2024.08.17 - Chill Forest Cruise - Now with 20% more DOGGO!
Hey folks!
So I had originally planned on hitting up the same park as last video to lean more into proximity stuff. Turned out that I must've done something weird to my tune because as soon as I punched the throttle on my first pack the drone disarmed due to flyaway failsafe and ate shit against the ground so hard that it broke the camera mount on my 85. Going to have to work out a temporary solution but I don't know if I want to actually spend money on fixing since I may just upgrade to a larger drone. Idk yet.
Sort of bummed that I didn't get a chance to rip yesterday, so instead I am putting up this session that originally was just going to live in my personal log. This is from a short bike excursion with my girl and her parents not too long ago.
Watch 'til the end for adorable Tilly footage :P

Hey everyone! Took the day off of work to handle some medical stuff today. After my appointment, I decided to make a pit stop to rip a few packs at a local park. Here's some last pack magic for you all - you'll know it when you see it lol // Drone: BetaFPV Meteor85 w/ Foxeer Lollipop VTX antenna Batteries: Tattu 450mAh 2S 75C Radio Controller: Radiomaster TX12 MKII ELRS Goggles: BetaFPV VR03 w/...

Hey folks! Can't believe it's already been two weeks since the last time I uploaded. Between work, domestic obligations, and prepping for this next semester of my software dev degree, I've been absolutely strapped for free time. This last weekend I got a chance to touch a little grass so I took an opportunity to hit up a local bike path for a nice little 16 mile round trip dealio. Nothing crazy...
2024.07.17 - Finally Fixed my Video Range Issues
มุมมอง 563 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey folks! I've been flying a ton but have been hesitant to post footage, as I had some pretty severe video range issues after my last big repair. After a whole lot of troubleshooting, I determined that I needed to replace my RX antenna and tightened up some solder joints on my VTX, which I took care of over this last weekend. Big upgrade to range - now I just need grab a shorter VTX antenna to...
2024.06.23 - Camera Feed Cut Out Mid-Flight #shorts
มุมมอง 1174 หลายเดือนก่อน
Was at the in-laws' place over the weekend. Sunday morning, I took an opportunity to rip around their back yard a bit before heading home. On my third pack, just as I blip the throttle to clear some trees in the cul-de-sac, my video feed cuts out. Didn't get a chance to really look at the issue until Monday afternoon. Turned out the ground wire from the camera to the VTX had snapped. Easy fix, ...
2024.06.19 - Closing In On the Right Tune
มุมมอง 1504 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey folks! Some after-work rippage from the other day. Flew five packs with an emphasis on trying to induce error overcorrections on steep dives but the adjustments I've made to my Meteor85's PID tune over the last week seem to have helped immensely. Wish I'd have been set up like this in Chicago, but that just means more opportunity for next time. Anyway, session turned out to be a lot of fun,...

มุมมอง 1804 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey folks! Lady and I went out to Chicago yesterday for her little brother's graduation from DePaul. Before leaving town, we thought we'd check out Millennium Park and maybe sneak in a flight at the Bean™. Due to the ubiquitous security presence, there was no way that was going to happen, so we found a comfortable spot nearby to decompress and rip around a bit. Only really had time to fly three...
2024.06.07 - Learning PID Tuning
มุมมอง 745 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey everyone! Accidentally screwed up my drone's tune and, although I thought I'd backed up the factory settings, it turns out that I did not actually do so properly. And thus the last week has mostly consisted of me learning everything I can about PID tuning from excellent resources like @uavtech , tweaking a few settings, and running short test flights. After something like 38 flights over th...
2024.05.28 - Fixed My Drone (and then promptly broke another frame lol)
มุมมอง 1235 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey all! So if you watched my last upload, you'll remember that my 5/27 session ended prematurely due to a really nasty crash that finally totaled my longest-lived frame on the Meteor85 to date. Luckily, I had already prepared for this and had three frames on standby. After getting home, I moved my drone's hardware over to a fresh frame and got my stuff prepped for next time. The next day after...
2024.05.27 - I'm Honestly Surprised My Drone (Mostly) Survived
มุมมอง 2.4K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey everyone! Lady and I got out to the park with the doggo earlier today. I had originally planned on getting some epic forest whoopage in, but only managed to fly about 1/4 of a pack before we got hit with a short patch of rain. By the time we got back to the car, the weather had mostly cleared up so I took the opportunity to fly the rest of pack 1 as well as a second pack at the playground n...
2024.05.22 - Stick Time Out Front
มุมมอง 425 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey everyone! Since the weather's been getting nicer, and since I'm feeling more confident in my ability to recover from moments where I might have disarmed previously, I decided to get some stick time in out front again. Historically, since I started FPV, I've broken something every time I flew on this side of the building, so two sessions in a row out here is saying something lol Feel pretty ...

