Wonderful mod, and great job explaining everything. Now I'm gonna have to do this and cause UFO sightings in my area with my green & orange Gemfan props. LOL.
Cool video, and excellent work. You have a really good skills to fly it in such a dark night. Even though the IR LEDs are ON, it's not easy! At some moment in the video there was a blinding glare, and at another moment, it was pitch dark, but still you kept flying. Yes, one can easily get disorientated in blink of an eye in such situation. Enjoyed; great! Thanks for sharing :)
@@RCEscape @Alien Drones Hey do you know of a drone that has decent night vision and decent range. Around 400-600 usd? Also I need it to do well near range so like within 50-100 feet up to be able to identify someone.
Hello there mate. Just to correct one misunderstanding. The differnce between the cams quality at night lies in the difference of the sensor, not the lense. Depending how big the sensor is and rhe quality of the sensor( how much light can it work with) will influence your image
Just what I have been thinking of doing Pete it's like I read my mind keep them coming u always have great videos and helpful information when I needed it I just look at some of your past videos way back when i started modifying my BUGS 3 u had videos thanks a lot u have helped a lot of us take care.
I'm glad you found it useful :) I was just happy to share what I've been fooling around with and learning myself from others who walked the path already. You gotta try it with one of your older quads if you have one and fly it even without the led board but at dusk when it is starting to get too dark for regular fpv cameras. It'll give you another hour to fly but if you use the led board, you can just about fly all night :)
Great work Pete. I have a Bfight 210 that i havent flown in almost 2 years. I might take that up as a project when i find the time, would be nice to have the capability to fly at night. Thanks 🙏
You should!!! The best time to fly is after the sun goes down and it isn't completely dark yet. I can't believe they still sell the Bfight. Still the same price! I don't know what happened to Furibee...Gearbest is not in the game anymore. Thanks man :) 🍺🍺
RC Escape i’ve lost track of gearbest, since i started building the quads myself. I’m surprised to hear the B-fight is still available. As i recall, it is a very descent quad especially for the price it came for. Cheers mate.
@@RCEscape good morning now!! Lol hey I have a transtec Beatle mini. 2inc vista HD. Frame broke..bnf suck..I'll get geprc 2 inc dji frame. Unless you have any better frames in mind?? Should ditch 2 inch moters make a 3 inch? Broke easy was taking it easy on bird. It's not ment to acro...or wreck lol
I can't figure it out! lol! Rubber band was the only thing I could think of and it may be safer since it'll just break off and lessen the impact on the board but a better mounting system is in need for sure so you can just change out the battery without remounting the led board every time :) Thanks Greg! :) I may invest in a 3D printer some day and start learning how to use it.
Hi RC, I see many of your videos from last year to now and definitely you have same experience with classic drones and now with race quads. I have a question for you. It is possible to fly a classic drone like Zino or Fimi with race controller, pls? Thanks for your great videos and nice hobby that you share with us. All the best
Most "classic drones" can only be flown with the controller it came with but there are controllers like Jumper multi protocol transmitters that can bind to just about all models. It however have limited protocols and the zino and fimi protocols are not included as of yet. Thanks :)
I believe the caddx polar is a starlight camera for the dji air unit. www.racedayquads.com/products/caddx-polar-hd-vista-kit-for-dji-choose-your-color?currency=USD&variant=39471654928497&gclid=CjwKCAiAs92MBhAXEiwAXTi256N6SFthp3JWaC7fZDOW3nqlVFZdottgcMHFLct3OMbH_rzae8RHARoCfLkQAvD_BwE
hello its good to get in touch with you. do you still fly ? what about night time? could you use a 365 nm uv light bead, lastly is there a way to switch it on & off in betaflight? ...lol
Is there a legal reason why regular drones don't have infrared cameras like this? seems like an obvious cool feature to have to use as a security drone in your own property. New to drones so don't know anything about them.
bwas fpv Perhaps so but $80!!! The best time I found to fly without the IR block is at dusk when it is too dark to fly but you can still see everything even without the infrared led lights :)
The evil clown teeth at 20:12 really freaked me out. You might be onto the next big thing. Great test.
Haha!! That is the reflection of the led lights on the camera lens. The camera lens kind of have a bulge to this one :)
13:51 Lofi full spectrum fpv drone footage deserves a like

True , larger the Sensor the better it is
Sweet im gonna see if a friend can help me out with this on a project drone and goggles as well ..thanks for sharing this info

Thanks 👍 Sometimes you have more fun with what you already have :)
Like#8, cool drone! Good night lighting for the drone!good job! Nice vidoe!
Thank you 👍
WoW, always great content and amazing information and always there to help and advise if asked..Thank You for all you do...this was great

Thanks Ray!! Stay safe brother!! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
@@RCEscape You too my brother 👍🙏👍🙏🙏🙏
Someone is gonna see these on their ring doorbell and be convinced they captured a ufo on film
beautiful. how much is that camera?
The daylight shot was really yellow, is it possible to change the white balance to make it more blue?
Glad your enjoying IR FPV it’s a blast, I rubber banded mine to a 30 degree 3D printed GoPro Session Mount. 👍
👍👍!!! Yep!! You are not gonna use the GoPro at night anyhow. I gotta get me a 3D printer and start learning :)
That is freaking AWESOME🤘🏻🤘🏻great job. GREETINGS from ARIZONA 🌵🏜🌞🌞🌡
Thanks so much!!

I was actually stationed in Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista for 3 years. I also lived in Tucson for a while too :)

Very nice Pete, now you just have to figure out how to mount it a little more secure in case of a crash.

Try to get either 1.8mm or 2.1mm camera lens for better FOV :)
Beta fpv x- knight means x- night starlight vision . Brite as noon at night but with no shadows . No infra red headlight .

i love removed one at daylight
Is this a home made drone? If not can u provide a link where I can buy these?
You can use any drone. This is an old drone. B-fight 210.
Can you get a smaller IR light board and 3D print a flash light like housing to concentrate the IR beams and increase the distance?
Probably. Now I just use a flashlight.

I wonder if this can be done to the DJI air unit camera..

Does Cat 2 have IR filter?
Brilliant.......
Cool👍👍👍
are u still there?

Maybe not so safe for everyone I would think.
Removing the IR filter messes with the daytime ability of the camera. You'd have to run two cameras and that's not cost/weight effective.
Спасибо!!!!!
Wasssssupppp buddy
Hahaha!!! Wassssupppp!!! 🍺🍺
@@RCEscape is it more easy just to put a lumecube or something to light up the way?:)
bwas fpv
Perhaps so but $80!!!

You scratched it though. A lot.
