Just fly higher. It is more difficult with a smaller whoop, this is a 5" so it has lots of hang time.

I haven't looked at this vid in a while...I think this is around the time I was in my first IGOW and really just learning to fly in acro but looks like this flight was full acro, 2s a must have for this 85mm (2") whoop. I had the power on the VTX at 400 it looks like and it does help for when I fly around the back side of the house but if I only fly infront of me with no obstructions I could turn it down but honestly never have. You want to see this same whoop after I learned out to fly it a bit faster, this video might be a better representation of what the Mobula8 can really do. It still probably my favorite go to back yard ripper. Not has bother by the wind as much as the smaller 75 and 65mm whoops. ruclips.net/video/tw9Elt4dj28/видео.htmlsi=JCvXC7DXQi6xo13L

Thanks! That wide lens makes things look even faster but this little 75mm feels more like a 3" then a whoop. Spare part builds are the best, lol.

@@ToddBurke42 yeah it does look fast, but your a good pilot geezer, well done!

Well most of this one started as a Mobula7 HD (www.racedayquads.com/products/happymodel-bnf-1s-mobula-7-hd-whoop-choose-version?keyword=mobula). I’m not sure where you would pick up the RunCam Split 3 Lite by itself. I had a Mobula6 HD and I put it on a micro frame (75mm NewBeeDrone Mosquito) and that was a lot of fun until I smack a tree. Lost the lens and SD card in the grass somewhere. That’s why I went with nice slow big motors for cruising and to keep me out of trouble.

@@ToddBurke42 niiiiice!!! Yeah.. the split 3 lite is hard to come by... sigh.. my gripe with Runcam

The only connection point is the camera to the flight controllers camera plug on the X12 flight controller. So it is getting power from the 5V on the camera port. It’s been a while, was the black box in between on that power connection to the splitcam? If so, I must have repined that camera cable but right now it looks just like any other whoop setup. That might have been the other reason I dropped the blackbox.

If I remember correctly I remember looking at the voltage requirements and decided it wasn’t worth keeping. I’ve never been able to match my flights in Gyroflow. I’ve used GyroFlow with my Thumb Pro and it works pretty good with that gyro data. I moved this to an even bigger 85mm (Mobula 8 frame) so I could put bigger props and it’s more stable. Still get some jello but I try to avoid using on super bright days seems to help. If I could find a ND filter that might help with the jello effect.

@@ToddBurke42 so u didnt use the blackbox ?

@@agung1986 I tried on the original setup but when I moved to 2s I think it wasn't compatible voltage source without some sort of voltage converter so it wasn't worth it. None of my other whoops have a blackbox and they seem fine. I think there are a couple issues why I wasn't getting good results with gyroflow to steady the footage. One was the gryo data not coming from the camera so there a disconnect that small but might be enough. So it might filter out some of the bigger movements but not the smaller vibrations is my guess. The other was it was a pain to match up the gyro data with the footage. Most other things I use gyroflow that work really well is when the camera recording the gyro data and it matches the footage. The cons of having it out way the benefits so I didn't bother keeping it.

I’ll try and remember the next time I have it open. I think what I meant for this setup I was having a hard time keeping the original footage fairly stable so if you let it not have any black box showing, it will zoom to the point you loose that wide angle feel. I personally have not liked the dynamic zoom myself for this very reason. I would rather see the black box on the edges. Just my opinion. I’ve ran Gyroflow on some other footage and it does a really good job.

@@ToddBurke42 thanks 👍

Thanks, I have a lot of fun with this little whoop. It's a great stress reliever to get some flow time in.

@@ToddBurke42 heheh its one of my favourites! Nice one bruddah

Thanks, I kind of hoping there will be another session someday. The one I have the battery hasn’t been able to keep a charge for years so I power it off of the battery balance lead. So I’m carrying some dead weight. With this small of a drone it’s noticeable but the footage is better overall than the Vista on the drone. Though, the vista better in lower light and the other issue with this session is it’s not usable when it’s about 2 or 3 hours till sunset. Any time I am facing the sky towards where the sun is, everything else but the sky is exposed correctly.

@@ToddBurke42 That's interesting how you are able to power it from the balance leads. The Session 5 I have also does not hold a charge long. If I fully charge it, I have about enough time for 4 flights that day. Every day I do not use it the charge goes down until dead. It there a way to change the battery?

@@FPZzzz If you google how to replace that battery you'll want to not want to use it anymore because it looks like a tough procedure. I use something like this: pyrodrone.com/collections/battery-accessories/products/iflight-type-c-to-balance-head-charging-cable-for-gopro-hero-6-7-8 or www.racedayquads.com/products/flywoo-type-c-power-supply-cable-for-gopro-9-10-11-smo-nakedgopro-bones?keyword=usb%20type-c I had to make one myself for doing it for a 2s battery balance lead. I needed it to run a runcam thumb on my Mobula8.

I think this is what I used to make a 5v source from the 2s battery lead. pyrodrone.com/products/matek-micro-bec-6-30v-to-5v-9v-adj

Just a beat up Happy Model Mobula 8. There no filter, this is just the goggle DVR footage and the antenna probably beat up which is probably why it cuts out a bit. Unless you mean that blue part on the sides, that done in Davinci Resolve.

I don't have a good PID tune for this. I think I created a second profile in BetaFlight and used the Betaflight default PID. I've been kind of going back and forth between the two. I'm really not a good person to ask about tuning this. If you asking what votage my battery is when I land...depending on if you have single cell value showing in the OSD (which then I am usually landing at 3.4V and it will pop back up a bit after landing. I think that would be just under 7V if you looking at the total battery voltage.

Thanks, felt good to get outside after banging whoops against the walls inside. 😛

It has been a while since I printed it but I'm pretty sure this is it. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6048497

@@ToddBurke42 oh it's for the ultra wide pinch. Okay thanks

It is, it's kind of in that sweet spot of being small enough not to be very noticeable but all the power to go fast and have a lot of fun.

@@ToddBurke42 sure it is.i will try what you do.

Thanks, getting to fly a great stress reliever. :-)

Video usually pretty good but was pretty dark by the time I flew it. It's amazingly how well the break works on it. It could be 35mph wind and you can break it and it just sits in that spot. It's a great cruiser and not worrying about losing connection because of the return to home makes it my longer range drone for sure.

Seems like I rolled back some of the original pid tune to more towards stock BF tune when adding more and more weight. Maybe adding some more filtering overall. Over all I still like it the best straight out of the box but it's fun to experiment.

Yes, stock motor and FC. Anytime you add weight it will start affecting the flight characteristics but I was surprised at how well it carried the camera. Most videos I've seen have been more slow and easy but I thought there was still quite a bit of grip around the corners. Now does it fly the same as without the extra weight, no. Here a video I posted how I would normally fly the completely stock version of the Mobula 8 in the backyard. ruclips.net/video/SncSExxs8J0/видео.htmlsi=SfGipgv68NGsFSHf Though I do hold back a bit with the Thumb because I'm pretty sure that it would explode if I hit a tree dead on with it.

@@ToddBurke42 thanks!

This is the Fractal 65 frame kit, using a HappyModel 2G4 flight controller. Motors on this one are the RCingPower 802 270000kv motors on bi-blade props. I think I'm using a TinyWhoop pinch camera. The one thing with this setup is I had to go with a slightly bigger 450mAh battery or I had really short flight times. It had no problem carrying a little extra weight.

@@ToddBurke42 nice i have i build simaler but just tend to use my costom mobula 7 1s.
