Bardwell seems like a genuine good guy. He's the 1st source I go for ANY fpv related question because his videos are so helpful as well as entertainment. Thank you for your existence!
Waiting for mine to arrive patiently while practicing on the sim daily. This is my first brushless quad!!!! Thanks for the review Joshua, love your videos and how detailed they are
Ok...I got rid of my beloved TinyKawk waiting for "The Thing" that would knock my socks off. If this isn't it I dont know what is. Thanks for not making us watch a blurry JB.
If you saw his video today you'll find that his signal reading equipment is currently "under investigation" and he's removed all vtx videos until further notice. Working with VAS, so you KNOW it's gonna be good.
I loved My Mobula7 HD, Great video in a Small package. Here is a list of the issues starting with the biggest. First The flight control burns out AND BIG time very easily compared to the Mobula7. So I had this Quad for about ½ day and I crashed trying to do a slow speed flip through though a Y in the Tree in my backyard. I disarmed and let the quad come to a stop on the ground. Died FC. burnt out ESC. I than bought a second FC. So this one I baby and almost the same thing happens. Except this time the ESC locks closed and trys to smoke the whole quad. The battery lead got so hot it melted. Second The wires for the Camera, Well all the wires are right at the tip of the prop. So yes I crashed and it ripped out 2 of the wires for the camera. Simple fix welder glue in a thin sheet of plastic. This way the prop just bounces of the plastic. But the manufacture should have done this! Third The battery connector is coming straight out of the back. because of this the battery wires have to be even longer. It just needs to be shouldered on at a 90. Almost any solution would be better than more floppy wiring! Fourth The battery holder is way to tight. should have option for this with a few different holders that swap out. Fifth The camera controls cable is just flopping about. it needs a place to be or make it so it plugs in through the side of the canopy. Anything but please try harder. Sixth, The VTX Antenna is also flopping about. they made a clip location that does nothing with out glue. So thats what I did. I glued it in place. I also used this to tuck the camera controls cable in. Seventh DATE AND TIME; Please add a small battery to the Recoding system. It would be huge to have the files auto add the Date and time. The file naming system should be based on this. Eighth Who decide to name the folder video!? Why Does Every Camera Put Photos in a DCIM Folder? www.howtogeek.com/204228/why-does-every-camera-put-photos-in-a-dcim-folder/ Every camera - whether it’s a dedicated digital camera or the Camera app on Android or iPhone - places the photos you take in a DCIM folder. DCIM stands for “Digital Camera Images.” I like this Quad I don't have the others like it. But from watching the reviews on the others I think it still might be the best. The main problem here is the lack of attention to detail. Way to many little things are missed. Rapid fire is a perfect example. (Clearview who) Come out second and get it right Thanks for reading this.
I was getting interested in the Mobula 7 HD until I saw iFlight Cinebee 75 HD footage. For shooting 60fps HD footage without getting too much attention it seems hard to beat. It also stays well below that pesky 250gm barrier. Certainly not as agile though.
Hey dude how are yaa,so dude I just bought one mobula 7hd and I'm so excited to fly this one so I'm beggner yet , I'm flying just on drone simulador so my my question is how should I do to bind my drone with my radio and glasses ?and also I seww that I should set up this on betafly that's so much things to do hahaha if you can gimme a hand with this I'll be happy tks all the good for yaa
Please make an update video on the problems of this quad: Burnt ESCs (and the 75% throttle curve required on 10K Kv motors) and the Yellow screen of death in the cameras... Both of these things happened to my M7HD in the first 2 flights. Hopefully, HappyModel and Caddx will replace both the FC and the camera board for free. They have good customer service.
Joshua, I’ve been out of the hobby for a couple years and just bought an analog Mobula 8 and a crossfire nano rx with the micro immortal t antenna. I have a Taranis qx7 and Fatshark Dominators with a True D Furious FPV module that I kept after selling all my drones a couple years ago. Would you be able to point me towards a walkthru to set this all up? I feel like I have forgotten everything I learned during my years flying FPV and I would prefer to use one source of content to get back up to speed. Since you are the FPV Know It All, I am hopeful that you can help me!
Yo, it's been almost a year :) Looks like we've also got the Mob7 HD v2, BETA75HD, UR85HD, and GepRC CineEye. Are any of those good? How about for indoors?
