I'm trying to make a set of night vision goggles using drone parts. I am planning to connect a Runcam night eagle 3 directly to the AV In/AV out port on the [/url][url=https://www.skyzonefpv.com/collections/goggles/products/sky04l]Skyzone SKY041L

Here's where I am confused

So the Night Eagle 3 is advertised as having 1000tvl which according to this website is equal to 1280x720.  The Skyzone goggles have a resolution of 1280x960 but according to this site the composite video signal can only carry 576i.

Am I overspending on resolution that I will not get or am I missing something here?

is there a specific section in the forum for tunning advice / help?

Didn't feel like jumping on the Five33 hype train for a simple 3" quad, so I decided to design my own frame that is comparable as far as weight and prop size goes. Decided to make something that can be used for racing as well as freestyle. The big push for me to make something of my own is because I have a CNC Router in my shop and a stack of carbon sheets so I figured why not!

Main Design goals:

-Durable
-Easy to build
-Fits HDZero 90fps cam
-AIO protection
-Top/bottom battery mount option


I'm not by any means a competitive racer. My local racing chapter has agreed to include my frame within their Tiny Trainer spec race as long as we keep similar setup the same. (3" props, 3s, 160-200g). This frame meets those requirements. We plan to race this Sunday at an indoor R/C car track facility. I'll be sure to post some video of the quad ripping around. Maybe I'll hand it over to one of the guys who is fast so I can see it in action.


Here's some pictures of the build. I did make some changes to shave a few grams from the frame plates vs the first iteration so that helped a bit. Right now I'm at 120g and 123g on both of my builds before battery. Add a 550mah 3s pack and I am at 170-173g.

Guys, would you say this BEC is good to use to hook up my O3 to my FC? I want to avoid going directly to VBat just in case some spike or something happens and fries my stuff.

MICRO BEC MATEK 6-30V TO 5V/9V-ADJ (6S)

* High Efficiency Synchronous Step-down regulator
* Wide 6V to 30V Operating Input Range
* Continuous load current: 1.5 Amps (Max.2.5A 5s/minute)
* VOut 5V or 9V Adj. Default is 5V.
* VOut Load Regulation: 2%
* Standby current: <5mA

Else, what would you all recommend or have done that's proven in regards to the O3 unit?

Hello,

One of the motors of Mobula 6 does not spin and make some cracking noise, please find video attached.
I did disconnect this motor from board and plugged in nearest motor - it worked. So I make assumption in motor disability.

Always had no issues with velocidrone stick inputs but now don't get anything!?
Using a Radio king tx and normal usb cable,have also deleted and reinstalled in it and still no look.
Need to keep practicing asam now really rusty

Hey Guys
I was just having a shower thought and thinking if eachine was gonna come out with a Dji bnf/rtf. I think that would be great but the competition is rotor riot, getfpv bundles and so on. What’s y’all’s opinion? i think they should.

I'm trying to decide between 2 BnFs:
https://flywoo.net/products/cinerace20-h...-cinewhoop
and
https://flywoo.net/collections/new/produ...long-range

Neither is the right size for me.  I intend to move the components to a 3" frame which would be quieter (well, lower frequency) than the 2" and smaller than the 4".  My flying style is slow and cruisey like Grampa on Sunday morning.

I prefer the CineRace20 to be sacrificed since the FC is an AIO whereas the Explorer has a stack.

Question:  Is the 20A from the CineRace20 adequate to spin 3", 5-bladed props or would I need the Explorer's 40A?
               
I don't even know what the Amp rating refers to with respect to FCs and ESCs.  I plan to use 4S batteries.


Thanks

Hi, I have a Happymodel X12 and on BF 4.3.0 and Bluejay. I can spin up all motors from the controls in betaflight and in bluejay, but when I arm and try to hover with my controller, one motor does not spin. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The articles linked to below were published in The Telegraph and also the daily trash (Mail Online) which report that the CAA are apparently looking into options for some kind of Remote ID for drones in the UK with a deadline date of 1st April 2026 (is it an April Fool? LOL).

It's hardly "Wild West" in the sky here  So that's just another sensationalist BS headline to try and stir up yet more unnecessary public hysteria around drones. You hardly ever see any drones, certainly not round where I live anyway. In my 4.5 years in the hobby I've only ever seen 3 people on 3 separate occasions flying a camera drone, and I've never seen another single person flying an FPV quad around here.

You can only read articles from The Telegraph if you pay a subscription, so for convenience I have copy/pasted the contents of the article below. I didn't pay. I got to the article using one of the known workarounds (turn off your internet connection before you start scrolling down the article or access it via https://12ft.io).

The Telegraph Wrote:Drone number plates to help tackle 'Wild West' in the sky

Concern is growing in Government that the registration scheme for the UK's 300,000 drone users is currently too hard to enforce

Drones will be forced to have electronic number plates so they can be tracked by police and the security services under plans being drawn up by regulators and the Government.

Drones would be equipped with "remote ID" technology, enabling their speed, location, height, user's location and take-off point to be tracked.

It comes as concern grows in Government that the registration scheme for the UK's 300,000 drone users lacks the technological back-up for it to be properly enforced. One source compared the situation to "the Wild West".

With 900,000 commercial drones alone predicted in the next five years, ministers want an aerial equivalent of the automatic number-plate recognition network of cameras for cars, vans and lorries which enables police and local authorities to identify law-breaking drivers.

The United States has already legislated for such a system which will go live in September this year under which every drone will have to have a “unique identifier” that it broadcasts along with the coordinates of its aerial position in real time, control station and take-off point.

The Civil Aviation Authority has commissioned Swiss firm Murzilli Consulting to "develop a strategy for any future remote ID requirement for UK drone and remotely piloted services".

It is understood officials are working towards a deadline of April 1 2026 to get a remote ID system running in the UK. The plans are due to be announced in March this year.

The move comes as the Government prepares to spend £8 million deploying anti-drone detectors around nuclear plants, transport hubs, oil rigs and other sensitive infrastructure across the UK to protect from aerial terrorist attacks.
