This has been the thing in Asia ever since covid. It started with RC crawler races. They'd equip their RCs with near infinite range, cameras, a steering wheel set-up with gas and break pedals and multiple batteries for extended drive time. There's 1 girl from Japan on RUclips right now that I've found that airs her adventures and races. She uses picture in picture features to allow us to see her in the cockpit driving and in full screen, her vehicle. It's awesome. That honestly would be the 1 reason for me to get a crawler and a low rider. Because of how slow you drive these vehicles, the fully immersed experience is the best way to go. Doing 12mph in a low rider is way more fun from inside the ride. Equip your game chair with a receiver and a vibration function and you'll feel like you're right in the car. The Scoepion game chain is 1 of the best set ups I've seen so far.
WOW, AMAZING ...... FUTURE GAMES WILL BE IN ANOTHER LEVEL, IMAGINE MAKING FORMULA RACE IN A SMALL SCALE CARS WITH THIS CAMERA TECHNOLOGY WILL BE AMAZING . ALL DRIVERS CONTROLING THEIR CARS ONLY USING THIS CAMERA .
Interesting! I didn’t think of it this way. But this isn’t too far removed from “Ready Player One” experience, at least the head movement is similar. The line between real and virtual worlds are blurred a bit…
Robert, your love of FPV knows no bounds! I tried this on my traxxis slash and it’s pretty fun! I wish we lived closer so we could geek out on all things FPV.
Haha, yes indeed. Patrick, you are a motor cycle enthusiast, right? That would be fun to try FPV, too. Though g force or internal gut feel probably play a bigger part on a motorcycle. Wonder if HT FPV would work for RC motor cycle?

Your build inspired me to FPV my Wendigo. Just received my Motionsic B.A.G. today. Running a DJI 03 air unit and Googles 2. My pistol grip Radiolink RC8X has a DSC port for head tracking and 800 meter range. Should be enough, but if not it is also crossfire compatible. I think surface FPV is about to get more popular and I can`t wait to see the advancements made this year.
Thanks for your support! Make sure to give plenty of air flow to the O3 Air Unit. It runs hotter than OG Air Unit and requires a fan for surface FPV applications to prevent over-heating. Looking forward to your footage!
I've been thinking about this since I got my first Tyco RC Lambo Countach back in the late 80's. I always wanted to be inside driving it and this is the closest thing. The possibilities with this type of tech are so huge. A live action video game pretty much.
@@motionsic I spent the last few hours looking into FPV and FPV with head tracking and i keep getting sent back to your videos. You should make a DJI tutorial from beginning to end. whats need, what to purchase, what to solder what where. all the info. I think you would get a lot of hits. I know i would be here. You do good work. The above video is wild. My worry is the spend all that money and to burn something up.
This should be very useful for other tasks such as Patrol the area around the farm, search for victims in disaster areas, survey dangerous areas, or even use it as a messenger on campus, etc.
I think that jeep driving looked awesome! And a little roll is always nice, as long as it doesn't flip. Let's you know there's some forces on the chassis, adds more feeling 😀

@@motionsic I also tend to go on pretty flat roads to reduce vibration in the feed. In the winter time, there was some rough sections where it was really hard to see what was going on due to all the motion when going over frozen unevenness in the road. But hey, sliding around in FPV is so much fun! :D
Fpv rc crawlers are alot of fun. I'm planning on getting a BAG gimble soon. Just need to add a roll servo for leaning out the driver's side window. What controller are you driving with?
I want to do this to help elderly people with limited mobility, like my own parents. They could go on fun trips together without having to leave their living room, and experience their yard/garden/orchard in a whole different way. They could invite their friends over and take them on trips, too, giving them all some fun social time. So I might eventually set up a handful of vehicles to handle group outings. I might get them an Avata 2, too, to let them experience FPV flying.
I can’t even get this head tracker to work with my analog goggles and TX16S radio… really wish I hadn’t spent the cash on it now as I haven’t even used it once and can’t without dumping a crap load of cash I do not have on dji goggles and what not… 🤦🏼♂️ fml
This is exactly what I've been wanting to do with my RC crawler. You mentioned using a different receiver; can you give specifics of what was used in this video?

