Hope there are still people flying, where allowed. Here we have partial lockdown, no gathering or more than 2 people, unless from the same family and home, limited number of customers in shops, to prevent people getting too close to each other, restaurants closed, etc.

Luckily that means it's still ok to go out and fly FPV, as long as you don't break the getting too close to someone else rule. Here's my best flight from yesterday:

I rebuilt my cinewhoop with all of the things! Edit made on my iPhone w GoPro app. Don’t have anything on hand to edit otherwise at the moment, but turned out pretty nifty imo.

Great control and smooth video.


Here's what I've been up to the past few days. First video is a so called "CineWhoop", the HGLRC Veyron 3. No digital FPV, still oldskool 5.8GHz, and straight from the box, some jello and video noise. But might be able to fix that:

First test flight with HGLRC Veyron 3 "CineWhoop" (2 min 11 sec)



Next some parking lot cruising with the Toothpick 2.5, using a frame I had here for over a year or so, combined with AIO camera from an old review sample. Needs some work, the camera isn't perfectly focused maybe, but flies pretty nice:

Toothpick 2.5 flight with new 2S 450mAh Gaoneng battery (4 min 35 sec)



And last, but not least, some more flying with my best Diatone R349:

Here's another with my GepRC Rocket Lite. Just some cruising at the park exploring. I do wish I got the Rocket Plus since the footage from the goggles is not that great. Very fun quad for just exploring and not bothering anyone.

You all have posted some awesome videos.

The golf course closed to figure out how to function in these times. It always looked like a neat place to fly, so I walked in and flew around for a bit. It was fun to see how low I could fly over the terrain. I was flying a diatone gt-r90 with an upgraded camera, a Caddx baby ratel. The weather kinda sucked and it was quite windy. Then there were geese. Also, I managed to hit the same tiny twig twice.

I stuck it together with music and sound effects using DaVinci Resolve. The bird sounds are simulated. I don’t necessarily listen to this type of music, but watching the Video made me want something kinda glitchy and fast. If you don’t like it, hit mute.

Nice vid on that golf course. Here's what I've been working on recently, turning an overweight "Toothpick" Parrot 132 into a much more agile 3 inch flyer. Fitted higher kv HGLRC motors, and moved everything over to a Diatone Cube 339 frame:


First flight with the HGLRC Parrot 132 after conversion to Diatone GTB-339 frame (4 min 32 sec)


More flying with the HGLRC Parrot 132 on Diatone Cube GTB-339 frame (3 min 57 sec)


Between 4 and 5 minutes flight time doing faster flying and acro, and over 7 minutes when cruising around, with the occasional flip or roll. On a 3S 450mAh battery. It used to be able to get up to 9 minutes, but that was with much less performance, and on a 4S 650mAh battery, Now it performs much better, on a much smaller battery, and is one of my current fav 110x motor quads.

Funny you mention it, Solo. My other quad is a GTB339 and I just posted a video on that thread, a few posts after your's. Pretty sweet; looks like it flies nice. I, too, get great flight times. Keep it up.
