Yes, the V1 and the V2 work perfectly fine inside the discus frame. The only 3D parts that you'll really need is the camera mount. The bumpers are nice too. They're all on my thingy verse. If you search Toronto FPV you should be able to find my files. Let me know if you have any other questions

@@migueld2456 are Crux35 is a Great choice. I'm also offering do-it-yourself kits for $250 with the premium build that I did yesterday in the live stream or 350. If I billed it for you, I sell the Crux 35 for $160 and you can add on one of my discus frames. Just look at the website and see which one you would want to choose but the premium t700 one is pretty nice so you could order a Crux 35 with that frame and transfer everything over yourself or for an additional $100.

I like that frame and may grab one after I run out of Crux35 frames. I'm still looking for a light 3.5" frame for my 03 air unit that keeps props out of view and a top mounted battery.. I modified one of my Crux35s with the tpu nose of a rekon5 and it keeps props low. If I use stabilization it almost completely eliminates them. I just did some more cutting on the nose to allow more camera tilt and I'll see how that flies. Unfortunately, I had to drop to 3" props to do all of this, and want to get back to 3.5".
If you build it as a pusher you can do this you'll just need some custom prints I haven't designed yet. Something similar to this though ruclips.net/video/H0a28HR4tLQ/видео.html I'll be constantly updating the frame with accessories to do more. Right now I'm on a mob8 03 when I kill it ill start making a 03 Discus and an 03 pusher prop free version
@@TorontoFPV I have a Pavo Pico for close cinematic, but want basically a mini 5" without the props in view, and would prefer it not be a pusher. I like the looks of the Babyhawk 03, and most of the frame is the Babyhawk II, but certain parts still aren't available pertaining to mounting the air unit. I'll keep an eye on your channel to see what you come up with. Thanks
@kurtzFPV honestly you'll love my 03 version with props in view then. For performance you can't beat a true X with a little prop in view. To get props out of view you end up with a worse balanced frame. Personally balance n performance trumps view or I'd make a dead cat. Maybe one day lol. A naked thumb pro on top works well also. But we shall see. Still lots of building on the way
Well done for going with stronger arms on your Discus design. Flimsy arms don't feel as good in the air as strong arms. One can easily see the difference in your comparative flight footage.
Day and night I've had bout 3 friends try the discus that usually fly 5 inch and I'm making them believers! It's solid! can still break an arm but the flight characteristics are sexy
Have you got any custom design for the cammera mount? I'v just seen the one from AvionRC here ruclips.net/video/aiw65D40uN0/видео.html and think this type of design would really help the cam durability on the Discuss. Especially when trying to use the nano90 cam.
Ill make a mount for the nano90 most likely eventually but if you wanted it faster go into hdzero or 3d printing forums or brain3d and lots of people be happy to probly help you out sooner.
@@TorontoFPV Sorry to say I don't have the skills to design a propper cam mount. Discuss can wait on the bench for a while before getting finished. I'll try to get into the forums.
@miquelmarti6537 I'll make a mount for you eventually. What angle do you fly at and what is the lens distance in mm I have the dementions of the camera but not the lens itt's proply around 8-12mm please measure it and let me know as well as the distance of its barrel. so example its 10mm wide and that 10mm wide sticks out 4mm so I can make the right sized barrel for it..
@@TorontoFPV waw, thank you, just do it if you find the time. I usually fly at 30º but adjustable angle is a big plus. Do you think it would be feasible to squeeze something like the top message's example into the Discuss? I don't mind if it's for the nano90 or the whoop cam, as I ended geting the second one due to space concerns.
Ok I'll get the whoop one done as I have one of those. The Discus is meant to be tight as possible with nano cams so something like above the props would hit unless you switched to 3 inch props which is doable but it's specifically built to be as tight as possible which is it's strength and flaw. When you build so tight there's less room but also way less chance of hitting your camera cause it's tucked in there ;) @@miquelmarti6537
You would get better analog signal on A1 also take you antennas off you will get less interference . At 400mw you can fly roughly 400m clear picture no antenna .
@@TorontoFPV from what I have learned it’s not so much the A but the channel 1 that can give you the most output power . Not all vtx but a lot don’t always put out full power on all channels . You can test it for yourself . I find true rc antenna are great on the right frequency they will shine better . They are all tuned . I find that anything around the 5800 works best for me .
@@Loophole120 yes R1 usually has more output but then R8 frequency is above WiFi. Usually high RF environments can be better with a weaker signal cause it bounces less or when your racing and everyones signal is blasting then we take the antennas off :)
