Hey brother thanks for the video. Hopefully this will help someone. For my novice 3 I picked up a taranis qx7. I got it to bind I had to do some Channel mapping I set my low mid and end points figured out my switches arm beeper and mode switch. Now I need to calibrate my ESC but when you hook to betaflight the ESC power up so I'm having trouble figuring that out right now. Appreciate the video of my friend you take care and have a peaceful day.
ESC isnt on betaflight you need to download BL HELI.you shouldn't need to celebrate if you just add a new transmitter.esc's are to control the motor speeds.
Heya man, im veryyy very new to all of fpv and quads in general, you said the drop outs are caused by the RSSI signal? What is that?😅 where do i like find it, i did some things to the quad myself yesterday, put the antenna's straight up, flew 5 battery's no problem, 0 drop outs, you think putting the antenna's up was what solved it? Or that it was just luck?
If you haven't had any dropouts i wouldn't worry about it.rssi is the signal value from the transmitter to the receiver on the model.its displayed on the screen in the goggles.
@@cyclops-fpv thanks man:)) i have had drop outs before, but after i put the antenna's straight up it seemed to have fixed it, or that was just a coincidence, i'll fly again tonight and see how it holds up👍😎
@@Kevin-Kx How's it going now? I keep seeing videos saying to secure antennas to some place more safe, others say keep them up but heat shrink them(because everyone can do that???), what's your setup like?
@@DavidSmith-oy4of heya, i have my antenna's up, a tiewrap on the top, secure the antenna's to them then heatshrink em, do you have an instagram? If so i can better explain by sending you a picturem
Hi the one more in the video is a manace rc bandicoot linear patch sold by manace rc and most other places online and any omni antenna will do for the diversity goggle.im gonna upgrade this quad with better fpv antenna and long range transmitter antennas when they arrive and i may do a video to show and how i did it.
Good review man, any way you can either elaborate on that RSSI stuff in the CLI, or do a video on it? I have an issue with range and im new to all this stuff😊
Not sure where you’re from I’m from Michigan USA I bought the novice three and my controller was broken out of the package the gimbal was not functioning just wondering if you want to sell just the controller to me PS good video
@CYCLOPS FPV: very informative video! One question: Does with this extre Menaca antenne also comes with little black part your holding it? This antenna extension? Or I have to buy it tool. Which kind is it?
That's a extension to mount the antenna to any angle.they do right angle brass ones too 45-90° also check out the new menace viper long range linear patch antenna!I got 400 meters out of it yesterday.you have to buy it separate.
Can you use it for a Simulator? ... I saw a video where you can plug drones to PC to connect the quad receiver to PC and with Betalight atleast 3.4 to use In CLI -> Set usb_hid_cdc = on - > Save - > and its found in PC as a controller? Really hoping for that "best upgrade of stock" video you plan on making.... my drone kit just shipped so....
I have another method that won’t leave your VTX burning up on your desk. It requires soldering a female mono jack socket to the circuit board. Then you can plug it into your microphone port and use smartpropoplus to configure it as a controller.
Why not out a right hand circular polarised antenna on the drone? Aren't the lollipop antennas like that? edit: instead of putting a linear antenna on the goggles
@@madladdan it will help much better than the dipole antenna but make sure its the same length or the props will hit it(the receiver antennas need moving too mine got chopped first flight and kept getting failsafes)
@@cyclops-fpv thank you. It has trim buttons on the controller. One of them was sticking and I managed to fix. Still needs a decent betaflight tune. Havent messed with it much but am learning all I can
could you help me with my novice 3? My radio signal is good, about 40-60, then suddently it falls to 0, than go back to normal, but this drop is making the drone fall... what can be? thank you
Yes this is called a failsafe you've probably cut the antenna wires with your propellers and this is the result!(like mine did)you may have to replace the ufl antennas.BUT it could also be the radio signal is not tuned to the frequency properly(videos on TH-cam will help there)or try this,type this in betaflight CLI dump.set rssi_scale=140 then type save.see if that works but check the ends of your antennas first to see if they have been cut.if they have then there's the problem.
@@cyclops-fpv thanks, i've already tried the rssi_scale=140 and increased the signal, the antennas are fine, but the problem persists... maybe a major problem in the FC?
@@FZFilmes I would try to tune the frsky d8 2.4ghz signal on the transmitter.I'm not using the Eachine one(that could be the problem too?)I'm using a multi protocol transmitter.
Hi if your Transmitter has frsky D8 than yes.there are loads of videos on TH-cam explaining how to set it up.I'm not familiar with the menu on that trans I have a jumper t8sg.
Hellothanks a great video! I have my Eachine Novice-III, but when I connect the controller card to a battery or betaflyght, the red and green LEDs light up continuously and only the buzzer sounds and it does not connect! my Eachine Novice-III AIO Board is dead? please help :( @xyGw
For the peeps with the RSSI problem; here's the Betaflight CLI command:
set rssi_scale = 140
:)

Great informative video.

Thanks in advance.

Good video bud!

Enter this on betaflight CLI. Set rssi_scale=140 then type save.

mine too, i got it with right stick broken

@@cyclops-fpv Puh... a lot to learn, thanks!
Hi excellent detailed review thanks, can I use a Devention Devo 7E transmitter with this quad?
As long as its got frsky D8 on it then yes
Can you use it for a Simulator? ... I saw a video where you can plug drones to PC to connect the quad receiver to PC and with Betalight atleast 3.4 to use

I have this set and use it thsi way for fpv freerider 👍

Where can I get the extension for the fpv goggles
I got mine on EBay.

edit: instead of putting a linear antenna on the goggles
Yep got one on it now (true rc micro ufl)rhcp and on goggles too.
CYCLOPS FPV Oh great and would you suggest that as the main upgrade? I'm getting the kit but want to get everything at once to save on shipping.
@@madladdan it will help much better than the dipole antenna but make sure its the same length or the props will hit it(the receiver antennas need moving too mine got chopped first flight and kept getting failsafes)
CYCLOPS FPV Ok yea I saw in your vid and a couple others also suggest moving them with zipties and heat shrink or something
@@madladdan I've mounted them under the legs.
Any idea how to do a trim adjustment? Mine keeps drifting left and then it rotates right
Celebrate the giro and check your endpoints and midpoints usually sorts it.

Hi there.
Can I bind my QX7 to this quad.
And if so would it be hard/easy for a newbie to do?
Cheers