@@motionsic Thanks for the tip!!! : just spent the weekend upgrading a 20 year old Losi 1/10th race truck with brushless motor/esc and the Radiolink RC6GS. Enabled 2-Axis head tracking on the DSC port of the Tx - plugged the head tracking servos into ch 5 and ch6 : works perfectly. Closest to Plug & Play yet for head tracking FPV.
As a kid I could only dream of this! I remember playing revolt. Why isnt anyone buying an abandoned factory to turn it into a fpv racetrack? Car designs could be revolt inspred as well they have a lot of fun ones
Trainer cable, common among rc plane transmitters. Less so for RC car transmitters. Though this one has trainer connection:: www.amazon.com/Radiolink-Transmitter-Receiver-Crawler-Drifting/dp/B07DPNNTWT
I think you should put little springs under the drivers seat to give it a slight suspension. So the camera doesn't appear to be so rigid in its movements. When its bouncing etc. Just an idea
The FPV components in this video was last generation.

Hi, I just discovered your channel recently and I fell in love with the head tracking fpv flight footage! Unfortunately it's a headache in Germany to fly planes with cameras onboard. Then I saw this and it is almost as cool. Can you provide either a list of components to buy for exactly this setup or sell it to me? I have no experience in RC stuff, do a one stop solution would be best for me. Best, Luca
Here’s the list of components I used: DJI Digital FPV Goggles: m.dji.com/product/dji-fpv-goggles-v2 DJI Digital FPV Air unit www.amazon.com/DJI-CP-TR-00000004-01-FPV-Air-Unit/dp/B07VYVR1SH Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-b-a-g-badass-gimbal Tally-ho Head-tracker fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-head-tracker
You will also need a surface radios controller that has DSC port to accept head-tracker signal like RadioLink: ruclips.net/video/0H5zo-yfWdw/видео.html It’s fairly straight forward to setup all the components with included instructions. We are happy to help if you have any questions. Greetings from California Robert/Motionsic
@@LimaUniformCharlieA the car is this one: www.redcatracing.com/products/redcat-wendigo-1-10-scale-brushless-electric-rc-rock-racer The controller I used is a RC plane controller, which you do not need. You can use this one: www.amazon.com/Radiolink-Transmitter-Receiver-Crawler-Drifting/dp/B07DPNNTWT
It's slightly easier with the mechanical stability of fixed wing vs rotorcraft, but either case the secret would be to rig one of the momentary transmitter buttons as essentially a "free look" button, when you press it locks heading and attitude and frees head tracking to gimbal, on release it snaps back to centre and releases controls.
Why? I fly with head-tracking activated for the whole flight from takeoff to landing, no issues. It’s just like flying full-scale, no difference: ruclips.net/video/N5cBKmFZ6Lo/видео.html
VERY nice stuff. You're using an air receiver and transmitter? All of this head tracking stuff is now incorporated in the RadioLink land receivers and transmitters too - pistol grip style.
What is the distance and how do you get it to go that far without cutting out and how many of these can be operated within the same vicinity at one time?
I really don't know that much about FPV and never really thought goggles would be comfortable to wear. I have been considering trying out FPV on an RC car and watching on a monitor. Your idea kind of changes my thoughts on how to approach FPV. This sure would make driving so much easier. Awesome... Oh btw the image quality of the pivoting camera looks excellent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for your compliments. It is as easy and as intuitive as driving a real car, which everyone knows how to do. Just investigate digital FPV if you like the image quality. Pick among DJI FPV, Walksnail or HDZero. The de facto leader is DJI FPV. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.
