It is insanely durable. I have unarmed it from 100ft up, dropped to short grass and was fine. I have flown it head on into a goal post, one motor got a bit bent put I pliered it back into shape. My soldering is the only vulnerable part. It is VERY fast though - as a beginner, I think I...

I've just discovered that the carbon fiber that my drone is made of - I did not know that! I think it's highly likely I shorted something on it...!

I'm using a 3S - this was fine for the Fury F3 and from the sheet that ships with it, it can take 2S-6S!

I have a Diatone GT-m3. I decided to upgrade the FC to a Fury F4 so I could have an altimeter. I have an FRSKY R-XSR ULTRA MINI and a TBS Unify Pro HV 7P. I connected the Fury to my TBS ESC and I got the familiar 3 beeps, followed by 2 beeps, and configured the Fury via Betaflight conf - so...

thanks for the confirmation - sounds like we need to go shopping :(

I am helping a friend get his Diatone GT-m3 off the ground. It's working for LOS flying but we're getting nothing from his VTX TBS Unify. It's getting 5v supply OK, but picking nothing up from the goggles and getting nothing from the LEDs, when pushing the button or not. Is it hosed, or are...

So I've been loving my Diatone GT m-3 but today it wouldn't connect to Betaflight :( Well, it connected, but then I got "no configuration was received within 10 seconds, communication failed " and the Betaflight controls don't come up. Any ideas anyone?? Also, when I power it on with the...

Hiya thanks for following up. I've had some more flights and answered some of my own questions. I've bought a £2 mic which I'm hoping to solder on to my TBS Unify, but can't find where to solder it. The flying is still very patchy. I've got a liftoff simulator to practice on to. Main problems...

Thanks, maybe I can hook into the camera? I can't help thinking there must be an easy way to get audio?

I have a Diatone GT m3 which has TBS Unify VTX and I have a simple mic which I just want to connect in to the audio input on the Unify so my videos have some sound in. I'm not trying to use smartAudio or anything clever, but despite checking the user guide, I cannot figure out where I would...

OK! :) The VAS with UFL looks simplest. I think I read there is RHCP and LHCP variants - do you know how I can tell if the RHCP will be OK wit my goggles?

OK that makes sense, thanks - so the goggles have got what they need by the sounds of things but I have the opportunity for more range by switching to another aftermarket. Something like the VAS, I'm not sure how I would mount that on my Diatone chassis and I guess I would need a lead to go...

I am new to FPV (and drones!) but am loving it. These goggle are great - but I don't think I am taking advantage of the "Diversity" receiver to maximize my video range? Does anyone know about Diversity? I have a Diatone GT M3 drone which has a TBS Unify VTX with just a simple whip antenna - I...

Wow - getting this Diatone off the ground was way more involved than I had thought, but totally worth it - learning curve steeper than my take-offs! Random questions are: 1. Sometimes the RX takes much longer to lock / doesn't lock without a power cycle. Normal or change something!? 2. When...

AWesome!! Thanks so much - I am setup!!! I think the only oustanding issue is that I can't see any AUX channels responding to my Turnigy switches.
