Todays exciting picture taken on the keyboard of my laptop



Ahhh, the horror, it's another TS5823.  I sent Banggood a video showing the terrible white line interference and so they sent me... another one.  Oh well, this one will hopefully be ok.

More interesting for me, the other object is the S-OSD, which should plug straight into a Naza and show me all the relevant stuff.  This is a sort of all-in-one manufactured unit that developed out of people doing tricky soldering on the minim-osd.  There's no docs, and all the videos on youtube are in Chinese - but it seems to look straightforward enough

I'm so happy  :whackydance:

This is what arrived for me today.

This actually arrived a couple of days ago, but I've only just had chance to look at it.....   

It's the launch ramp I bought in an impulsive strop,  having bent my Funjet Ultra and  Z3 in one evening after failed launches   :(

I'll see how I go with it but as soon as the crops are up I can't see me bothering, they'll cushion any future cock ups I hope ;D

Got about 2 miles of bungee and a ruddy great dog stake thing to screw in to hold it in place.   I'll probably be found with that impaled in my forehead or
dead in the middle of the field after being launched there, having got it all wrapped round my ankles as I press the pedal. .....     :+

I like the idea of the scanning. Please do a review of how you find it if you could Chris. I'd be interested to see if it picks out any broadcast ( particularly a wrong channel that is close ) or if it locks onto the correct channel only.
And this was at home.

Ok, so a very quick first look at the RC58 video receiver...

It's wet out so an in-flight review will need to wait, however...

On the face of it it seems to work fine. We tested it with our new Aomway 200mw vtx and a Boscam ( ? ) running IRC frequencies.

The auto tune found them both easily but you should check the channel/freq it has selected as it will stop on the first channel it gets a picture, so in the case of my hex running on 5980, it stoped at 5985 which appeared to give a good picture but of course as soon as you get a bit of distance will break up. Pressing the scan button again and it continued thru the channels before stopping again , this time at 5980. Yes, the scan does both bands and channels.

It only auto tunes when you press the button rather than constantly running in some kind of auto seek mode, so there should be no fear of it randomly going off and changing channels mid-flight. That's assuming it's been engineered well.

The picture quality, whilst testing in the garage, appeared to be as good as expected with no artifacts or lines.

There is not a lot more we can say about it at the moment, but if we can get out tomorrow then we will try it out in the air at range.

Isaw EXtreme action camera finally turned up ;D

Oh and a new banner for my company but that's nowhere near as exciting ;)