If you live in the US would you not want to ensure you are NTSC so your frame rate is synced to power supply? , this avoids flickering lights on indoor shots. Same for PAL in the UK.
I am a videographer and have a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone. I would like to use a small drone to get some tight shots, not possible with a larger drone. I would like to be able to integrate the video footage from both drones. Which small drone has the best camera?
Hello I have a problem with the iflight turbobee 77R. The Copter accelerate alone and I can't stop it. I can only stop the Copter by disarm. The Copter is brand new and used the first time.
Great work but still cannot get my mob 7 to bind to my qx7 has crazy bee f4 pro v2 with a xm pluss reciever have had it now for 3 months and have exhausted all research possibilities to try and get in the air so many times it nearly became a pattern of my shoe tread pattern grrr . No wonder so many people dip there toesinto the hobby and can’t get a little toy to work and give up …. I fly a armattan badger and really want something to fly indoors when rains . I’ll be so angry with myself if I endup smashing it in frustration !!!! Help meeeeee
I think you should mention bout the first batch problem, bought my first one and the ESCs burnt, the website says the first batch have problems with overheating that could cause the boards burnt and also the 10000kv motor from the 1st batch did caused the ESCs to burn and toast the FC They do give the tweaking method to limit the throttle to 75% but it’s too late, i already burnt 2 units and one of them have faulty camera cable for the caddx turtle, apparently the cable is not very durable
Hi! first of all, I am a really big fan of your channel, big respect. I'm just starting out with something not being DJI, I own dsm2/dsmx transmitter. If I order Mobula 7 hd from aliexpress or God help me from somewhere in Europe for what I wont have to wait for 2 months,... will I get some serious range out of dsmx dsm2 protocol or is this just garbage? I will use Mkron rc hobby T-i6 DSMX 6 channel. What can I expect? I'm in doubt, please help me out
I chose the Mobula7 HD over the ifFight Cinebee mostly because of the weight. I think this is crucial in this class. I hope I didn't make the wrong decision.... 😱😱😱
Not bad. I ordered a trashcan a couple of weeks ago, mostly after watching your review and comparing it to the regular Mobula 7. Not sure that I would have ordered this instead, I was already concerned a bit that the trashcan was a bit heavier and this one is much heavier. It is taking for-ever though to get here from CN... :(
Man, this review was from a loooong time ago, lol. Anyhoo, I have one of these, but it's the 2023 version. It's also FrSky version with SPI. After watching your video, I tried everything you suggested. Turn telemetry off, bind in D8 mode (which it already was), and all the camera suggestions as well. The problem I'm having is that it keeps losing telemetry when only about 15ft away and then falls to the ground. I've tried everything I can think of including everything you suggested in this video, but still falls to the ground with virtually no range at all. I noticed that in this video you said to go to betaflight and in the "configurations" tab, turn off "telemetry." In my betaflight version that button is in "receiver" tab, and I found nothing about telemetry in the configurations tab. I turned that off in "Receiver", but it did nothing for my range. Am I missing something? I cannot even fly the quad because it has no range. Any suggestions? Please and thank you in advance.
Great review and very revealing about why or why not to get this bird! One question though: At 10:39 you said the random lockup caused the crash due to binding in D16 with telemetry on and that D8 fixes it for you. However, did you rebind it in D8 with telemetry on or off? I have recently heard that D16 set for 8 channel with telemetry off also works, what's your take? Just curious since you still showed RSSI so not sure if you changed it. This bug has been a real pain for me so much so that I would never risk flying over a tree or anything like your tadpole pond for the fear of getting slammed from the air at that moment. Right now I'm running in D8 with telemetry off but still get the random drop occasionally. The random drops and/or telemetry lost/telemetry recovered bug(s?) have been so freaking annoying and takes away from what these could be. Also, are these the same bug or different? I am meaning, the random drop/fail-safe along with the telemetry lost/recovered bug. It's really interesting to see this happen while in the BetaFlight receiver configuration tab and watch it in the graph, each "glitch" varies in duration and intensity. So bizarre.
