I finally got 4.5 on my brain Fpv boards and all I can say is wow. It worked beautifully. I feel so much more confident flying out farther now
It’s allowed me to utilize my DJI O3 systems to their fullest without fear
Happy to hear that! Happy flying
Congratulations on your successful tests of RTH! I've only had to use that feature one time so far in real world flying but it was sooo nice to have. I use INAV and it is pretty easy to set up and use. It's nice to see that BetaFlight has this feature now too. I love the beautiful footage you get with that Helion and your flying style. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Happy flying amigo! 🍻
Thanks for the info! And great to hear you like it.
Absolutely amazing stuff, thank you for sharing your test and the amazing scenery as well! Subscribed for more 👍🏼
Thanks for the sub!
That's a great location to fly. I thought we had great locations here in Alaska, that looks awesome as well. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent, quality, clear content. Subbed.
Much appreciated! Thanks 🙏🏾
Thanks for this. I've been holding off on installing 4.5 on my long-range quads until more testing could be done.
Glad I could help
Thanks for sharing I will remember these settings when I fly my helion next week still need to set it up
Glad it helped and have fun
Epic video, just ordered my GPS, cant wait to try this out!
Have fun! And stay safe
Great work as always 😍
Thanks again man! You wake me up from a a lazy creative process
@@babang_des well now you are pushing me to be more creative 😎😅
Let’s gooooo man!!!!
This was unreal! I love it!
Thanks man!
Babang bro, thats awesome. was on the edge of my seat
Glad you enjoyed it. funny
Amazing!!! It's working 🎉 I have to try it with my BOB 5 7 😊 Great video!
Have fun! And don’t forget to subscribe 🫶🏾😂
I definitely feel more confident in the RTH abilities of betaflight 4.5
Same here! Better peace of mind 🫶🏾
That was a totally awesome landing
Great video ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you subscribe 🫶🏾
@@babang_des oh yes I’m subscribed 👍
🫶🏾
Nice video. You definitely live in FPV heaven
You got that right! It’s insane here
This is amazing man, I lost my Bob recently in Madiera, so I am going to do another build and do my test, I hope to not lose it again. Going to copy your settings for my build
Happy to hear. Hope the full release is out soon
How did it happen?
Sad!
congrats man!
Thanks! 🙏🏾
now that's exciting well done 👍
It sure is, for long range flights
Great video man! Got me a little nervous there 😅
You and me both! It was over doing it to be honest! I didn’t need to turn off the radio but for the name of science 🧪 we do all sort of sh.t
Awesome video thanks for this
Glad you liked it!
You´re an goddamn Artic Legend
Thanks brother 🫶🏾
Great video.
One thing I do, instead of powering off the TX, temporarily assign a switch to failsafe in the modes tab. This way, if your quad doesn't respond properly, you can quickly disengage the switch and take over control of your quad.
Thanks for the info! But I went all in JUST to show it’s possible if your controller turns off or what ever then it will work. All for Science 🧬😂. If Betaflight 4.5 claims to be good, then how good is it? Will my quads get crazy or will it act like it should?
I guess now we find out 😂🫶🏾
I'm so jealous, amazing place...
Yeah it is actually
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hey man great !
Hey, thanks!
Very nice thx for the video. Great job 😃👍 for BF 4.5 do you need the compass for RTH, or its only gps? Greatings from switzerland
No you don’t need it actually! Just make sure you have good good/solid connections and lock GPS
One thing I noticed is your baud rate was 11520. The new gps rescue wiki says this
The recommended baud rate is 57600. There is little to be gained by using 115200 with the recommended 10hz data rate. Lower baud rates reduce the CPU time required for parsing the incoming data and are more resistant to electrical noise.
Also, add mag and barometer. Especially the mag. It made a huge difference with returning to home in the wind. It's more sure of itself.
Thanks man!!!!! The 11520 was on the gps that I was using as recommended. I’ll do some more these on that!!!
That’s for the mag tips 🫶🏾
Do you know why a quad would fly home sideways? (But in the right direction)It does land within 0.5 meters From take off point tho. And its a lot of winds!
@christianmong-hansen1835 if it's fighting the wind it does fly at a angle.
@@squirrelynutz1 really? so it does that on purpose ?
@christianmong-hansen1835 if it's windy yes. It's at a angle to fight the wind and go straight.
Nice video!
