I have an Eachine E010 and the Furibee F36 that I had whooped by soldering a micro camera + VTx. Both use the same Eachine E010 battery.

Does anyone know where to buy batteries for the Eachine E010.

150mAh 45C.

Checked on Banggood, eBay etc... apparently China suppliers all refuse to ship this battery to Msia.

I'm using these Floureon H101 260mAh 30C battery from Gearbest. You can get them at http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopter-part...l?lkid=10406000.

Make sure you use the Priority Line for shipping. I find this the only option to get battery shipped to Malaysia.

Oh nice! What microquad are you using these on?

What type of connectors do these batts have? If they're not the Eachine one, I will need to find the corresponding one to solder to the power terminals.

The connector is different, is a Micro Losi/Walkera instead of JST-PH 2.0 as what used buy E010 or F36. You can either solder 1 extra connector or cut the current connector on the FC to enable you plugging in this Micro Losi/Walkera connector. For more information on how to modify this, please visit https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2920424 and go to post #2.

I'm whooping with my custom SilverWhoop v2 that I build from scratch. Details at https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2780269.

That's a damn nice step-by-step tutorial. Sweet!

Bought 2 sets of those Floureon batts on Gearbest.

Went to eBay and got some 2-pin Walkera connectors. Along the way I saw some 3amp LC filters (looks like pre-built torroid inductor + capacitor) for like under US$2 a pop, grabbed a few of those too for my upcoming HJ-Y3 tricopter build and maybe an HMF-Y600 tricopter GoPro platform in the future (using 4215-650KV motors, 30A ESCs & APM 2.6 repurposed from an S500 quadcopter project that never happened).

I'm a happy chappy.

Thanks heaps, mate!

Glads it helped. Shipping from GearBest with priority line normally reaches Malaysia in less than 10 days. My fastest record was 4 days.

hi, any other recommendation other than visuo? finding a Mavic like drone/quadcopter with good camera quality which is foldable and easy to carry as well, apparently Mavic is a bit over budget

thanks

Hard to find cheapo version of MAVIC other than VISUO but interm of affordability, portability, camera quality and foldable under $40 i see it these one: JJRC H37 (https://www.banggood.com/JJRC-H37-Mini-Baby...-p-1181017.html)
and Eachine E51 (https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-E51-WiFi-F...-p-1159265.html)
The good news is both seems to be smaller than Visuo or Mavic, will fit nicely inside the pocket.

thanks for your recommendation, still mavic more beautiful
not necessary need below $40, below $400 also acceptable, just Mavic too overbudget haha.
dji spark also nice, just not foldable, if can find a 2ndhand unit sure grab 1 to play play

RC porn..!! I think I'll skip the Taranis QX7 (plasticky) and I'll pass the Taranis X9D Plus SE (getting old in the tooth).

Interesting to note that the Taranis QX7-S is also in the works, this time with hall effect gimbals... unfortunately still with that toy-like plasticky shell.

Frsky Horus X10 – lighter Horus X12S or advanced Q X7?
by montis 14/07/2017 | 11:55 3 Posted in New products

Frsky has announced their new radio transmitter – Horus X10. It has the outlook of the X7 and the features of X12S. It is lighter than Horus X12S and has some less features like no GPS and no 6-axis sensors and is powered by a Li-Po battery. Thus price range will be lower than X12S – around $330.

The new TX features hall effect gimbals, Frsky proprietary firmware (as in Horus X12S), menu navigation rotary wheel is similar as in Q X7. Horus X10 has external antenna and also two internal antennas, as well built-in upgraded iXJT Module.

We are waiting for more information.

Preliminary features:

AudioSpeech Outputs (values, alarms, settings, etc.)
Full telemetry and real-time data logging
Antenna detection and SWR warning
All CNC 6ball bearings gimbals with accuracy hall sensor and extensible by stick ends
Built-in wireless trainer system
6 position encoder for easier flight modes switch
Easy to set up models with FrSky FrOS operation system
MP3 Player and Speaker
Industrial High Resolution TFT Screen Readable Outdoors
Two internal and External Antenna selectable
Lighter than the X12S
Lithium-ion battery
Available in 2 color options

I'm waiting Banggod to release this new Jumper T8SG Multi-Protocol 2.4G 10CH Compact Transmitter for Flysky Frsky DSM2 Deviation Futaba.

Seems to be a very compact TX running with Deviation firmware. Same as those on Devo 7E/10/12E with a modded 4-in-1 module. Will be very good for micros and whoop as travel companion.

the loose usage of the term "drone" has been bugging me lately. either in speech or text. i've seen/heard people referring the syma x5c as drone. by definition:


so not all quadcopters/multirotors are drones. for it to be a drone, it needs to be :
- flyable beyond LoS
- have some kind of autonomous flight mode, GPS assisted hold/flight/rth.

the weird thing is, you don't see/hear people referring to rc helis/planes as drones loosely. it seems to be a specific issue with quadcopters/multirotors for some reason.

one of my fpv racer does have GPS and i still feel weird when people call it a drone. no, a racer styled quad is not a drone by default.

let's discuss, if you're bored at the office like me .

There's "OR" there in the statement. So drone not need to be able to fly beyond line of sight or autonomous. As long as it is unmanned then it is drone.

If many people use rc helis or planes to capture videos & in the process causing issues like multi-rotor rc have, probably we would call them drones too.

People who doesn't really fly quad will call simply coined these quad as drones. When you say drones, these peoples will know what is that but when you say quadcopter or quad for short, they will keep asking what the heck is that.

Nowadays, even RC forum such as RCGroups.com changed all the quadcopter forum naming by adding drones to it in order to capture wider audience.

hi guys,
anyone know/selling broken dji phantom?
i need the body parts for some project
please let me know
thanks

i get your 2nd point. most likely the PR is what causes the commotions in the 1st place. no one uses "drones" on RC flyers before "the issues" with AP drones arises. even on helis attached with a camera .

wider audience is good point. yeah, "RC quads" does sound a bit more daunting as oppose to "drones". however, i think a "drone" would imply some kind of fancy tech and toy quad like the syma x5c(and the likes) don't really qualify.
