    In this video, we dive into the process of building a powerful 5-inch 6S FPV Freestyle Drone (quadcopter) for making cinematic flight video.
    I got inspired years ago seeing the stunning, cinematic flight videos of landscapes and even racing videos done by FPV drones back when they were getting popular. This year I decided to go all in and purchase some of the highest performing parts to build my first racing drone and get a sturdy start in the FPV hobby.
    The objective of this video was to share my experience of building and flying my first FPV drone, at the same time giving my insights and tips to inspire and help others get into the drone hobby as well.

    Nice build for a first one. Very neat and clean. You'll find that a majority of us couldn't care less about dirt and grass getting in the electronics. I've come home and you'd think the quad took a bath in dirt 🤣😂🤣. As long as it doesn't get too wet. Even the motors get covered. Just spin them a little and keep it moving. All that TPU covering things up looks nice but just adds unnecessary weight. If you have skids, no need for pads. Any weight savings you can make improves performance. Some guys suggest not allowing anything to touch the flight controller like wires crossing the top. The vibration can mess with the gyro. Best to run wires underneath above the ESC. The style vtx antenna on the SMA is different. Can't say I've seen that type used before. Most go with a stubby or lollipop. Something a little less prone to getting thrashed in a crash. There could be a risk of it getting snapped off. That would make for a bad day. My first flight lasted about 5 secs. Unlike you, I made the mistake of not knowing about fpv sims to practice. I thought my R/C plane experience would be enough. I was wrong 😂🤣😂🤣. Multirotors fly totally differently.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Год назад +10

      Hi there! Thank you for the comment... I find the covers actually handy since I don't want the internal parts all covered in mud, scrap cleaning all that! 😂😂
      The drone is extremely jumpy and powerful already for me, that little bit of added tpu weight is not felt much, in fact it helps protect it rather than be an inconvenience (in my case anyway). However, I will consider removing unnecessary weight such as the LEDs (since I don't want to fly in the dark).
      Conformal coating the boards will probably be what it takes before I do consider removing the covers.
      About the antenna, I replaced it today with a Foxeer Lollipop antenna, works great improving the video signal 👍
      Thanks for your other tips mentioned above, I'll consider them.
      Be careful out there with your drone too! Sim practice is always beneficial before every real flight even if you're a rather advanced pilot. Especially if you haven't flown in a while 👍

    • @NightworksYT
      @NightworksYT 14 дней назад

      ​​​@@MaxImagination who needs practice lol no need to worry about that too much also conformal coating is only necessary if you are intending to get it wet also leds are not what you need for night flying you need a special analog camera for that such as the foxeer toothless starlight, also the vtx is mounted upside down in a way that can cause a short just be warned of that

  • @ynnus_
    @ynnus_ Год назад +4

    just a suggestion, i saw in the bag that came with your rgb lights was some included race wire, i would solder the motors to those then solder from the racewire to the esc, if its inline between motor and esc and sits on top of your arms it will prevent prop strikes from ripping up your motor wires. if it wasnt racewire that was included i'd definitley get some you can get it on racedayquads for like $1.50

    @HrDux Год назад +6

    I wouldn't put rubber grommets on the frame. Instead, use press nuts regular nuts so that the stack screws don't wobble around. It will make tuning your quad a lot easier. I can't believe GEPRC wants the stack to wobble around like that, but they do.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Год назад +1

      I think it also comes down to preference. Personally, I think it's safer using this amount of grommets as it protects the flight controller and ESC stack from getting destroyed upon impact or shock. This of course only lasts if the stack is tightened down really well. Thanks for your tip, though!

    That is an awesome beginner setup, definitely better than mine. I do believe that you're gonna want to remove some weight once you get better, but the added protection seems like a good idea to get started. I love CNHL batteries btw.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Год назад +3

      Many thanks! Will consider dropping the LEDs and maybe the side covers in the near future as I get to fly more. CNHLs are dominating the market, sure are great choice of batteries. Cheers 👍

  • @MJ-bj1gn
    @MJ-bj1gn Год назад +9

    Well done, Max!
    For better range, I recommend a good rhcp antenna on the quad (like the foxeer lollipop, TrueRC singularity, Lumenier Axii2,..) and a pair of goggles with a module bay for an ImmersionRC Rapidfire will give you the best range

    You have circular polarized antennas on the goggles and linear antenna on the drone. That’s why you don’t have a good video feed. Good quality circular polarized antennas are a must if you want good range no matter the drone orientation in space.