Question. I need to control multiple RC cars using one radio. How can I achieve this? Ex: I need to drive one car to a location, park it. Then using that same radio, take control of a different car, while the first one remains parked, and drive that one somewhere. Then be able to switch back and forth, between the cars
Most Computer radios (transmitter) can be bind to different receivers in each car. So when you select a particular car in the transmitter, only that receiver would be under control. Works the same way in planes. Spektrum, FrSky all have this function. Futuba seems to be different, even if the wrong car is selected, both car would be under control at the same time.
Question: So I bought a Tally-ho, b.a.g gimbal, DJI FPV goggles, and the Radiolink RC6GS. Followed the instructions and updated the tally ho firmware, dji goggles, and Radiolink. I know the tally-ho works because when I move it, the line changes in the program. And I know b.a.g. system works, too, as manual switches from the receiver can control it. But when linked together, the motion sensors don't work. I have the following questions: 1) Do I need to program the tally-ho to use channel 5,6 instead? 2) Do I need to change any settings on the googles? 3) For DSC, there are two-way vs three-way. Which one is correct? Two ways? Any help will be appreciated as I have spent a few hours and no luck.
1. Yes. Need to change pan & tilt output on Tally-ho HT to Ch. 5 & 6 and save settings. That’s what RC 6GS accepts for head-tracking as default. 2. No need to change setting on Goggles to get HT working. They are independent of each other except physically attached together. Though I suggest you change device output power to 700mW and turn auto temperature protection off to get max range. 3. Not sure what you mean between two & three way? Switch or connector?
Hey man, I love this video! Would you mind sharing what that orange camera is? I've been having a hard time finding non-FPV very small cameras. Thanks!
Which Fatshark goggle do you have? If you want to use head-tracker, find Trinity head-tracker module for your goggles. The camera for this setup only works with DJI FPV goggles. You can get the gimbal and head-tracker here: Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-b-a-g-badass-gimbal Tally-ho Head-tracker fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-head-tracker
Great idea! Thinking of doing this one one of my cars, but wondering what the surface radio setup is? I've seen the video for the IX12, but i'm wondering what you're doing for the crawlers here!
I used a air transmitter since I don’t normally use surface radios. But Radiolink has one RCG6S that can use the head-tracker, quite affordable, too: www.amazon.com/Radiolink-Transmitter-Receiver-Crawler-Drifting/dp/B07DPNNTWT/ref=asc_df_B07DPNNTWT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507593790682&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16166407696070618192&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031532&hvtargid=pla-865252353059&psc=1
That there’s the dilemma, the cheap ones won’t give you the immersive feel with crappy video, and the good ones aren’t cheap🤷🏻♂️. Here’s list I used: DJI Digital FPV Goggles: m.dji.com/product/dji-fpv-goggles-v2 DJI Digital FPV Air unit www.amazon.com/DJI-CP-TR-00000004-01-FPV-Air-Unit/dp/B07VYVR1SH Motionsic BAG - BadAss Gimbal fpvdogfight.com/products/motionsic-b-a-g-badass-gimbal Tally-ho Head-tracker fpvdogfight.com/products/tally-ho-head-tracker
I need urgent help. The image breaks after traveling a short distance. The video bitrate does not exceed 5, and when it goes away, the connection drops completely. Please help.