Consider setting the failsafe in Betaflight to a switch on the controller next time. If for example during the rescue mode, the copter flips upside down during landing because it has hit an obstacle and your controller is turned off, you won't be able to DISARM while your copter is freaking out, attempts to drill itself to the center of earth.
The next thing is, it's better to land the copter with the motors running and then activate the Rescue Mode. If the Rescue Mode doesn't work, the motors will stop, but your copter won't fall out of the sky.
Yeah I wanted to do that but I went all in by turning it off for the experiment 🔬😂hahahah but yeah that’s true.
Failsafe of a switch is pointless it doesn't test failsafe just the operation of the mode you have to actually loose radio link to test the detection and correct opperation of failsafe.
Good to know, more test will be coming
Wrong@@MrStevegibb
@@dwalosie explain how i am wrong or shutup. A failsafe switch does not test the most important part of the failsafe setup, that your flight controller can tell you have lost signal.
You can test gps rescue with just a switch using failsafe on a switch virtually does the same.
The best way to test would be to fly to the other side of a sports field and land bur stay armed then turn off your radio it should just take off and fly home.
Obviously you would need to turn back on before it gets home.
Another way would be to put your drone radio into range test mode to allow you to simulate a signal loss at closer range.
I really need to out GPS on my next build. It is getting better. I seen some horror stories.
It happened to all of use.
Thanks 😊 very useful 👍 new sub 😉
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the sub🫶🏾
Wow! Thanks a lot for the video! So, what did you change in rescue mode - set to "Angle" instead of "Auto", right?
Yes, correct! And set to gps instead of auto.
After 9 years of flying multirotor, the 5v lead to my receiver on a 10" quad came off in flight. The soldered end of a cable is very brittle and vibrations in the frame or even wind can cause fatigue on the the strands. Scary moment. It came back safely with BF 4.4.2. I recommend that you apply liquid tape (or similar) over the solder point and cable so that the vibration or flex happens on the cable but not at the solder point.
Thanks for the tip! Sound scary to lose your quad
NICE FLYING! I JUST TESTED MY GPS RESCUE ON BETAFLIGHT 4.4 AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. PLS WHAT SETTING DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR LONG RANGE CROSSFIRE MODULE AND RX? DO YOU HAVE IT LOCKED AT 50/150HZ OR LEFT AT DYNAMIC ? THE MODULE AND RECEIVER POWER ETC?
I have it locked at 150
Great video, thanks!!!!! May I ask if it is correct to copy the entire 4.4.3 backup on the CLI to 4.5? Because I was thinking of doing it on the Moz 7
That is correct! I did it and it’s fine! But do some close flips before you go crazy
@@babang_des thanks a lot 🙏🏻
No stress
Super your video.
Could you explain better about the "User"
I have the Helion 10 with the Led.
How will the LED be configured?
Explain to me what your LED configuration does? Thank you
The user is basically the switch for the light switch! Check my next video about adding light on the Helion
Con tu comando en CLI ¿Pueses activar y desactivar la luz led? He sentido que la luz led consume batería en el vuelo y le quita minutos en el aire.
Yes! With the CLI commend you tur on or off the LED as you was.
I've always had pretty good luck with return to home on the previous iterations, but it took a couple attempts on this new one before it landed smoothly lol.
By chance, did you happen to test out the GPS mapping or log file that also comes with the new update? I have yet to get that to work or find any videos on how to make that work....
No I actually haven´t
They also fixed the mag compass on 4.5. So u can use the mag. Just got to calibrate compass like each time and make sure pointing right dorection. They also say to test. Cause i know sometimes ny iNAV gets interference and sometimes messes up 😆
Nice!
Nice video and what a great spot!
Do you use a magneto meter on that GPS unit? And is an M8 or M10 chip?
Thank you
It’s the latest Iflight M10. Highly recommended 🫶🏾
Great I got the same 😊
You will be happy
Nice flight,is there an way to set up altitude hold,I have same drone everything works great
Not possible only if using INAV
So changing current gps module with magnetic, betaflight won't support it
I’m actually don’t know!
Thanks for the clip. I just wonder if your descend speed should not be a little lower so the quad don't do woff woff wofff 🙂
You are correct 👍🏿 but the quads is a bit heavy and I don’t want to dropped it from the sky. I went for the fast ground speed and slow descent.
so in stage 1 do you change to aux 2 angle mode? if yes: why? does it turn itself the right way to hover?
