If you are not satisfied with your old normal goggle? then have a look at the walkera goggle 3(http://www.oomodel.com/walkera-goggle-3-fpv-3d-video-360%C3%82%C2%B0-58g-outdoor-fpv-aerial-glass-p-67538.html),it’s the first 3D fpv goggle from walkera, it’s mainly different in the following aspects from walkera goggle 2:

1, It’s a 3D video glasses, you can use Goggle 3 watch 720 p HD 3D video.

2, 360° Outdoor FPV aerial photography and head tracking.The gimbal will bring the camera to achieve real-time tracking following the wearers’ head action.

3, Stereo experienceUse 3.5mm 3 degree headphone jack, stereo audio output.

4, Low voltage alarm sound.When the voltage is too low, it will trigger alarm beeps.

5, 5.8G reception, 32 selectable channels,with standard 5.8G antenna and 5.8G mushroom antenna for long-range transmission.Goggle 2 offers only 8channels to select from.

We can see the walkera goggle 3 is more advanced than the goggle2, but price is also more advanced.

How To DIY FPV Goggles

We’ve seem lots of people talking about fpv goggles, diy fpv goggles, chossing fpv goggles, if you have enought $$ then you can just pick a good one and bring it home. If you want to get one with less $$, then you can try diy.

First of all, prepare 2 pieces 3 inch snow screen,magic mirror,image transission rx, battery and a few cables and connectors, that’s all what we need.

Then we fix the 2 screens, put the 2 fixed screen into the magic mirror,fasten the image transission rx and battery, everything is done.

Just one thing to mention, the quality of the screen is very important, so make sure you get the proper one. Usually this DIYs are much cheaper than the branded fpv goggles(http://www.oomodel.com/fpv-gogglesglasses-c-391_552.html) in the market.

Walkera Runner 250 VS Runner 250 Advanced

The walkera factory has released the newer version Walkera runner 250 advanced(http://www.oomodel.com/walkera-runner-250-advance-wgps-cameraosd-devo7-rtf-combo5-p-67533.html), it comes with 1080 hd camera which makes it more Professional.

Actually, there are also a few other features of this new model:

Fristly, it has GPS function, which makes it easier for beginners to fly safely.

Secondly, it has buzzle alarm function which makes it easier to find.

Thirdly, it comes with new flight control system.

Lastly, it has intelligent lights to indicate directions while it’s turning left or right.

It’s more of modular design, with a effective distance of 1km. Basically it’s a very good choice for fpv beginners.

DIY DJI Phantom

We all like dji phantom(http://www.oomodel.com/dji-phantom-3-advanced-fpv-quadcopter-p-67284.html), it’s a mark of fpv drones, but we also like longer flight time, longer range, maybe also better quality vedios,we do see many friends are diy dji phantoms, some of them are beautiful and successful.

This friend has diyed the dji phantom with dji naza controller, dji mini osd with bluetooth, 2212 900kv motor, 9038 propeller, 200mw transmission, gopro hero 3 camera, brushless gimbal,which makes a total weight of 1kg without battery, the space inside the phantom canopy could hold a 5200mah battery which is very important.

But we suggest to put the esc under the propeller instead of in the canopy, then it won’t get hot very soon, it’s a very good diy though.

Walkera H500 Quadcopter Unlock Problem & Trouble Shooting

The Walkera Tali H500 Quadcopter is known as a very good all-in-one fpv set, it’s well-equipped and very stable, a middium size 6 rotors multicopter, a few days ago, one of our customers run into a problem in unlocking the walkera h500, he tried quite a few hours in different method with no success. Finally we decide to try this copter with another radio walkera devo f12E and it worked properly which made it looks really wired. We then compare the parameters in the 2 radios and finally found out the problem.

There are a few trimmers on all the walkera radios, and each of them performs different functions. We tried out that when we turned the throttle trimmer to a certain value, such as 80 or above, then it’s unable to unlock the quadcopter, but when we turn it to 50 or bellow, we have no problem unlocking it.You may try it if you have problem in unlocking your walkera quadcopters:)

Walkera Tali H500 VS DJI Phantom 2 Vision +

Walkera Tali H500 VS DJI Phantom 2 Vision +
Many people told us they’ve been thinking about get an all-in-one FPV multicopter, not sure which one to go, especially don’t know if the dji phantom 2 vision + or the walkera tali h500 will be better, here bellow we will make a basic comparision between them.

We do think DJI is more reliable as there are more people are flying them, they’ve been tested more than enough. But it’s hard to make a final decision as the dji phantom 2 vision + is 4 rotors, while the walkera tali h500 is 6 rotors multicopter, the 6 rotors will be more powerful and also bigger in size.

Walkera h500 also has its advantages, such as it’s camera can be changed to gopro, while dji phantom comes with it’s camera and can’t be changed, and the walkera radio is more professional than dji,but the dji phantom is compatible with futaba radio. Also it adopted 22.2v 5400mah battery which will provide a 20+ minutes flying time, while dji phantom adopted 11.1v 5200mah battery which provides around 15 minutes.

People say if we say the dji phantom 2 vision + is like iphone 5s, then the walkea h500 will be note 3:)

Walkera G-2D Gimbal Troubleshooting

Walkera G-2D Gimbal Troubleshooting
Many friends are using the walkera g-2d gimbal, and meet different problems in making it
work properly, most of the time it’s just because they didn’t set it up correctly, and
some of the rules are not included in instruction, here we have listed some of them:

1. If you do not need to use radio to control the gimbal, please set the SW switch to 0,
and adjust V1 V2 to 0 as well;

2. If the remote control can only control one channel of the gimbal(usually choose to
Control PIT-pitch), please switch SW to 1, and adjust the direction + of V1 or V2 to the
right angle, if you don’t use the channel, please have V1 or V2 at 0. For example, if only
control PIT channel, just adjust certain angle in the direction of V1+,while the unused V2
must be set in 0;
3. If you want to use the PIT and ROLL channel, please switch SW to 1, adjust direction +
of V1,V2 to a certain angle, the larger the adjusted angle is, the wider the angle to the
steering of the gimbal and the angle will be increased to a max of 90 degrees accordingly.

This gimbal is a good choice for the x350 and x350 pro, you sometimes just need to give it
a bit more patience:), and it’s economical anyway!
