This is from my maiden flight the other day. First time on 4S and 6045, still need to fly some more batteries to get used to.
I heard some deer making noise so I did fly over to take a look. Anyway, no crazy stuff.

Need to add a buzzer before I do flips and rolls, its really hard to find in the field!! and I dont want the Vtx to burn either.
Post by: cato on July 22, 2015, 07:14:26 pm
I've only tried 6045 on this new quad but they feel really good, more thrust for sure and it seems to have a more floating feel to it.
Need to add a buzzer before I do flips and rolls, its really hard to find in the field!! and I dont want the Vtx to burn either.
Yeah, seemed to me too about the 6045 props. But I thought maybe the quad is less agile with larger props?
A find Buzzer is a nice thing. But I had one that needed some channel input or would go off after a minute. Maybe very useful, but sometimes I keep the quad sitting changing settings in the GCS, and it would go off all time, so I removed it. Raining here, next video maybe tomorrow or in the weekend, can't wait to do some more flips, and found some nice variations :)

Also, I'm keen to know more about your video link. Are you using diversity? 5.8??

Funnily, on my my first flight this morning, I had an ant in the eye cup on the left side of my FatSharks. Not long into the flight, I realised it was there and the little bugger was biting me on the corner of my eye. It took everything I had to keep the QAV up in the air and I was able to land it safely before ripping off my goggles and I took great pleasure in squashing the ant after the pain and discomfort it caused me.

Have not had a VB in years, tastes pretty good actually.
Cairns is a nice area for sure, but do like getting out into the dusty outback too.
Would love to do a road trip to Darwin one day...
Heading to north of WA in November for 2 weeks, so will take my machines for sure.

I'm in Australia, but NZ is pretty close.
In regards to height, I usually don't go that high either but I wanted to get a real good aerial perspective on the location. Here in Australia, we have a 400mtr height restriction from CASA.
Post by: cato on November 01, 2015, 09:43:35 am
This area looks like a big kinda swamp with many nasty crocodiles in ...
Living in Germany means less of those creatures, and about height, depending on the area you live you can go up to 760m. But we have lots of small airfields around, so usually it's more restricted (depending on the distance to the next airfield).
@liftbag, I always enjoy your flying, it shows me very nicely what I still am not able to do. Beautiful area you have there.
Now, batteries charging, after weeks of work with no way to fly I'll go on a hike, looking for new places to fly :)
Edit: finally had time to go through most of the videos here. What fun to watch, and finally after weeks could go flying myself again :)

(I know, the flight is really «unstable», i'm still searching the right parameters, on the video I was on acro factor 40 with 600deg/sec with no expo so a «bit» too much sensitive)
Post by: f5soh on November 08, 2015, 09:49:04 pm
Around middle stick it react like rate at 150deg/s (you can also add some expo) and full stick go to 'manual' (without gyro stabilization), in this case you may need a bigger Acro+ factor like 65 to see a difference.
With 600deg/sec you don't need high Acro factor :D
Video example with the settings above in Acro+

Post by: eephyne on November 09, 2015, 12:46:00 am
If you use Acro+, you can set a small 'Rate' like 150deg/s.Yep i notice that. Now I'm on 70 factor acro with 10 expo for pitch roll (-3 with yaw) and 250deg/sec. It's a lot better but I'll try with 150 like you said .

Just got to get use to it and not panic.
Would love to jump on a plane an spend a week flying with you over there.
They have direct flights from here.
Bring a Phantom 3 too as it shoots stunning video, but boring as to fly.
I call it Cappuccino flying when I fly it, you can sip on your coffee while you float around up there.

Tons of space on the family farm in Western Australia...fly as high and far as you want.
Imagine crashing your copter "somewhere" in that wheat field... and then trying to find it.
One of mine crashed into about a hectare of meter high grass. Video went out and I had to ditch. No buzzer, didn't have my DVR running, I thought I knew exactly where it was, but no. I spent at least an hour walking back and forth across the area and didn't find it. I finally gave up and left but came back later in the day and found it pretty quickly. Zero damage and even the battery ejected and disconnected so I didn't even lose that.
Flying over long grass is good for crash damage but make sure you have a way to find it.
Post by: Wagsy on November 25, 2015, 07:00:02 am
Just keep at it, then try rolls in Rattitude mode, then move onto Manual modes to have full control.
Yes always a risk for sure in grass and stuff.
I figured if it did go down, the boys in the headers would find it.
If the battery stays on (two straps plus velcro) I can also use the Taranis to locate it.
I could also put the Phantom 3 up and float around for a look.

