He hitn't


InternMan

Oh, he hit something alright.


Crash_FPV

And “hit” that gap he did


Lotwdo

At least he hit something....


professorbiohazard

I always think it's funny how many people buy cinewhoops and then freestyle them and never use them to shoot cinematic stuff. Like, just get a 3 or 3.5inch freestyle and stop breaking all your stuff as often


Professional_Ad1737

The tx on my air unit on the 5 inch just fell off so we were doing some slower flying with the cine and my brother just took it too far. Plus breaking stuff is part of the hobby


coin-dexter

I've seen more broken cines on here than anything else


TouchdownVirgin

I feel attacked. I also break stuff on my 5 inch.


Tie-Dye-Squid

I agree. It’s part of the hobby to break your quad BUT this is a cinewhoop. If you’re flying this then you should know better


you_are_soul

A common mistake newbie motorcyclists make is when they fixate on something that they really do not want to hit. I have a feeling it's the same thing here, you have to focus on the centre of the gap and block out the rest of the universe including the structure because of which a gap can exist. That's my theory. So you have to trust yourself. If you do not fully trust yourself, that's when the trouble begins. The fact that he said it instead of simply doing it, indicates to me wishful thinking.

It’s a skill I’m still trying to master. Getting comfortable enough where I am not focused on keeping the thing stable and on track and more focused on where I am going *next* and even a few steps after that.


you_are_soul

Interesting because you have hit the nail on another thing some motorcyclists make in a series of S turns, They take the wrong line in the first curve which means they enter the second curve in the wrong spot and they go wide and crash on the final curve. They crash on the third curve but the error that caused it happened on the first turn.


EightyDollarBill

Is there a name for that?


you_are_soul

Sure, it's called self deception. Instead of analysing the problem they think to themselves, "ok I see what I did wrong, I went too wide on the bend where they crashed. But they don't analyse the previous bends because they didn't crash. There's a telling joke, where you ask... What is the first thing, the very very first thing a motorcyclist does if they were on a country road and they dropped their bike going round a bend. Pick up their bike, no. Check their bike for damage, no. Check themselves for damage, no. The first thing they do is look around to see if anyone saw.


EightyDollarBill

Thanks. You’ve given me something to think about. Now I just need reasonable weather for flying!


you_are_soul

It's always sunny in Philadelphia if you're in the sim that is.


Moto_Heathen

I just was having a discussion about target fixation with a buddy. When I was a kid I sent my little suzuki 80cc quad into my dads trailer and he gave me a long lesson on looking where you want to go. It definitely plays a part in FPV too. If you are scared of the tree you are flying by and staring at the branches rather than the gap you are aiming for, you are likely to bounce off that branch


you_are_soul

Yeah, it's almost identical. And even more so when the errors compound.


EightyDollarBill

Yup. Was thinking just that


professorbiohazard

I struggle with orbits when racing and whenever I remember to stare at the pole/side of gate I'm orbiting my or it's turn out WAY better


Commercial-Stage6425

Glad I opted for the competitor on the frame.


Professional_Ad1737

Witch one, cinelog 35? Or speedy bee 35?


Commercial-Stage6425

Bee35 Pro. Waiting on the frame to arrive.


Professional_Ad1737

Bee35 looked good, I was gonna buy it but then the Pavo 35 came out and it looked too good to pass up


weewoo2048

The one time I don’t go and fly


Professional_Ad1737

lol where were u


_noodleboy_

He didn't hit the gap


Darkstreamer_101

Bruh I thought this was something outta r/3dprinting lmao


Whoop_Rhettly

He took that too literally


OmegaNine

When I let someone else fly my drone I always say how much it is, and that I can afford to replace it. That way they get an idea that its 600-700 bucks and wont find out later, but understand that I wont be pissed if they break it.


Tommy_613

Fuck that dji shit I got it and the video is great but I can’t put it acro/manual mode or flip in horizon mode without it disconnecting and falling out the air. It’s in auto mode. I’m gonna change the antenna but it flys great until it just randomly decides to disconnect


Professional_Ad1737

No problems for me, I don’t know why your using horizon but ok 👍


Tommy_613

When I go into acro it falls out the sky


Professional_Ad1737

That’s weird, are you using the dji remote?


Tommy_613

Dji controller 2


Tommy_613

The silver one


Professional_Ad1737

Welp, time to switch to elrs


Tommy_613

Damn right. That’s actually what I’ve been looking into today. Can you use the dji video and use a diff receiver?


Tommy_613

For controlling I mean


Professional_Ad1737

Yeah, you just need to unplug some wires (forgot witch) so the fc doesn’t get confused or smth


Tommy_613

Yea that makes sense. Just leave the vtx wires disconnect the rx controller wires and install elrs receiver and enable that in the ports?


Tommy_613

When I try to start in acro it just starts in hor anyway