Hey folks! Between some nasty frame damage last week and a hectic work schedule, I haven't had a ton of time to fly around (although I've been getting in some sim stick time) so it felt super nice to get out after work last night and rip around for a few packs. Tried a few wallrides, got a little more comfortable hitting the sign gap, and caught a brief light show from the cable guy on his way ...

Hello fellow internet denizens! My lady and I made a trip out to her parents place over the weekend, which was a great opportunity to repair/upgrade my VTX antenna from the stock dipole to a Foxeer Lollipop omni-directional. Big improvement in terms of range and penetration - haven't been bold enough to test the hard limit yet, although based on some preliminary research, I should feel comforta...

RIP metor. ALways love seeing you fly buddy!
Brother, that was a great rip. Thank you for sharing! Great song choice.
Good stuff man. Haven't heard this song in like a decade too, used to love it.
Thanks man! Yeah this one is big nostalgia for me. All those first decade of the millennium jams bring me back
Fly Forest! Fly!
Goodness this song bangs. Perfect choice for the footage.
I'm buying the Meteor85 as well. Is it hard to connect the Lollipop VTX antenna? Nice footage.
Good choice! Not difficult at all. It attaches via U.FL connector so I do recommend using a dab of E6000 glue over the top of the connector once attached so that it doesn't fly off when you crash. Depending on your antenna length, you may also benefit from using some of that E6000 at the point where the antenna leaves the back of the canopy to reduce antenna wiggle-related signal breakup
@@BlaqkstarFPV Would you know how long the default antenna is? And how long is your current antenna, and would you increase/decrease the length if you could?
cool spot, nice flying!
Thanks man!
BlaqkstarFPV + The Birthday Massacre + Doggo = Best Monday Morning!
Yarrrr, thanks dude!
Niiiice
Yooo dude, thanks for watching! Not as happy with this vid, especially after the last one, but I wanted to keep at least something that vaguely resembles upload consistency lol
Man. You ripped the hell out of that spot! That orbit at the end was super tight.🔥
Thanks man! The ending orbit is probably the only part I am really happy with lol. Gotta get back out there soon and try to rip that spot with the same intensity as the last vid at some point
Hell yeah! Awesome spot. And doggo too?!
Thanks for watching man! Definitely need to integrate her into more vids haha
what a beautiful lil spot! nice vid, more doggo!
Yooo thanks for watching dude! The whole bike path was like that, too. Super idyllic. There were a handful of little spots like this carved out along the trail - this one was in an excellent spot, because it was just after a steep hill with some pretty sharp turns that if you didn't take just right would cancel out all your momentum. Good times haha
Sweet flying! Dropped a sub!
Yoooo, thanks for watching! Subbed back, super dig the long range flights!
very sexy
Very nice lines! That was a lot of fun to watch\
Thanks for watching!
Awesome rip, great tunes as always, good luck with next semester
Thanks! Can't wait to be done! lol
@@BlaqkstarFPV just don't hack me plz Lol
How much it cost
Drone was about $120, radio controller about $100, goggles were around $80
Awesome moves man, that was sick.
Yooo thanks for watching!
Nice dude. I need to go rip a playground. it's crazy that is a micro. Can you give me some props suggestions. I am not happy with the low pitch ones I have on my 2s.
Thanks man! Yeah the Meteor 85 is zippy as hell, I love it. RE: props, I just run the gemfan 2015 45mm bi-blade, nothing crazy at all. I actually haven't learned all that much about props yet to be totally honest so I haven't branched out a ton in that space.
@@BlaqkstarFPV alright. I'm going back to the bi-blades. I tried some other ones on a similar whoop and I hate them. I gotta post more videos. You're crazy consistent. Good job dude. I just posted a video for the first time in like a month.
Ripping it right 💯👍
Yooo thanks bro!