@@JoshuaBardwell Ok, tried those modes and the random drops from the air still just happen. So I guess these boards with the built in Frsky receivers are basically problematic? Thanks again and at least I know it's not something I'm doing. On the brightside, I have updated everything to the latest firmware, etc... Ordering new FC without built-in receivers from now on...lol
@@frankbarajas Hey man, your post was from a fricken long time ago about this quad. But I have one of these that I got recently, and low and behold, it's still having the same problems! it falls out of the sky at only 15ft away. I tried everything Bardwell said on this video, still nothing. You talked about getting a new FC for this quad. Would you be able to help me find a good FC that will work with this quad? Thanks!
Thanks for the review... Very well done! I got mine today. I ordered it without a receiver and Happynodel is so with it, they have a tiny JST already soldered on to the FC so we can just solder the opposite end to my receiver of choice and simply plug it in! Very, very nice! No taking the whole quad apart, and with the Turtle V2, it's pretty tightly packed under the canopy. So, not having to take it all apart, solder on to those pin head size solder pads, and figure out which of those microscopic pads are the correct ones to use, is pretty damn nice! 👍 Out off all the who0p manufacturers, IMO Happymodel has their act together the most! Quality, well designed, products! 😊👌🤘 PS I ended up putting a Frsky R-XSR receiver in mine to eliminate the issue with poor range. And, I get diversity! I'm actually surprised more people don't buy it that way. I ordered a separate Crazybee F4 Pro V2 FC and did the same thing. Hasn't it always been best to not get FC's with built in receivers? I think it has, so why not with this one too?!!! ;) PPS i don't see the link to the How to use throttle cut in Betaflight in the description...If you could add that? ...Thanks!
Great videos as usual. Which would fly better between the modula six or the six HD or the 7 for slow smooth recording.I want to use to for real estate tour vids
would it be possible to up the motor/power/size to compensate for extra weight? i've ordered M7HD and having a 2nd thoughts :S Would beta85X be a better contender?
Why not try throttle expo on these indoors instead of limiting the throttle. I find this makes me way more precise at low to mid throttle on light, powerful quads.
Everyone that has this drone should check their video out cable pin connections at the vtx 1st if they have any vtx problems. I had many undue crashes due to this and was pretty hard on the little bugger until I finally found this.
Regarding the blackouts in the DVR recording. Have you done the DVR firmware update that IRC put together to help support RapidFIRE? It's supposed to kill those blackouts *and* apparently it also records through static without losing frames, which means it's now much easier to sync DVR and HD footage.
friend Joshua Bardwell enjoy your videos and your opnions and tips. could you give me your opniao about which better drone, between betafpv 85x hd, mobula 7 hd and iflight cine whoop hd? thanks for your attention.
So how do you get the video . Is it from the goggles or from a sd card slot. I hope the sd card because I have the first or second pairs of fat shark googles and I don’t think they have a dvr.Thanks
Nice timing, mine just arrived today. :-) Awesome review! Might want to do another review on protecting those camera wires, etc... Also saw a few post about 3s batteries killing the board.
@@JoshuaBardwell Yeah same I've got their GNB 3s battery. Was initially planning to buy more, but might just stick with my existing 2s batteries for now. Save some cash.
Hola bd yo tengo un Mobula 7 hd y no e podido volarlo la primera lipo se quemo un bariador pedi otra placa de la que trae y montada conectar y funciona bien y a segunda ves qye puse lipo el motor 3 ya no funcionaba bien yo creo bariadir quenado y eso que en esta placa hemos puesto un condesador en el tx30 alguirn me puede decir qyf placa poder montar qur no de lata ?
At the end you talk about the Tiny Leader HD not the betafpv 85x hd. Given that they are in short supply at the moment I'll assume that review is upcoming
Just bought a mobula 7hd as my first cinewhoop . It looks a little different from the one you reviewed . Black props and reshaped canopy. Did they tweak it a bit after this review?
As always a good JB review. :) What 3S battery did you use for this test? Suggestion for 3S battery with high C-rating and good flight time appreciated. Did you use a special tool for setting up the camera and OSD?
Hi there, I have a mobula 7 and it wil not bind at all no matter what i have tried. Also the modes section does not work in betaflght. it freezes and then i have to disconnect for anythting to react. any sugestions.
Currently pretty hard to get especially the spare batteries, Bangood seems to have some issues with restock, can it be a demand too high than expected?
