@@AdamGdoesFPV I am indeed, I've not found the 13.3km limit to be much of a hindrance to my flying enjoyment. The key to get the best out of the system is really good antennas and the right settings. I have mine setup at 1200mw, 50MBs, and Focus Mode Auto. I've found the best antennas to be the TrueRX X-air MK2. Although 10dbi they performed better for me than the more recent 13dbi X2-airs in terms of distance.

No the 13km thing isn’t an issue for me either. I can’t remember the last time I flew that far. I’m pretty sure I already have mine set to the same settings you’ve described there. I’m surprised you got better results with lower gain antennas! I’ll give the iFlight patches a good test first, they’re a really nice form factor with it being a simple replacement of the stock eye patch looking part 😅 and decent gain at 9dBi. Cheers
@Crunklefloop

@@AdamGdoesFPV I think the reason I had better results is because the X2-air's are patches only on two of the antenna ports with omnis on the other (much like the iFlight setup), whereas, although lower gain, the X-air's are effectively patches on all 4 antenna ports so you've directional antennae on both TX/RX for both channels.

Thanks for doing this overview! The Albabird has been on my want-list but the shipping issue always kept me from trying it. Ended up ordering their new Xbird instead with the "free" shipping. I've had one corrupted file on my Insta360 Go 2 when the battery died during a particularly epic flight of my AR Wing Pro. I was able to recover the video data from the corrupted file using Wondershare Repairit. I also emailed Insta360 tech support and they offered to try to repair it if I uploaded it and gave them some info (still waiting on that). I lost the gyro data (it was shot in Pro mode), but I'm happy to still have at least the video and audio. Might be worth it to reach out to support if you still have the file. Post-flight OSD can be generated using OpenTX or Blackbox logs and Dashware, but I find this to be a massive pain and agree that it's unfortunate it's not as simple as analog. I've only done it a few times though and perhaps making it a consistent part of a workflow would remove much of the friction.
@AdamGdoesFPV
2 жыл бұрын
Hey, no problem, glad you enjoyed it. I don't have the file anymore and I wasn't too upset about losing the file as I did a second flight in the same location and it worked that time. I did look into repairing it just out of interest but never actually tried. Useful to know though, just in case I lose a file I really want to recover! Yeah exactly there are ways round it with logging in blackbox and tx... I just want things to work easily 😅 Cheers

Another exceptional build overview. Love how you cover the details, as I pick up many ideas I can use in my builds. BTW: Left comment yesterday mentioning you could use CosmoStreamer with a Raspberry Pi to record video or allow a family member to fly along. Provided bit of detail, but it appears was deleted, or censored by YT robots. Have noticed from time to time. (no idea what triggered, so won't repeat text)
