I've heard that people had more range and stable feed w/ the DJI RE Goggles using the Smart Controller which is why it was selling out.  People said when the feed broke and app crashed they had to restart everything to get the feed to come back w/ the Standard controller.

If I get more than 3 MBps when the P4PV2.0 is next to me w/ the Smart Controller it is indeed better.

I don't know why the Goggles hard wired into the controller wouldn't yield the same range as when using a smart device such as my phone? It is coming from the same source.

I was going to get the RE Goggles but reconsidered because I don't have the Smart Controller.  I was scared of getting cut-outs.

Yeah, I have the Fat Shark Dominator V3 that really are good with practically zero latency when racing my tiny whoops, I wish the DJI Goggles were as reliable.

Yeah, I had the HDs and I sold them for $350 looking to go RE.  I still have my racer quad that I should sell.

I was going to get the HDs but the 4:3 aspect ratio was something taking a little to get use to compared to the 16:9 aspect ratio of the Dominator V3s

Yeah, but that is good if you have a 16:9 camera.  I always got scared of losing signal going far out as there is no warning.  I did lose signal when I was flying low in between some construction hill area.

I've flown those because it was the best we had.  Putting a GoPro on it was cool.  The aerobatics were cool but get boring.

I find flying relaxing in general and my little 65mm brushed and brushless whoops I generally fly before bedtime as it makes me go to sleep faster and more relaxed than when I don't fly.

An Inductrix is a 65mm inducted fan quadcopter such as a BETAFPV 65x or Blade Inductrix FPV/+/PRO/BL

Is EDF the same as inducted?  I started RCs with a dual 70mm A10.  I had Zero experience flying RC and I flew it in my neighborhood!  It came back though lol.  It was like 200 feet in the air and I knew I couldn't just give up and do nothing.  I kept doing go arounds because I was flying in so fast.  At the very last one I landed but a downdraft hit it and it crashed.  I had to fly over a busy highway multiple times!!!  This was way way before drones had the FAA kick in.  I then fixed it and took off in a park and had the same issue.  I crashed into a tree because I couldn't land.

It was so intriguing to fly that I went to flight school and did other things.

I am not too sure what EDF really stands for? I think 65mm are really referred as being Tiny Whoops a term trademarked by Tiny Whoop founder Jesse Perkins.

Electric Ducted Fan I think but what does Inducted mean? I think you meant ducted not inducted.

Hopefully, the Smart Controller will give me a Solid range.

If I recall, the smart controller doesn't do Spark or Mavic Air.

I got my spark stolen. I tried to make a new post but it seems that I “have no authority to post new topic”. If anyone can help me... is it possible to locate it by its GPS or block it remotely?

so out of everyone who has over 100k meters or feet on their spark, how many have had issues either minor or catastrophic. is this all on your one spark or is this spread over a few (meaning have been replaced atleast one time) or is yours over multiple drones. i myself have over 50 hours of flight time myself but thats spread over 3 drones my spark i have owned just shy of a month and couldnt be more impressed!
