Doesn't need to be the worlds best quad, a cinewhoop would probably do. Easier to see if you fly over the forest with a bottom mounted camera.
it's probably in the top branches of a tree.
Or fly really high (300-400m) and shoot 4k video from above and then go through the video with a fine toothcomb to see if you can spot anything. Fly at a reasonably high altitude, but not too high, maybe 100-200m high, so you are above the treeline and fly a grid search pattern. Get another quad, mount a camera (GoPro, etc) on the underside at a 45deg angle. But, I prefer a much shorter walk of shame. If you have really good eyes and ears, or like to gamble, 1km+ is for you. so I figured I need 90' right to come home. I flipped into angle mode and tried to do "hover" throttle. As I punched throttle, video went to static and black. This weekend, more video failures similar to yours. Rarely maybe a 1km (even with 915Mhz ELRS) I also try to keep track of and fly directly between "waypoints" - park bench, streetlight, big oak. The only suggestion I can make is that you go back in winter when all the leaves have fallen off the trees to see if you can then spot it stuck high up in the branches somewhere.ġ28GB microsd - make a habit to dvr record in goggles. I can only guess that it's stuck in the top of the tree canopy somewhere camouflaged by all the leaves. The fact that you are running two different systems for your video and RC Link and the fact that both went out at the same time according to your description sounds like your quad suffered a power loss of some sort, or the battery came loose and fell off / disconnected itself from the quad, in which case a buzzer is going to be of no use unfortunately unless it's a self-powered buzzer in which case it will start automatically beeping and continue to do so for several hours until it's mini onboard LiPo runs out of juice. The same works for FreedomTX on the Tango 2 as well. TMac's video below walks you through the whole process of setting that up. Then at least you will have a record stored on your Tango 2 of the last known GPS co-ordinates and altitude which you can also load up in Goggle Earth to see which direction it was headed just before it crashed / lost communication with the Transmitter. If you're using Crossfire you need to set up telemetry logging as a matter of priority on any quad that you have both Crossfire and GPS installed on.
Did you not configure GPS rescue in the event of a failsafe? If you did then it suggests there was either a complete power failure of the quad or the Air Unit lost power for some reason, otherwise it would have tried to return back to the take-off point.įrom your previous posts I just made an assumption that you were using the DJI FPV System and DJI Controller. You obviously need to try and re-establish a link before the battery dies.
#Dji wallsaver manual#
I'm guessing that the OP didn't write down the co-ordinates or doesn't have them showing in the screen, in which case there is nothing much that can be done other than a manual - Did you try walking around with the DJI Controller to see if it would re-establish a link? I'm guessing you probably already tried that otherwise you wouldn't be asking on here but just throwing out suggestions. That's also assuming Betaflight OSD has been configured to show the GPS co-ordinates on-screen. The only thing you can do in the case of a lost connection with the DJI FPV System is to immediately make a note of the GPS co-ordinates in the goggle screens before the DJI screensaver kicks in which I think happens about a minute or two after a connection is completely lost with the Air Unit. I believe the OP is also using the DJI Controller so there is also no way to log GPS telemetry data on that either. The OP is using the DJI FPV System which unfortunately doesn't support recording of the Betaflight OSD elements.
