As most seem to be missing this in the video description... Further testing has shown that the cover is, in fact, made of metal. See instagram.com/p/CSYzg4krVNs/

Sure sounded like it was a metal top when you dropped it.

[@thatguycarlos]

word. That's aluminum for sure. Scratch the inside to check.

[@SundayShi]

It’s metal for sure, why would any heatsink be made of plastic? Must cost a lot (compared to injection molding plastic) to CNC the piece.

[@typxxilps]

to make it look better as always cause I guess it is no metal, just plated plastic that looks better than it is except weight wise cause plastic will be lighter than a metal one.

[@FraggsUK]

We used to put the piston from blown up nitro engines on our key rings, I wonder if we will do the same with blown vtx's if they look as good as the speedy bee😄

[@ApacheFPV]

can confirm, hooked my first tx800 to VCC and fried it, it now lives on my key ring

[@NATGEOANDSTUFFPaulbrannan]

Looks great lee.keep up the great work.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful little VTX, Lee! Great review! 😃
Maybe it's time for a new build? Who knows... 🤔
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@primoziskra6394]

Look like alu cover for cooling. But heat pad is so thick i don't think it help any.

[@BenHelweg]

Works, the casing gets scalding hot at load.

[@typxxilps]

Will we see an update regarding the typical use case like picture quality and signal strength or range ?
This was just about the pieces in the box and its connectors but not about its real world performance.
I like the idea how they started to make things and that each comes in a box well packaged since the Kopilot appeared for the very first time in such box and packaging

[@Painless360]

This is a 'FIRST LOOK' video so exactly that. We will see how it performs when it is fitted and flown into a model... Stay tuned!

[@dazzdoodlzfpv1020]

20x20 yh? I have the speedybeev2 stack would pair up great with this shame its 20x20 but would stack higher than I would like. Great video as always

[@YuriuSSS]

take multimeter and test it if it's metal cover, most of us sure it is

[@typxxilps]

based on the noise it made it sounded like plastic and using the multimeter might not really help if they had anodized the plastic with a thin layer of metal which for sure will let the power through but is not indicator that this is a full metal plate.

[@YuriuSSS]

@@typxxilps yes, it is anodized, but there's CNC mashined edges, so it has to beep on this edges)

[@Nine_883]

Looks just like a Rush FPV video transmitter.

[@Varian_t]

Looks cool 😸

[@ludofevrier5593]

Hi no microphone ( pas de micro intégré)? Tks 🤟👌🏼

[@chriscflint]

Pity the top piece is not aluminium as it would have been a great heatsink.

[@wtfmimshag]

Its a nice VTX but 5v DC in is an anomoly on wing controllers (rather than a dedicated 9v rail) and inav support for irc tramp sucks....

[@SpaceStickwithSpaceTick]

Is it having a good manual a joke? I bought one and there is no where to find any information... Not using IRC and I thus cannot figure out how to change settings with the button...

[@BenHelweg]

It's really confusing without proper instructions. I managed to work it out after looking at the diagram on their website. It works by press durations, so a short press configures channel, longer press band and longest is power setting. None will do anything (except pit mode) without unlocking it first. (10sec button hold).
Boscam and maybe other bands are only possible to enter when power is set to 200mW or greater, which confuses things.
Having the receiver powered on helps to find the channel you're on as although the lights blink the number corresponding, it's still hard to work out without visual feedback.

Hi! I want to install PX4 with QGC in my Cube Orange to work with the MAVSDK, but I have some problems with the drivers. What version and how should I install PX4 in the cube orange?

[@Painless360]

No idea. Best of luck with it

[@juanbautistamoromegias7072]

@@Painless360 Sorry painless, could you advise me at least where to look? I dont think it would be very difficult, but when I install "cubepilot_cubeorange_default.px4" the Mavlink port COM 10 doesnt communicate good, what would you do?

[@lowies1dubbing]

There is an error on the vtxtable json file on the speedybee site.
Falue power level 3 and 4 is twice 600 and not 400 and 800.
Very sloppy from speedybee.
Hope they fix this.

[@Painless360]

Have you let them know? I've passed this onto them in case you haven't.. Happy flying!

[@lowies1dubbing]

@@Painless360 No not yet, but I found out today.
But now that they know, other users can take advantage of it.
Thanks & Happy flying.

[@lowies1dubbing]

@@Painless360 I think I was wrong now.
Irc Tramp protocol has no higher value than 600.
The json file may well be correct.
-----------------------------
power levels 5
It should be value;
25,200,400,600,600
The Label;
25,200,400,800,800
-----------------------------
Now it may switch to the highest
values 800 mW.

[@Painless360]

I suspect you are right. They came back to me after checking it and it all looked on at their end.. Happy flying!

[@lowies1dubbing]

@@Painless360 Now to have everything sorted out.
Now the final correction.
Power level 4 ;
25,200,400,600
Label ;
25,200,400,800
It works fine for me now ;-)

[@ashleyarundel3134]

Pity the bling cover isn't metal and used as a heat sink, think they've miss a trick there.

[@Painless360]

See note in description... Happy flying!

Sinstered metal.

Sadly it's mmcx. Only had trouble with them. No pros just cons.
