Most excellent video. I really like how you have multiple views of what you're explaining e.g. you show the configurator and the model at the same time. I have almost the same setup as you. I also have the nexus but I'm using the Mamba F722 mini MK3. I've been using inav for a while now but I've learned a ton from your video. Great job!
Thanks Dale! Wow! I didn't know the Mamba F722 had a barometer. That's sweet. sounds like you've got yourself a nice Nexus build! We learn from each other friend!👍
Been flying INAV for about 4 years, BF for about 6 years. BF for racing and all around flying, INAV for LR and setting up missions. Nice to have a choice but it would be great to have a larger number of Fc’s for INAV QUADS. My favorite features are: waypoints/missions and auto land
I've been looking into an inav build. waypoint missions and position hold are things im interested in. that first position hold didnt really impress me though. i was thinking i would be able to use to position a camera at a specific point or somthing, doesnt seem like it really works like that, seemed to really wobble around while it "held"
Awesome breakdown TMac! I've seen Pawel turn up the speed on the RTH settings to compensate for wind conditions. I flashed INav 4 last week, but haven't flown it yet.
Unfortunately I still think inav has a ways to go especially with regards to poshold and its RTH feature. It does work but its funky to say the least. I've had my quad out over 2 miles and hit RTH and the quad started banking left and right and back and forth like it was drunk. I let it do its things which apparently its Adjusting according to my osd warnings data. After a 30 tense seconds the quad did start it's way back to the home point but sideways and it was zig zagging all the way back. After it hit the home point it just stop and started doing the banking thing again for a few seconds then it just sat there! I had to take over a d land it. Lol. Now weird thing is I've had this RTH work flawlessly and poshold work flawlessly before and it just seems the processing in inav get hung up from time to time and when that happens weird flight behavior takes place. Last flight I took on the latest Inav 3.0.2 my 6 inch Badger after hitting RTH about a mile out just disarmed and fell to the ground! I've since grounded it and thinking I'll try Arducopter again since I've had arducopter on a 5 inch a few years back that worked really well or I may just stick with emuflight since my 5 inch Roma L5 runs that and flies great and GPS rescue imo is really all you need on quads like this. Now Inav on fixedwing is another story! Inav works flawlessly on the 5 planes and wings I'm using it on and even running old 2.6 firmware on a couple that's been rock solid. It just feels like inav devs are geared more towards fixedwing now days since they have that pretty much locked down and working really well, just don't think they have this whole quad stuff worked out yet or they just get it to work as good as they can and say deal with it. Lol.
Nice! A couple of questions; Your new GPS seem to work out in that location at the rear of the quad? Some users say had mounted the GPS on a post, I was curious if that was really necessary. Also, I need to upgrade my GPS too, what wattage iron should I use? Thanks!
Awesome video as usual. Thanks for sharing this info. Just a little note about the black foam: it is to block light hitting directly to the barometer because its sensitive to light.
Per Infineon Technologies (maker of DPS310 barometer that is installed on the Matek F722 SE flight controller): "DPS310 is not light sensitive. However the foam can help to remove the air turbulences, dynamic pressure and keep static pressure only which count for altitude metering."
Great video, thanks for sharing. In the process of migrating over from BF to iNav. A quick question, in iNav 4.1 the 'rate profile selection' isn't listed in the Adjustments tab, would you perhaps know how this can be setup on a switch as you have done? Thanks
Excellent video T-Mac! Full tutorials on iNav have not been this in-depth thus far, which has been frustrating, Especially since various BNF/PNP builds are being set up for this system. Great work here! If you were to add product/affiliate links there could be a bit of additional income available to you. Keep it up!
Thank you Steve. Products & resources mentioned in the video are available through links in the video's description, as usual. TH-cam allows 5000 characters (including spaces) in description. Video chapters I put in for viewer's ease of video navigation takes up a lot of that space.
So can you actively change position of position hold for really slow accurate shots that need to not move around a lot? Thanks for all your videos they are always really helpful
Awesome video! So glad you put this together. One quick question, would the PID gains, Rates & Expo, Filters, and mechanic values be similar on a 5 inch quad?
