![]() If you're used to a DJI which is rock solid with little drift, this won't meet that expectation. Watch the video review and you'll see it. With the legalities out of the way, the drone is "ok". A VO can warn you of a tree, helicopter or other threat. If you have goggles on, you have lost SA. Technically, a pilot or VO must have their eyes on their drone for situational awareness (SA) of threats at all times. If you do fly this with the goggles on and want to be a conscientious pilot, you need a Visual Observer (VO). If you get your Part 107, now you're actually registering the drone itself. If you register this with the FAA as a recreational pilot, then the S/N matters less since you're registering yourself and one drone, up to four drones. Then, there's not really anything saying "Serial Number," so you'll have to just go with the number on the bottom of the drone. ![]() Or so I believe because absolutely nothing anywhere says the weight, and the Vivitar instructions say to register it. That said, if you fly this legally, you need to go to FlyMyDrone at the FAA and register it because it is MORE than 250g. I have about 40 miles of flying and a couple hundred hours in the last 6 months according to my DJI Fly App. I am a Part 107 FAA Licensed drone pilot and have a Mini 2 and Air 2 from DJI. Watch my video for a good idea of how this drone flies. Here is the written review I uploaded with the video: I spent about 15 minutes on two flights and recorded my thoughts as I flew it. Perhaps you could look into possibly adapting it to yours.I was sent (free in return for doing a product review) a Vivitar VTI FPV Duo Camera Racing Drone with Flight Immersive Goggles. You even turn off the power in the same way. Notice that the size is very close to yours and it also has 6 pins that couple with the drone. Perhaps the charger is dead? Since it's a LiPo battery, if it was somehow drained below 3V/cell, it may never come back. Have you tried to clean the contacts and pins with a dry fine brush? Also, can you check to see if the charger is actually putting out a charge. I also have an Eflite QX350 and it takes a "normal" LiPo battery with an EC3 connector. I've tried any number of websites to include what you suggested.įor whatever reason my battery will not charge.Īnyone else out there have this same Vivitar drone? If so, where can I purchase replacement batteries and other parts? I fully understand now what you are dealing with. Oh, xviper if only it were that easy! Take a look at my photos of this rascal. IE, flying it way too long, not using a timer for your flight or not paying attention to the telemetry data about the battery's condition. Is it really old? Does it have a lot of duty cycles on it? If it's not too old and it hasn't been run too many times, that should tell you that you're draining it way too far. Even give Amazon a shot.Īs for your old battery not charging. Start with well known shops - SMC, HobbyKing, ChinaHobbyLine, MotionRC. Now, armed with all this information, go on the internet and look at as many companies as you can and see if they have a battery that is close to the specs you now know. You should also clearly see what kind of connector it has and be able to make or find an adapter if one is needed. You should also be able to see what "C" rating the old battery is. You should know how many cells it has (3, 4, 5, 6?). You can measure it and know what the dimensions are. ![]() Does your old battery have any markings on it? If not, does you manual have any specs for the battery? You can weigh it and see what it weighs. This should not be such an impossible task.