Very nice! I am more of a fpv drone enthusiast but this makes me want to buy a car and put one of my dji fpv units in it. Which rc cars would you recommend that aren't too expensive and easy enough to fit the motionsic gimbal in it ? Also does the head tracker work with the radiomaster zorro transmitter ?
This Redcat Wendigo fits the gimbal nicely, I think other rock crawler or rock racers in the 1/10 scale would work, too. RadioMaster Zorro has a DSC port to connect with our head tracker (using trainer function), so it works! Read this page: fpvdogfight.com/blogs/news/head-tracking-fpv-setup-on-rc-plane-or-car
@@motionsic Thanks for the quick response. The wendigo seems nice indeed, but I don't think there is any physical or online rc shop in France (where I live) proposing it. What is the other blue car of your buddy in the video ? it also looks nice.
No programming involves. Just basic setup on RC transmitter that allows head-tracking, like the RadioLink RC6GS V2: ruclips.net/video/0H5zo-yfWdw/видео.html
Amazing thank-you. Is there something with a higher range? I live in the city and my DJI mavic 3 starts to get low signal at 1.5km. But at the countryside it gets 8+km
@@thelawfamilyproduction great! The head-tracker works via the trainer/buddy box function of your RC transmitter. The HT is essentially treated as the student TX. Instead of assigning flight controls to the HT, only assign two channels controlling pan and tilt on the gimbal. That’s it! Here’s a video that shows how to setup the DX9 transmitter (should be similar to DX8): ruclips.net/video/2r62KTRXq7U/видео.html
great, I watched your video twice ahaha. I have the dji goggle 2 and I'm going to buy the dji air unit o3, but how do I get the gyro signal from the v2 helmet to transmit to the headtrack motors? which kit to buy? (robotic arm) need special cables? I will install on the traxxas UDR
We normally utilize trainer mode of air transmitters for head-tracker input. For surface transmitter, they need to have a DSC port (look like 3.5mm audio jack) to input head-tracker signal. Not sure if Traxxas transmitter has one. But RadioLink RC6GS & RC8X comes ready to accept head-tracker signal. Gimbal servos simply plug into 2 specified receiver channels.
@@motionsic can you please link me to a video that teaches me how to install the 360 camera, and how to connect it to my cockpit, with a list of what I need?
Is there a way to make the servos on the head tracking system become a left / right & forward / reverse for the truck instead & you mount the camera like regular ? My 13 year old nephew had been paralyzed for a year now & I want to get him to have control of RC car / drone possibly. I know the drone would only be head tracking for camera & I could fly it for him . He has a wheel chair that he controls with his head & he’s nimble with it so that gave me the idea . I used to build FPV drones for years before his accident I used to chase him on his dirt bikes while flying drones . He was a 1st place champion btw on dirtbikes in his local racing organization the kid is a winner at every hobby .I just want to give him a sense of freedom & control with the FPV world of drones / cars / planes 🫡
Yes. Head-tracker output (ppm) can be mapped to any output channel with RC transmitter that has that capability. Like a Radiomaster MT12: www.getfpv.com/radiomaster-mt12-surface-radio-controller-w-er3c-i-receiver-elrs-2-4ghz.html Or other flight radios that has trainer mode which recognize head-tracker input as student input.
It’s a Redcat Wendigo 1:10 Rock Racer. So 1/12 should still work. The gimbal needs a a flat plate to secure the base on. I hot glued a piece of plywood on the body shell for the gimbal to anchor on.
2.5 miles or 4 km according to DJI (no obstruction). I have not tested it. But I know on the ground, I usually loose RC signal before losing video signal.