PID gains can be copied over from Betaflight PIDs. I 've got a complete Playlist on how to tune PIDs using Betaflight (and therefore the same with iNav) I'll provide you the link to. th-cam.com/play/PLKAiYAaTdvmoXyDzrPWj9-sxv4m1GNKCT.html Although it says for "Micro FPV Drone Tuning" it applies to all sizes for quads. Specifically, take a look at the downloadable Tuning Guide. It will help. iNav filters are not the same as Betaflight and will be specific to your quad (every quad is different). Rates and expo are a personal preference and should not be copied from someone else. Just try different values and see what feels best for you. Here's a video on Rates th-cam.com/video/52vR7Nt_t2c/w-d-xo.html
hi, I see you have the same pink screen issue with your tarsier camera as I have... did you find a solution for that or is it a faulty camera we got???
43:10 you can do the adjustments with just a single entry by selecting the whole switch range, then you can remove the 2 other entries below (same as in betaflight)
hey Tmac. nice vid. but the pos hold is not doing good. its toilet bowling. its a compass problem. avoid running DC(battery leads) wires near the gps puck. even on strong winds, it can do pos hold(quad is tilted but remains in position). also much better seen on dvr with fpv cam at zero degree angle. I also do my compass calibration with ALL the parts connected and finalized. no usb cable to PC. just do it thru stick commands(mag calib). just an fyi
Great videos T-Mac ! Coming from Betaflight but not really wanting to be a full-on racer (but will want some freestyle capabilities), decided its useful to have position hold /return to home and other capabilities other firmwares offer. I can see that Ardupilot and iNav have these extra features so I am between the two. Knowing that iNav requires the extra sensors, does that make it a better choice for these modes?
Hey Georgio's! Here's my take on all 3 firmware. Best manual flight (Acro Mode) firmware is Betaflight. Only GPS assisted function Betaflight has is GPS Rescue. Best Autonomous flight firmware is ArduPilot. Been around longer, most GPS assisted functions, etc. A little more difficult to setup & tune for manual (non GPS assisted flight modes). My ArduPilot Playlist is here ArduPilot & Arducopter: th-cam.com/play/PLKAiYAaTdvmr0cz6tfXCZPBRUUCB8nSXx.html . iNav firmware, in my opinion, is somewhere between Betaflight & Arducopter. Not as good as Betaflight for Manual/Acro Mode and not as good as Arducopter in Autonomous flight modes. Does "OK" with both types of flight modes
TMac, exactly what I needed. Followed every step with few issues on a Diatone Mamba F5 / DJI, with a Matek GPS 5883 added just behind the camera. PIDs make me nervous, let you know how it flies. Thankyou
@@TMacFPV Flew it today with a bit of wind. Actually did OK out in the open. (My home is in a wooded area, no open areas to test) RTH and Position Hold worked perfectly. I'm happy with the results for now. I did my best to transfer most of the pid settings as shown in your video. Is there an Auto-Tune available for quads? Thanks!
@@ElseysEmpireRacing Outstanding Capt Dave! Thank you for sharing your successful flight experience. No, my friend, I'm not aware of an "auto tune" for quad's.

If you're interested, I've got a short video mini-series on the subject here Micro FPV Drone Tuning Guide: th-cam.com/play/PLKAiYAaTdvmoXyDzrPWj9-sxv4m1GNKCT.html
What am I doing wrong?I've got a recon 7 pro. My gps hglrc M80 pro doesn't have a direction arrow so I tried all the options in Mag Alignment from default to cw 270 flip and still in the heading setup it doesn't hold the position very well and when I try to tilt the drone it also rotates. Thank you
I dont get it !My new fc is coming soon with betaflight configured on it already (it is a hglr aio forward with barometer ) that I want to flash with Inav to use RTH and other options Betaflight does not have .I can see on Inav Flasher list of flight controller my FC and many other Fc,s .But how come there are just a few flight controllers is suggested by Inav Gui ?