I am currently in the process of getting comfortable with FPV. I remember my first flight, it was simply scary, as what I heard and what I saw were not in tune. At the moment I don't dare to fly any acro, and with the weather getting worse it may be a while until my first flips and rolls in FPV.
But as soon as you are a bit comfortable, flying in FPV is simple joy, and is definitely a lot easier than flying LOS. Also I found that I like rate very much in FPV, while in LOS I still prefer (r)attitude, as my brain still has a lot to work with the direction changes. The main challange is that the image is only 2D, it is difficult to have a precise estimation of distances.
Post by: Zrisst on November 25, 2015, 10:18:27 am
But always T/O and land and fly in near field visually, and in far range I use Loiter or Cartesian modes (GPS assisted modes similar to VelocityRoam) never more than 20º banking or pitching; so no need to have references, no low altitude flight, and many times RTH with autoland for coming home.
So, there is not the first time I do FPV, but the first I do it with goggles, T/O and land and fly low altitude without GPS assist.
But felt in love with been inside a miniquad :)
I hope I'll post soon my first onboard video doing rolls.
Post by: Wagsy on November 29, 2015, 03:16:49 pm
Ratitude is good to get you going into the rolls though.
Just keep at it and you will naturally progress, O... and you will crash a lot :-)
But now ACRO+ is the only way to fly.
Stopped here today to carve up this little section of beach.

Well done on your first full flight with goggles. Let the good times roll.
Post by: ArnhemAnt on November 30, 2015, 11:27:33 am
Would love to jump on a plane an spend a week flying with you over there.
They have direct flights from here.
Bring a Phantom 3 too as it shoots stunning video, but boring as to fly.
I call it Cappuccino flying when I fly it, you can sip on your coffee while you float around up there.
Cheers.
You're welcome up here dude. Why not make it happen? I've got a couple mates (juz and helliyeah) arriving in less than a fortnight. Keep an eye out for the videos.
I know what you mean about the Phantom. I had to fly one for my RPAS certification....

Great job, don't break it now.
Yes seem to be finding more locations all the time to fly here.
Will hit some falls soon.
Sounds like you are going to have a good time with those guys turning up in the NT, look forward to teh vids.
I just got back from WA break so have to miss this one out.
But will look at it in a few months time for sure.

Will put the 6 inch triples on it.
4S 2250 on the back / 2000kv cobra motors and those Multiwicopter one shot 12 amp ESC's.
Just bit of jitter when the wind is up to tune out.

Still flying attitude, but now it's FPV with the onboard Mobius Camera. Nothing special, too, but fun :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg0QTI5CDkE
I put the GCS log in, as with the GPS option you get a nice flight path, and valuable data, like top speed was 15m/s = 55km/h = 34mph. Maximum altitude over ground was 65m, measured with a FrSky Variometer.

Doing the VLOGS is hard as it takes up time to get the shots and you have to always have the camera with you.
Last few I have been a bit slack but will notch it up for the next few.
This one is me racing the QUADI 300 (4S 2250 - AUW 950gram) with some super light mini's.
I could get them on the straights but could not turn as fast. Maybe with a 4S 1500 on it would do better.

(The BMW vid is excellent - is that a new level of overcoming giddiness or does it feel ok ?)
Congratulations to finding internet. :P Nice forest exploration, I love flying around like that in tight forest after I confronted my greatest FPV fear(trees) by just, doing the opposite of avoiding them. :)
Hmm, flying FPV from car feels a bit strange, done it a few times now. Especially in the start as I was flying backwards and the car started moving forward. moving backwards and forward at the same time is a funny feeling :). But after a minute or so I got kinda use to it, I tend to be able to almost completely disconnect my body's senses and "be" the copter.
Post by: ernstock on July 27, 2016, 09:14:33 pm
Will try for a 'disconnect ' when I get someone to drive Land Rover through woods whilst I Fpv the journey.

Sorry for off-topic, as it belongs more to testing section (you do it on your own risk) but what works for me:
I have a new micro-copter based on Omnibus F4 stack https://www.banggood.com/20x20mm-XJB-F425-Dshot-Flytower-Micro-F4-AIO-OSD-BEC-Flight-Control-25A-Blheli_S-2-4S-4-In-1-ESC-p-1148284.html (https://www.banggood.com/20x20mm-XJB-F425-Dshot-Flytower-Micro-F4-AIO-OSD-BEC-Flight-Control-25A-Blheli_S-2-4S-4-In-1-ESC-p-1148284.html)
So I tested mr_w branch as follow
Code: [Select]
git clone https://bitbucket.org/librepilot/librepilot.git
# Then add remote repository
git remote add mr_w https://bitbucket.org/mindnever/librepilot.git
# Then I fetched branches without any merges
git fetch mr_w
# Then I just switched to his branch
git checkout mr_w/omnibus_f3_f4
And followed standard procedure described on Wiki how to compile on Linux, just with one difference
Code: [Select]
make all_sdk_install
make qt_sdk_install
make omnibusf4 bl_omnibusf4_hex gcs -j 8
It produced bl_omnibus_f4.hex (bl_ for bootloader alone) which is the bootloader in format that can be uploaded from BetaFlight configurator.
Then I just started compiled gcs, and triggered rescue mode, plugged again board flashed fw_omnibusf4.hex (fw_ for firmware alone).
Not a rate flight yet, but for compatibility with this video section wanted to check if it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ApOfzdQ3Y
There is no GUI for board peripherals so UART1 had to be set for Sbus functionality in Configuration->UAVObject Browser in HwOmnibusF4Settings
Before that, I was unable to get it working with pre-flashed BF, due to inputs randomly jumping over 50% on all Sbus channel but works with LP just fine.

