Thanks buddy, I built 2x 250 sized quads back in 2016-2017 (still flying great) and I haven't kept up with all the new stuff since then. This video has been helpful to get back in to things.
Hello, I have a microzone mc6c transmitter and a mc6RE receiver so now I need to make a fpv racing drone using this transmitter and receiver so is the mc6RE receiver has an S.BUS port to connect a flight controller???so is this MC6RE receiver compatible with any S.BUS support fpv racing drone flight controllers??(someone who else please reply to this question as soon as possible)
Thank you for this video. I’m new to building drones and your videos are very good. I know almost nothing about this stuff and I feel more comfortable choosing now.
Hello,is the 4.3inch Iflight goggles with DVR fpv goggles can pair with eachine TX805 VTX ??? is this Iflight goggles better than other cheap goggles???(someone who else please reply to this question as soon as possible)
Hello! I am complete newbee at flight controllers and I have got some questions: --- can these be used in a 6 or 8 motor config? --- can I program these in a similar way like arduinos or microcontrollers? --- can they automatically lock to a given hight and also keep away from obstacles?
Very nice video, but I do think you should've said something about having to consider parameters like weight in consideration of what your goal is with the quad. Freestyle, racing, cinewhooping, tinywhooping. Some styles of flying or drones, might require different weight classes or shapes perhaps.

Thanks for the help and explanations. Just starting a build and hopefully it’ll work. Do you know of any cameras that have a night vision feature or infrared?
Can you explain the flight controllers a lil more when you talk about the 5v cause I see a lot of FC that say 5v. Cause I was wondering if I still have to find a way to give it 5v with a stack or does that only pertain to FC alone?
I've been hearing about some DJI HD boards having overheating issues when powering the DJI air unit and causing freezing and loss of video. Specifically with the Matek F722 HD. Do you have any thoughts on this or have any findings? Is it more reliable to power DJI from an external BEC connected to the 4in1 ESC battery leads where the capacitor is soldered?
I am looking for a Flight Controller for my bigger 650 drone and really dont want to buy another pixhawk, as I really dont like that firmware and software, at all. Would love to be able to use betaflight actually. Does anyone know if any of these controllers will actually be able to support one servo motor? Meaning I basically need a PWM signal output there. on/off.. very basic. But i dont see this functionality in any of these.
Hey I want to but a 30 x 30 flight controller but I need 6 motors and I need it to have no fpv or camera or GPS. But I need all the given features for flight. Can you help me please. Regards Alex
I appreciate the hard work in putting this together, but I didn’t understand any of these: Micro controller, f4/7, processor, memory, beta flight, e7, subs, ibus, inverted, Uninverted, pad, rx pad, 4 in 1 esc, chip, 2-6s, frame, does every flight controller go with any esc? Receiver? I’m confused as to what any of these mean, after a while I drifted off as this video is NOT for beginners as I got lost very quickly
Very helpful content. Can you run 6S on a FC for DJI rated for 4S but with an ESC rated for 6S? I'm assuming the ESC is powering the FC with a BEC, to be specific a Transtec F411HD FC on an iFlight Succex-E 45A 30x30 ESC?
Hi @DroneMesh, I'm new to the racing drone scene, I just bought a drone kit from Facebook marketplace in New Zealand. It was for $30NZD which was hard to miss, like I mentioned, I'm new to this and I know nothing. I saw the photos and it was not assembled, all I know is that it is the rip off version of the ZMR250 drone, "Mystery H250 drone", came with 4x DYS 10A ESC, 4x DYS BE1806 2300 KV motor and a OpenPilot CC3D Flight controller. I know the electronic is ancient, but I'm on a budget and since it is my first one, i just wanna learn to fly first and get a hang of it. I watched videos and I know I need a PDB for this, RX/TX and Li-Po. Do you recommend sticking with what I have now and upgrade to a better one later? I was looking at the FRSky X9Lite Tx and R-XSR Rx for controls and I know it can be used on a different model after upgrading. Main question is, what do I need to get or do to get the drone running? I know I will be getting the bug of getting a better one like the Diatone with Stack F7's. And for this build, I'm not looking at having FPV cam or any sort. Just to fly with current ancient setup. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Cheers DM
So if i buy a stack i dont need a 9v regulator? Im thinking about getting de hobbywing xrotor f4 60A but it didnt have a 9v regulator so i got indecicive. Thank you in advance :)
Awesome informative vids. Im an airplane pilot looking to get into building my own cinematic drone & ur vids are very informative & thorough but not too overwhelming either. I have a few questions if u dont mind answering. 1. When u use the DGI flight controller is it essentially the same as flying a mavik when it comes to features and in some regards, flight characteristics? 2. Using DJI flight controller as an example, can you use the DJI fly software? What do people typically use on their smart phones to control their drones? Or do they use the RC controller mostly? 3. Im having trouble understanding the difference between cinematic drones & and fpv drones. I want to use my drone for photography so i like the gps/programmable functions that dji mavik cinematic drones offer, but i like the sporty features & speeds that FPV seems to have Is it possible to build a drone which is both fpv & cinematic which uses gps and i can program to fly certain way points and do specific things like take a panoramic shot, or orbit something and film video? 4. If i want to do flips & tricks do i need to go FPV or can cinematic drones do them too? The only experience i have with drones so far is the dji mini 2 and it doesnt do anything fancy in terms of tricks, and at 30mph id hardly consider that fast. It takes great photos/video though and has amazing range. 5. I really like the idea of building a drone based around an raspberry pi. Ive heard of something called pix hawk. Is that a whole completely different beast alogether then what you’re dealing with here? Id love to see a video on pix hawk drones that use an LTE connection and RC conroller so i dont ever worry about losing reception/ interference. If u have any good info on pixhawk pls share! Thanks so much. !!