Not sure if I missed but since it's 2x more heavy than its not-HD brother, what was the flying time difference? Heavier and more powerfull sounds to me like 2x shorter flights. And as it's ~2x more expensive, flight time sounds like super important info. If I missed it in your review, sorry and could someone point me to timestamp? Thx
Hey Josh does turtle mode burn up esc and motors I keep reading about people saying this but then I hear people who use it regularly if you have time thanks
If you activate turtle mode and then smash the props against something repeatedly, then you're more likely to burn up the ESC. But in general, no, it doesn't burn things.
When looking at grass and trees there are all these like... rgb kinda pixels or whatever in the FPV feed, what is that? Moire? Is there a way to get rid of it? It’s fugly. And whats with that compression? I’m watching on a phone, every few seconds it gets blocky
If you're watching in mobile, TH-cam or your mobile carrier may be wrecking the video quality. Make sure you are watching in 1440 resolution for best quality.
Great video Josh, I want to get a new whoop mine is a beta65s and I would like to go faster with it. But I don't care about H.D at least in a TINY WHOOP series, I think that the best way for H.D video is using a 3in or bigger version. Thanks again.
I have two pairs of RS1106ll 6000kv, fullspeed 1104 7500kv, and king Kong before LDARC XT1104 7500kv so I'm set for motors, but now all I need is money. Long story short. Parent have past away, Me & my brother selling family farm, then out of nowhere my cousin who doesn't own any part of the farm has sued me and my brother and anyone else who is involved with the sale is being sued for $500,000 and this is the 3 year it's been going on.
Hi Joshua ! I have the Mobula hd from a week , have you ever notice if yours is with loose props like mine ? As of today I find a lot of people with this model with the same problem.That is a big deal for the front props that if loose a couple of mm will break into to the camera chassis ...😫I hope it’s only a low quality propellers issue ...
Hi Joshua, since the onboard Frsky receiver has lockup issue and I really like the telemetry function. Do you think that it's possible to disable onboard receiver and install Frsky RXSR receiver ? Will the R-XSR works normally with telemetry on in D16 mode?
I thought I would ask this question here.. I've been told that the Pids should be changed when flying a 3s versus a 2 s.. Is this correct?.. I would like to hear this from a reliable source before changing anything.
Joshua send help lol I just got my mob 7 HD and I can't get it to fly .. I have a qx7 I went thru the set up it's binded on bf4.0 but it just says paralyzed and I can't get into the mode tab to set up an arm switch or even the osd tab .. I've been searching thru your vids I spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to get it flying is there something I'm missing?

It's really interesting to see this happen while in the BetaFlight receiver configuration tab and watch it in the graph, each "glitch" varies in duration and intensity. So bizarre.
You can use D16 with telemetry off, or you can use D8 with telemetry on, but D8 telemetry is not as good as D16 smartport.
@@JoshuaBardwell Ok, tried those modes and the random drops from the air still just happen. So I guess these boards with the built in Frsky receivers are basically problematic? Thanks again and at least I know it's not something I'm doing. On the brightside, I have updated everything to the latest firmware, etc... Ordering new FC without built-in receivers from now on...lol
@@frankbarajas Hey man, your post was from a fricken long time ago about this quad. But I have one of these that I got recently, and low and behold, it's still having the same problems! it falls out of the sky at only 15ft away. I tried everything Bardwell said on this video, still nothing. You talked about getting a new FC for this quad. Would you be able to help me find a good FC that will work with this quad? Thanks!
0:15 I think you said "brushless" instead of "brushed"
Thanks for the review... Very well done! I got mine today. I ordered it without a receiver and Happynodel is so with it, they have a tiny JST already soldered on to the FC so we can just solder the opposite end to my receiver of choice and simply plug it in! Very, very nice! No taking the whole quad apart, and with the Turtle V2, it's pretty tightly packed under the canopy. So, not having to take it all apart, solder on to those pin head size solder pads, and figure out which of those microscopic pads are the correct ones to use, is pretty damn nice! 👍
Out off all the who0p manufacturers, IMO Happymodel has their act together the most! Quality, well designed, products! 😊👌🤘
PS
I ended up putting a Frsky R-XSR receiver in mine to eliminate the issue with poor range. And, I get diversity! I'm actually surprised more people don't buy it that way. I ordered a separate Crazybee F4 Pro V2 FC and did the same thing. Hasn't it always been best to not get FC's with built in receivers? I think it has, so why not with this one too?!!! ;)
PPS
i don't see the link to the How to use throttle cut in Betaflight in the description...If you could add that? ...Thanks!