Hi, Tmac. Good night. My name is Itajaí, from Rio de Janeiro/BR. I'd like to ask a favor, if possible. I mounted a drone racer with the FC Matek f722-se, updated to version 4.1 and configured in Inav Configurator 4.1. My radiotransmitter is an AT9S Radiolink and the receiver is an R9DS Radiolink. The configuration is all right, checked several times. But, when trying to save the configuration of channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the tab receiver(1000-2000), via CLI, they stopped working, even on the radio. I can't figure out what's wrong with the board.Can you help me with this? I leave here, my thanks. Hugs.
Thanks for the info about stick commands to select which profile you want. Is there any way (like in the OSD) to verify which profile your currently on? Thanks!
Hey Dale! I'm not awatre of an iNav OSD element that displays this value on your OSD, however, you can always recommend it as a feature on the github site for a future release github.com/iNavFlight/inav . To see what PID profile you're on, while looking in goggles get into OSD menu system by holding left stick center - left and right stick center-up. Then use right stick to navigate into PID Tuning. Here, you'll see what PID Profile you're currently on and can change it here also.
@@TMacFPV Cool, I'll use the sticks to verify what profile I'm on. I don't have a github account at the moment but I'll make that suggestion later. As always, Thanks for the help!!!
Hey Dale! No. As seen in video, after 30 seconds quadcopter will beep indicating calibration is complete. If it doesn't beep, calibration was not done. See Calibrating Compass with Stick commands at this link github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/Sensor-calibration
@@dale7431 I'd suggest doing a calibration frequently. My build kept doing weird stuff. Also if you happen to fly lipos and calibrated with a lipo installed then switch to a lion bat you may have compass issues from the Li-on packs.
I tried this recently and could not get two different fairly expensive compass/gps combos working and kept getting hardware warnings. Looked through a lot of online resources but no luck.. Since no compass, no position hold, I flashed back to BF. Maybe I'll try it again. Thanks for the video.
Sure thing Bryan! Yep, compass is a must. Mount GPS module with compass parallel to flight controller (not at an angle) for easier calibration and best results. Foam over barometer is a "good thing" too!
@@TMacFPV The compass was mounted at about a 30% angle, since the tpu mount came with the rekon5. I'll look around for a flat mount before trying again. Thanks again.
@@kurtzFPV yep, that's what I had originally too (actually mine was about 21.5 degs). Didn't work well. Could get it to work with some math, but easier to print out flat mount. Once flat, compass worked fine. I've got a flat mount STL I could send you but it fits rear standoffs that are 12mm apart, center hole to center hole. If that works for you shoot me an email and I'll respond with STL
@@TMacFPV Wow, very much appreciated, but just checked and the Rekon5 standoffs appear to be right at 15mm center to center. Yeah, I even tried the cli commands that were supposed to compensate for the angle with no luck. Then iNav started failing to pick up the GPS. Flashed back to BF and both compass and gps were recognized right away. I disabled the compass for now though, since I am more confident in just the GPS alone in Betaflight and not sure if the compass brings anything at all in BF other than maybe sending me the wrong direction fast:>)
whaaaat? GPS mate? How come no one else talks about this device on their channels? Because they ain't the "TMac" quick like n scribed whuups Painless 360 talks about it as well!! still ya got my attention.

Inav just doesn’t work. I have tried it on my zeus f722 first.. the rekon5. The drone took off and flew away and wouldn’t stop. I then bought the recommended controller… a matek f722 mini and the same thing plus it doesn’t work right with arming at all. It arms sometimes and most of the time it doesn’t! This is the biggest piece of garbage software I’ve ever seen! So I’m gonna watch your video and see if I missed something. But this is the most frustrating firmware I’ve ever dealt with

Inav just doesn’t work. I have tried it on my zeus f722 first.. the rekon5. The drone took off and flew away and wouldn’t stop. I then bought the recommended controller… a matek f722 mini and the same thing plus it doesn’t work right with arming at all. It arms sometimes and most of the time it doesn’t! This is the biggest piece of garbage software I’ve ever seen! So I’m gonna watch your video and see if I missed something. But this is the most frustrating firmware I’ve ever dealt with
so many commercials, hard to stay with the video!
Hi, I have Walksnail M181 GPS built in Compass
But it is not detected by INAV in my speedybee F405 board
