@@testshoot Thanks for watching and commenting, amigo. I'm digging your channel. 🤠👍

I was reading 21.6v, so yeah, 3.6v/cell or so. I'm typically looking to land when I read 21.** , because it can take me a while to land softly...🤔😑 I can get 5 to 7 minutes of flight time out of these 1300mAh, depending on how aggressively I fly. Thanks for watching and commenting, Tommy. 🤠👍

Thanks for watching and commenting, BurdFam. Yeah, it's fun to test the range once in a while. 1.5 miles seems to be about the max with this current setup. The VTX and receiver were doing well, but I was concerned with the battery reserve. I was doing a lot of math in my head...🤔😬 I may strap on an additional battery in 2P configuration and try again but I don't know if it's worth the stress 😅. I'm not too concerned with getting maximum range, just mildly curious. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

Thanks for watching and commenting, Hobbs. I think long-range exploration might be best left to your Mini 4 Pro...🤔 You have crazy long flight times and solid video and control links with that bird. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@HubsanChoice Ha! Yeah, that landing left a lot to be desired...🤔🙃

@@Sonic_Ox thanks bro👊 I’m getting the DJi neo on Friday 😁 that’s gonna be fun flying small gaps with😊 I like your videos. It’s fun to see you trying new stuff pushing yourself to the limit.👊😎 keep going brother😊🙏

I'll be interested to hear your opinion on the Neo as compared to your Avata2. You create WONDERFUL stuff! Happy flying, my friend. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox sure thing buddy, I will let you know 😊thanks bro👊😎

Thanks for watching, TS! I don't think I'll ever get bored with this hobby. There is ALWAYS something new to learn, and you see improvements almost immediately. Have a great evening, amigo.🤠👍

I absolutely can, Hobbs! Thanks for watching, and thanks for the constructive input. I'm always looking to improve. Congrats on your new acquisition of the Neo! I think you should name it Mr. Anderson (Thomas Anderson from the Matrix movies was "Neo" 😆) I think that quad might be "The One" ...🤔🤭 Happy flying, my friend. 🫡 🍻

I think so, too. Especially if you get decent performance. The price is certainly attractive. I hope you have a BLAST with that thing. "Keanu" might be a good name, too...🤔😆 Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

Maybe a little third person view from a side camera on the next lift off...🤔🤗🙏

@@Sonic_Ox a great week to you too, my friend👊😊

Thanks, Tommy. Yeah, I rarely stretch the legs, but OX-7 can really scream. I've had her over 60 mph, not even diving. It's cool too that if I concentrate on flying slowly, I can get about 8 minutes in the air on a 1300mAh lipo! OX-7 is a pretty versatile air frame. I love it. Thanks for watching and commenting, Tommy. I really value your input. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

Ha! You're right about the batteries. It is bare bones, but I don't like having a bunch of LiPos sitting around. With a small group, I feel like I can monitor their health more closely. When they start to fail, I can replace them quickly enough. Usually, within a few days from Amazon. I keep the dead ones in a steel ammo can until I can dispose of them properly. It's hard to find a recycler near me that will take them 😕. Thanks for the kind words, Bart. I get a lot of comments about the sky around here in videos and photographs. It's interesting how the sky is so different in different places. I've lived in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, California, and Arizona. The skies here in Arizona are by far the most unique and interesting. I don't know the physics behind it, but the colors amaze me. Especially during the monsoon season when there's more moisture in the air. Spectacular. I hope you're off work on this Labor Day. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@TommyTester Thanks for watching and commenting, Tommy. Those folks are moving. Those are "Pods". The company drops them off so you can fill them with your belongings, then they pick them up and deliver them to your new place where you unload them. I've never used the service, but it seems like a pretty slick way to move. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox Ah, makes sense. You might need one of those for your FPV stuff when your wife kicks you out! LOL

Ha! You might be right, Tommy. My monthly hobby budget is only $100. I routinely exceed it, which aggravates the missus...🤔🤭

@@Sonic_Ox HAHAHA. My trick when I write checks for stuff I want, I write on the memo line "Gift for wife." She's on to me now I think.

Hahaha. I think the missus would sniff that out right away...🤔😆 First of all, I hardly ever write checks anymore. Most of my toys come from Amazon or other online retailers. She can view the credit card activity in real time 😬😆

@@Dorff_Meister Thanks for watching, Dorff. I hope your travels are going well. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox We are on an Alaskan cruise. A couple times I've been flying in in the sim (Velocidrone) and have had people come and start an extended conversation about it. Fun stuff! Have you started Acro?

@Dorff_Meister I hope you're enjoying Alaska. I spent a month working in Anchorage about 30 years ago. Beautiful place. I even rented a car and drove to Homer. I fell in love with Soldotna. I haven't been back but have considered a cruise with the missus. I have a niece who is a cruise ship captain in Alaska during the summer and in Florida during the winter. Maybe she can hook us up with a good deal. I practice in acro mode once in a while, but you can't call what I do "acro." Just trying not to crash really...🤔😆 I don't really have aerobatic aspirations, so I don't work at it too hard. I would like to add a flip or roll here and there to make my videos a little more interesting, but it's still a pretty white knuckle endeavor for me. I hate expensive repairs 😆.

@@Sonic_Ox I don't necessarily fly Acro for tricks, but for the control. Flying Angle feels awkward after learning Acro and because angle mode videos are more prone exhibiting "snap back" if you aren't careful about stick position, which can look odd. In acro, I only use right stick inputs if I'm changing direction/ banking/ etc., so I don't need to be constantly holding the stick. I do still fly angle indoors because acro can get really fast really quick, but I hope to get a better handle on indoor acro this fall with my Meteor65 or similar.

