anyone have any idea what this is? model, brand?

it’s a beefy 5” frame I got all Facebook marketplace with another one and frsky controller.
The the other one connects to the controller and operates.
This one power is up, but not connecting to the controller, it’s like 25 drone saved in a controller. I don’t know which one it is.
I’ve got a real nice beefy camera mount on it and a run cam camera. I know nothing about.
Any ideas?

luminere QAV S2 build issues

so i picked up one of the QAV S2 5" digital ready Josh Bardwell kits from getfpv, so far so good but a few hiccups.

first, i got a walksnail avatar GT kit, wont fit under the supports supplied with the kit due to the fan making the VTX too tall by about 3mm so had to order taller 25mm ones, which this leaves the camera mount not secured in the notches of the top piece of carbon fiber, not sure how im going to fix that probably shim it a bit on the bottme and top so the cam mounts, where the tabs are located, are not going to be fully into the carbon fiber, i gotta work this out.

kit came with the Xilo Stax 50A F4 AM32 ESC AND F4 FC, now i noticed the GT kit requires 11.1v - 25.2v, does anyone one know if 12v is available on the FC? since i've googled hi and lo and cant find the info, or, does anyone know if the avatar GT will work on 10v that i know is available on the FC, since Josh points it out in the video that is linked to the kit of getfpv's site.

i did notice that getfpv does recomend an external voltage regulator for this cam, which i did get, should i just use power direct off the battery and the voltage regulator?

also, the Cadx camera that comes with the kit fits like crap in the cam mount, furthest back holes, of which i can only use 1 on each side, but furthest back holes and cam lens is still sticking out quite a bit, that will be a pricey bumper.

also, and i think this is a big one, josh does NOT show a capacitor being installed in the video on this one, i understand the linked video is 2 years old, so i can get past the VTX issue since its a newer cam, but fuck i spent $1600 total at getfpv (kit, charger, batteries etc) getfpv could mention "hey this stuff does not work together" or something.

i am assuming i need the capacitor?

any help in advance for this not so n00b, just first build with some of this hardware.

thanks in advance

Just realized a throw back tribute in John Wick 4

having just watched the warriors from 1979 the other night, so it was fresh in my head, and now i have John Wick 4 on in the backround while im working on a drone, and i hear a similar sounding voice "hey there boppers...." so i turn around and its so similar to the female DJ in the Warriors, just a woman of colors lips/face up close talking to the microphone and then the song "Nowhere to Run", albeit a cover version starts playing.

ima like, dayum is that the same woman? heres what giigle says:

No, the female DJ in John Wick 4 is not the same person from the 1979 film The Warriors. The DJ in John Wick 4 is played by singer-songwriter Marie-Pierra Kakoma (known as Lous and the Yakuza), acting as an homage to the iconic DJ character played by the late Lynne Thigpen in The Warriors. [1, 2, 3]

Key Details regarding the reference:

  • The Homage: The scene is a direct tribute to The Warriors, featuring a similar radio host guiding the underground, this time in Paris.
  • The Song: Like in The Warriors, the DJ plays a cover of "Nowhere to Run" to signal to the assassins, referencing the same musical cue from 1979.
  • The Actor: While the 1979 DJ was a legendary voice-over performance by Lynne Thigpen, the John Wick 4 version was a stylized cameo by Marie-Pierra Kakoma, chosen for the film's artistic direction.

this is a pretty cool tribute to the late Lynne Thigpen and to the cult classic The Warriors to be included in a modern movie.

i recently started back some old hobby habits, it’s replaced my alcohol habit. i travel for work and away from my family for extended periods.
so i jumped into the quad cooter habit,,, er i mean hobby.
jumped in hard. due to being 4000 mi from home, i needed things.
got tools here and there and had them mostly in some apache cases.
today i had to pick up an ammo box to safely store lipo’s,,, and there they were.
so here we are.
it’s perfect for the smaller hobby tools and took 4 containers off the bench.
who’s using a mini for actual tools and not a jewelry box?
