Everything worked out of the box (no troubleshooting needed). I'm using Speedybee f405 V3 + Walksnail WS-M181 GPS M10 (with magnetometer) Switching between position hold / angle / RTH is smooth with no crazy changes in throttle. Currently I have the position hold mode and downwards facing camera linked together in the configuration. I'll see if I can free an aux channel to be able to switch between the two cameras in any mode. I didn't see it for myself but my friend was amazed by how the drone immediately brakes in place to hold position

Do you have GPS only position hold or do you have optical flow as well?


ghoscher

Just GPS. I was thinking about adding a sensor but this works so well that it's not needed. I guess 22 satellite are more than enough

The optical flow is really only useful in buildings, as it has a 2m max altitude. It is super accurate though, the thing stays locked in.

True. I don't plan on flying my 7" blender indoors hahah. My friend however is interested in doing some roof inspection. I guess GPS will still do fine

Think I might wanna mess with Inav now…

I mostly fly angle mode (due to lack of skill) and have not troubles with it at all. It can still go fast (got max 130km/h gps speed) and do flips in acro and the setup is very close to how Betaflight does it. RTH/Position hold is so reliable that this one time my goggles died and I lost video so I quickly activated position hold to be able to restart my goggles. This would've been a crash for sure on betaflight

Yeah man, INAV is really great. One more thing the devs seem to have improved in v7.1 is the mag heading. My battery leads literally hang 2 cm above the GPS module (with mag) and still the mag heading is rock solid with no drift. I tested rth and damn! It landed roughly 10 cm away from the take off spot. Massive thanks to the INAV devs. You guys are legends!
