Wow, that makes what I have been building for the past 4.5 years seem kind of basic or simple. Of course, if I go back 5 years, I didn’t even know what an m2 screw was or a one-cell battery. I love it all and you Ian have just broadened my knowledge base. Thank you😊
I love it! Coming from the FPV side of this hobby I love learning more and different systems! Thanks Ian!
I love the form factor of the quad and had considered the Holybro kit for a while.. I then deciided on making my own designed frame ftom scratch and with elelments of this one. Less screws and less parts to assemble. In the end I went with a smaller form factor and used 9045 DJi stylpe props. It was just what it needed and after another decsion chioce when Librepilot was not in develoment, I went for a Betaflight ESC and FC enabled controller. After alot of PID tuning it now seems to fly pretty well and snappy for it's size! I have angle mode set as standard and Acro as an option but for now sticking with Angle mode. I like the idea of using Ardupilot with all of it's plethora of possiblites for mission panning, way points and so on. But happy that I achieved a simple soltution to make a larger quad work. Nice video and digging the rock and roll style!
Always appreciate your content 😎
Great review, followed your video and it was a breeze to put the kit together 👌
Thanks. I've started building mine. 👍
Great video thank u.
Hello Mads, I watched this video today maybe for the 4th time. Many thanks for the valuable information that you provide. I am really waiting for the video that you promised us on how to connect this drone to the RTK system. Also, in this video itself. I feel very disconnected and there are too much information that we missed between finishing the configuration and flying the drone in the video. I and we all will appreciate it if you could deep dive into the details after the configuration, for example how to set the telemetry radio, the video transmission if any, how to set and monitor the drone state in QGround, and so on. Again your videos are always useful no matter what you provided and I hope we continue learning from you.
Thanks Ian for making this video. I'd recently been looking into Holybro products as an alternative to CubePilot. And this kit is an interesting alternative to the Hexsoon EDU-450. (I've built 3)
I'd really like to build two of these - the Development Kit version for an opportunity to get my hands on a Pixhawk FC running PX4. And frame kit that I can engineer with my own motors and electronics.
On the kit as you've built it, I'm really curious about compass calibration given the long untwisted DC power lines. The placement of the GPS your video shows may be enough separation to take care of that.
I'm also curious about some of the details. For example, with BLHeliS ESC's, is it running DSHOT? I'm also curious if the instructions are detailed enough to tell which of the I/O connectors to use - as it would matter if DSHOT is being used.
Awesome video
Thanks!
Thanks!
Where did you get the instructions may I ask?
Yes cant wait for rtk
Thanks Ian, would you be interested in recording a ‘RUclips short’ showing how you calibrated the compass in the field?
love the prpper music M8 ¶ ; - )
Thanks for your video. The x500 v2 is no longer in the Qground menu for generic quad (s500 still there). Can you give a second recommendation.
What a great video, Thank you for your effort and time ❤
I do have some Qs please:
I'm planning to buy 2 of QAV250 with the Pix32v6 (without RC) and i want to learn/train how to do a simple swarm fly with it
1- Can i do it with QGC or i need the Ardupilot firmware with Mission planner ?
2- are there any recommended RGB LEDs for this drone?
any advice would be great, Thank you
Thanks for this video, what is the battary that you used, could you please recommend one battary?
Hi Ian, what sort of flight time did you get from your battery?
what would be an alternate flight controller for this ? I dont want to use pix hawk , i have expresslrs an maybe this would make a good long range drone . And q ground control? Is this easier than mission planner ?
When you make a mistake maybe don't leave it in because when you go "oopsie" halfway the video we now all have to oopsie along.
Haha what time is that lol
@@MadRC 11:00 FeelsBadMan luckily it wasn't that hard to fix 😁
Nice video👍👍👍, which is the best long range fpv video transmitter ?
Can someone recommend a camera to use on this drone. Also how easy would it be to attach and use it? This will be my first drone build.
I need help for my first build. Actually my 13 year old son (plus me helping - not sure if a smaller drone kit is more suitable, but this looks great, also for us it has been very difficult to get started with building our own drone, so instead we've bought a few mini djis). Has the link to buy this drone been posted? Can someone provide a link, for delivery to the UK. Also how easy is it to attach a camera? Is this drone useful to practice programming with?
Wich is the inner diameter of the arm tube? Is it possible housing a flycolor 45 amps esc that has about 15.5 mm width?
Fantastic build and review, Ian! 😃
Awesome looking kit indeed! But doesn't it support CRSF natively? Because without it... It gets difficult to use ELRS.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I imagine you could flash it with Arducopter and use CRSF with it.
Also interested on how to configure it with elrs
I don't know the answer, but I felt an urge to explain the acronyms in your comment.
CRSF and ELRS are two types of radio control systems for drones. CRSF stands for Crossfire, which is a proprietary system developed by Team BlackSheep (TBS). ELRS stands for ExpressLRS, which is an open-source system that is compatible with various hardware. Both systems use 2.4GHz or 900MHz frequency bands and offer low latency and long range performance.
In the context of the video and comment, you're asking if the drone kit supports CRSF natively, meaning without any additional hardware or firmware modifications. This is because CRSF is a popular and reliable system that many drone pilots use. You also mentioned ELRS, which is another system that some pilots prefer for its affordability and flexibility. However, ELRS requires a compatible transmitter module and receiver, which may not be available for every drone kit. Therefore, you are wondering if the drone kit can use ELRS without any issues.
Where do you mount a camera?
Great video - thankyou. I am using qgroundcontrol v4.2.8 and I do not see the3 Holybro x500v2 listed. Anything I need to do in order to add it?
Have you found a solution to this?
The link in the description isn’t a link?
How much weight it can carry ?
great video thanks but can you tell me please, is pixhawk the reserve of the big quads or could you use the smaller f.c.'s like matek or mamba stacks on s500 , x500 nobody can seem to tell me ?.
You can absolutely but many of the smaller flight controllers don’t have an isolated IMU. Betaflgiht for instance has much more filtering and is designed for smaller frames. Using controllers with out isolation on these larger frames can be problematic but it’s not impossible to do. You just need to try and soft mount the flight controller.
@@MadRC thanks for that, so i may be ok if i use more vibration damping or are you talking about signal.
I'm also curious if the kit instructions mention calibrating the power sensor.
That’s really part of the setup of PX4 and Ardupilot. You should always try to calibrate to get the best result. The sw has the option for this.
decent little kit but IMO given the age of this style of build and the generic nature of the parts the price seems high. 575 will buy a lot of DJI
Ah, I don’t really like Holybro. So many issues with FCs and ESCs, and difficult support
I want to buy...how much is this?
Whats the best way to acquire this for customers in usa?
@18:01 you connected to fmu pwm out... but @18:16 you correctly connected to this to I/O pwm out. was that change somewhere maked in the video? (i actually tested with the wrong connection setup, because I took a screen shot @18:01 and mistakenly followed that
)
How much payload can it carry?
Hollybro states 1kg payload.
where is camera?!
Like 120
flip the gps mount, raise it more away from the electronics
just look like 10yrs ago , nothing changed