Good flying 😎
Thanks for watching!
Very nice😮
Thanks for watching!
what drone is this?
Gear info is in video description :)
Hahaha 'oh shit'
lolol I was so excited to have hit that gap. I had tried it during some prior packs and was surprised to still have an intact frame so when I came out of those swings where I did, I took a risk on punching throttle and to have it pay off like that was absolutely nuts in my mind. The real challenge is gonna be hitting it twice xD
This is such a good idea
100%, someone else got me on the whole "bring your drone on your bike rides" tip and now it's gonna be an every time thing lol
@@BlaqkstarFPV 100%! I just got a case for mine and I bring it literally everywhere
Quite the rush just watching this!
Thanks for watching dude! Yeah I was stoked after hitting that gap. Rode the bike straight home and jumped right into editing lol
Yeah ye ye ye yeah
Yeahhhh!
Ripping it up!
Thanks man! Putting in that stick time, that's for sure lol
Hell yeah man, nice groovy tune I love everything about this!
Thanks dude!
dean town! nice flying dood
Love me some Vulfpeck. Thanks man!
Yikes, that's never good.
Definitely made for a couple weeks full of learning opportunities lol
That was great.cool music choice excellent.
@@winder6 Thanks for watching!
Ayyyy your back my man!❤
@@snajperbartek69 Yesss! Just had to iron out video range issues for a bit there lol. Thanks for watching man!
Sweet moves dude! Also love the music selection!
@@platinumdragonofficial Thanks man! Ever since I learned about Twin Tribes they've been on my daily rotation so it was only a matter of time til I used em in yet another FPV vid lol. Now that I've got my range locked down I am excited to try some sbang-inspired flying w one of your jams!
Might as well take that horizon bar off lol 👌🏾
lol yeah I'm definitely leaning in that direction recently
Nice👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Sick dude! Nice wall rides and I'm seeing some inverted yaw stuff! I gotta learn that, I think it looks so good.
Thanks man! I've been trying hard to incorporate inverted yaw stuff every time I fly now that I can kinda pull 'em off on demand. Really wanna get good at rewinds next
@@BlaqkstarFPV in got my inverted yaws down now. I still haven't got them smooth. I am going to upload a new video soon. I feel like I have improved a lot.
i love cats
Hell yeah bro. Cats are rad
NICE
Thanks bro!
😊👍👊🤟✌
Thanks for watching!
Looking good! Bjork ftw.
Thanks man! Love me some Bjork!
good shit
Yooo, thanks man!
Sick!
Thanks for watching!
'eyy, right in my back yard! :) Nice man!
Yooo dude thanks for watching! I actually thought about hitting you and a couple other buddies up to see if you wanted to come out to the show w/ us but since it was a date night I ended up scrapping that idea. I'll hit you up before I roll into town next time. We should link up!
Nice bike rack gap. That looked awesome.
Thanks for watching man! I'm just glad I finally got it. During this last pack, lady and I are discussing heading out once it depletes instead of flying my last two, so it was sort of my last attempt at nailing a line through 'em. Just wish I'd have powerlooped the arch a couple times haha. Next time I want to go downtown proper and dive a skyscraper.
@@BlaqkstarFPVI always look back at my flights and think "Man I should have just....". I think it's good for trying to push yourself to fly better. I love this gorilla whoop stuff. I gotta go do some of that myself. I'm pretty inspired.
@@SquidPope It's pretty fun. Haven't run into any opposition yet but I haven't pushed things too much either. Definitely beats flying in some of the more "normal" spots :P
hi blaqkstarfpv, do you think taxation is slavery?
Nah bro. What is theft/slavery is how the capitalist class maintains hegemonic power through the strategic use of misinformation, such as the flat earth movement, to distract malleable minds from actual class struggle.
lol u blurred ur bud on analog? that's a 1st. also love this song. Jennifer Connelly mmmm
No first here. Lady is basically always blurred per her request. 😉