    @EagleFPV43 Год назад +2

    Loved the video! Very informative for beginners and fun for everyone else! The only thing i disliked is how you tightened the nuts on the motor. You only need it tight enough that the prop won't budge. The nylon insert will do the part of keeping it from vibrating off. Normally, you wouldn't need a locking wrench to hold the bell when tightening it

    Very clean build, however I don't think twisting the wires would do much in the way of reducing noise. You could shield the wires with some copper foil and solder a wire from that to a ground pad for actual rf shielding. You can also heatshrink it. It's the exact same thing that happens in USB cables.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Год назад

      Hi and thanks. Good tip, I heard from another fpv pilot that it is best to use coax cable or rf shielded cable on the video signal wire, like you mentioned. Cheers.

      The side covers don't fully touch up against the VTX, plus, there's plenty of airflow underneath and from the back of the frame for the unit to breathe via its front and back holes (for LED). This wouldn't be my concern.

      From what I remember back when I made the drone, I did this as it was a shorter route for the wires to take. It doesn't seem to cause interference at least. I don't see an issue.

      BetaFlight can reverse them if they are spinning the wrong way. Some of us prefer to have props spin outward. That way if you fly through a tree, in theory, the prop pushes the leaves and branches away instead of grabbing them and pulling them in increasing the chance of getting tangled if you fly "props in".

    Running wires over the top of the flight controller is usually not recommended because it can interfere with the gyro. Its probably ok but if issues with the gyro show up, try moving the wires under the FC. the side plates block dirt but it also blocks air. You get no air flow with the sideplates, if youre having trouble with range, your vtx could be overheating and lowering the power. Cool build!

  • @genjitsu7448
    @genjitsu7448 Год назад +1

    I also wanted to comment on the soldering iron. The one you showed, the TS80P is a great iron, a cousin or friend of the famous TS100 iron. I have a Sequre Si012 iron (Google it) and I think it is one of the better ones as I believe that it is a bit higher in wattage and that matters.
    I have worked in aerospace and there they take soldering very seriously. We use very good irons mainly from JBC but one day I brought in my Si012 to check out. I gave it to one of the best techs there who has been soldering for over 25 years and they said that it was great, no problems or issues, heats ridiculously fast, recovers fast, the tips are good quality, just all around a great iron.
    So seriously a $26 iron is as good as a expensive iron used in aerospace - yes!...ish Not in any and all cases though but for our hobby these irons should work perfectly. So the one mentioned in this video is very good, the one I mention i think is slightly better.
    Also the TS80P tips are expensive, like 3-4 times more expensive than the ones for the TS100 or my iron (uses the exact same tips). None the less if you take care of the tips (keep them clean, make sure they always have a coating of solder, etc...) they can last a long time.
    I would pick a different solder for sure. There are science reasons to use a different solder but for sure you want to be using a 63/37 rosin core solder wire like this one from Kester: www.amazon.com/dp/B00AVLM4SO?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_k0_1_13&=&crid=NTDWHLZKAFCP&=&sprefix=kester+solder For sure one of the best solders you can get. Does it matter - yes. A lot - could be but usually not that much but it is much easier to make a good solder joint with the Kester.

      Yes. It's the ESC you need to match to the motor power draw

    • @MaxImagination

      Correct, make sure you're using the right ESC for the motor's you've chosen to avoid burning the speed controller units.

      Mine are exactly 5 inches in diameter and I don't have an issue with them touching the frame or anything. Which frame do you have? If this is your issue, I suggest downgrading to 4.5 inch or 4.75 inch props if possible.

    Hi Max, thanks for sharing this video. I have a question, I noticed that you've worked with Arduino and I was wondering if you happen to know if I can build my own FPV drone with custom firmware (C or MicroPython). I'd like to build an FPV drone with GPS, long range data transfer, long lasting fly time, and the most important take advantage of AI, like OpenCV, to make it smart enough to make its own decisions. Do you have any idea? I know I can build a drone with Raspi Zero 2 W or Pico, install my own firmware, the big downside is how to program the ESC and other FPV parts. Thanks for your help

      Can and do are different words. The motors CAN handle 140 amps, but DO not run at that amperage one hundred percent of the time. The drone flies for about 8 min on most flights.
