A perfect day to test these Acehe Formula 95C Lipos. I've killed a few LiPos recently with the EMAX Hawk 5, mainly because I just push it too far and too long at full power. So I refreshed with some of these Acehe Formula 95C LiPos. It's difficult to describe the difference with these batteries other than wow! Not exactly a scientific test.
It really is like night and day between these and any of the other batteries I've had. I always thought battery hype was just that - hype. But these really are exceptional.
They punch and they never seem to sag from start to end. When they do drop off it's pretty smart, so keep an eye on voltages.
Although they are really designed for hardcore racers, I'm gonna be using on everything from now on. I used the 1300 mAh which gave me a good 4 minutes of pretty hard flying. I'm not sure the 1500mAh are worth the extra cost and weight.
They are a perfect match for the EMAX Hawk 5 with the Avian props. These props are fairly battery draining because they have significant constant 4.3 pitch throughout the blade.

But I notice these are selling out fast I guess because they are so good.

It's always advisable to use a switch to arm and disarm your quadcopter so you don't accidentally disarm it with the default stick settings in flight.

Can you mount a GoPro Session on a ViFly X150? It turns out there's a really nice mount available that you can bolt directly to the camera brackets without using a velcro strap. It's very secure, protects your camera and still allows you to easily access the GoPro buttons and SD card door.

The Jumper T-Lite V2 has just been released and I've managed to get my hands on one for a review. I opted for the one that has an internal 150mW ELRS receiver and comes flawed with the latest version of EdgeTX. However you can buy this with the JP 4in 1 multi protocol receiver that supports about 40 different protocols so you can control just about anything with this.

Following the recent DJI Googles update I advised you activate and upgrade to version 1.00.0606 just in case DJI attempt to lock you out and not be able to revert to older firmware versions. I've had a load of questions about how and do I need it fitted to a quad, flight controller or camera. No you don't - it can be done really easily on the bench.

ViFly have just released the new Finder Mini drone finder. It's a mini version designed to fit to small quads and whoops. It's a perfect for finding lost small quads and whoops.
VIFLY Finder Mini is a smaller version of VIFLY Finder 2, weighs only 2.7g that would be the perfect drone buzzer for a compact build. The VIFLY Finder Mini uses the loudest small buzzer available and the volume can be up to 100 dB.

I've had many questions about how to remove the captive washer on the bolts so you can bolt the extender on with longer bolts and attach the damper and string to support the heavier X5 camera.
If you haven't watched the first part of this it's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIts8uxWFZk
Hopefully this update shows an easy way to remove the washer without inflicting any damage. It was hard to video this in close up and keep it all in focus, but I think you'll see how it's done.
Remember these are available ready built https://www.xcopters.co.uk/shop/dji-osmo-x5-z-axis-damper or you can follow the video to build your own.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1908715 is the STL file to 3D print your own extender.
