so ive been putting off buying a prebuilt for like two years because i always told myself i'd just build my own and learn more that way, and i did build a couple 5 inch quads before this but honestly between work and the kids i just dont have the bench time anymore

picked up the Diatone Roma F5 V2 about three weeks ago and have maybe 15 packs through it so far. overall pretty happy but it def needed some work out of the box. the default betaflight tune is... fine? like it flies but there's this mid throttle oscillation that was driving me nuts especially on slower cinematic style lines. dropped the D term a bit on pitch and roll and bumped up the feed forward slightly and it smoothed out a lot. also the vtx power settings were way lower than they should've been by default, took me a while to figure out why i was getting such bad video range

motors get warm but not hot, running 6S 1300mah which seems to be the sweet spot. anyone else running this frame or the V3 that came out recently? curious if the tune on the newer version is any better from the factory

yeah the factory tunes on pretty much every prebuilt ive touched have been mediocre at best. Diatone is better than some of the cheaper stuff but still not dialed. the vtx thing is a known issue on that model actually, theres a note about it on the Diatone discord somewhere, they ship it low apparently to pass some certification and just expect people to change it which is kind of annoying

i had the original Roma F5 and it was a solid frame, motors lasted me a long time before i smoked one on a bad crash. never tried the V2 but if the tune is similar it should respond well to adjustments. what filtering setup are you running, did you leave the defaults or mess with RPM filter settings too

i got the V3 like a month ago and honestly the tune felt about the same to me but im still pretty new to messing with betaflight so maybe im not the best judge lol. it flies fine for me but i havent done any real side by side comparison. how did you know it was a D term issue vs something else, thats the part i always struggle with ? figuring out which parameter is actually causing what