Yeah!!! I add the aux to angle mode! Normally stage one the drone will be doing what you where doing before failsafe but I want to add it to turn the right way and climb up!
Hi Man ! Hope you re well ?
What s the difference between 4.4 and 4.5 rescue ? All my quads are on 4.4 and RTH works just super fine.
Do you know what is happening if for exemple, you re not receiving video in your goggles anymore, and then fail safe is activating and at the same time you panic et switch on the fail safe Button on your radio ? Is there any security ? Or it just cut off the failsafe ?
As far as I know if you Truly failsafe and you flip the switch then nothing will happen to the quad because there is no connection.
So if you lose imagine I would ALWAYS flip my switch.
Hex key on a zipper!!!! That's so clever!!! OMG!!!!!! Will do the same immediately!
And you will start loving photography again!
new sub here
Thanks for subbing!
Question please, I saw you using RadioMaster TX16S on your drone ! On the website it says the range for that controller is only 2km , but you used it for more! So did you get any problems in your controller? Thanks
I have added the crossfire module on it so I get more range than the default
@@babang_des thank you so much 🙏
🫶🏾
I‘m relatively new to the hobby. Does betaflight 4.5 also work with the nazgul evoque f5 v2?
Yes Betaflight should work on any quads 🫶🏾
Sounds Like DJI FPV, where you can Flip the Switch fromm Acro to full stabilaised. This would fullfill the GPS Integration top BF
Close enough
I really want to try this, unfortunately I use the brain Fpv radix on my copters so I have to wait for them to release the 4.5 FW specifically for their board.
It’s annoying, but the other aspects of the radix make it worth it for me anyway
Well I did for you some you don’t have to
I am so curious if I can get my Dronetag BS to do this. It does have a GPS. So could it work??
No it won’t! You need to get a separate gps
hello
does rc2 firmware working with the esc blheli programm
Yes it does! But install the RC1
you deserve a salute for having the guts testing full rth landing with transmitter turned off! i presently have BF4.4.0 and want to install 4.5.0 is it ok to apply my present config, diff files direct into 4.5.0? or do i still need to manually do everything from scratch?
Thanks man ! You can copy paste the configuration! But don’t install the RC2 version of Betaflight,
@@babang_des oh really? why is that so? what version of BF4.5 are you using? its only RC1 and RC2 now right?
Use the RC1,
@@babang_des why is that ? i did use the rc2 and uploaded the 4.5 and tune , works perfect ?
I had a bad experience with the RC2 so therefore I said that. I had to ice climbing to get my quad 😂
Amazing views ! I was in Norway in January, it was amazing ! What gloves do you use to fly ? I subscribe to your channel man ! Keep going the good work ! Tu parles français ?
Yow, Norway is awesome, Where in Norway where you? thanks for the sub et oui je parles francais, je suis d'origine Haitienne.
@@babang_des j’étais à Tromsø. C’était magnifique. Malheureusement impossible de filmer Tromso à cause de l’aéroport, j’avais pas de voiture pour me déplacer alors j’ai pas pu beaucoup volé. Mais c’était tellement magnifique !
@@babang_des et toi tu es de où ?
Je suis de la norvege, j'habite ici at Tromso.
Aller suis moi sur IG et DM moi.
Where can I get that sat widget? Cant seem to find it anywhere.
On the controller you mean?
@@babang_des Yes on the controller, I figured it out, I needed to discover all sensors from the crossfire and then the satellite option was available in the widget menu. Thanks for the fast reply.
No stress!!!
Wonder if i should switch my 8" back to betaflight from iNAV been on it for years. But sometimes mag interference seems to throw it off in some locations
INAV is by far better than Betaflight, BUTTT!!! There is a lack of information online about how to set it unless you want to deep dive into it. So for now return to have is more accurate than I need it to be so I’m staying here a bit longer 😂.
@babang_des yea but there is 2 spot I go for some reason iNAV comes back a long way. Going around me and back. Like something throws the compass off. It does come back but not straight.
Betaflight gps only comes straight back.
If you know how to set it up! Maybe you should teach us!
i lost my CLI dumps files in the process for my Helion How can i get them ? Can you help me ?
