DJI Digital FPV on a 3-inch Babytooth Drone! Cool!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- I call it my "Digitooth"! This 2S Babytooth has a stripped down Caddx Vista and it weighs just 59 grams + battery. It is my lightest and quietest drone with the DJI Digital FPV system. It's super fun! Build info below (click "Show More")...

I’m definitely interested in seeing a full sized DJI naked camera in there.
Great stuff buddy!
You should check out the AirbladeUAV Ex frame
Absolutely awesome! Maybe the most tragic thing about this is how awful the Nano Nebula is. Is that the V2 firmware at least? If not, lemme send you a V2 cam just to help your eyes not bleed.
The camera was given to me previously so I don't know 100% for certain, but I believe it is already a V2 Nebula Nano. At any rate, it is less bad than the Nebula Nano (v1) that I pre-ordered. I included a sample of that footage later in the video. Do you think V2 should look better than what I'm showing here?
@@MrShutterBug nah this does look like v2. It’s not a major improvement over v1, just slightly less overblown hdr effect.
@@MrShutterBug I haven't used a V2 myself. They're awful in general. We can't even give them away. I'm about to reconfigure the nano nebula kits into nebula pro + vista kits but I dunno what to do with the V2 nano's. We might throw them on the site for $5 ea or something.
There is a V3 now that actually looks very good. See nick burns video about the dji comparison video.
@@wiebel1991 hah, I missed that one. Thanks.
You asked for opinions on the Shark Byte. I have three toothpick builds that differ only in the video system. One with naked Vista at 200mW, one with a tiny 400mW Eachine analog VTx, and one with the Shark Byte at 200mW. The Vista and analog quads fly around the outside of my house fine. The Shark Byte video disintegrates into unflyable snow as soon as I go behind the house. I'm going to replace the board with a Vista.
That's a good data point. Bummer that it didn't penetrate through the house as well. :-(
I watched this vid 2 years ago wishing i could upgrade from analog and now im finally a dji digital owner with multiple quads and im circling back around to see these aginnand maybe even build my own finally haha
Nice! I’d be willing to sell this one. I still have it and it is in the same condition. I just have too many builds to fly them all. Make me an offer if you’re interested.
This is pretty cool - looks like the first build in this size that does not seem to handle like a school bus.
How about the Geprc phantom hd?
@@yuvalyosef I would not consider them to be in the same class. This one weighs as much with battery as the Phantom without ;-) Not saying that the phantom isn't a good copter. For me it is important to be able to fly as many copters as I can on the same type of battery, this way I don't need to bring so many quads to a session - I always bring 2 - sometimes 3 quads per battery type. My main batteries are 2S 450mAh. The phantom is 4S, so i would at least need another copter that takes 4S, otherwise I am running the risk of having a bunch of 4S batteries that I have to discharge at home, because I crashed my only quad that I can use them on.
@@stylesuxx Actually the sweet spot of the phantom for optimal agility is a 450 3s but I still get your point
Well, that just cost me another full cart at Racedayquads.....nice flight! Thanks for always pushing the limits on innovation!
Beautiful build. I love the DJI FPV system but I'm too much of a noob to take it to this level.
Mine is 58g thanks to using DJI radio and I can confirm it’s the best thing ever 🙂
Oh and I’m using 1303 Amaxinno motors (the new-ish silver ones with a screw in the bottom) so I could get almost 2g off with these new motors 🤔
What did you do about the camera? Which one?
@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid currently running Nebula Nano v2 like Mr.S. but working on a Nebula Pro canopy that will hopefully keep me under 59g. Now with these new motors it’s gonna be even lighter 🤩
@@FilipRadelic awesome thanks, guess I am gonna wait until I find a better fitting canopy but WANT WANT WANT because this looks like and awesome build and quad to fly around my backyard
@@RobertTheFriscoSchmid I’ll publish my Nebula Pro canopy stl when it’s done, hopefully this weekend. Will reply with a link. And yeah, definitely can recommend a build like this!
It’s unrelated, but I am amused by the subtitles reading [music][applause][music][applause] during the flight track.
That said, I’m excited about the build!
