I love to be able to repairsand fix things. I was always in to RC nitro cars but FPV gave me new skills. During the pandemic I couldn't fly and my PS3 controller battery died. So I solder a plug to the battery wires and used a 1s whoop battery for it and it worked a treat 🎉
hi i got this bundle and its my first drone, i got the goggles and camera connected all fine and i have sort of a connection between the controler and drone. 4 bars come up on the controller when its powered on and my controler says telematry recovered/lost when the drone is powered on or off. But when i move any off the joystics there is nothing. do i have to set up the controls or am i missing a step or what?
Ive connection to my radio master control just fine but i cant connect my walksnail avatar hd goggles l. Ive updated firmware on the goggles using an sd card but i cant work out how to get the files on the drone. I updated firmware using betaflight. I just cant bind the goggles. Ive almost given up trying. Hope you can help.
thanks a lot for this video, at 1:19 min, you say put a file on the onboard board... my problem is that the mac doesn't recognise the drone. i plugged the battery, i tried different usb cables and i can't put anything into the onboard board.
@@Kaikarjuna oh no way that's a bummer. I've spent nearly all day yesterday trying to get this to work. I don't understand how to get the files to the drone and what button to press to bind. I can fly the drone just can't use goggles
Hi Stew, Great video and info on binding your googles and radio to your quad. What you don't have a little switch to solder in place ? lol, Thanks for the video and info.
Hey Stew, thanks for the great videos! Regarding upgrading the firmware I noticed the Avatar Goggles L quick start guide V1.1 says to download firmware “AvatarLite_Gnd_X.X.X.img.” I see this AvatarLite_Gnd firmware file, but I also see the Avatar_Gnd and Avatar_Sky files you mentioned in your video. I do not see an AvatarLite_Sky. Is there a difference in the Lite version vs the files you recommended? Thanks!
This is the video I was looking for! Recently bought the same setup except boxer instead of pocket and I'm having heaps of fun. I am wondering however my radio signal drops before my video signal, this happens around the 100m mark. Is this normal?
Hey Stew! Thanks for the videos - they've been really helpful. I'm planning to get the FPV kit (Mobula 8 + Walksnail Google L + Radio Master Pocket) as you recommended in one of your earlier videos. Could you help me clarify something before I buy? In your link to the Radio Master Pocket, I see the controller set to FCC in the purchase menu, which I understand is the standard used in the U.S. Since I'm in Finland (in the EU), should I choose LBT instead? And if so, will this affect the drone as well? Are there any other options I need to consider? Apologies for the beginner questions - this will be my first FPV kit.
I'm a newbie wanting to get in the hobby and watched many of your videos. You recommend the Mobula 8 in a few videos...are there any that are a little more budget friendly that can still work with the digital Walksnail goggles that you like? Thank you.
I got started recently too. Make sure you triple check everything because your budget will skyrocket before you even realise it. These are big hidden costs, I'm talking about the drone + 2s batteries (I bought 8) goggles + battery for goggle + radio + battery for radio + charger + storage for batteries + xt60 to xt30 + sd card. My total price (mobula included) was about 3-4 times the cost of the mobula8
@@rvdb-123 where did you buy all your stuff, I guess you're in the US? I'm hearing a lot about FPV simulators but can't find much. Are they free? I've never flown one and would like to practice a bit.
Who else turns their radio on by jaming a screw in there to short the terminals....?
I’m trying to buy 2 of these sets currently for myself and my son for Christmas. Thanks!

I bind my ELRS by just power cycling 3 times, then hitting bind on radio. As long as they are both on 3.x, they bind fine.

can u make goggles L and moonlight max range test? or even L range safe test ?

Ok, so maybe the cable to the vtx is bad. Also I see the coaxial cable is partially broken. Do I have to change it?
I'm having a problem with this at the moment. Did you fix the issue. If so do you mind telling me what you did ?
Hey, no I didn't find the solution...and I broke something on the mobula8. Now I have no power and signal on it. I should have bought dji...

Like you bro. I did make fly the drone but never the goggles. Regret of having bought this set.
Hey im planning on buying the walksnail l goggles but im not sure if you can connect it to a betafpv drone?

no. not normal. what is your power level set to on your radio?
@@UAVfutures I tried all the powerlevels and frequency combinations, what eventually solved the issue was downloading an ELRS preset in betaflight

the mob 8 is about as cheap as you can get for digital

I've just been down the same path.