Fpv rc crawlers are alot of fun. I'm planning on getting a BAG gimble soon. Just need to add a roll servo for leaning out the driver's side window. What controller are you driving with?
I was using a Futuba T10J air transmitter.
I want to do this to help elderly people with limited mobility, like my own parents. They could go on fun trips together without having to leave their living room, and experience their yard/garden/orchard in a whole different way. They could invite their friends over and take them on trips, too, giving them all some fun social time. So I might eventually set up a handful of vehicles to handle group outings. I might get them an Avata 2, too, to let them experience FPV flying.
Hopefully in 5 years , I can buy something like that for a reasonable price. I don't understand why the RC community hasn't embrace the goggles.
Indeed. Just need some more competition among goggle manufacturers to get the price more reasonable.
I agree too
I can’t even get this head tracker to work with my analog goggles and TX16S radio… really wish I hadn’t spent the cash on it now as I haven’t even used it once and can’t without dumping a crap load of cash I do not have on dji goggles and what not… 🤦🏼♂️ fml

Trainer cable, common for plane transmitters, less so for car transmitters.

Awesome 👏
What a great view!
Thanks Rick!
Very cool!👍
Hey Robert, I am new to the hobby and really interested in this FPV setup. Can you make a detailed video of the build?
Will do! Thanks for your business!
@@motionsichi, i am super interested in this too! please do
I think you should put little springs under the drivers seat to give it a slight suspension. So the camera doesn't appear to be so rigid in its movements. When its bouncing etc.
Just an idea
Good idea! Will check it out…
@@motionsic maybe swap lens for larger field of view aswell?
This is awesome!!! Can you post a list of the parts you got to set this up? I need to try this.
The FPV components in this video was last generation. Here’s a more current list:

I think this might be fun on a TRX4 trail machine, not so much a rock crawler but on an actual trail in the forest or something.
I agree. Narrow trails with tall obstacles on both sides are the best!
Really cool developments. Wow. What’s the setup cost for this FPV experience on my RC.
About $900 for the full head-tracking FPV setup.
impressive
Thought about trying this on my xmaxx. As I want to try it on a plane as well. Never tried the head tracking yet.
I make it a mission to make the head-tracking part easy to install🙂.
I assume that you will run in frequency overlapping issues when you doing a race with a lot of peoples.
The FPV system I use allow up to seven people playing together.
Hi, I just discovered your channel recently and I fell in love with the head tracking fpv flight footage! Unfortunately it's a headache in Germany to fly planes with cameras onboard.
Then I saw this and it is almost as cool. Can you provide either a list of components to buy for exactly this setup or sell it to me? I have no experience in RC stuff, do a one stop solution would be best for me.
Best,
Luca

@@motionsic What car is it? And which receiver/transmitter did you use?
You will also need a surface radios controller that has DSC port to accept head-tracker signal like RadioLink: ruclips.net/video/0H5zo-yfWdw/видео.html
It’s fairly straight forward to setup all the components with included instructions. We are happy to help if you have any questions.
Greetings from California

@@LimaUniformCharlieA the car is this one: www.redcatracing.com/products/redcat-wendigo-1-10-scale-brushless-electric-rc-rock-racer
The controller I used is a RC plane controller, which you do not need.
You can use this one: www.amazon.com/Radiolink-Transmitter-Receiver-Crawler-Drifting/dp/B07DPNNTWT
The fpv camera could also mount a small laser for lasertag
Yeah, there are existing kits that can be easily adapted for this. Check out FPV-Combat.com
This so sick I'm new to the hobby and I'm already 3 cars in and 2500 down in my amazon cart lol 😆 not included the drones I want to pick up.
There should be FPV car racing leagues ( F1 [UF1], NASCAR, MotoGP (motorcycles), etc. ). Think about using a 3 axis gimbal...yaw, pitch, and roll.
Working on one.
It's slightly easier with the mechanical stability of fixed wing vs rotorcraft, but either case the secret would be to rig one of the momentary transmitter buttons as essentially a "free look" button, when you press it locks heading and attitude and frees head tracking to gimbal, on release it snaps back to centre and releases controls.
