tracker on a quad.

when you switch the camera does the FC also switch and your forward on your transmitter still the same or you have to fly it with reverse on transmitter in mind?

@dividingbyzerofpv6748 5 жыл бұрын

Always as if you are flying normal and forwards... hence cheating. When you switch from front to back it is also inverting your pitch and roll on your controller. So basically you are just remapping what is the new "front" for the drone. But the gopro perspective is now totally different. Works for 3D and using 3Cams as well which means switching to the inverted cam when in 3D mode redefines upright. Now you can shoot gaps upside down and backwards.
