I love that 10 years on from the birth of things, we have gone from taping gopros to airframes, through all the evolution of servo, Alexmos and modern brushless gimbals, back to strapping cameras to airframes and trying to find ways to damp out the vibrations! 😄 I also love that pilot skill has come back into it.
Okay, I'm sure other people have thought this but when you hear Paul laugh, (and at certain times when he talks) you all hear Seth Rogen as well right? Excited to see this one
Respect dude! That is an analog build and those wires off the poles were probably invisible. Also was that a ground tap coming in the home straight there??? Holy moly :)
Man, just months ago when I discovered the community and your channel- there were leaves covering that tree in your yard still and it was beautiful. Winter can be nice too but it's just another reminder that we're soon looping the winter season again in general. Another year passing.
@@NURKFPV It's just harder to get around and all that holiday craze... maybe it will be an awesome New Year though. 🤞✌ Sometimes I feel like I could straight skip Christmas though... sometimes anyway.
I think that the motors are something to work on. following kabab's motor size chart there's a ratio that comes out between the stator diameter and height. (stator diameter / stator height) should be between 3.5 and 5. If you go lower than 3.5 you get an inefficient motor because it heats up, if you go over 5 you get a motor that flies bad, if you go way higher, around 7 or 9 you start to have desyncs. Keeping the 2812 stator volume while having a ratio between 3.5 and 5 gives motor sizes like 3507.5, which has a ratio of 4.6, very similar to kabab's new motor (of which I'm not going to tell the size). If I was about to ask a manufacturer to make me a new motor for this kind of build I would ask for a 3507.5 1200kv. A little higher kvs than the 2812 in the video but you can work your kvs with scaling and finding what you think is the most appropriate. NB: this are assumptions based on someone else's work, not mine, I'm just thinking with his numbers. Let's talk about it in a polite way :)
You are truly a no holds barred master quad builder and could probably fly anything, and with style and finesse. I say get ridiculous and build a quad you could punch it into low earth orbit. I love your passion and enthusiasm when hearing that 12s go screaming by at mach2. I can’t wait for the footage of the 144s you build that travels into the future!
"One more rip...", Your excitement saying this cracked me up.. Found myself nodding and agreeing with my device screen, Lol. One of them thumbs up is me...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Thats really awesome. Just curious what your rate profiles looks like. Thanks. That 12s video is what got me into FPV from an automated boring drone. Thanks for the addiction. Kudos
Nurk you have like 4.8 million dollars in quads and fpv gear in your workshop😂 Never thought I'd say this... But you need a 12S-tep program. Great video, Good Sir.
Mr Nurk FPV, I do want you to know that I honestly really appreciate your skill and I especially appreciate all the content you provided during the heart of the lockdown. HOWEVER ... don't think that I didn't notice you didn't do any of your fancy rolls and flips while LOS hovering that thing . . . ;-) Edit: OK, so I spoke too soon, and you did do your fancy rolls while flying LOS outside. I hereby acknowledge that I was wrong in calling you out and that you have upheld your standing as an elite pilot in the upper echelon of the FPV world, even when there are thousands of dollars of camera gear at stake. And I hereby promise to never doubt your skills again, unless doing so provides a small amount of humour in a RUclips comment.
The advantage of the Thicc is I've actually had props come unscrewed in flight with a 3 pound payload and it flew home fine. I hate to admit 8 props is just too many to remember when tightening them down. :) So there's some motor/ESC failure tolerance there that the quad doesn't have. And, funny you thought rectilinear is "unnatural". I LOVED it. Superview is way unnatural to me.
Impressive show of payload capabilities in terms of potential IMO but I am still new and learning and maybe way wrong and off. Like you stated this particular build was for entertainment I wonder where the benchmarks are in order to start thinking about surpassing existing capabilities. One thing I noticed that I am sure you did as well was at 11:15ish there was a twitch or stutter looking like it was pulling down right and then back to center, it was fast and curious if it was a camera thing or actually entire unit thing. The foam thingy like you were saying could be it but because of where the craft was at the time (straight line of flight not a turn or flip or anything crazy) I thought maybe a motor? I thought to share in case it was a warning so to speak in the footage of something perhaps more than just the prime foam mount which turned out pretty nice btw not trying to sound critical.lol. Ty again sir for the content.
I have never been so scared watching someone freestyle $5k. My son and I were both shouting at you flying between those cables! Love your work bro. Inspirational. I would be a patron but I’m struggling finding my own fpv addiction 🤑😜💥👊🏽🙏🏾🙌🏾🤦🏽♂️👆🏾👉🏾👈🏾
Hello Hello From Canada!! That quad is crazyzz in the best way!!! I saw you first in the Rotor Riot visit that made everyone cringe and step back after the POP when you plugged in the cells. LOL I nearly pissed myself laughing, because I thought they would have been ready for anything, but it freaked them out. Have you tested with other props like 5-blades? Going with the different configuration may help to get rid of that slight lag you described being like turbo lag. The Spitfire for example got more power and more power to the point that 2, 3 and 4 blades couldn't utilize the power potential. You have motors and a cell configuration that may spin the 3 blade so fast that it looses thrust. The Spitfire used 5 blades to use the massive power first to take off faster on shorter air strips, but also pass the motors high RPMs to higher thrust speed once flying. I think you have supersonic motors spinning a subsonic prop, to fast to get the initial torque for crisper response. I am so glad I found your channel though. It is hard to find anyone pushing the envelope like you have with your "???". I am new to your channel so I do not know if you have come up with a name for this little beast yet. Keep up the awesome content my friend and I can't wait to see more insane stuff you come up with.
