I am thoroughly enjoying ripping around with my Meteor 75. It’s the drone I used the most right now. Garden and Park are great to fly it on not too windy days.
A couple of questions:
-
I get the occasional, very brief RX Loss message when I have slight collisions. I’ve also noticed that upon arming, I need to wait for about 1-2 sec until the image in the goggles has turned slightly more colourful. It’s a bit like putting on an ND filter, which I’m not using. It appears as if the O4 module is switching video modes. If don’t wait then the drone takes off and I miss the next second and the thing is already in flight. It’s like a tiny outage. Compared to my Rate W20 O4 Air Wide, I don’t seem to have issues like this. I am wondering whether my recent conversion of the Meteor 75 to Wide angle using the Flywoo Kit has had an effect. I may have not connected something properly or damaged something. I didn’t reapply glue to the connector shoe for the camera module, for example. Any thought what might have caused this?

This is related. I have little blotches and artefacts on the camera image of the Meteor since the conversion to wide. I noticed that the image sensor had some spot and specks on it that I couldn’t remove. By trying to I may have damaged the sensor slightly. Is it possible to only replace the camera module or image sensor? Or do I have to buy a new O4 Lite module? I didn’t think it would bother me as much until I had the comparison to the Rate W20 Wide, which looks pristine and smooth in comparison.
Any hints and thoughts appreciated.
