Repair experiences in Europe (Goggles)

How have the experiences been with product repairs in europe? I'm trying to get my goggles scroll wheel replaced, and I have the option to either do it myself, or send the goggle in to some repair center in Germany, where "Michael" will have a look at it and repair it.

Who is Michael? The address provided is literally just someones house, not an office or anything.

Is it worth sending it over? Does the repair take forever? Is there a risk (higher risk than if I serviced them) of having a broken product shipped back to me?

Looking for any experiences with repairs in europe :D

Any changes to vtx settings (in betaflight) that need to be made when switching from dji to hdzero?

Switching a video transmitter from O3 to hdzero eco kit (i got my reasons).

I've repinned the hdzero plug so that it is compatible with the dji digital plug on my flight controller, and I'm now wondering what changes need to be made in betaflight (if any) to accomodate the change.

Because like with analog at least you need to configure a vtx table or something? Is there something similar on digital?

HELP! I created an account with a wrong email address and purchased two tickets!!!!! How do I change email / get my tickets on the correct email??

Basically title. I know, it's embarassing, I don't know how in the world it happened, but I managed to create an account, thinking it was with my email, and signed in. Then I bought two global passes, but then realized that they didn't come to my correct email.

After checking the account email, I noticed it was wrong, and now someone else (with a very similar email to mine) has my tickets in their email inbox.

They shouldn't have access to my interrail account, because only I know the password (unless they can reset it....), so I can log into the account and view the pass IDs on a computer or on my phone.

But its on someone elses email!!!!!!!!!!

I seemingly can't change the email from the computer website, and neither from the railplanner app (it just says it can't be done here right now).

WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!!??? Does requesting a refund need some confirmation from the email???

"gear fear"? - how can I trust my drone more?

Most notably to this post, in my fleet there is an oasisfly25, and a dji Avata.

I have flown my drones a decent bit, not nearly as much as I "should" have, or maybe even could have, but still, they've seen the air a reasonable amount. Once with my avata, one of the props just exploded in a regular flight, obviously crashed and I had to go pick it up. Thankfully it was close and didn't really break, only the motor sounds slightly rougher, but shouldn't really be an issue.

Then on the oasisfly, once I punched out and a propeller broke, leading to the o3 unit breaking, and after a long long wait to get the thing up and running again, after not many flights another propeller exploded when doing a slight punch, and the drone just fell out of the sky. Thankfully nothing broke and I replaced props and went on, and in that flight the drone just lost connection to the controller and dropped out of the sky after flying for a few minutes. Again, luckily it didn't fall far away from me, but still what the hell right?

I love to fly the oasisfly, but I've now had 2 prop explosions and one random rc link disconnection, same with the avata its an okay drone but a random prop explosion when at like barely over hover throttle doesn't aspire a lot of confidence.

I'm now getting more -- and different props for the oasisfly, and also changing to an elrs receiver in it to get away from the dji one, but how do I get over this distrust to my gear? I don't really like the idea of flying even just like 100m away over some trees and a prop exploding and me never seeing the quad again. It wouldn't be as annoying if it was clear user error from me, then its fine and part of the hobby.

It really feels like if I think something bad is gonna happen while flying, it's more likely to happen lol. Prior to the first prop explosion, no problems, after that; problems a lot more often.

tldr; After 3 instances of propellers exploding out of nowhere, and a random loss of rc link, how can I trust my gear to actually have fun while flying??

buying used, the 250 is 130€ and 200 is 90€. Is the HSM motor worth the upgrade? I hear they have similar image quality (the extra focal length of the 250 is nice though..)

to pair with the R10
