    Im a proper noob (2nd week flying), been flying the Happymodel Mobula 8 Digital HD with Walksnail, Walksnail Avatar Goggles L and Radiomaster Pocket. It's great for flying around inside my house, out the windows and back in through door (been practising in Horizon mode). Recommended by UAV Futures. Total cost was around £450 all in. ERLS 2.4g compatible. I'm flying in London, and sadly one crash into outside window frame the the horizon went all wonky and I lost control and it flew off, lost signal and it is in someones garden somewhere - and annoyingly my card wasnt in my goggles for me to review the footage! Lots of mistakes to learn from. Got another on order from Banggood. Wont make that mistake again I hope. Putting the hours in on Liftoff in Acro (which I should have done more of to be honest). Having fun with new hobby so far! (Despite the above cock up)

      Don't give up! You keep getting better and better :-) and the quads will get bigger as you gain more confidence. I've also had my eye on the Radiomaster Pocket - currently using the Zorro. How happy are you with the Pocket? Are there any things that bother you about it?

    I also started with the Cetus X, its pretty decent but mine had overheating issues. How do you like the Drashark?? I am thinking about getting it or something similar

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  16 дней назад +1

      Yes I know the overheating problems if you had it disarmed for too long.
      I like my Drashark, but have a look at the other comments below this video. Many have suggested their favorites among the whoops.

    I got a 2nd hand Cetus X ELRS kit discounted off the FaceBook marketplace when I was travelling through a warm country and needed an FPV fix. It was discounted because the VTX was almost burnt out. Luckily a local store had a camera module in stock and the price wasn't horrible. This was the BF version. Had to take off soon to avoid overheating in 35degC weather. Fun park cruiser, way too overpowered for indoor flights, and it catches breezes. So, it's probably not my first choice of learner drone either.

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  17 дней назад

      I think the BF version is definitely more fun. However, I wouldn't recommend the Cetus version to anyone.
      The drone itself is really fun and I got into the hobby because of it. However, you can hardly reuse any parts.

    huhu help me i cant bind my cetus x to my googles :.( whats the problem?

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  16 дней назад

      Try long pressing the S-Button on top of it. This will process a search for all frequencies. (Analog doesn't need binding)

    I have the Cetus X betaflight version and it is a great drone for practicing. I think your main issue is going for the non betaflight version because other than that it is a great drone.

      I had also considered the Mobula8 in the past. But I could never really decide between Mobula 6, 7 or 8. Have you been able to test them all and can perhaps share your experience with us?

      ​@@fpv-geek As a complete noob I bought a mob8 after about 15 simulator hours. It's fun in larger areas but I've found it way to fast around the house and my small yard as a beginner. From what i understand the mob6/7 are better suited to smaller spaces while still having enough punch for some outdoors too. I wanted the mob8 as I plan on converting it to a Crux3 when I'm more competent and all I'll need to do so is a frame, some motors and props :-)

      @@samcacc..03 This is consistent with my experience with the Cetus X and LiteSilver firmware.
      You can cruise around, but even flips and rolls are damn hard.
      Or if you dive, the firmware simply disarms and you can only arm again when you're on the ground.

    How did you get the video to get so clear and actually good quality?

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  6 дней назад

      I always look for the best channel. You can still adjust the camera focus on the camera itself. This also helps enormously if it has become misaligned.
      However, I have to say that the video quality of the Cetus X and the Drashark are worlds apart. Drashark is much better.
