Nice video man! Definitely suggest aftermarket antenna's for both the quad and the goggles. The ones that walksnail supplies with the vtx's and goggles are horrible!
Looks like the Walksnail Got Ya has you 🙃, you may be flying around on 25mW, what happens it's a different behaviour between firmware versions, what happens with the newer behaviour if you set the power setting above MAX output say if you have the older 1S VTX that has a max of 350mW but you have set it to 500mW, it will look like it takes, and you think you will be flying about at your MAX setting, but what really happens if you check the setting will be back down at 25mW -- If I am swapping about power settings it's now a pre flight check for me to check the settings.. Love the look of your video out put 🙂 -- BTW I fly a mob8 with only the whip antenna and fly it well past 500 meters .. the first thing I generally get is RSSI warnings, and then pushing it focus mod starts cutting in. I love my Mob8
Interesting. FO sure I'm on max power. its the 1st thing to check before doing a range test. Not sure whats up with the whoop. Incidentally, this was one of the Mob8 that I tested back at the Happymodel factory! ruclips.net/video/qMI9ljNUBrw/видео.html But I'll check again as u advised. Who knows, these things have a mind of its own. I've had quads that went to some weird settings on its own. Interesting! With just the whip? It originally comes with a dipole. Not many will use a whip antenna. I love it too. Just this weirdly short range! Thanks for dropping in bruh!
@@shogunemperor Oops my bad it is the standard default dipole -- shows how good I am "not" . I have 6 Walksnail quads 5 of them the 1S VTX unit and they are all seem to be pretty good. May be I have rose coloured glasses 🙂
haha thanks so much bro! Its a little messy tho! If u can do it on a sim, u can do it in real life. Just stop thinking about "crashing"! Pretty sure u can do it.
HAHAHAHA NIIIICE BROOO!!! I love the East Coast Park. Each time I come here, its always happy memories! Hope u guys are doing well man! Missing u guys loads!!!
@@FlyingBuzzard thanks mah bruddah. Im contributing it to those stock antenna on the goggles. I’ll try to swap them out and see if there are any improvements.
Man, I'm currently flying around 0 Celsius. Envy your weather. I have the Mob 8 WS as well. Surprisingly stable for such a small quad outside at the beach. But the range is limited... Maybe cause it has more of a directional antenna on the L i can go a bit further?
@@ThomasAndersonFPV hahaha this was actually last week when the sun came out in the morning! Its been raining non stop since then. Yeah… i’ve been trying to find ways to improve its range. I love it. But that range is putting me off
@@shogunemperorHaha good thing we can fly inside if needed. Hmm maybe it's specific. or the UV index was very high that day. This can interfere as well. Make sure the versions are exactly the same. Anything else I cannot think of. I'nm more an deejeeaai guy, curious what that 04 light will do, if it does what it says it does it will decimate the landscape. :D
Thanks for doing the LOS range test buddy! 120m, with Line of Sight RF link? that’s a bummer! No excuse for walksnail! Sorry for being harsh. auto-hopping and redundancy carrier for IMHO tech in 2024 should be WAY better than this.. if it can’t cope with that kind of interference in open area (which is far from the dense residential apartments with much higher noise floor from 5G wifi), it has failed to deliver. Period.
Im thinking its a settings issue. Or perhaps an antenna problem. I dunno. But need to troubleshoot the source! I've heard people getting really good range of about at least 500m... so not sure whats wrong with it.
@@WindjumbieFPV hahah this was actually last week when the sun was out for the longest time. Since then it had been raining non stop. About 120-130m it started glitching at 120m so i didnt wanna push beyond 130m. In China, i flew around 700m with the moonlight vtx. Here, I only around 200m
What WS settings? I get 250 yards thru trees on std 720 rate on WS VRX and one down on the power level. And the antenna is the 10mm stubby most places sell. behind a house at 100 yards. 🍻 🍻🍻🍻🍻 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Super weird you are getting crap range. I haven’t had much experience with WS, but you should het more than that, even with the older 350mw vtx. Hope you figure it out. Sweet rip at the skate park!
Yeah something wrong with it. I have a HDZero whoop lite with 200mw max output on a Nano Goblin Inav wing with a truerc small Omni. I have gone out over 2 miles or 3218 meters pretty easily line of sight no obstructions. Only turned around because of nerves!!! Your Walksnail should do a lot better than 120 meters. A setting or something.
Nice video man!

@@_tcmore aaww thanks mah bruddah! Yeah! Agreed man! I got the patch antennas. But i gotta find a pair of omnis to replace the stock ones

Hey bro, I've been to the beach in your video.
The range is surprisingly short
Yup. Im thinking it could be an antenna issue or something else. For sure Im on max power.
Awesome freestyling. Like the trippy spin around the lamp post. I'm trying to learn that. So far can do on a sim but in real life still not.
haha thanks so much bro! Its a little messy tho! If u can do it on a sim, u can do it in real life. Just stop thinking about "crashing"! Pretty sure u can do it.
Hi bro, I've been to the beach in your video. It's nice to see it again in your video.

Use Aftermarket antennas and up the VTX power! 😊
I agree. Im on max power tho... think Im gonna get me some new LHCPs to replace the stock stubbies.
You need TrueRC antenna's in your life. I have them on everything.
I AGREE!!! I was just looking at those!!! hahaha
Beautiful place , cool video
I would have thought the WS would have better range , maybe better antenna's on both Mob8 and Goggles ?

Brian Did you change the elrs output power.
@@WillyFPV hey bruh! No I didnt. Power remains the same at 100mw on ELRS. I found this is the most optimum for me and doesnt affect the 5.8ghz

Hi, what version of walksnail firmware are you using? still no news about the basseline 1s version with 0802 25000 kV motor 😀😉
@@nikosmos7810 dont think they’ll ever do a 1S bassline man. Version is 37 and my goggles are 38
Looks like you had nice weather to fly How far did it go? I see 120M?
