    Thank you, this is very helpful. btw, I just ordered skyzone 02x goggles, I’m not sure what kind of batteries to get for these. Any advice?

    Batteries for dumbies

    Coming into the new world of FPV, I’m incredibly overwhelmed with the plethora of batteries available for all kinds of builds. What’s the difference between all of them and how would a noob be able to know which batteries are right for which quad like weight and size? Lipo, Livh, maH, v, c, 3s...

    Black Friday Slash on Banggood???

    Hey guys, I’m new to everything so I really don’t know much about banggood.com but they appear to have some sort of sale that “slashes” prices. I don’t really understand but can you really get some of this stuff for free just for sharing exposure? here is what I’m looking at because you can’t...

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Thanks, I’ll try this. My camera angle is set to 25 and I didn’t think of that. I’ll try going lower.

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Thanks for the info. I’ll be looking into whoops. Here’s a new question. Strafing. On the simulator, strafing seems a little difficult because when attempting to strafe, the drone is always moving forward more than a left or right strafe. Is this just how quadcopters move that I need to get...

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Ok, I appreciate this information ?? Is there a whoop or micro out there that you would recommend that’s cheap and can do full acro? How do you know if a drone can do acro? I’ve seen many online that don’t say whether or not they can fly in acro mode or not. Barrel rolls and flips are the...

    My official hello

    Hey everyone, I forgot to describe myself in the other thread so it seems fitting to start a new one here. My name is Robert, I’m a videographer in Southern California. I bounce back and forth from LA where I do camera work and lighting. Lighting is my favorite part of cinematography! About a...

    I know what I'm asking Santa for this year!

    It’s about time. We’re officially in the year that blade runner took place and a little passed back to the future! ?

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Thanks for the info. Right now I’m looking at the skyzone 02x. They seem pretty reliable and cost effective. I’ll just have to pick up some nice antennas to add on to it. They seem like they’ll be good beginner goggles and I’ll consider an upgrade when the next line of fatsharks come out. Seems...

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Nothing is more disappointing than a long message that was eaten by the system ? Thanks for that assurance on the DJI RE goggles. That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling. Granted, they have great options paired with my phantom, but the truth of the matter is that I never find a need for goggles...

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Hehe, well since they’ve never been opened, still sealed and untampered, I was going to try the old Walmart trick where they take back one item a year without a receipt. But I better hope they haven’t had any deals because they only give back the lowest retail price it has ever been set at. So I...

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    Thanks Donnie. Before it appeared as pending and this morning it was completely gone so I got pretty discouraged thinking I violated some rule. Thanks for clarifying.

    DJI RE goggles or fatsharks?

    New here. First post rejected. Pretty disappointed because that was a well thought out description of my introduction with a legitimate question that I’ve been needing answered. Should I keep my DJI RE goggles or replace them for a different brand and which kind. What constitutes approval and...