I can reply to some of your questions: 2. Self-made drones are mostly controlled by remote controllers, smartphones can be used as video displays only. 5. Raspberry Pi might be heavy for many drones and because it has very powerful CPUs, it may consume more energy than other flight controllers based on STM32 microcontroller. For LTE you need also a sim card and data contract with an operator, you need to pay a data packet or pay the bill monthly. If you control the drone over LTE, then it might not be "real-time" anymore unlike RC controller. Because LTE latency is high in comparison to RC controllers.
U can put witch ever one you want if you have a 3 inch you will use a 20x20 stack or a 16mmx16mm stack or a 5 inch 30c30 stack the higher amp the better I think . The heavier quad the higher amp you will want so yo don't over work it.
Help!:) What do I need to set up the drone to follow me? I guess a controller with Bluetooth and a phone? I am planning to build one but this feature is important for me. Could someone recommend me a good one? Thank you
I'd really like to see you cover some of the Diatone mamba stacks. F405 and f722s. As well as the esc that would come with them. Braking down the blheli vs blheli 32 and even though people a bonus on how to change blheli into a betaflight 4.1 compatible ESC with the new RPM filtration
Very informative video! I think it will definitely help out many people getting into the hobby in the near future. One thing I believe you didn't mention, though I don't believe needs much coverage, is that if someone purchases a frame that has mounting holes for either a 20x20 stack or 30x30 stack, which size of stack should they go for. I guess this would better fall under ESC selection, because the ESC in the stack probably matters more depending on the particular build, but would you not get more features on a 30x30 stack compared to a similarly priced 20x20 stack?
@@DroneMesh just giving you a hard time. Great videos by the way!. I am a DIY Drone Newb and the more I looked around for information the more I was lost. I get the jest of it all, it's just the lingo and the features available that are tiring. But, you do a great job at breaking it down, and for that I thank you Sir. Actually just finished printing a remix of Horus vtail quad for my first build, so ill be binging your channel today lol. Take it easy!
One last thing. Is there a program available to where you plug in each piece of gear your looking to get and it shows compatibility and what all the combos would provide? Kinda like they have for when your building a PC?

It would be great if you did a video like this for ESCs.
Really love your in depth content but this broad stroke is awesome
He did! ruclips.net/video/gLjEXSozRiM/видео.html
now your talking.
this is by far the best $50 F7 FC i have found ..what a pleasure to set-up and soldering
was so easy
Thanks for the vid, I’m doing my first research now and grinding through a lot of your vids, looking forward to it

Thank you for this video. I’m new to building drones and your videos are very good. I know almost nothing about this stuff and I feel more comfortable choosing now.
Most of the 20x20 stacks I have seen that are m3 mounting holes comes with grommets that take the holes down to an m2 size
I'm new and got plenty of info from this video. Thanks good job.
I plan on building my first drone soon. Your videos have been very helpful. Thanks
believe me the way you explain things we understand great job and thanks

I'm a beginner, please explain what is "DJI stuff" and "OSD"
I love the new 16x16 format.
this video is so good thanks bro
Have you check the new t motor pnp ft5 4s? The specs looks good and only for $160
Buy it
cool but what if FC wont work with ESC?
whats with F1 (eg. CC3D)
with libre pilot
Gday DM, your layout is great, really good info, keep up the awsome work mate.👍🛸
Thanks Man very help full ,going start first build and trying to find what to get and you hit the nail with this video thanks 👍🏻👍🏻🔥
I'm using the flight controller from the emax tinyhawk freestyle 2. Will this fc survive if I use a 3s battery instead of a 2s?
I guess one could always drill out a 2mm to 3mm..pretty easy.
How do I know what amp stack to get.

Fixed Wing or Multi-rotor or any airframe?
Great channel for learning!
Dronemesh, all FCs can take GPS? I thought it was the ones with SDA and LDS pads only.
The ones that have sda pads can use the 880 gps
very interesting video, very well explained

What do you think about holybro kakute f7
Don't buy junk I burned two complete setups on my lap no load
You are the best 👍

Thank You
Make something like kiss fc with rush vtx
What about MAMBA F405 MK2 Betaflight Flight Controller F40 40A 3-6S DSHOT600? Is it not actual in 2020?
Mamba will burn up two the esc ate ok but the flight controller are junk .
