A couple things that have helped me are,

keep the connections cleaned every couple months. The dust and dirt does make a difference.

the Omni antenna should be tall enough to clear the top of your head. It’ll give better reception behind you.

a cheap yet surprisingly good camera is the Runcam phoenix. JB edition just has deeper color. Both are great.

keep the wires to the cam and vtx as short as you can this helps with RF noise, and twist them.

a used mechanical pencil eraser will polish your fpv camera lens.

check and reset your camera lens focus for time to time as vibration/crashes over time will unfocus it.

last two

the connectors do wear out over time and will give worse performance.

if your good with a soldering iron, you can direct solder antennas and get better performance from them. But I wouldn’t mess with that unless your confident in that area.

I know that’s lot haha, I hope some of that helps you.

It depends. What quad are you using? Is it a bnf? Some things you can do:

1. Upgrade goggle antennas (stock are... fine, but you could do better).

2. If available, turn up output power.

3. Try changing channels. Race1 (lower frequencies) usually has better range/penetration, but Race8 is high enough to be out of the range of wifi devices. Also, considering the tuning of antennas certain channels might perform better. Play around with it.

4. Maybe better camera? Is there a capacitor? I think that helps. Does your vtx have a 5v output? If so, running the camera off of that might give a cleaner signal.

At the end of the day, those goggles won't be groundbreaking, but you can improve them a bit.

@plsdontcrash I use an electronic silicon rubber glue called 703 to help fix ufl onto boards. It's not perfect but does help. It comes in a tube. It's Chinese. You'll find it on AliExpress

The weather is pretty crap here so I also use it as an added weather proofing measure to cover motor wire solder joints.

@plsdontcrash I don't see why not. The fabric tape type might be good for that. Comes in small width and makes it easier for wee spaces.

I have that transmitter. after about a year of use the sticks wont read exact readings. the readings will kind of jitter around above the regular kind. I recommend replacing the gimbals on your transmitter or getting a new one.

Hey, Looks like you are in flip after crash mode. You can look at this video and make sure to follow all the steps to get your drone working

Especially the bit about the modes tab. (5:50)

Go to the CLI tab in Betaflight Configurator and click `Submit Support Data`, then send the resulting ID in a reply

When you forget the heat shrink after swapping a motor..

😂 Happens every third time without fail.

Build Spec:

Did you try to recalibrate?

Not sure on the EMAX E8 but on Pocket radio I can manually change outputs for sticks MIN / MAX.

I assume @justin28 was asking about T-Mount props specifically, which have one hole for the shaft and one on each side for an M2 bolt

Thanks for including a video of your issue!

- It looks like you may be in, Flip Over After Crash AKA "Turtle Mode"

- verify your switch mode assignments in Betaflight Configurator under the Modes tab.

I highly recommend reviewing the Betaflight Wiki, it's a great resource.

good idea. Always nice to have a betaflight dev ready to help out😁

Run through the calibration process on the radio. If that does not work, set the "Stick Low Threshold" a bit higher. It can be found in the Receiver tab in Betaflight Configurator

Recalibrate Transmitter.

I dont have that transmitter, but i would plug it in to betaflight, go to receiver tab, and check what the inputs are doing. If you can recalibrate the gimbals on that transmitter i would do that too
