For the capicitor : it should be there so that when your drone pulls a lot of power, the battery doesn't get over discharged quickly. The capicitor is there to add or remove power based on consumption and smooth out your energy pull rate.
Funny story. I purchased everything and put it together in the winter and still have not flown. I'm very mad at myself for not flying but it's been a busy time.
Great video. I'm looking to get into FPV for cinematic purposes but having never built one am wondering if it's better to get one of the bundle kits (off GetFPV) or go from the ground up?
Depends on how much knowledge you have. I did a TON of research and chatted with the people at Getfpv for about a week. A prebuilt or or kit would be a good option
I have found that compatibility isn't really an issue for most parts other than when looking for motors and batteries. I would contact GetFPV for help. Build your ideal drone and send them the list and they should be able to tell you if they will work.
There are plenty of options that you can do to get your whole set up around $200 to $300. I got a cheap headset and controller and that alone costs like $180. Plus the drone parts and such. There are a lot of videos youtube of how to build a cheap FPV drone under $200 or so amount I think. Not sure if they are including the headset and controller in that price but its worth a shot. The reason I went with what I did is so I dont have to upgrade my drone later. Upgrading my controller and headset is an easy task, you can just swap them out. But when you need to replace a part on the drone, it gets more complicated. I was just trying to avoid spending $200 now then another $500 in a year to upgrade.
I can concur after trying to fly in a sim it will look not good at first ha. Flying is really hard. However, you can get the same video quality with a gopro!

This video is amazing, great vibe, simple but has lots of information. Thank you so much :)) Keep it up
Will do! Its finally warm enough for me to get out and fly so let see how often I Crash it!
@@EngineeringFilmmaker cant said to see the clips!
Great video, on point and well made 💯👍🏻
Appreciate it!
You are the best 💯💯💯
Thanks!
I was about to build one and I was lost but this video helped me
Awesome! Hopefully you get one built. I still have a lot of practice to do.

Correct! I can never think of how to explain it. They don't teach us much electrical in Mechanical engineering which sucks for us.
Thank you
Thank you for this! Do you have footage of you flying the FPV?

I’m just looking for a video on part compatibly, any help?

@@EngineeringFilmmaker ok, thank you so much brother!
Will this setup support the weight of a GoPro?
Yes! I have seen much smaller fpv drones handle a gopro with no problem. I ended up modeling a 3d printed mount to hold my gopro on the end of this.
I love this video, very informational for someone like me trying to get into fpv, but i dont have a $500 budget. What should I do?

The Engineering Filmmaker thanks for the response, I will look into it. Is there any youtubers that make fpv drone builds that you recommend.
Hi I am making a 260 dollar build... I’ll post it on my yt if u want to see. But there are plenty of pretty good fpv drone kits, just search em up
This quality will be nothing like the video from the beginning...
