As I explained in the video, the dvr stopped recording as the quad seemed to dissarm . I didn't have an action camera on as I was testing . Next time, I'll try to set up a cam
@@ts13fpv Good man! I do enjoy a good fpv crash montage. I've crashed into cliffs, into a lake, into so many trees, faceplanted 100km/hr into the ground. Shit was wild!
Oh man your little Mario 1 up sound is my exact message tone for my phone! I quit out of RUclips and checked my messages and nothing? No notifications for nothing? I'm like wtf my phone is whack.. Then it did it again! I'm like hang on a second press rewind 15 seconds! Ahhhh ya bastard ya got me hahaha 😆
All my birds have GPS rescue set up. They all work fine, including landing. IDK what is happening with yours, but I followed Limon's GPS rescue video. I think it's for 4.4 but the same settings work fine for me in 4.5. I know they say hover throttle is important. I don't know if that is your issue, just throwing ideas out there. Best of luck getting it sorted. Looking forward to part 2.
@ mines sorted now. I’ll find the vid I followed. Misses its mark but within 5 yds. Realised I was powering it, acquires Sats, then I moved it to a position further away from me. Hence it missed that point. So i move it now then power it
It stopped recording unfortunately 😔 ive got my goggles set to start recording on arm and stop on dissarm. I still had video in the goggles and could see it coming down . I never had an action cam on either 😔 wish I'd had my vlog cam on a tripod
I've never tried rth and land on betaflight, but I do know it works amazing on Inav. On a seven inch drone that needs rth, I would use Inav every time.
Ive always used rth as a back up incase of failsafe and to be fair it's work fine . Just seems to have gone a bit haywire on the landing side of things . May have to have a look at inav as I've never used it
When I was running i think 4.1.1 bf rth worked good for me ,hit the switch then take back controll, but 4.4/4.5 it gives you more options. so did all of them like hover point /height ect,,,I arm the quad but just let it'sit there with the motors spinning and my gps will start adding meters on home then 6m 14m 22mm 40m and my quad hasn't even moved lol bye the time I took off gps was saying 180m away lol what's going on there then lol
@quadfoxfpv420 that's a strange one dude . I've always had it set to rth but never to land , seems to have gone insane when I did it 🤣 sounds like you had some interference maybe
I have never had that happen on 4 of my GPS BetaFlight quads. Check settings and do a hover test so the settings are correct for that quad. Is my guess . That is so weird mine land fine.
Follow Dshot’s RUclips video on setting up gps. Most other ones, including Bardwells tend to leave you with the GPS half set up and pretty much have the same issues as you experienced. Following his video step by step will fix all your issues and leave you with a reliable working GPS.
You need to load ardupilot or the naviflight. You can't use beta flight for these DIY builds. Load different firmware. I can post a link for a guy that gives you step by step to make your FPV drone operate like a DJI drone. He even has the follow me functionality working as well as toss to launch as well as full scheduled weighpoint flight. Let me know if you want me to post the link up? 👍
Here is the video of the guy setting up Adupilot instead of betaflight and it makes a FPV drone into DJI like drone with similar functions. It's very detailed and well done like a tutorial. I hope this helps with what you are trying to achieve. I think this is a must if you get into long range flight or you wish you look at something outside of your RC range you can send the quad ahead of you to check something out and return. You may wish to look into auxillary battery power if LR flight is your goal? ruclips.net/video/u_ArriXbrR0/видео.html
@ts13fpv I'm about your age and I am in Australia. I'll be interested to see how you go with possibly following this guy's tutorial? I've ordered a full quad copter auxiliary sensor kit of AliExpress for only $14AUD👍 I'm interested in possibly making a "security drone" for the front door at home like a mobile security camera or something? 😆 I just l like the idea of not being tied to DJI so I am not arbitrarily geolocked out of some area and automatically dobbed on to authorities 🙄 Keep us posted👍
Betaflight has some advantages over ardupilot for quadcopters. Especially if you like to fly your quad yourself and have it fly amazingly well with a user-friendly interface. Don't get me wrong, Ardupilot is great, and I run it on a couple of VTOLs, but for my normal quadcopters, I'll take Betaflight all day.
Enjoyed that... You answered my question at 9 mins. The crawl through the hedge and then realising you didn't need to - classic! Been there with all of it, Betaflight, climbing in hedges! The pylon looks fun for freestyle! Look forward to the trouble shooting. Maybe set max alt lower, just in case? I had my first fail safe before Christmas, and I am still unsure why - wasn't very far from the quad and luckily was proximity flying.
@ that’s interesting! Mine has been fine since, but hadn’t thought on that. Interestingly my VTX doesn’t seem to be doing well, so think that might be the antenna (it was wedged at a 180°)
Hover throttle value…. Past that I got nowt, sorry for your pain but that was a funny video dude, love the editing 😂 but yeah defo interested to see what you do
It was definitely a strange one 🤔 almost like it disarmed. I had the throttle value set to what I thought was correct. Still tinkering . I'll fix it . A least I got a video out of it 🤣
You don't show the Footage right bevore the crash. Do your FC disarm? Are you enable to switch RTH off and regain controlls? Are you able to rearm? I bet you have Issues with GPS (Powerlines?) and/or Baro Altitude. Set your RTH Alt to 5m AGL for testing so you haven't a Stuka-dive, turn your Baro off and fly in a spot without Powerlines.
The dvr stopped recording almost like it had disarmed. I still had video in the goggles and could see it coming down . Got a few things I want to alter and test . I've got another spot that's a lot more open where I can try next time .

@@ts13fpv DAMN YOU DJI!!! RUINING EPIC VIDEOS!!! :D
@chrisalexthomas 🤣 I plan on putting an old runcam orange on for part 2 . At least I'd have some footage if it crashed again .

Thanks man . Yeah i think throttle hover is a big part of it . Hopefully retrying this week 🤞
Mine brand new vapor D6 missed its TOLP by a good distance even with 20+ sats. Might as well have landed in Thornaby rather than Darlington
Doesn’t look set up correctly.
Somethings definitely amiss . I'm gonna go through everything again and double check

Did you not have the DVR of the crash, or did it cut out seconds before?

@ next time!
For me RTH works 95 percent of the time . I think you found the 5 percent 🤣
The return bit works fine 🙂 the landing part is a different story 🤣🤣🤣

Also, you can toss launch your quad with betaflight, too. Bardwell did a video about it a few months ago.

Got a few things to try . Hopefully figure it out . Had a couple of random Failsafes on my 5 inch in the past tured out I had a broken elrs antenna
@ that’s interesting! Mine has been fine since, but hadn’t thought on that. Interestingly my VTX doesn’t seem to be doing well, so think that might be the antenna (it was wedged at a 180°)
hover speed
That was my guess . Have altered it now and need to test again
Hover throttle value…. Past that I got nowt, sorry for your pain but that was a funny video dude, love the editing 😂 but yeah defo interested to see what you do