I'm not used to the looks of usual FPV footage like you are, but I love this rectilinear look of the Laowa more than the fisheye look you get from GoPros
I literally just emailed Andy about a 9inch 12S Cinerig. Maybe with a bigger prop and a lower KV it’ll be a bit safer, and I think it’ll be a lot faster compared to the Thicc
You always have nice builds. Sadly youtube is completely destroying your footage but thats amazing to see what you can do. Im working on something crazy this winter , cant wait to put it in the air
Good work bro. Seen someone manage an 8s cinewhoop maybe with the kimodo but they couldn't freestyle. Thats sick new stuff there. Have a look at square pultruded carbon, should be able to build a frame around it using 3d printed joints. Its square so easier. I'm a pretty good aircraft engineer my Valkyrie project is around these performances scales and intend to follow a wingsuit guy out a plane next summer so it will be fast but also has gravity assist lol, limit drag is all.. Isnt the zcam any good? Looks a good size and price.
hey Nurkin pioneermode, i have question? would it help or hinder to do some sort of balancing of the whole monster? like pick your center line X,Y,Z axis (i would think to put the horizontal and vertical at an angle, like a crosshair line of sight of the 4k camera( if you know what i mean??! )) i know adding a couple of counterweights seems coutherintuitive (ha) couldn't count on countering the,..... ran out of counters,..... but like i said i was wondering during the flight if that is something that could make it more nimbleybimbly to flipityflopity more freeeeeely and smooooothly? nice one bruv, tghanks for the vid outside the box. hope you started like a whole new thangg,.... name it quick,.... la'ers man,......*flies away,....... P.S,..... FIRST!!!!
Hello NURK, I've been watching and admiring your videos for some time now as I inch my way into the hobby. As fast as money will allow, I've been building swapping and upgrading. Anyway I have maybe a dumb question. I'm gearing up to buy a new pair of FPV goggles and have decided to go with those baddass fatshark goggles and add the rapid fire to them. But I watched one of your vids where you tested those TrueRC Patch antennas for long range and penatration and Im wondering if those would work on the fatshark goggles or if those are specifically for DJI, if not what antennas would you recommend to use, btw im using a taranis 9XD radio if that matters. Thanks in advance for any advice, and keep up the good work,.
I am an experienced RC pilot. I am an experienced videographer. But damn would I shit my pants flying this thing and knowing that I could crash these 2k dollars in the blink of an eye - copter being by far the cheapest part in the equation.
Jheeeeze , man you gave me anxiety, this is the camera I use the most, it’s awesome. It would break my little heart to see it smashed against a post. Balls of steel. Try with a RED Komodo? 😂
Also, if you want to weigh that thing you could just ask to borrow Drew's scale the next time you fly with him. (i kid, I fly Skyeliner frames. All in fun.)
Hey, nice idea! Have you considered using the Canon EF-S 10-18mm lens for this? I guess you use the Laowa because of it's center of gravity, weight and wide focal length, but I seriously think you might have better results with the canon. It's super lightweight, too. It produces a nice image and is stabilized. Just an idea. Thanks for the video, pretty interesting experiment you got going there! :)
Great video and amazing concept! :D Gives me hope for having a cine camera on a smaller bird one day. ADVICE/IDEA: look up the Z-cam E2-M4 camera for this setup - it is cheap, takes same lenses as you use on the BMPCC (m4/3) stock, but you can also buy canon, etc mounts for future proofing. I've shot indie films on both - the Zcam is EASILY heavier than the BMPCC as its metal not plastic - BUT it's a tiny cube shape, so perhaps you might find it easier to mount/fly as the weight i imagine would be more evenly distributed?? Just an idea! :D Keep being awesomesauce xxx
@@NURKFPV ohhh yeah good call! :) We've not used one ourselves yet, but it does look like it would be spot on for FPV size stuff - if the image is anything like the GH5s you'll be laughing :)
Awesome man. You know what’s gonna happen guys like you are going to come up with some awesome stuff and then boom theses camera company are gonna produce cameras the size of gopros with full frame sensors 4K 120 12bit 4:2:2 color space log internal with ReelSteady tech in camera. Lol.

Ummm, you’re definitely onto something here. Also, this content is spectacular. Thanks!!
playing around with crazy ideas is what the RC hobby is all about. We wouldn't have FPV multicopters without it

15s?!! This thing is gonna jump to the moon
It's only 12s
well.. 12s but it has a 3s battery
As someone who does alot of commercial work this could be a very handy tool for you to have! Did someone say fpv shots in action movies? 😂

Good to see you fly very slow and cautious during the test flight around the house...
Yes, Nurk generally flies very slow like that...
When I first saw the Sigma FP camera, I thought immediately that it would be really good for strapping to drones.
That was awesome Nurk. Now I really want to change my tasmanian xclass burd into a 12S cineburd

Stones would be putting a Komodo up on it. We have not developed the stones to do that either, but I'm sure Nurk will.
