Been flying this little guy for a few days. It really opens up new places to fly. It's so quiet and small, people don't really notice. No wonder these little whoops are so popular!

If you want to enter your account with an interest (for example FPV ;) ) in the fediverse directory at fediverse.info, it's quite easy. This makes it easier to find accounts with the same interest and continues to grow the FPV community in the Fediverse.

  1. In your account, add #fpv and # fedi22 under Bio.
  2. Wait 15 minutes
  3. Open https://fediverse.info/explore/people
  4. Click on [Add Account]
  5. Enter your account url or webfinger address like https://pixelfed.de/stickbro or @[email protected]

Using twin VAS Pepper boxes to look my coolest. I hope to do some mountain dives when the weather gets more ideal.

So far, I've only tested these at my work inside a metal building seeing how many walls it will go through. There's a big difference between the stock antennas and these.

What are your set ups?

hey everyone, I picked up a goggles x headset last year and have been itching to get a tinywhoop, but they're all analog. What have people been doing to solve this same problem?

One of the reasons I initially bought the goggles x was for all the A/V in/out options it seemed to have. But having puzzled over it for a while it doesn't seem to handle analogs modules nearly as neatly as the hd0 headset or really many of the options out there.

What do you think is the least kludgy way to add analog capabilities to my goggles x?

P.S. also while we're here, I impulsively picked up the speedybee analog receiver and I'd love to hear people's experiences with that too.

My 7" freestyle. TBS source one V3. T motor F90 running on 6s.

I don't have a 3D printer, but I have a wood shop, so I carved a mount for my analog adapter board + TBS Fusion to clip onto my Walksnail Goggles X strap. Works well so far!

It would have been easier to drill the holes for the side where the cords plug in before cutting out the interior. I ended up finishing the profile with a jigsaw, just going very slowly to avoid splitting off the side.

I used a scrap left over from turning a piece of birch.

I have a Meteor 65 and 75 with SPI ELRS. This happened to both within a couple of months, wondering if anyone knows what is going on?

  • I was flying around normally having fun
  • I stopped to change batteries
  • Put the new battery in and it only does the first 3 beeps
  • There is no signal on the goggles
  • Plug the flight controller into Betaflight and the VTX (I think) starts smoking

The first time this happened, I cleaned everything up and it started working again but with very poor VTX signal. So I replaced the VTX and shortly after the accelerometer or gyro went out forcing me to replace the flight controller.

Now this just happened again on a different Meteor and before I go through the same steps as last time I'm wondering if anyone has some advice. Thanks.

I've been thinking for a long time about how a functioning FPV community could be created in Fediverse. What would be the right platform for you? How do you get people to overcome the registration hurdle and what is the best way to explain how Fediverse works? I would like to collect a few thoughts here.

#OpenIPC - digital opensource long-range #FPV transmission

#latency seems to be even higher than with DJI/Walksnail/HDZero

So that's clearly not ready. But still, I'd really like to have some open standard! Some good alternative to analoge NTSC/PAL-Video at last?