Why? I fly with head-tracking activated for the whole flight from takeoff to landing, no issues. It’s just like flying full-scale, no difference: ruclips.net/video/N5cBKmFZ6Lo/видео.html
VERY nice stuff. You're using an air receiver and transmitter? All of this head tracking stuff is now incorporated in the RadioLink land receivers and transmitters too - pistol grip style.
Wow Great! Thanks for letting me know. Need to go buy one and test it out. Care to share a link?
What is the distance and how do you get it to go that far without cutting out and how many of these can be operated within the same vicinity at one time?
Depending on the radio used and how many things are blocking signal transmission. Goggles allow up to 7 players to play together at once.
I really don't know that much about FPV and never really thought goggles would be comfortable to wear. I have been considering trying out FPV on an RC car and watching on a monitor. Your idea kind of changes my thoughts on how to approach FPV. This sure would make driving so much easier. Awesome... Oh btw the image quality of the pivoting camera looks excellent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for your compliments. It is as easy and as intuitive as driving a real car, which everyone knows how to do. Just investigate digital FPV if you like the image quality. Pick among DJI FPV, Walksnail or HDZero. The de facto leader is DJI FPV. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.
@@motionsic Thank you so much for the leads. I agree.. DJI systems have such a clean image but they are pricey.
Will the tbs crossfire nano receiver work ? For the head unit ?
Not really, the gimbal to move the camera has two servos which need servo connections to receiver which the Crossfire Nano does not have.
This looks so fun 🎉
Indeed it was!
Now you need a copilot based on gps giving you pace notes and you've got yourself a WRC-RC
That’s the idea! Great suggestion!
Question. I need to control multiple RC cars using one radio. How can I achieve this?
Ex: I need to drive one car to a location, park it. Then using that same radio, take control of a different car, while the first one remains parked, and drive that one somewhere. Then be able to switch back and forth, between the cars
Most Computer radios (transmitter) can be bind to different receivers in each car. So when you select a particular car in the transmitter, only that receiver would be under control. Works the same way in planes. Spektrum, FrSky all have this function. Futuba seems to be different, even if the wrong car is selected, both car would be under control at the same time.
Question: So I bought a Tally-ho, b.a.g gimbal, DJI FPV goggles, and the Radiolink RC6GS.
Followed the instructions and updated the tally ho firmware, dji goggles, and Radiolink. I know the tally-ho works because when I move it, the line changes in the program. And I know b.a.g. system works, too, as manual switches from the receiver can control it. But when linked together, the motion sensors don't work.
I have the following questions:
1) Do I need to program the tally-ho to use channel 5,6 instead?
2) Do I need to change any settings on the googles?
3) For DSC, there are two-way vs three-way. Which one is correct? Two ways?
Any help will be appreciated as I have spent a few hours and no luck.
1. Yes. Need to change pan & tilt output on Tally-ho HT to Ch. 5 & 6 and save settings. That’s what RC 6GS accepts for head-tracking as default.
2. No need to change setting on Goggles to get HT working. They are independent of each other except physically attached together. Though I suggest you change device output power to 700mW and turn auto temperature protection off to get max range.
3. Not sure what you mean between two & three way? Switch or connector?
See setup video for RadioLink : ruclips.net/video/0H5zo-yfWdw/видео.html
@@motionsic Figured out the issue. But need some help with firmware/settings updates. E-mail sent and hoping you can save this unit lol.
@@thelawfamilyproduction email replied. The HT arrives ready to use. Just need to change output to accommodate RC6GS, stop messing with it🙂
@Motionsic RC & FPV you are awesome my friend! It is working now. When I have the whole set ready for the RC car I will send you the link. Cheers.
Hey man, I love this video!
Would you mind sharing what that orange camera is? I've been having a hard time finding non-FPV very small cameras.
Thanks!

