I decided to take my fold-n-fly up with us where we ride dirt bikes today. Using a hoverfly sport and no OSD. The Hoversport is pretty smooth but just not the right tool for a beginner fpv'er especially with no other flight tools such as artificial horizon. Holy crap that was one exhilarating 10 minutes! I can see the addiction. But there were a few things I was curious about. First off, flying without osd is just dangerous. The wide angle view gives you NO accurate idea as to how fast or how much cyclic you are giving it. What looked like 5 mph on the screen was faster than I have ever flown anything in real life. So why the super wide lens??? I would think a more realistic fov would be much easier to use as it would show depth of field. But also, having NO autolevel, no gps on top of no osd made this a real handful. Let's just say I was lucky to get it back.
I am curious if there are any other OSD's out that are decent other than the immersion. Funny I just sold mine. But it just gets to be too many things on board. The Hoverfly pro has it built in which is nice but it is too big/expensive and I would need 2 exposed boards in such a small area it would be asking for trouble. I am swapping out for the Naza/gps immediately as I absolutely need some other back up in the event of a melt down. There has to be something out there that is all in one and works. APM2.5 have osd bult in?
