I HAVE THAT EXACT USB ADAPTER!Here is my monitor/DVR setup.
Just wanted to let people know. That is all.
That USB Adapter is pretty terrible in terms of resolution, but it gets the job done for a cheap price.

I am, but did not post them there. I did post on /r/multicopter and https://www.facebook.com/groups/FPVRC/MannDude are you on rcforums.com? I sware I have seen your crash repair pics already somewhere else.

Oh nice. Comically my father is too, he's actually helped me with mine and I've helped him with his. We met up on my lunch break yesterday to fly in the field behind his house and he had his first flight on his new one, and I had my second. Though his quad is still a bit unstable, though that may be due to his custom landing gear and gimble in the front making the weight uneven. Unsure. His board probably needs adjusted too. Finally got his Q-Brain figured out though so it doesn't just flip over anymore, so that's a start.Oh ok thats where I saw it.. I am a member of that group also.
It can be addicting. But lots of fun also.@FLDataTeK That is just beautiful.
This just really wants me to get in on the quadcopter hobby haha.
So, I think I need to do that and try again. Looking forward to better self-level calculations. I was having issues with the quad continually drifting forward in self-level mode, so adjusted the trim pitch to a positive value as it was set to the stock value of zero. It seemed to be doing much better. Then out of nowhere it seemed to be set too high, as it'd drift backwards slightly and was over compensation. So re-adjusted, would hover, would drift, would re-adjust. It got to the point where it was back to zero (where it was originally, and where it was drifting forward) but now it was drifting backwards. Entered the negative values. Balance hadn't changed, I've got the the battery secured so it hadn't shifted or anything. Wonkiness. Also adjusted the trim on the radio, although everything was zeroed out on the board properly as it should have been. <shrugs>If you have a USBtiny the flashtool newer than 0.33 and older than 0.63 beta 11 will not work with until you replace the avrdude.exe and avrdude.conf in the folder /lib/avrdude/windows/ with the one in this download
I've got my Mobius 1080p action camera now, mounted it (poorly) to the quad and took some video today. Little screengab from earlier:
I should have adjusted the settings to account for the overcast. Would share the video but need to splice/upload and it's not very impressive as I'm still learning. Also, didn't want to take the quad too high as it was pretty windy and I have trees around me.
EDIT: Deadcat conversion will be in this week as well as some other minor little goodies.
Awesome! That's great flight time. I've actually not measured my flight times yet, though it should be less than usual as I swapped my 10" props for 8" ones, and it flys sooo much better now, which is strange I think considering I'm using 930kv motors but I'm still a newb to this.Sort of swapped them out on a whim and was impressed. I purchased some 9" carbon props to meet in the middle, but it flies too uncontrollably with them. They're 'DJI style', but I've found that they don't fit snug on the shaft on the motor... but I also can't get any shim/adapter in there either to correct this. I think the instability was due to them not being perfectly center, so I may need to sand down the inside or modify a shim to get them to work properly.Sweet.. I need to pickup a mobius also.
But I did pickup two 5000mah 4S batteries , a 12 volt uBEC and some HK DIY FPV goggles.
The goggles are on the slow boat from China but the batteries are here and are sweet... My first flight I got 19:53 minutes flight time before the voltage alarm went off. So I am totally impressed with them. Best $25 I have spent so far.
Here is the stuff I got..