Indeed, it's hard to know a country, especially its nature / landscapes by just visiting few cities.
Bulgaria has a beautiful nature and lots of places to visit. As usual, the most beautiful are harder to reach :)
Aside from this, it's a matter of luck to be there at the right moment and have the necessary equipment with you.

Did you have to hike far? How much elevation change during hike?
Post by: jdl on September 10, 2021, 12:22:02 pm
Actually, the Seven Rila Lakes are easily accessible and tens of thousands of people visit them every summer. There is a convenient chair lift there that goes up to 2100m (right to the Rilski Ezera hut) and most of tourists/visitors use it. The lift saves a 500m of elevation change and about 5km of walking.
I just persisted to use my feet :). I hadn't been there for years and wished to feel the forest and the mountain.

Aside from making my best to fly as smooth as possible, I do software post-processing with proDAD Mercalli.
AFAIK only this Runcam camera (Runcam5 Orange) has EIS. But I find this inbuilt video stabilization to be inefficient and even harmful.
There is a new and somehow exciting functionality introduced in the latest Runcam5 Orange firmwares: an automatic generation of .csv file with gyroscope data that is saved to the MicroSD card. This allows for direct post-processing stabilization with the gyroflow https://elvinchen.com/gyroflow/ (https://elvinchen.com/gyroflow/) (similar to ReelSteadyGO for GoPro cameras).
This project is still under development and looks quite promissing. However, at its present state (gyroflow 0.3.0-beta), the results I've got trying to stabilize video footage from my flights with gyroflow are definitely inferior compared to proDAD Mercalli. On the other side, Mercalli v5 costs almost $300 now, against $0 for gyroflow 0.3.0 ...

It looks like RC5 has image stabilization but RC2-4K has WiFi (on/off and a useful app), microphone, "sudden power loss video save" and selectable FOV that RC5 doesn't have. At least that is what the two Amazon listings say. That makes it sound like the RC2-4K is the better one for me.
Are there any FPV HD recording cameras that can do low light?

Thanks! I just read that the image stabilization can cause a jerkiness in yaw and there was a recommendation to turn it off.
Definitely, EIS should be turned off for flight footage!

RC5 Orange has better sensor and optics and offers very good lens distortion correction that gives better results compared to applying a lens distortion correction in post-processing.
RC5 has a mic, too.
WiFi is useful but I find the RC5 Orange configuration method (2D barcodes) more convenient and fast.
Sudden power loss is unlikely to happen with RC5 Orange as it has an inbuilt battery. RC2-4k can be used without battery (for weight saving) on external power, so a "sudden power loss" here is much more likely to happen. Haven't tested this feature of RC2-4k as I use it with both a battery and external power.
RC2-4k has a quite decent SD video out that can be used for FPV. I'm not sure if RC5 Orange has it?!
I personally prefer using RC2-4k on a plane and feel RC5 Orange is better suited for a quad.

No idea. Haven't seen anything that seems satisfactory yet...

Any ideas about remote control cables (or adapters) that they don't seem to make any more? I've seen a reddit post linking to instructions to make a video/still adapter with start-video/take-picture. I wonder if something could be done with the BetaFlight code that talks to the cable to do full menu traversal plus camera mode / start.

However I doubt it can be remote controlled to start/stop video or take pictures (I'm unaware it's capable of recording still images). I recall it is RC2-4k the one that has such features.
I'm curious to read this reddit post about the video/still adapter, there might be useful info there!

About the remote control for RunCam 5, I may be thinking of the tv-out cable which works with many different runcam models including RC5.

I can't find the reddit post at all (and it may have been about the other cable), but the aforementioned post links to the important post (make a partial remote control) and also describes electronically closing the main button.

About the remote control for RunCam 5, I may be thinking of the tv-out cable which works with many different runcam models including RC5 but banggood has a specific page called "runcam 5 remote control adapter" that you get from Google when you just search for site:banggood.com runcam remote control. It is just click bait.

User manual of RC5 does not mention neither taking still pictures, not remote control capabilities.
According the manual, TV-Out is supported.

If expense is a primary concern, it looks like ordering directly from shop.runcam.com may be the best price. It is the typical list price, but free shipping and for non-VAT countries at least, no tax. Probably coming from China, et. al.
I went ahead and ordered an RC2-4K and some cables from them. I paid an extra USD $3 to get tracking.

Both Runcam2-4k and RC5 Orange capture great quality videos. I'd only wish they had a little better HDR at sunset conditions, flying directly towards the sun (although I don't have any GoPros for comparison). For their price of approx. $100 I'm more than happly with what I get from them.