Great videos as usual. Which would fly better between the modula six or the six HD or the 7 for slow smooth recording.I want to use to for real estate tour vids
You need HD recording so I guess the Mob6 HD but really you want a Cinewhoop.
Honestly really happy with what you showed of the Mob7HD DVR my wallet not so much, it knows what coming!
would it be possible to up the motor/power/size to compensate for extra weight? i've ordered M7HD and having a 2nd thoughts :S Would beta85X be a better contender?
Hey Bard, 1 year later.. What's better than this? 75 - 85 range with HD and ability to do acro/freestyle/"cine" ?
Hi JB, can you please add the link how to limit the throttle to 75% ? Thanks a lot
th-cam.com/video/K7t6U_2dLlk/w-d-xo.html
Why not try throttle expo on these indoors instead of limiting the throttle. I find this makes me way more precise at low to mid throttle on light, powerful quads.
Make review of Anger 75x 4cell version please
Joshua, whats the best quad to fly inside? What would u recommend?
My mom is impressed with DVR footy #doitformymomma
Everyone that has this drone should check their video out cable pin connections at the vtx 1st if they have any vtx problems.
I had many undue crashes due to this and was pretty hard on the little bugger until I finally found this.
Regarding the blackouts in the DVR recording. Have you done the DVR firmware update that IRC put together to help support RapidFIRE?
It's supposed to kill those blackouts *and* apparently it also records through static without losing frames, which means it's now much easier to sync DVR and HD footage.
This is an external DVR not the internal one in the Fat Sharks. But that DVR upgrade is excellent.
Just out: quad fliers are just trying to impress their mothers!
I have a dx9. So I would like to know what you would recommend for this radio, and witch quads the best for inside flite.
Can you install a DJI AIR UNIT?
Wait does this thing have an SD card slot? Or do you pull off the HD video via USB port?
friend Joshua Bardwell
enjoy your videos and your opnions and tips. could you give me your opniao about which better drone, between betafpv 85x hd, mobula 7 hd and iflight cine whoop hd? thanks for your attention.
Mobula 7 HD is my choice.
So how do you get the video . Is it from the goggles or from a sd card slot. I hope the sd card because I have the first or second pairs of fat shark googles and I don’t think they have a dvr.Thanks
From an SD card slot.
Thanks
Thanks for showing this one JB
Hey Josh have you done a review on the beta85x? apparently its catching on fire
Do the motors and camera add some weight to it or is that all battery weight.
Nice timing, mine just arrived today. :-) Awesome review!
Might want to do another review on protecting those camera wires, etc... Also saw a few post about 3s batteries killing the board.
Fets are not rated for 3s voltage , they will fail sooner or later
Peter Zingler thanks for noting that. Saves me from buying 3s batteries.
Mine came with a 3S for what it's worth.
@@JoshuaBardwell Yeah same I've got their GNB 3s battery. Was initially planning to buy more, but might just stick with my existing 2s batteries for now. Save some cash.
REAL QUESTION: How feasable is swapping a bad old Android cam that is still much better with the tinywhoop OEM cam?
Hola bd yo tengo un Mobula 7 hd y no e podido volarlo la primera lipo se quemo un bariador pedi otra placa de la que trae y montada conectar y funciona bien y a segunda ves qye puse lipo el motor 3 ya no funcionaba bien yo creo bariadir quenado y eso que en esta placa hemos puesto un condesador en el tx30 alguirn me puede decir qyf placa poder montar qur no de lata ?
OK, so I'll be that guy...what about the BetaFPV 85X HD? How does it compare?
I discuss it at the end of the video.
At the end you talk about the Tiny Leader HD not the betafpv 85x hd. Given that they are in short supply at the moment I'll assume that review is upcoming
@@JoshuaBardwell you didn't compare to the 85x HD.. would love to hear your thoughts, specifically about the better of the two for acro.
At 9:06 for a second I was like "Why are you screaming like a teenage girl in a horror movie?"
Omg I didn't think of that until now lmao
Just bought a mobula 7hd as my first cinewhoop . It looks a little different from the one you reviewed . Black props and reshaped canopy. Did they tweak it a bit after this review?
