Hi Luka I hope your well,

I understand i can turn off the head tilt alarm in the setting however i don't want to. I use it, But when i have a crash or failsafe and switch to quad finder i would expect SOFTWARE to understand that i no longer care about the head tilt alarm, I have already crashed and now my goggles won't be horizontal again until the quad is found.

I would also expect head tilt alarm to be turned back on when the quad finder is no longer selected.

If quad finder=enabled then disable head tilt alarm .

If quad finder=disabled then enable head tilt alarm 

Kind Regards

Colin

Please disable the head tilt alarm when you enable the quad finder i lost a small 1s quad in long grass because i was unable to tell between then tilt alarm and the quad finder beeps when looking for it, then my small 1s battery gave out.

I believe i would have found it in time if then head tilt alarm was silenced.

I have a GPS chip thingy on my drone, and longs/lats being fed to my OSD, which should be recorded to my DVR no problem. My GPS only worked for one day. No idea why. Have to trouble shoot it and maybe get a new one. 
I only lost my drone once so far. The bell of the motor decided to go on it's own little trip, and my quad vanished into a leafy treed area. I have motor beeping on a switch, so I used that to find the quad. It was an eagle-eyed groundskeeper who spotted the motor bell and it's attached prop. Motor bell has since been returned unharmed to it's place on the motor, and quad still works fine. I will be getting self powered buzzer for my next build though, as well as a GPS module. I can only break one at a time, right? 

I mostly fly my mobula though. That thing is doomed. I am way too reckless with it, and it is too small and quiet. It will get lost eventually. 

#1 is not having DVR. So having DVR auto/continuous ala fatshark would be great!

Funny to see this article because I just lost a drone yesterday. A new Geprc phoenix. My Orca Goggles blacked out. Its partly my fault to be honest. My goggles were always blacking out on the third pack (about ten minutes of flying). Upon advice of Luka from Orca, I updated all firmware, goggles and rapidfire. i was supposed to be just testing the goggles (after the firmware upgrade). Usually when it blacks out I just disarm and let the quad fall. However this time when it blacked out I was in a steep fast dive (I got abit excited), I tried to level the quad, switch to angle mode (while blind), to lessen the crash. So all in all, i flew blind for about three seconds. However the battery must have ejected, and I could not use beeper. Searched for over an hour but its gone. Anyway just submitted a second ticket for this problem. Lets hope Orca gets this problem fixed ASAP. Also definately considering a second pair of goggles for  back up. 

Didn't lost a quad yet but of you usually fly with friends, with the FPV.connect, somthing could be useful.
Can we dowload the last DVR with the ORQA App and be able to select 15s of the DVR ?
We could send this lite file to friends via MMS/whatsapp/messenger (becvause the all DVR is around 300Mo)
So everyone can see the DVR from their phone ?

Flew my Tinyhawk-S over the chalet and the video went to snow as I was 25m high, only to reappear filming leafs somewhere in the area... the beeper on that thing is close to useless.

A friend of mine ended up finding it in the neighbour's backyard after 40 minutes of looking around in the forest trying to aim the antenna with a goggle and an FPV watch, not a fun time :P

i lost my drone in the middle of the peshtigo river in feb of last year, while the water surface was as smooth as glass.  as i was on my return route and low on battery, not realizing how low i was, i just skimmed the surface enough to tumble.  water was about 50F.  got a boat and did a few dives about 10-11ft down to no avail.  a month later, i swam out and, during a downpour, and found it on the 7th dive.  the battery was the only casualty.  reviewed the go pro footage, i could hear the paddling of the boat and me diving into the water from the month before.  the drone stopped no_rx beeping just as i rowed overhead, apparently I took to long getting the boat in the water and already being low on bat (about 12 minutes of esc beeping and vtx finished it off).  i bet i would have heard the beeping if i had gotten down there faster (it was loud on the gopro)!  truly epic feeling to find my rooster after going through a month of agony!  that said, i would love to not have to go through that again, if possible.  lesson here:  waterproof your drones and don't be afraid to go for a swim.  i salvaged $300 from the drink!

Never lost a drone, but almost. Used my VTX signal with patch antenna to localise the direction. Finally I found it back as the esc dshot were beeping. Since then I have hellgate buzzers (with internal lipo) and on some quads a GPS.
