    Runcam Swift 2 install on Wizard X220... Black screen?

    Luckily Banggood sent me a replacement, which was pretty easy and hassle-free other than sending pictures and videos of the defect. I injured my neck (herniated disc, old man problems) about a month ago, so I've been out of commission for a while. I had my first flying session today, but I'm...

    Insta360 Go: tiny action camera even for whoops and toothpicks

    AFAIK, the GoPro session is discontinued, so this might be a smaller alternative. Amazing that they can make a camera this good, this small. I'm thinking about getting one, although I can't do anything worth filming, I could use it a general camera until I get better at flying. There seems to be...

    Runcam Swift 2 install on Wizard X220... Black screen?

    Thanks, it seems pretty simple by connecting the Yellow, Red, and black wires. I tried with and without the Vbat wire as well. As a test, I uninstalled the Runcam Swift 2 and reinstalled the original camera, which again, worked just fine - So I'm at least doing this part correctly and the...

    Runcam Swift 2 install on Wizard X220... Black screen?

    Hi All, I finally received my new Run Cam Swift 2 upgrade for my Wizard X220. I installed it by de-soldering the old camera connection, and then re-soldered the yellow, red, and black wires in the order shown, as on YouTube. When I power up, my googles finds 5.865 GHz as the ideal channel, but...

    Best strategy? Buying backup copies of one quad, or different types? Or buying spare parts separately?

    When I first started flying, I bought a Eachine Wizard X220, and I quickly (in 10 minutes!) learned that quads break and need to be repaired. After that I decided to buy a second Wizard X220 so that I could cannibalize parts from one quad to repair the other. At this point I am now flying three...

    Where do you like to fly during Lockdown?

    You've got crazy Steel-esque freestyle skills, and you really put them to use with just a couple of trees. I'll have to re-think wooded areas, although probably after I'm better at flying since the bright playground colors help me avoid obstacles.

    LarvaX video breakup... VTX? Antenna?

    Are those the LUMENIER MICRO AXII U.FL 5.8GHZ ANTENNA (RHCP)? Looks really good the way you have it mounted. Wayno mentioned those in another thread, but they were a bit too expensive given I'd probably lose them in a day, but maybe with your e6000 method they wouldn't get lost. If they're...

    Where do you like to fly during Lockdown?

    Despite it being a beautiful day, it was way too windy to fly outdoors. So I rode around trying to see if building structures blocked the wind. Even tall apartment complexes that were surrounded on most sides by buildings had gaps that allowed and maybe even funneled in lots of wind. Tunnels...

    LarvaX video breakup... VTX? Antenna?

    Cheers, I removed the hood and made sure the antenna was securely attached. It seems to snap-lock into place. (I'll get the e6000 either online or see if the local craft store is open if that might help to lock it down all the way.) I've still been able to fly my LarvaX (not too aggressively)...

    LarvaX video breakup... VTX? Antenna?

    Hi All, a few days back my antenna popped off my LarvaX. I put it back on and it seemed to fly good as new, and then I had a light bong on the underside battery, and immediately the video started breaking up. Now when I fly I get video breakup, blackline static, and a bit of a jump (image moves...

    Am I charging my little 2s and 3s lipos too quickly?

    Cheers, I've actually got the E600 search in another tab. Do I put some around it after making the connection, or dab some onto the antenna end and the make the connection? Also, will I be able to remove it to make repairs?

    Where do you like to fly during Lockdown?

    After a long wait, I finally got some batteries for my LarvaX, and it is so fun to fly! The playground that was too small for me to fly my WizardX220, is the perfect size for a toothpick... I'm in flying heaven now! There's a ton of obstacles to fly around, eventually when my skill level is high...

    Am I charging my little 2s and 3s lipos too quickly?

    I found it! I went back to the playground and carefully looked and somehow managed to find it. I popped it back on, and I also got the DVR to work!

    Am I charging my little 2s and 3s lipos too quickly?

    Cheers, I still haven't decided what charger to upgrade too, so I'm still using the basic one at the moment. So just wanted to check that I can use this one, at least until I upgrade my charger. (But now I've got to replace the antenna. Unfortunately the DVR didn't record, because I actually...

    Replacing the VTX antenna on Happymodel LarvaX?

    Does anyone know where to find a replacement antenna for the Happymodel Diamond_VTX (for the LarvaX quadcopter)? Mine seems to have popped out after a small tumble... Well, I'll be buying some RG178 antennas for the Happymodel Diamond_VTX (on my LarvaX quadcopter) to replace mine that must have...
