Thanks pal

I found that it made more sense in my backwards mind. Pull back to drop the front of the drone and forward to lift it
Each to there own I suppose

Can I ask, why does FPV Manual Mode have to mess up perfectly normal and easily understood controls… 
Laugh away everyone!

Ive just put this on the tv to watch properly.

@ianinlondon gotta say I was impressed with that. Turning is by far the most difficult thing along with the throttle control to maintain altitude while moving forward or turning.
When a quadcopter moves forward the thrust keeping it in the air is no longer all pushing downward so to keep altitude more throttle is needed to make up for the loss of downward thrust when pitched forward. A GPS drone makes this adjustment for you with precision.
Turning requires yaw and roll at the same time in the same direction and again feathering the throttle the maintain the downward thrust you lose while turning. The more you practice the more natural it begins to feel 
Keep it up and you’ll be flying manual like a pro in no time!

Just wait until you turn off the tilt limit.

Best not get used to that then 
Just checked the settings in the drone/goggles and there is only mode 1, 2 or 3. No option to customise to anything you want.
Ok. Best put it back and just get used to it. 
You can see a certain trait… veering to the right and descending into a fall… That’s what I’m working on fixing…

With one of your camera drones practice doing coordinated turns using the YAW and Roll controls instead of just using the Yaw control. You want the drone to bank rather than doing a flat turn. In manual mode the quad is pitched forward so when you only apply just Yaw to turn the quad will roll in the opposite direction. This is because there’s no auto level to assist and compensate for the unwanted roll. It’s not just quads but it’s the same with fixed wing models also. You can get model planes that only have rudder and elevator controls but they will have tilted upward wings, known as dihedral, which by design is self levelling. To make a model aircraft do a turn without losing or gaining height you have to use both the Yaw (Rudder) and Roll (ailerons) together.

Of course… hence my constant diving when turning…
Cheers for that

Managed to record the goggles whilst doing a strong Wind Test video this morning…
104 Kmh or 64.6 mph… 
Where’s that Speed Maniac thread?

@ianinlondon see thread here. You’ll see you can now get the speed off your logs if you upload to Airdata.
I can see this particular record changing hands pretty rapidly, so get in!

Just yesterday I sent AirData 2 files as they asked me for examples, as they were still deciphering them…
Just wondering, where are the flight logs stored when there is no phone attached? They don’t seem to be stored on the Goggles sd card, so do they get lost?
They were in the sd card. I connected the phone to the goggles, (EDIT,I had the drone turned on also) then went to the fly app and then back out of it to profile and then more.
It started to upload to DJI and let it upload.
Then I opened the Airdata HD sync app and told it to upload. Hey presto all now on Airdata

Had my first very tentative flight with the FPV today, in full coward mode with just a very slow flight round the garden reaching a maximum speed of 2.83 mph 
It was basically a test to see if the thing worked.
A couple of observations it’s a noisy beast but not as noisy as I expected. I think my old phantom was louder but I wasn’t screaming around the sky. The controller is heavier than expected but not a problem.
My big worry about the goggles proved to be unfounded, I wear variofocals and really didn’t fancy wearing them under the goggles but my eyesite can’t be too back as the goggles are perfectly clear without glasses

This worked for me as well!