Thank you! I think this is exactly what I want to build next. I have a bunch of 2S batteries I haven't used in a while, and I mostly fly DJI FPV systems. i would love to see any variations you do of this.
Mr Shutterbug, I am having a blast with this build - so much I leave my 4" ,5" and 7" quads at home! I decided to build another with the Nebula Pro camera and I added the motor wire LEDs. By the way the toothbrush does an amazing job of removing the blue goo!
what canopy are you using for the nebula pro ?
@@C_Scalese Haven't completely sorted it out yet. For now I have trimmed the interior standoffs off the Twig canopy and stuffed the camera up inside. Then wrestled two short screws in the camera. Tight fit and increases the camera angle and leaves the lens exposed - not ideal but it is in there.
@@rocketrob3324 think that's what i'm going to do. thanks!
Great work! I'd love a digital indoor cinewhoop though, we need a single board vista!
I love this build! Your enthusiasm comes through in your voice - Great Video!
Awesome build, been waiting for something this size and DJI! Wish the Nebula Pro would fit into the canopy!
i built this was a nebula pro. Most 19x19 canopies will work, i printed one from thingiverse, the camera looks way better, i think it's worth the ~6 gram weight diff
With a small mod the Pro will fit, I built one last night with the same Racer-X canopy. I had to cut the nubs off the inside to make room and gently stretched the hole for the lens just a touch. I moved the mini mortal to the back slots and it all works.
Oh and save the nubs you cut out of the inside of the canopy and move them to the outside to use as washers/grip to keep the camera on place when you screw it in
Man, I've watched this video like 50 times. I really want to build one of these.
Here we go. Gonna try and cram a vista in my tp3 now
Haven't even received my goggles yet and already planning 🤔 lol
Looks so close to the tinyhawk race. Man I wanna go digital now 🤩👍🏼
Its really cool how light you can get builds like this . Don't get me wrong , luv ripping my 6s 700g freestyle rig. But you can have so much fun in such a little space with these light small builds . Find myself flying my small stuff more and more now. Thanks for sharing 👍
Yeah, same here! I find myself flying the little drones more often because I don't have to go far from home to have interesting obstacles. Cheers!
Wow! Would love to see more! Decase that original dji camera, its soo much better. Thanks for the great vids!
What a beautiful toothpick 😍
Sweet build. I do have Shark Byte, and was already thinking about it before you mentioned it. I already have the whoop board in a Mutant build.
How do you like it? I'm very tempted to get Shark Byte because latency is very important to me. The DJI system is good, but I do feel more connected to the drone when I fly analog, despite the static and stuff. Or maybe it's just because my DJI drones are heavier and thus they aren't quite as responsive. Hard to tell, but anything that can reduce that weight is interesting to me.
@@MrShutterBug Love it. I’ve never flown DJI before, but the image is at least comparable to the Nebula Nano V2 on your Babytooth. The reception is very dependent on the quality of antennas. I have several videos on my channel. Check them out if you want. I agree 1000% about the analog style breakup and form factor/ weight benefits. I fly mostly micros also.
Awesome build! Risking another flight around that tree though huh? You madman!
I dont know why dont find your channel before! Instant subscribe. Amazing great job! We have de worst drone regulations in europe, need lot of licenses, permissions and lot of hard to acomplish certificates what the manufacturers usually dont have yet. The free flying is allowed up to 120g(with battery) without record device on board. So fpv with live transmission is ok. It would be help me a lot!
super cool :) thats the future, quite, small, digital great build!!
Video was gorgeous
I can't thank you enough for this video!
I was looking for an alternative for my 85mm Digital Whoop which I built for IGOW, but need a little more performance
nice build! You can save another grame or so by going with a linear whip antenna. You wont notice much of a difference flying proximity with DJI.
Wow! Your flight footage looks so good.
Flywoo robo 1202.5 11,500kv on 2s 2.5 inch is the way to go🤟🏾
Nice build and flight
That's a really cool video. Thank you for watching until the end.😀
Amazing footage. Iwould have loved to see a longer clip of steady lines like you did along the path, then go low across the grass and through the trees up above to the skyline following a smooth line, really giving the impression of a larger quad, then turn around and close proximity through the trees on the way back. There were times I would swear that I was watching a 4" 👍👍👍
First mass production of this will put me over the edge and finally buy the DJI goggles. I only fly small toothpicks now.
