What tool/accessory/gadget do you think we should all get?

I built myself a multifunction meter that I can drop into a channel when testing.
It’s based on an RC battery monitor and shows volts, amps and watts in real time.

Admittedly a multimeter does the same thing, but I wanted something quick and dirty so that I didn’t need to carry my fancy Agilent multimeter around, nor disrupt my terminal wiring to take readings when trying to verify readings.

Test pixel / voltmeter has been far more useful than i expected

Also have a wled controller which is great for testing new props etc

That is a cool idea I purchased a solar panel meter for nearly 3 times the price

I reckon an F test would be handy. I've got a basic smart receiver and power supply in a box I use at the moment which works ok. But limiting when I'm trying to count pixels.

I bought it when it was released, thinking it was a bit gimmicky, but it has become the most useful and trusted tool for pixel testing.
Pixel counting for me is a bit fun as it doesnt work with power injection, but otherwise everything else is awesome

This year alone It identified a busted output on my F48, a half dead receiver, and also helped with basic things like validating the correct port 1 vs port 2 on a HD prop.

Very very useful piece of kit, and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

I forgot about the smart receiver functions and stuff too. Very handy!
