Uploaded June 2020 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
A few months ago (February 2020) I did my first laps in an FPV track. Instead of annoying the local pilots with my micros/whoops or flying random quads around the place, I watched others fly the track so I can learn how it goes and then I tried it myself.
After a few broken cameras, bent motor bells and burnt ESCs, it is funny how intimidating crashing someone in mid-air or running into a gate were in the beginning.
Putting these worries to the side, lowering my rates (in the last 2 sessions!) and flying as many packs per session as I had time or spares for definitely paid out. There is a long way to go but I am not in a hurry. Experience needs effort and stick time - sadly I am lacking the latter. Maybe I should try to squeeze a bit of simulator stick time in my schedule every now and then.
Going through my DVR footage motivated me and hopefully you too.
A huge thanks to the local pilots for all the help and fun!

![ImmersionRC RapidFIRE Batch #1 vs RapidFIRE Batch #2: Side-by-Side comparison of the FPV video feed
ImmersionRC may have confirmed that RapidFIRE modules of Batch #2 have mainly improved in terms of compatibility to camera/VTx/OSD setups, but what is better than finding it out on your own during a sunny day at a bando with friends, two modules, plenty of antennas and a huge box with FPV monitors and a camera inside?
TLDR: Modules from batch #1 and batch #2 seem to have identical performance. Flash the latest firmware, stick a rubber cube between the SMA connectors and consider your batch #1 module equal to a batch #2. There is no need to upgrade or mod your batch #1 module, unless you are experiencing compatibility issues.
If you have already seen my previous FPV goggle module shootouts, rest assured that the same attention to detail has been put into this round of comparisons as well. Everything used is identical between the modules, same types and lengths of wires, same plugs, high quality RCA A/V connectors etc. If you havent, definitely take a look at the relevant playlist: https://goo.gl/dWRzwz
The test quad was using a TBS Unify Pro 5G8 V3 VTx at 200mW on F4 5800MHz with an AXII antenna and a Runcam Swift 2 camera, through a Revolt OSD F/C.
Huge thanks to Kokobloko for all the flying and support. If you liked what you saw, check out his channel here: https://goo.gl/7kNpmL

![SpeedyBee Bluetooth UART Adapter (SBBUA) overview & setup - BEST FOR LESS
If you are running Betaflight and have been carrying a laptop or Windows tablet with you in order to tune or set up your quad on the field, you will be very happy to see this UART-Bluetooth adapter from SpeedyBee!
It is a small, light and easy to install board that allows you full access of all your settings, including CLI, from your phone or tablet. The GUI is very clean and easy to use, everything is nicely labeled and the setup is very straight-forward. Only enabling the BLE Switch may require that you look into your F/C manual, just to be sure about the pin assignment.
Even if you dont want to get one right now, if I were you and had an extra UART on the F/C, I would enable it just as a backup - this way if you ever damage the USB connector of your F/C, you can get a SpeedyBee BUA board, connect it to that UART and continue to use your F/C ;)
