What frequencies were you both on ???

The dji blasts out of the goggles when it switches on. If you’re near your buddy and he’s in the air, its brown trousers time

5.8 for me - Steve changed it swiftly to 2. something and it was fine after that.
Wait until you see the goggle footage and you’ll see why I shat myself… almost

Really does mate. Was a very frightening few moments

Surely only half as bad as last week when we both overpowered you :wink:

At least that time I managed to fly on. This time was a little different

It was on auto frequency. 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz auto switching. (Ocusync 3)

While Howard was flying with his goggles on I noticed it said 5.8ghz on one off his antenna’s.

This was after he had the trouser moment. The penny dropped and I turned off the 5.8ghz transmission from my goggles and problem solved.

I will add this was purely accidental on your part mate.

The result of another hard landing :frowning:

Get the BN-180 it has a smaller form factor and can be tucked away easier :+1:t2:

No worries if there is no other damage you can solder some thin wires direct to those four pads behind.
If you need the pin out details or some help just shout up

Oh crap. That’s whats left of the whole quad? Sorry mate

It’s in my ‘box of bits for repair at some point in time’ :slight_smile:

Where abouts did you have the GPS unit mounted on your quad Martin?

And what frame was it on? I can design and print you a mount for it if you want?

Like the one I designed and printed for my wind5:

It hangs out the back in a 3D printed mount - no space for it anywhere else - iFlight Titan DC2

Oh bugger that’s pretty similar to mine :grimacing: lol I’ll have to crash carefully :grin:

As @notveryprettyboy pointed out to me when I was building my toothpick you’d want to cover the top of that GPS as the factory calibration involves scratches on the top surface so if it gets scratched in a crash it can also stop it working. Easiest way is to just wrap it in some electrical tape :+1:t2:

This is why I prefer the BN-180 as its tiny lol
