Rare Bear FPV, meet and crash, 2 FunjetUltra mishaps

In preparation for some FPV fun at spontaneous meetups with my friends I converted my fast reno racer (the F8F Rare Bear from E-flite) to DJI FPV (with a simple backpack which I tested also on my EasyStar). The DJI Backpack is a super easy solution to get almost any plane ready for FPV. What I learned the hard way: the FRSky 2.4Ghz RX in combination with my new TX16S (and it's internal multi module) is not a trustworthy one... (there is a small chance that my ESC's bec locked up - but I don't think so) So from now on I will stick to Crossfire - also for planes and just use a 6ch adapter for the conventional RC stuff (where you don't just connect RX/TX pins to a UART ;)

There's more FPV Plane stuff coming up - been busy with iNav setup on my MiniTalon - will test it more today. Also upcoming: Lipo, LiIon testing for a 7" setup (tested a lot of packs already). These longer projects mean that I get to do less videos - but once they are done I hope they are of more value ;) I stand for HONEST reviews and opinions!

Maidening hard and 5 longrange DIVES at the same time! (FPV Meet)

Met with TJ-FPV again (like in my last video Winghunters). This was when TJ-FPV decided he needs a proper wing - Rene helped him setup the iNav build and now they maidened these planes. Since the weather was great a few other pilots met us there as well - also trying to test their wings ;)

When they saw the tempting mountains on the horizon we also had to drive there as well - so this was basically 2 FPV meetings on one day.

On the 2nd location (3:05) we were 5 DJI FPV pilots and ultimatly flew quite far out to meet at the summit's cross of one of my fav spots. First I was sceptic and only used my goggles for audience mode, but then we flew off into the distance, 5 copters at the same time (all DJI digital, 25mbit mode) and had 0 problems with video! Of course there were some mishaps with tree branches ;) and some close calls... Last week I already posted the short from the insane recovery of Chris' scraggle incident ;) And even when the sun was down, we didn't wanna stop - a tiny wing had to be chased ;) ●▬▬▬LINKS▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Chris: IG: https://www.instagram.com/chriskuchner NappyFPV: IG: https://www.instagram.com/nappyfpv Pascal IG: https://www.instagram.com/Pascal_S92

BetaFPV ELRS Modules

BetaFPV sent these TX modules for a closer look - and I was curious how they look like on the spectran V6 (Aaronia). This way it is very easy to see and understand the difference between 50hz and 500hz. This should help you decicde which rate to use for best performance (range or latency).

Chimera7 WINTER DIVES - is bigger better?

Finally put this copter to the test. Big mountains, bigger dives! I'm VERY happy with the result - let me know how YOU like it.

Since this is one of the best spots (which are within reasonable driving distance) I've been here quite often over the years. Lots of nice videos from here - reaching 11years in the past ;)

Last dive here with Chimera5 here with T-Jay FPV (and his Chim7) and my Rekon6 Same location but with 5inch freestyle drone (Sector5) ► very cool session with the Sector5 on the west side of this wall ...a bit older? 2014?

Relaxed scenery surfing with my Chimera7

These were 4 flight-sessions in early Feb '22 testing out the new copter, more important the best 4k cam for cinematic shots. Would have loved to use the DJI A2 more - but it's very sensitive to jello (which I cannot completly get rid of on this copter - and others have the same issue).

Looks like Gopro is still king in hiding jello.

Stay tuned for a pretty nice Dive at the mountains next up! So happy with how this system works now!

Thanks for watching and commenting, greets, Mario

Scary long dive thru clouds... (and fix Jello)

This flight session was urgently needed because I got a new copter and after the nice wing-chase I couldn't reeally fly it in the bad weather. Since the wing video showed some jello (vibration wave effects on video) I wanted to try and see if the new "Telesin" frame mount for the DJI Action 2 would improve things (because the original magnetic mount has some play).

New mount? NO, doesn't change anything... Different settings (30/60 fps, rock steady vs "just" steady) - NO - still jello. Final solution to be jello free? (be surprised - or not - at the end ;) ●▬▬▬LINKS▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● HQProps (tho I don't know yet if they are better!): https://bit.ly/3gb1m8A Telesin Frame mount: https://bit.ly/3rdfZ1w last video with Wing-Chase: https://youtu.be/Rt37aFeR7Dw my DJI Action 2 review: https://youtu.be/cBm5-nHy36I my Gopro7 video where I found out how good it's against jello!: https://youtu.be/1Cc26Grjmc4 ●▬▬▬EQUIPMENT▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Filmed with: Sony A7c, DJI Action 2, Gopro7 black, edited with Premiere Pro ●▬▬▬♫MUSIC▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Parallax - Luwaks Amber Lights - Chill Cole I use EPIDEMIC SOUND, get your account here (affiliate): https://bit.ly/3p6OGE0 ╔═╦╗╔╦╗╔═╦═╦╦╦╦╗╔═╗ ║╚╣║║║╚╣╚╣╔╣╔╣║╚╣═╣ → http://goo.gl/szFJv ╠╗║╚╝║║╠╗║╚╣║║║║║═╣ (best way to support me!) ╚═╩══╩═╩═╩═╩╝╚╩═╩═╝ (¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-RCSchim-.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)

Wing chased by two Chimera 7

This was my first day of testing and flying my new Chimera7. Worked really well and later a friend with a wing joined us - right into the epic golden hour - great FPV session - hope you like it - visit T-Jay FPV's channel https://bit.ly/3H440sz and thanks to Rene for letting us chase his ARwing!

Have to tweak the settings of DJI A2 a bit more - or use the Gopro7 on this larger copter (to get rid of some jello).

what I liked about the TX16s the most...

Got this nice radio for review and instantly installed EdgeTX on it - see why...

RF in 3D: Analog vs DJI digital Video

One of the suggestions from the 1st "RF in 3D" video was: compare analog with digital video transmission. In this video you will hopefully understand better why DJI (and other digital video transmissions) can look so much better and how they achieve it! Analog is relativly easy to understand (works like your 1950ties analog TV) although I simplified it: it's not only FM but rather the color part is phased in as well). Digital on the other hand is quite complex and we need to know a few basic RF principles until we can "understand" the block of radio waves used by DJI and how it works:

DJI HDL (our Caddx Vista/Airunit RF spec): OFDM, 256QAM? or 64QAM 79.9999ms sync

ASK (amplitude shift keying) + PSK (phase shift keying) = QAMxx many spikes (64 or 256) on a grid that can transmit data simultaneous... After all the research I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't decode the "spikes" myself with the spectran - but either my knowledge isn't sufficient (I'm not an RF engineer), or we don't know the correct modulation parameters, the sync time...

how you RF Signals look like (Crossfire, FrSky, Futaba with Aaronia Spektran V6)

If you ever wanted to know how RF signals of popular protocols look like in 3D check out this video made with the Aaronia Spektran V6 (a pro grade RF spektrum analyzer). I was curios how the different protocols achieve their properties (long range?, fast refreshrate / low latency). There will be more videos of this kind as soon as I get more RXs bound to different protocols (like ELRS for sure). If you want some facts or numbers to be checked - just let me know in the comments! Greets and happy 2022, Mario