9:07 the sound scared my cat shitless
dude...we wait enough...WE want to see the setup and the maiden of your beast!!!!!! :P nice vid btw
Do you sell any of your many quads/equipment after reviewing them??
As always a good JB review. :)
What 3S battery did you use for this test?
Suggestion for 3S battery with high C-rating and good flight time appreciated.
Did you use a special tool for setting up the camera and OSD?
I used the 3S battery that came with it but I can't find another version of that exact battery to test with.
Betafpv 85x?
That quad looks amazing!
Quality sucks
Hi there, I have a mobula 7 and it wil not bind at all no matter what i have tried. Also the modes section does not work in betaflght. it freezes and then i have to disconnect for anythting to react. any sugestions.
Currently pretty hard to get especially the spare batteries, Bangood seems to have some issues with restock, can it be a demand too high than expected?
Not sure if I missed but since it's 2x more heavy than its not-HD brother, what was the flying time difference? Heavier and more powerfull sounds to me like 2x shorter flights. And as it's ~2x more expensive, flight time sounds like super important info. If I missed it in your review, sorry and could someone point me to timestamp? Thx
It uses larger batteries so flight time is typical but it is not as nimble.
Hey Josh does turtle mode burn up esc and motors I keep reading about people saying this but then I hear people who use it regularly if you have time thanks
If you activate turtle mode and then smash the props against something repeatedly, then you're more likely to burn up the ESC. But in general, no, it doesn't burn things.
When looking at grass and trees there are all these like... rgb kinda pixels or whatever in the FPV feed, what is that? Moire? Is there a way to get rid of it? It’s fugly. And whats with that compression? I’m watching on a phone, every few seconds it gets blocky
If you're watching in mobile, TH-cam or your mobile carrier may be wrecking the video quality. Make sure you are watching in 1440 resolution for best quality.
Great video Josh, I want to get a new whoop mine is a beta65s and I would like to go faster with it. But I don't care about H.D at least in a TINY WHOOP series, I think that the best way for H.D video is using a 3in or bigger version. Thanks again.
Build a toothpick with your beta parts , maybe get the 1103 Motors from beta otherwise its just frame and prop swap
I have two pairs of RS1106ll 6000kv, fullspeed 1104 7500kv, and king Kong before LDARC XT1104 7500kv so I'm set for motors, but now all I need is money. Long story short. Parent have past away, Me & my brother selling family farm, then out of nowhere my cousin who doesn't own any part of the farm has sued me and my brother and anyone else who is involved with the sale is being sued for $500,000 and this is the 3 year it's been going on.
Hi Joshua ! I have the Mobula hd from a week , have you ever notice if yours is with loose props like mine ? As of today I find a lot of people with this model with the same problem.That is a big deal for the front props that if loose a couple of mm will break into to the camera chassis ...😫I hope it’s only a low quality propellers issue ...
How does this compare to the geprc tinygo?
What whoop do you think is the best
The inductrix fpv plus has turtle mode. I have my arm switch on a momentary switch and when its upside down I tap the arm switch and bam flips over
You finally got one! Yes!
Would love to know the general opinion after a few months now ... nobody speaks about it anymore ... Maybe everyone is waiting for the sailflyHD ?
Help! the leads for the camera joystick broke off in flight? is there another way to adjust the camera or do I need to solder?
Time to solder.
Great vid! When flying indoors are you using project mockingbird v3 like tinyhawk or stock?
PMB doesn't really feel good on the HD. Nick's tune is the best that I've found so far - just adjust rates to your liking.
Hi Joshua, since the onboard Frsky receiver has lockup issue and I really like the telemetry function. Do you think that it's possible to disable onboard receiver and install Frsky RXSR receiver ? Will the R-XSR works normally with telemetry on in D16 mode?
I thought I would ask this question here.. I've been told that the Pids should be changed when flying a 3s versus a 2 s.. Is this correct?.. I would like to hear this from a reliable source before changing anything.
I think you can find PIDs that work on both but if you're tuning on the edge yes it does matter.
@@JoshuaBardwellThanks :-)
Joshua send help lol I just got my mob 7 HD and I can't get it to fly .. I have a qx7 I went thru the set up it's binded on bf4.0 but it just says paralyzed and I can't get into the mode tab to set up an arm switch or even the osd tab .. I've been searching thru your vids I spent about 6 hours yesterday trying to get it flying is there something I'm missing?

This is the fix.
