After adding music to my last vid, I think I too prefer to hear just the raw motors/props.
I think the only audio I will edit from now on will be to turn it down a bit.

Have you flown a helicopter lately?
I don't think I have touched mine since I have had a mini.

I've not touched a heli in quite a while. LOS doesn't appeal at all, I keep looking at the 550 and hearing voices, sell it, get a blackout 330 and long range radio gear......

I look at my 500 with similar thoughts.

I enjoy my 250 dfc as much now as I did before the quad, mainly cos it takes more finesse than the quad,

I love my helis:)

As you all know I have become increasingly addicted to mini quad fpv. All my purchases in the beginning were to keep it cheapish incase I didn't like it.
So over time my airframe and electronics have been upgraded, well I thought it was about time that I looked into a better set of goggles. So after a few days research and watching reviews I made a decision and ordered some new goggles and a few accessories.

Well then, I guess I have "triple trouble"...I love flying my planes, I love flying my heli's, and I know I'm gonna love my lil quad. Then, add in the mix of FPV on my planes and my quad...psh....I've got it bad!! lol

Really cool, Dan! Very nice!!!

Awesome Dan, now that is addiction.... Lol

I've just unpacked the goggles and installed the 5.8g vrx module (Trinity head tracking module is factory installed) connected the antennas to the goggles and existing 250mw vtx installed on the quad. And fired it all up.

The difference in goggles is unbelievable it could just be because of the large screens but the image looks far sharper.

Can't wait to fly these bad boys going to get some sleep might get a couple of packs in this afternoon, I'll post some footage off the dvr if I can get it to record.

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 8:44 am

That's something that I'd like to get....a dvr. I've seen a lot of people use the dvr's in case the signal is lost, for whatever reason. The dvr will prevent viewing monitors from going to a blue screen. Typically, the blue screens take a lot longer to reboot after the signal is regained. The dvr will keep a signal going to the viewing monitor and instead of getting the blue screen, it creates a snowy screen. With the snowy screen, when signal is reattained, the picture comes back quite quickly.

I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming flight videos!

A set of those is on my shopping list as soon as I can sell something.
Anyone want a cheap tractor?

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 10:58 am

brilliant spec on those googles, just googled them, love the built in DVR capabilities, very handy... looking forward to seeing some vid footage..

Post by **danhampson** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 4:37 pm

I didnt get early and its pouring down so no flight footage today.

The rest of the video gear arrived this morning too. The 600TVL Sony Super HAD CCD Camera with 2.8mm lens and lenses (2.1mm and 3.6mm).

Ive got the camera and VTX install and tested indoors every thing seems to be working fine. And ive also updated the DVR to the latest firmware, so im waiting for the weather now.

I liked the idea of the DVR for model recovery and also will be quite interesting to throw a bit of DVR footage in my flight videos so you see what i see.

Have you told the Mrs??? LOL nice one Dan the 600vtx is my next purchase:) but i am going the cheap route:) Lost 3 on ebay so far:( again HK was the cheapest. Cant wait to see the video:)

KevG · Post by **KevG** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 5:29 pm

HK are cheaper most of the time for Fatshark bits' ebay has gone mad, I was bidding on an ORX rx the other day HK price £8 ebay it went for £10.50

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 5:36 pm

Its mad how people are prepared to pay very near the price of a new part for a second hand one on ebay?? or more???

Stambo · Post by **Stambo** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:16 pm

A lot of people just don't do their research, then get caught up in the auction and just have to win.