I think iflight have my CLI! If you can’t just DM me on IG and I fix
I always have to manual select my rx port after bringing over 4.4 or 4.3 cli
I think it’s working now I still haven’t have any issues
@@babang_des it's weird cause I was told serial port cli settings haven't changed on any of the betaflight updated 😂
I don’t know about that but from 4.4 to 4.5 I just copy paste
Did you have a compass too? Or only gps, baro, gyro, and accelerometer?
I don’t have a compass on it! Only gps, Baro, and so on!!!
@@babang_des Thank you sir! I've been asking this question in several forums and you're the only person who has replied! I just wanted to know if Betaflight can manage RTH without a compass but with just GPS, baro, gyro, and accelerometer!
Yes it does. You don’t need a compass
What type of receiver do you use? Long-range
I’m still using the TBS crossfire diversity
i have a windows, and cant flash the file it cant detect when in bootloader mode... do you know what to do ?
Try to download the driver fixer from impulse RC!
@@babang_des did try that , and now i tested the 4.5 with the iflight tune, landed within 0.5 meters from take-off point !! works like a dream.
Insane! You flying the RC 1 or RC2?
You are crazy mate 😁🤣🤣
Takes one to know one 😂🫶🏾
How cold was it there? Looks cold
Don’t remember really! But probably -10 C°
Nice, as a long range pilot drone, +1 subs from me hehe
Thanks for the sub!
@@babang_des your welcome mate

yeah

Sorry my English is not the best. At 2:45 a window opens on the left. What data is that exactly in the window? You then copy it into the BF CLI. Do the LEDs still work? Iflight isn't quite convinced about BF 4.5 yet. I want to do it on my Evoque, but I don't really trust it yet. Goggle translated.
Sorry mein Englisch ist nicht das beste. Bei 2:45 geht links ein Fenster auf. Welche Daten sind das genau in dem Fenster. Die kopierst du dann in das CLI von BF. Die LEDs gehen dann auch noch? Iflight ist noch nicht so ganz überzeugt von BF 4.5 Ich müchte es auf meiner Evoque machen, traue micht noch nicht so wirklich. Goggle übersetzt.
At 2:35 I said you can copy your BF back up from 4.4 and past it to BF 4.5 CL with no problem. You can try the 4:5 but just be careful 🫶🏾
What GPS model is mounted on the quad please? Also I see that you are using 4500mAh LiPo battery...why not to use Li-Ion? You would get twice the capacity with the same weight...also it is better not to completely turn off the radio when testing GPS Rescue on RX loss, much better is to create a new model in with disabled radio, so you can switch quickly back...
I’m using the M10 from iflight and I don’t used Li-Ion because on these bigger machines you pulling something 45amps or more when pulling off a dive and I can’t deal will killing Li-ion that often. And in the cold they are really bad! I rather get there and back fast that spend too much time up there
I turned off the radio just because I wanted to show that there isn’t any connection!!!!!
I copied what you did but i dont get any input from my controller i have tbs tango 2 pro crossfire i also have helion 10 im new to the hobby and dont understand.
What did you copy? The GPS ?
I created a backup and loaded it into 4.5.
What happened? It should, it has for me at least!
I don’t get any stick input or aux from my controller on 4.5 i get nothing in the receiver tab.
This is weird! Have you checked your Aux mode?
Betaflight firmware does not use a barometer for GPS rescue. Barometer for OSD only.
Thanks for the clarification! But the altitude is from the barometer right?
Its hard to get a gps signal up in the mountain
Not really!!! With the new gps M10s I got 10 to 20 sat under a minute. Just like a regular DJI.
@@babang_des thats nice!
🫶🏾
If I want drone with GPS, I'd forget Betaflight and go straight to INAV.
Yeah there is no comparison or argument there INAV will win by light years ahead. But they don’t fly the same and I’m struggling finding a good way to set up INAV on my quads. I have a few quads with INAV but I can’t get them working properly due to lack of tutorials. Soooo I’m here for the time being 🫶🏾
@babang_des exactly the same here... tried Inav... stock tunes are awful... as in they are dangerous lol. I dont know how to tune properly so I'm still with BF for the time being. Betaflight make it so easy.... even though bf defaults might be a bit slack and generic... they do fly well! I can't even get inav to get safe flight.
@@FPV-TV419 I don't really feel the difference, maybe because I don't fly flippy floppy that much. My only Betaflight drone is flywoo cinerace20.
That’s a solid one
👏👏👏🤌😉
Insane!!!