All valid points. I will continue acro practice as my goal of smooth, cinematic flights will benefit greatly as acro becomes second nature. Thanks for watching, Dorff. I really value your input. I hope you're enjoying your trip. Safe travels, amigo. 🫡 🍻

@burdfamfpv Thanks for watching and commenting BurdFam! Yeah, so far, it's better reception than the original. I don't think I got below 20 MBs on the OSD. That route puts me below 10 regularly with the original antenna. I'm pretty pleased so far. At less than $20 for two units, I feel like it's a pretty good value, too.🤠👌 Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

Hey Bart, I've got an IT question for you. I'm considering external ssd storage options mainly for drone video. I use about 1TB per year. I'm looking at 1TB units for around $100 ($80 - $100 depending on retailer and incentives. ) I'm also looking at NVMe enclosures which make a 1TB stick a little cheaper (after you already own the enclosure). Then there's always NAS storage options and cloud storage options. Neither of which I'm really considering due to price and unneeded features. I don't need to access files from other networked devices for example. Also, I have no desire to pay for a subscription storage solution. What are your thoughts as an IT professional on external storage solutions?

@@Sonic_Ox I'm happy to help First question, are you using a laptop for editing or desktop? I have gone done this road a couple of times since starting this hobby. I was capturing footage with my mavic 3 at 120fps and the files were piling up quickly. I looked at raid storage and large SSDs etc, and it was all too expensive, and mostly unnecesary for my needs. What I ended up with is using a 1TB nvme drive for my operating system, and davinci resolve (c drive), and then I found a 15TB enterprise grade spinning hard drive for about $200 (seagate has an external 14tb drive for less than $200) I have a usb 3 external drive holder where you can stick any hard drive into it easily and swap them at will, it's not enclosed. I use the big spinner for all of my long term storage, music, movies, drone footy etc... I also put a 15TB hard drive in my desktop. So now, I leave my footy files on my fast nvme drive, and gyroflow them, and then I move them all to the big slower drive. I open them off of the big drive in Davinci, but my davinci uses the ssd for catalog, proxy, and working drive so it runs fast while editing. I also export my output files to the ssd, and then copy them to their final destination back on the big spinner drive. Once a week I sync all my big internal spinner to my external spinner (for backup). So in summary, for the best performance and least expensive, I use a combo of ssd and SATA HDD to accomplish what I need. Will it work for you? I don't see why not, but your desires might differ from my own. IMHO, trying to use SSD/NVME for long term storage is way too expensive and completely unnecessary. I hope that all made sense ;) i'm looking forward to hearing what you decide, and LMK if you have any questions at all. Oh, and I've had the best luck with seagate enterprise drives over the years. other brands are fine too, but the quality control on the Seagate drives has proven to be superior in my experience. Just overall less failures. But I'm sure there are plenty who would disagree with me and have had different experience, so it's not scripture or anything :)

@@Sonic_Ox GD lol, I wrote a very long explanation to this but don't see it posted :( I will summarize what my scenario. I bought a 1TB NVME for my computer (c drive) I run my davinci working folders off of that. I also export my davinci finished files to c drive, and load and export my gyroflow files to it as well. I place my gyroflowed files on my Seagate NAS 16TB SATA HDD (spinner) (but the drive isn't connected through network storage, it's just connected through SATA internally. I open the those files in Davinci, but they get proxied to my NVME drive, so essentially, it works off my SSD even though it's opened from the SATA drive. That way my davinci catalog is still connected to the SATA files. Ultimately, all of my stored files live on the SATA HDD. SSD/NVME is way too expensive for storage, and there isn't any real benefit IMHO. It would be nice, but not worth the $. I also have an external 16TB drive that I sync with my internal once per week for backup. I keep all of my music, movies, tv shows, and data on that drive too, so I like to back it up. I've always found Seagate to be the most reliable with the best quality control. Especially their NAS and Enterprise drives. Other brands are good too, but I've run into more failures with others than I have with Seagate. I'm sure that others will disagree, probably due to their own experiences. Always personal opinion, but I've built massive storage solutions for multiple companies and always have had the best long term success using Seagate. I'm looking forward to hearing what you decide on. Feel free to ask any questions at all, I'm happy to help. Good luck on your storage quest, amigo🍻

Thanks for watching Phillip. I'll check out your channel, too. I have a good friend from Peru but I have never visited the country. Have a great weekend, amigo. 🫡 🍻.

@@TommyTester Thanks for watching, Tommy!

Ha! They aren't the least bit concerned about the quads 😆. I don't want to disturb them, though. I don't like to fly too close to wildlife either. We have a lot of Pronghorn Antelope and Mule Deer around here. I avoid flying near them.🦌 Have a great day, amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox LOL, I didn't want anyone's expectations to be too high for that vid😁 step by step, we're all improving each and every flight. 🙏👊

Well, I dig the journey. I love to see my friends in the hobby grow and progress. I think that's why I prefer the long, sweeping, cinematic flights to erratic flippity floppity. I appreciate the skill of freestyle aerobatics, but it's not calming to me like smooth flying set to music is. I like seeing snippets of the daily lives of friends in far-off places. I enjoy seeing the gear that other pilots use and how they use it. I like seeing skills and styles develop. I love the hobby, but I think the friendships that develop are even more enjoyable. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@@Sonic_Ox I couldn't agree more 👍👊
