I think this is singlehandedly THE most professional FPV video I've ever watched. Usually everything that has something to do with FPV has at least one point which is like "meh, I just hope and pray it works out" but damn, this build was on point!!!
Mobile runs on 868MHz for FCC and 915 for CE, so it's not that much of an issue unless you're using the wrong band at the wrong time. Still incredible though!
I don't understand at all, what is it for? Anyway, the video link will fall off before the control. I would understand if the video was on a dual channel. But drone control..
@ mainly, this is more for LR autonomous planes. Dual band allows for double the packet transmission or more packet redundancy, especially on non-LoRa MAVLink modes.
I watched the video 3 times already ! Nothing to say but awsome i feel inspired to try something similar , i would love to get my hands on the frame 😍 absolutely top notch, keep it up ! We want more videos of this thing. Bravo
What an introduction of a new Micro TX 🔥🔥🔥 I just listened random FPV Videos and then this popped up. Instantly folowwed 😮 You're Frame is amazing 😍😍 Really the best build/test video in a long time. Very creative.
I'm now getting to the point where I can design my own drone, I'd go for a dead-cat design but this one really looks strong and makes the more sense to make the drone bigger once you're designing it yourself and not going with the limitation of buying another's frame. Thank you for your video mate!
Nice build - Refreshing to see someone bring back the carbon tube arms. Not sure if they are really practical but damn they look hell nice with those decals.
Brother I've been flying in sims for over 4 years now I need one of those fancy aircrafts to experience my first flight..man I don't want die before flying
Here the same😅,flying around 2month in sims. Now i have to start in realLive😊. I buy the walksnail goggles L, a babape 2 and the radiomaster boxer😅. (And sell all my rc-plane stuff from the last years😊)... Flying fpv copters are so much more fun than flying planes😅
I might need to get one of these receivers for my macro. This receiver being on $30 is so respectable. Excellent build btw, I thought it was a beast class at first
Wondering what are those black pole antennas inside the ziplock bags? I was hoping you would show us where you were going to connect which antennas to which ufl sockets on rhe dbr4.😢
Awesome flying man 🤙🏻. I wish your drone was premade and for sale cuz i would totally buy 2 or 3 even. I’m not confident with soldering and putting all this stuff together.
>operating simultaneously on 2.4 GHz and 915MHz Ah, okay (*sets the jammer on 2.4GHz and 915MHz*) The warzone is a little bit ahead of a recreational quad playground
@@31pas0 that'll be two signal jammers. If you've been following the war, then you'd know how OP recreational quads have been against $100m+ tanks and infrastructure.
I'm amazed that those 30x30 escs being used for huge quads - like this one - aren't burning out. It's really a testament to their durability if they're holding up over time. I'm afraid to use that esc in an 8S 1300kv 7" that I've been planning for a while... maybe I should try it..
@@ScottTomlinson Wow. Aikon has always been good... maybe the ratings aren't total BS.. That will definitely save me money and time... Good experiment - thanks for replying - very helpful.
I don't understand at all, what is it for? Anyway, the video link will fall off before the control. I would understand if the video was on a dual channel. But drone control..
So I didn't showcase the true real world advantages in this video but it's significant in noisy RF situations, like events or commercial sets. It's going to have a big impact on the cinelifter side of things when adding broadcast/transmission components to the drone too (DJI SDR for example). Personally, the mental aspect of the system translates to my flying too, like, can this even failsafe? I definitely can't ignore how that confidence is perceived. Sending it deep into split level car parks or over ocean etc.. Who cares if 2.4 chokes, 900 will kick in...Confidence
if they could cram this into a Radiomaster Pocket, that would be ridiculous, but i think possible! being able to race with 0 latency and flying to the limits of video and battery in the same day is nuts
Thanks mate! It's a balance of enjoyment vs effort for me. I'm out there most days but if I was vlogging or editing 24/7 I'd probably burn out. I've been trying to get a few shorts up lately of just stick/raw flights though. Appreciate the comment.
I only use and recommend PEM broaching nuts. Especially for something like this where it's the critical point for securing the arms. I get them from Mouser - Part #153-KFS2-M3 for Stainless or #KF2-M3-ET for Carbon Steel.
Yo.. that quad is a beast!! Will this frame be available?? Thanks for the awesome video, I've never seen a quad that big be so nimble. It would be awesome for drift car chases 😮. After this vid I'm a new subscriber. Keep them dope videos rollin!! 🔥 🔥
Very cool I wonder if that dual band ELRS would screw up something in the PID tune for say, Betaflight? 900 can only go up to 200Hz while you can go haywire on 2.4, assuming the packet rate are different on the 2 bands (You don't use a low low packet rate on 2.4 which would render the dual band benefit........ useless?)
The X modes are locked to specific refresh rates currently. I use X150 which is 150 Hz for both 2.4 and 900 (I fly 150 all the time anyway). No idea what's possible. ELRS 3.5 is bringing some new SubGHz modes to the table I believe. (Like 1000Hz for 900 tested to 20km)
I haven't prepared any files yet but possibly can. There's a few intricate bits in the design and I've found the tube clamps vary in dimensions so you would need to modify certain parts at least. I doubt it would be a frame that could just be sent to shop without testing clamp widths etc. I also had to machine a couple mm off the apex cam mount as the clamps aren't exactly 28mm tall.
I did try haha, didn't make the video though as they'll feature in another vid soon. Batteries hated it though... Need some reallllly good packs and a lightweight craft for those props.
That's correct. 4 in total. The right side is 900 (one on the arm and one up front) The left side is 2.4. That's just how I arranged it. I got matching sized whip antennas but obviously the 2.4 is higher gain. I just wanted it to look symmetric mostly. The rx is just u.fl so any antennas are fine.
so cool great work i want to ask i am flying my drone and the esc and motors are gitting hot is that normal its not that crazy hot but when i fly for a bit longer it gets hot i see your flight and you fly for too long does you motors gets crazy hot?
You should still be able to comfortably hold your hand on a motor after normal flying. If it's getting too hot it could be a sign of tuning issues or even prop/motor/weight combination. Older components (bent props, wobbly bells etc) can have an impact too. Sound can tell you a lot also. Nice smooth linear tones. No oscillations, trilling or fluttering is what you want.
Dude this was stock PIDs and filters too! Kudos to Betaflight 4.5. The frame is ridiculously stiff however. Tube arms reduce vibes from my experience too so it's all working together. There's a few tweaks I can make but even I was impressed.

No need, they are capable of that no problem. The motors are only 1010kv.