2y later, I've recreated this on a savage bee frame with 1103 8000kV geprc411 12A getting about 7min flights on a 550mAh 90c 2s
Great idea, and so much fun.
I’m 100% with you on loving these super light quiet builds! I am building a very similar thing but I’m waiting for the shark byte vtx to be available! Thanks for sharing! Always love your content 😎 now I want to try these new motors!
Haven't got the chance to try dji yet hopefully one day for now sticking to analog
Great little drone well done👍👍👍
Love my toothpick, but can’t afford to DJI it yet, busy trying to eat. Lol. Really like watching your vids! Much information
Amazing, thank u for actually doing it (I suggested something similar some time ago)
You and many others :-)
Another very epic job on the build& flight Nate!
just bought new Mobula 7, and here i am learning all this term.
Hi Nate Great job on getting the system to fit. Great flying babytooth, Thanks for the video.
Great build. Curious to see the bitefrostTooth one.
Ok, IFlight or Gemfan, lets see you match this great build!
awesome build!! Definitely my next dream build!, Any reason you picked the 1302 vs the tp3 1303 motors on 3s?
I wanted it to be as light and quiet as possible, and I think 2S is plenty. 2S batteries also tend to be lighter than the equivalent 3S batteries. I have a 4-inch DJI drone that is super powerful, but it is too dangerous and noisy to fly in my backyard and neighborhood. That's where the light Babytooth platform opens up opportunities for me. If I build it like a TP3, then I'm sure it would fly great, but it would be less unique for me. Good question!
WOW! Be still my heart! I am truly amazed!
Cool build! Only suggestion is look into loctite thread locking compounds for these expedient standoffs. Make it more rigid, even? 🤷🏼♀️
Great build, I really want to get involved with the little baby toothpicks as well. They look so fun to fly. I found in my FPV career, the R Line Lipos give the most raw full power. Once they get below their nominal voltage though they will sag hard on you, but its full power till the last second. I found the GNB lipos like cruising more. The r-line packs are also very light and small in comparison to their Mah rating. Best part about the Tattu range for me has been the durability. Only lipos that survive my crashes.
Man I wish I could build something that good and small!
Damn would love to be able to build one in the EU.
The Xfire through the canopy and the pagoda on the back make the build look so neat
I’d build one myself, but after the mob lite became an official product, I might wait for happymodel to come out with one lol
Several people have asked for the ESC/Betaflight firmware setup, so I wrote it up in a doc with screenshots:
bit.ly/3cxhpgz
I didn't do much to the Betaflight tune but I did tweak some of the ESC settings to help the relatively small motors deal with the prop load. If you're having trouble, especially at very high or very low throttle, then you might want to try these settings. Let me know what you think, or what other settings you would suggest. Thanks!
if you click on the link, you would get " access denied" " you need access " " ask for access " and can't go on from there. i don't know what i need to do to get " access "
@@matthew04101 sorry about that. Try it again. The permissions should be right now.
@@MrShutterBug sorry to bother you again. but there is no PID in that document, but just rates.
@@matthew04101 because they are stock betaflight 4.2.6 PIDs. I did not change them, but people have asked for my exact setup, so there it is (minus receiver and aux settings, which people should customize). The only important settings are in the ESC firmware.
I haven't even built my babytooth yet, I don't know that I will after seeing this lol I think 59g is about the weight sub250gfpv landed on with his 2.5" geprc phantom! Naked DJI cam is definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
Such a clean build kudos
Slick! That Nebula is tragic though... You say Nebula Pro is larger? I hope you'll figure it out - either the N Pro or the naked Air camera - I look forward to copying the final build! 🙂
Mine is 62g + battery with the 3mm frame. The Nebula Nano camera fits in the beebrain v2 canopy - you have to unscrew the lens, shove it in the canopy then screw back in the lens for a tight fit. I have the ExpressLRS happymodel pp rx so no antenna mounting issues. Using the rcINpower 1205+ 6000kv motors becayse Straya! I will pop a video up on my channel on the weekend for you
New subscriber sir! This little bug is awesome!
