Great vids .. Your the ultimate Spry+ guy so hope you can help .. My drone is paired to controller fine as green light with satellites.. Camera & gimbal work but motors won’t engage .. Front legs flashing red & rear legs solid green .. It won’t let me do any calibrations.. like it’s froze .. tried to pair it again & still no good .. really appreciate your advice ☘️👍😀
I have poor video signal reception on my spry ( no more 250 meters)after some crash. Do you know whitch parts can I change , or maybe a upgrade to get more than 800 meters! Thanks
It's only an analog 5.8ghz video signal, if you're getting 250 meters, that's really good, especially if it's still flyable and not all fuzz, I mean you're never gonna get a great picture with analog 5.8ghz or any analog for that matter, just dipping behind a building will get you some brief but flyable lines and fuzz. The reason that the drone hobby when with analog in the first place, mainly the freestyle and racing drones, was because it's a relatively inexpensive technology that's been around a while, but mostly for it's low latency. Any drone or quad moving fast, above 35-40mph, (racing speeds are in the 50-80mph range) you must have low latency, anything above 15ms or so for racers and above 25ms for freestyle is unacceptable today, and a good way to crash. Seems like such a tiny amount of time, but when your drone is doing 60mph, and you see a tree branch at the last second, if your latency is like 75ms, your drone hits that branch before the image gets back to your goggles and you can react. That's why the DJI drones pushed data signals to the next level early on with tech like lightbridge and Occusync, whicht gives an amazing clear live feed for a long way away, but the latency at the further ranges can be well in excess of 100-200ms, which is fine for a photog drone cruising around at like 15-20mph. I just go my spy, so I haven't really pulled it apart to look at the insides yet. The best you could do off the top of my head, is get better vtx(video transmitter), the stock vtx is only 200mW, which is ok for flying within a couple hundred meters. Now they come in many other power levels which would fit in the spry, but the big problem with larger capacity VTXs is that they get hotter. The more powerful ones like that go up to and past 1Watt, get pretty damn hot, and when used are placed on the drone where it gets plenty of air circulation, not sure how it would fare in a closed sealed drone. Upgrading you antenna's could help too, need to look into that also.
ITS WORTH IT I HAVE MINE ....PARTS REPAIRABLE

i would love to have this drone but it's kind of pricey
why no sound to explaain stuff
