Why 30fps? The smoothed version gets a little blurry on the pans, though that might just be youtube bitrate limits.

Hardware limitation on the RunCam 5 Orange: https://shop.runcam.com/runcam-5-orange/ It can do 4k30 or 2.7k60 - but it’s also 56g, and durable enough that I “recovered” it from the top of a metal building a few days ago by knocking it down with a quadcopter and letting it fall 12’ onto pavement. Tradeoffs have to be made somewhere :) I mostly use it for hobby stuff. While I can record on my goggles, the image quality…

Fyi with the 1W VTX soon to be released for Sharkbyte now is a great time to jump in with the recent release of the HD Zero cameras - your Skyzones are some of the best goggles you can use for SharkByte / HDZero

What are you looking to do? Tripod-in-the-sky? Acrobatic crazy stuff? Cruising around? Speaking for myself, I wanted to feel like I was piloting something, not just stiffly moving a camera around. I thought I wanted long flight times but have since realized that I really wanted acrobatic ability. A 2S TinyWhoop drone is about $100-150 and is very durable. I wouldn't call it indestructible, because you can definitely…

I agree with all of the above, but am avoiding work and thought I’d chime in as well: > ExpressLRS: Open source radio control protocol. Range will exceed your battery. This is probably a good call for this audience. I expect ELRS will win out in the mid- to long-term for most things. A few people will stick with other protocols like TBS Crossfire or Tracer - I plan to, but honestly they don’t offer anything that ELRS…

Yeah, I'm less than a year into this hobby so I'm far from an authority.

Re: TX16S. I have both the TX16S (running EdgeTX) and the T-Lite. I strongly prefer the T-Lite for it's compactness and portability. If I succeed in shifting the fleet over to ELRS, I'll probably get a nano ELRS module for it. The TX16S is a very nice radio but I can fit the T-Lite, a whoop or 'pick, and my goggles in my backpack with tons of room to spare.

For SharkByte, I bought goggles with HDMI-in (Skyzone Cobra-X), with the anticipation of upgrading if my interest in the hobby held and the technology evolved. People look down on box goggles but I really appreciate the compatibility with glasses and being able to hand them to anyone with no adjustment needed. DJI's vendor lock-in puts right next to Apple in tech that I've just written off.

I believe sub250 is exempt from RemoteID for hobbyists because they are not required to be registered. If you're 107, then you still need it, of course.

> with Android and iOS apps coming For iOS that’s not gonna happen at least with distributing via App Store considering GPL-3 license.

Depends on who's GPL3 code is being distributed. If it's 100% Gyroflow's code, couldn't they distribute in the app store under whatever license is necessary while also hosting a GPL3 repos somewhere? Admittedly, not a great solution and Android is just always going to be more friendly for apps and use cases that fall outside of mainstream.

That’s true. It seems a young project but already got some PRs so those contributors potentially could always claim their rights to apple to remove from App Store.

Some alternative could be just instructions how to build yourself or distribution via AltStore.

Not in the graphic arts, but this is the most appropriate use of an .xyz domain I've yet seen.

.xyz is blowing up and gaining a lot of reputation. It's the new .io and .ai. Incredibly hip for your startup.

abc.xyz

block.xyz

Look at all the HN articles pouring in with this TLD: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

But you're right. Spatial domain products should jump all in on this.

And nigh worthless seeing as a lot of phone carriers will siliently delete your text if they spot a .xyz domain in it.

I use this regularly, with good results. Here’s an example comparison of flight footage from a RunCam 5 Orange on a 5” freestyle quadcopter: https://youtu.be/1ZORzfJ1sog

I'm surprised on how well it handled the roll at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZORzfJ1sog&t=106s . It's like it opted to immediately quit stabilizing for a second instead of coming up with some wired results.

It likely does two-way batch optimization (backward in time and forward). So, it has all the information it needs to know that a full loop is closed and that minimal-jitter paths include the full rotation. That is, a smooth path through "image space" is a loop.

Why would they do that? They will change policy anyway if the TLD keeps getting popular. You gotta see things for what they are headed not for what they are.
