Correct me if I’m wrong. You cut the motor connectors off the board, then soldered jst connectors to your motor wires. So, you had to get a whole new flight controller and now “possible” disconnect mid flight which is why you removed the connectors off the board in the first place. Gotcha! ?
The video was a little confusing, because I found a better, more repeatable way to build it - after the build video was originally filmed. The first time I built them, I direct soldered to the board. The new method doesn’t require any direct soldering to the board. I wish I could have had time to just re-record the whole video without the direct soldering all together, but, that wasn’t possible, unfortunately.
Fun video. I made my Shark Byte using a GepRC Phantom build. Much more forgiving build and lots of other FC choices work. If you want to stick with motors with plug connectors, there are motors with connector plugs factory installed.
Yes. I saw his video. While I respect his design and ingenuity, it is more difficult for the average person to build, and less durable. Maybe it weighs a couple grams less. It isn’t significant enough to sacrifice durability and repeatability.
Hi Sean as much as I want to try the sharkbite system, now I have not looked into it much, but I just looked at the price, and is this for the receiver for your Googles also ? There's no way I would be able to fly it, It's more than DJI.
Their website lists it at 78 grams. The Beta85X (which they basically copied the design of 100% except substituting the crappy Shark Byte system and 3D printing a canopy instead of using nice injection-molded plastics) weighs in at only 66.6 grams. LOL. So it's heavier, more expensive, a blatant design rip-off, and offers worse video quality. Oh, it's also more expensive.
@@TheDiegoAranda So is the linked $300 one not even pre-built? Why would anyone buy it, then have the build it VS the Beta which is already built and cheaper?
So not related to this, but there has been a lot of hype in the fpv community about nano long range quads. I would love to see Sean build a 7 inch quad with a battery that can plug in(maybe a 20-24v drill battery?).They should call it macro long range.
I’m on the fence about investing in digital since I don’t fly nearly as much as I used to. This is the first fpv vid I’ve bothered watching in over a year. Since I own hdo2’s is this shark byte worth it? Not really wanting to throw down 1k on a new system like dji. Then converting my fleet.
I own a DJI system, but if I'd already had a premium set of goggles I think I would have gone shark byte. I've seen some pretty good video on some of the channels, at least good enough for me, and definitely better than analog. If you already have good goggles, the vtxs are lighter, at least for now and a lot cheaper per quad.
I went that route because I already had HDO2s. I don't regret it. Shark Byte has treated me pretty well, so far. It hasn't been perfect, but nothing is. I've flown DJI and it's very nice, but Shark Byte is also pretty good and has other benefits. A big one for me is that it acts just like an analog system, so I can easily fly with three or seven other analog pilots, like at races.
What a great example of how fiddly it is to build with these mini boards. Boards with big pads are best. Boards with connectors are second best. Boards with small pads are just a headache that I would rather avoid.
I watched his video and I really like his approach, but, for most people, it will be very difficult, where I wanted this build to be more approachable for more people. Also, with the slightly larger pod, it adds a bumper at the top to protect better in crashes. If it is 1 or 2 grams heavier, to add durability, I think it is worth it. The performance is insane, and the couple grams doesn’t matter. Bubby trippy spinned inside of a small room, and MattyFlipped himself. Couldn’t fly too bad ;)
this guy is reckless with the tip! no sponge, hemostats dangling.. you are braver than I! hahahah im just playing....where did you get that frame from? its huge! *edit* im dumb its a rotor riot product.... I didnt realize what I was watching i have youtube on while I am trying to put a new UFL port on the same sharkbyte vtx! *another note* there is verrrrrrrrrrrrry little trace to follow to replace your antenna pad if it rips off so dont....I wasnt even flying it....
Rotor Riot, love you guys. Great information. But hey, the video methods/techniques on this video (and so many others), I think, are horrible. I get that quick cuts and making the camera move/shake, zoom in and out randomly, etc, is a thing (I guess those techniques are supposed to somehow make the video more interesting or entertaining or artsy), but IMHO, it's very distracting and makes the video one huge IRRITATION to get thru. I'd love it if the darn camera was JUST HELD STILL. Imagine that, a video where the camera pans smoothly, cuts are not "abrupt", the camera is held still, etc. Anyway, my 2 cents. I just hate the "shake" method of making a video.
Congratulations! You copied the Beta85X HD whoop but used a lesser digital video system (theirs uses a naked Caddx Vista) and an uglier canopy and are charging $80 more for it.
Yeah, these companies that charge way more for their BNF than the RETAIL cost of the parts combined can forget about me buying from them! Avant quads does that to a slight extent, when compared to these guys! Total rip off! PLUS, it's got SharkByteMe! That sums it up, I think! LOL 😩😳🙄
I'm waiting for it to come back in stock. Would love to buy one
I ended up taking off the rx connector and just using the little pads, on the betafpv v3 board.
btw i love to see you guys implementing sharkbyte! thats awesome

He did not solder JST connectors to the motor wires

Sean has been watching Mr shutterbug to see how he does it

Any link for babyshark X8 build ?
That sigh after 'FRSKY Receiver' lol 0:32
I always bind the receiver before I put it in the Kwad , much easier .
Same! Connect it to my Arduino Uno.
Duly noted...thanks 👍
I really wanted the digiwhoop didn’t wanna wait for stock though hopefully I’ll get one eventually!

Sharkbyte is only cheaper if you AREADY own a pair of analog goggles with a supported adapter. Otherwise DJI is cheaper
@Isaac lanier thanks
@@johncarold of course
Great canopy, will you be sharing the STL on thingiverse ?
Where are of the vids of the big event?
Dude, where can I find that CF stiff?
What is the weight please? Trying to compare how much weight the shark byte saves over a vista on a whoop.

@@Stevieboy7 Some people actually like to build things
So would this be able to bind with the DJI FPV Goggles and/or DJI FPV controller?
No. This is built with the Shark Byte system.

Every time he said babby shark I had to pauses and sing doo doo dododado 😂😂
Can your guys put the pod to sell for us?
Sean dont cut the motor wires what if you cut the fire instead of removing the wire insulation so just cut the wire thats attacted to the plug instead
And the motor cost more than the little plug

9:17 quick math
Baby shark do dodo da doot a do
Even though this is a really good build, I am just going to stick with mrShutterbugs build. But sill ❤️ the video!!

I've not watched all of this video. If anyone has, can you please timestamp any reference made to MrShutterbug? Thanks 😄
We filmed this 4 months ago.
@@LetsFlyRC Cool. Great stuff!

sorry did he say 73% + 37%, damn that's a lot of solder

Motors are too small but cool build 👍🏻
Except for the part where it looks like it is completely out of control and may not fly properly... nice video :-/

Hello
Shark Byte? Wtf that's not HD that's only analog +
1st
So y’all gonna duke it out or what ?
You must know by now, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT! 💩