I just got my first set of fat shark goggles . Can you link me to this camera setup? I’d love to buy this cam and transmitter
Which Fatshark goggle do you have? If you want to use head-tracker, find Trinity head-tracker module for your goggles. The camera for this setup only works with DJI FPV goggles. You can get the gimbal and head-tracker here:

Yeah sure! Which ones are you thinking of?
@@motionsic Those jet fov team flyers?
Great idea! Thinking of doing this one one of my cars, but wondering what the surface radio setup is? I've seen the video for the IX12, but i'm wondering what you're doing for the crawlers here!
I used a air transmitter since I don’t normally use surface radios. But Radiolink has one RCG6S that can use the head-tracker, quite affordable, too:
www.amazon.com/Radiolink-Transmitter-Receiver-Crawler-Drifting/dp/B07DPNNTWT/ref=asc_df_B07DPNNTWT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507593790682&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16166407696070618192&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031532&hvtargid=pla-865252353059&psc=1
Actually the new rc car transmitters today can use the headtracking system
Really? Cool!
How?
What is the cheapest way to do this what do I need to get it we be mint for me and my m8 to raz round are local car park on a Sunday afternoon 🤘🤪🤘

Very nice!
I am more of a fpv drone enthusiast but this makes me want to buy a car and put one of my dji fpv units in it.
Which rc cars would you recommend that aren't too expensive and easy enough to fit the motionsic gimbal in it ?
Also does the head tracker work with the radiomaster zorro transmitter ?
This Redcat Wendigo fits the gimbal nicely, I think other rock crawler or rock racers in the 1/10 scale would work, too.
RadioMaster Zorro has a DSC port to connect with our head tracker (using trainer function), so it works!
Read this page: fpvdogfight.com/blogs/news/head-tracking-fpv-setup-on-rc-plane-or-car
@@motionsic Thanks for the quick response. The wendigo seems nice indeed, but I don't think there is any physical or online rc shop in France (where I live) proposing it.
What is the other blue car of your buddy in the video ? it also looks nice.
Where do you guys live? I'm moving there...
🙂Irvine, CA, very nice city indeed!
How hard is it to program everything? I have built and mod RC cars.
Oh and what remote and receiver did you use for the range?
No programming involves. Just basic setup on RC transmitter that allows head-tracking, like the RadioLink RC6GS V2: ruclips.net/video/0H5zo-yfWdw/видео.html
Amazing thank-you. Is there something with a higher range? I live in the city and my DJI mavic 3 starts to get low signal at 1.5km. But at the countryside it gets 8+km
Oh by the way I have a DX8 for my RC planes and jet. Would that work? The range should be good on that right?
@@thelawfamilyproduction great! The head-tracker works via the trainer/buddy box function of your RC transmitter. The HT is essentially treated as the student TX. Instead of assigning flight controls to the HT, only assign two channels controlling pan and tilt on the gimbal. That’s it! Here’s a video that shows how to setup the DX9 transmitter (should be similar to DX8): ruclips.net/video/2r62KTRXq7U/видео.html
I wonder how it would work on a gimbal, to reduce sideways shaking
great, I watched your video twice ahaha. I have the dji goggle 2 and I'm going to buy the dji air unit o3, but how do I get the gyro signal from the v2 helmet to transmit to the headtrack motors? which kit to buy? (robotic arm) need special cables? I will install on the traxxas UDR
We normally utilize trainer mode of air transmitters for head-tracker input. For surface transmitter, they need to have a DSC port (look like 3.5mm audio jack) to input head-tracker signal. Not sure if Traxxas transmitter has one. But RadioLink RC6GS & RC8X comes ready to accept head-tracker signal. Gimbal servos simply plug into 2 specified receiver channels.
@@motionsic merci beaucoup !!
Where can I buy one of these fully assembled?
With the car? Never. We are not RC car nor plane manufacturers. Just providing simple kits that RC enthusiasts can install themselves.
@@motionsic can you please link me to a video that teaches me how to install the 360 camera, and how to connect it to my cockpit, with a list of what I need?
Is there a way to make the servos on the head tracking system become a left / right & forward / reverse for the truck instead & you mount the camera like regular ? My 13 year old nephew had been paralyzed for a year now & I want to get him to have control of RC car / drone possibly. I know the drone would only be head tracking for camera & I could fly it for him . He has a wheel chair that he controls with his head & he’s nimble with it so that gave me the idea . I used to build FPV drones for years before his accident I used to chase him on his dirt bikes while flying drones . He was a 1st place champion btw on dirtbikes in his local racing organization the kid is a winner at every hobby .I just want to give him a sense of freedom & control with the FPV world of drones / cars / planes 🫡
Yes. Head-tracker output (ppm) can be mapped to any output channel with RC transmitter that has that capability. Like a Radiomaster MT12:
www.getfpv.com/radiomaster-mt12-surface-radio-controller-w-er3c-i-receiver-elrs-2-4ghz.html
Or other flight radios that has trainer mode which recognize head-tracker input as student input.
Hey what size of rc car? Do you think that it fits to 1/12 size rc cars?
It’s a Redcat Wendigo 1:10 Rock Racer. So 1/12 should still work. The gimbal needs a a flat plate to secure the base on. I hot glued a piece of plywood on the body shell for the gimbal to anchor on.
Nice
Hey, what are you using to cool the HD FPV AIR UNIT KIT?
Nothing, I just keep the car moving. Not the best. A CPU fan would be better.
What’s the range with the headset, 1-2 miles?
2.5 miles or 4 km according to DJI (no obstruction). I have not tested it. But I know on the ground, I usually loose RC signal before losing video signal.

Will do!
I wonder if this would work with a 360 camera so you don't have to worry about the camera having to move around
thanks Robert. I´ll do the same
