I just got my first drone, and I'm loving it!

Good morning,

I bough a Flywoo Explorer LR 4 with the dji 4 pro, the N3 dji goggles and the RadioMaster Pocket controller.

The main problem is that when the drone is at 100 meters or something more, I lose the control of the drone, this thing happens when I did the unpack and the configuration of the drone (a month ago). Today, I lost conection at 10 meters or less. Could somebody help me?

Thank you!

Following some video I watched and reports regarding props getting worn out and getting the drone bust I would like to buy few sets of these. I saw them literally everywhere, Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress.

Is there any difference between the sellers except the price? Where are they even getting so many of these props from and are they all original as they claim?

I'm using an Emax ECOII-2807-1300kv bldc with this 80A ESC. At higher throttle percentages (70%+), it produces this weird whirring sound. Is it normal, or did I mess up my ESC calibration.

Go to the park and try out some different equipment.

I didn't saw the tall trees in the cliff.

Running this on 3S. Anyone had issues with this combo, or is it solid? Want to confirm before I solder everything up. Thanks!

So, I have a Parrot Bebop 2 (I know, older drone, but very capable), but the batteries that come with it have always been awful, and eventually, the charger crapped out too.

Got tired of buying batteries, and did not want to buy a new charger, so I did the only thing that, I, as a redneck, could think to do.

Behold! The Milwaukee M12 Powered Parrot Bebop 2! Flies great!

I’m seeing a guy whose birthday is coming up, and he’s really into drones. He has a DJI Mavic 4 Pro (I think the Creator Combo) and a DJI Matrice 4T.

I don’t know much about drones, so I was hoping to get some advice from people who do. Is there any drone-related gift you’d recommend for someone who already has these two?

It can be an accessory, something useful, or just something cool that a drone enthusiast would appreciate.

Thanks!

"Córdoba Mon Amour" Hyperlapse of Córdoba city, Argentina. Mavic Air 2. A lot of DNG images from that drone, without using the default hyperlapse output mode.

I’m new to low-latency video streaming and building an Android app with:

• 3 IP/RTSP camera streams
• UDP control messaging
• Target under 80ms latency
• Local wireless network

Our current setup already gets ~40ms wired and under 80ms wireless.

I’m considering Flutter.
What video stack would you recommend: GStreamer, MediaCodec, FFmpeg, libVLC, WebRTC, or something else?

Hey, was searching for a budget (<4k inr) mini quad copter (mini whoop) style fully ducted drone for a kid, similar to eachine e010 or jjrc h36 in india.

Is there a way to get them or some good alternatives?

Searched for jjrc h36 across many sites but imported ones cost a lot and rest others said out of stock.

Just doing dumb moves with a lito x1 thinking it's a fpv drone.Aftermath : Just scratched propelers

The question is rather simple. I am stuck on 491 followers after about 150 posts. Which is the best way to get more followers?

What am I doing wrong? What should I improve on?

I use the mini 5 pro

Hope you can all help.

made a hyperlapse waypoint, saved it, then went to fly it again and framing was 80% off , looking a whole other direction idk how to explain it better. it kind of blew my mind because I have done many in the past that were precise.

is this a known issue / any fixes ? can you adjust framing or anything without having to redo the entire waypoints?

Hey all, could use some help here. I was trying to solder a battery cable onto my Radiolink FLYCOLOR 55A 4-in-1 ESC and my soldering did not go well. The spot I messed up is right where the capacitor is attached, shown in the pic. I could not get a proper joint on the pad, and now one of the MOSFETs on the board looks like it is bulging up on top. Not sure if that happened from too much heat while I was working on it or something else.

Questions:

1. Soldering technique: what iron temperature, tip size, and process should I be using to solder a thick battery cable onto an ESC pad like this? I think I was either not getting enough heat into the joint or holding the iron on too long, which may have cooked the board.
2. Is a bulging MOSFET a sign that it is blown, or could it still be fine?
3. If it is damaged, is the whole ESC dead, or is this something that can be repaired/replaced?

Attaching pics of the board and the MOSFET closeup. Any advice on getting a clean solder joint without frying anything would be a big help.

Thank you! <3 <3

I am new to drones and have been building my own payload drone. I have 5010 380KV Motors and a CORVON 4IN1 60A ESC 32 bit paired with a CORVON H743 Flight Controller (V1).

With these, all the motors make some weird noises but only 1 in particular makes a more extreme noise. Attached videos to see. The 2nd and 3d videos are after I tested the drone (it stabalized but I hit a small branch with one motor) and now it has issues starting at low throttle and a different noise. Also, all the motors stop making this noise at a higher throttle, it seems to sort of just "click" off at a certain rpm.

Thank you all for the help.

Spent some time this weekend practicing these and getting more comfortable with the timing.

My approach was basically full throttle on the climb, pitch back into the rotation, throttle to zero coming over the top, let the drone fall, then catch it with throttle and power out.

Power loop? Big flip? Something in between? I’ll let Reddit decide. 😂

This is actually the type of maneuver that contributed to me losing my previous Avata 2 on a waterfall dive, so naturally I went back out and practiced it until it started feeling a lot more controlled.

Started at an abandoned factory doing them repeatedly, then finished the day with a much more relaxed sunset flight over cornfields, rivers and a lake.

Got a Mini 3 a bit ago and just kinda fooling around with it. Amazed at the quality of the camera

I just built the holybro x500 v2 kit and the instructions said to put the anti slip pad below the board I'm holding with my hand in the photos. I assume they intend for you to place the battery below the board and contact the slip pad, then Velcro it around the board. However, it seemed more logical to me to have the battery above the board (in that gap), such that it is held in place from above, below, AND on the sides (by the plastic brackets holding the board), while lowering the drones moment of inertia. What do you guys think?

On my Mavic mini i started to get message gimbal stuck. It initializes ok, but in the end camera leans a little and stays like that. I don’t see any opstacle when I move it by hand. I tried to recalibrate, but it gets stuck on 10%
Next time I get a gimbal motor overload. It flies, but camera is not smooth.

Did anyone have any experience with this?