Use isopropyl alcohol 99% to remove the blue goo, and you should be able to make it look like nothing was ever present. It is better to remove all the thermal compound if you are removing the heat sink. Better heat dissipation. This process of cleaning is safe for electronic components. I have used it to clean my processor and MB components on my PC.
it look pretty
this looks amazing.
Just recently abandoned my analog stuff and had to give my beloved toothpick away:( This looks really interesting!!!
I still fly analog a lot because I fly so many micros. It's cool to see digital getting smaller and lighter though. Perhaps more of my micros will be digital in the future, assuming the trend continues.
Sweet
incredible flying!
was waiting for that one :D nice please show us how to do naked vista camera :) as vid. quality is still better there
Awesome little monster.
I've just ordered a Phantom HD with amax 1303 motors. I wonder if I can use just the bottom plate and mount the battery on the bottom to get closer to this weight.
I've also ordered it with a nebula nano, but I'm considering decasing a DJI camera and attaching some nuts to the side to fit 14mm mounts.
I've only seen a couple of people decase the DJI camera like that, it would be cool to see a video of you doing it.
Insane! Wow, congrats!!!!
I might try to convert a Crux3 to digital, since it is hard to get fpvcycle parts to Germany. It should be fairly similar to your build
Nice clip, thanks.
Would like to see this build with Vista/nebular pro!
That was really impressive!
This is the nano Holy Grail for FPV. Too bad the image quality still falls short. Would love to see a naked DJI camera or Nano Pro (naked?) as well.👍
Great video, as usual! To lower the center of gravity, and maybe loose a gram, try the "marsupio" camera mount in thingiverse. (If dji made a video receiver module for analog goggles, then I would think about it.)
Amazing work!
Do you mind sharing the CLI Dump since I am building the exact same atm. Would like your thoughts on the tune etc. Thank you for the great content always, this is where FPV should be at especially during this time when some of us cant fly in usual spots due to restrictions on 5" quads, this is perfect balance of video quality + low noise + flight time + low risk due to weight.
All the details here: docs.google.com/document/d/1oTQQYNE2dsNC-Za0_hph7ISkkaHth3TWOjrez7Upg8k/edit?usp=sharing
@@MrShutterBug Thank you this is so useful I am sure it will help many of us building this quad.
Great stuff. Seen these in the group and wondered how to do it. Would definitely prefer a naked DJI cam or the Nebula Nano Pro. Would love to know what canopies work with those set ups. Cheers!
dude if it was not that camera it would be perfect!
Pretty awesome... been waiting to get some of those motors.. they seep to sell out fast.. Also where do you live.. Looks like the PNW..
It is! I live in the greater Seattle area. :-)
@@MrShutterBug I knew it... :) I am across the water in Kitsap County..
Great!
wow thats beautiful..
The motors seems to be 1s only... But looks very interesting
This is the way
Outstanding.
Impressive build , I can imagine the shark byte system, it would be interesting!!! Thank you. Do you have build video? How much min flight?
yes, someone please do a build video!
I built one those with a nebula pro instead of the nano. I love the flight characteristics and the video quality. Would recommend. Thank you so much for the build guide
Which canapoy did you use to accept the nebula pro?
Amazing lookin quad and build.I say Definitely try the naked DJI cam. I could live with a gram of weight. A little inertia to toss around👍🏼
Use the nebula pro. Its an perfect cam as good as the original dji cam!
Rebuild with a Nebula Pro or decased DJI camera... and fly in low latency mode...
Impressive!!! :)
Moore's law states that the digital is the future of the FPV industry. Fix that latency issue and lower the costs and you'll be good to go!
Actually Moore’s law has to do with transistors in a microprocessor. Still I don’t doubt that digital can take over if it gets cheap enough, fast enough, and also light enough. It would take a big step for digital to replace analog in 1S whoops, however. They will probably be the last holdout. An analog whoop FPV system can be less than 2 grams including cam, wires, vtx, and antenna.
Digital, be it DJI or SB isn't actually that expensive if you count everything you get.
Great picture quality, a 720p DVR, and in DJIs case a RX for as little as $100 with Cam, vtx and antenna? How is that expensive?
Analog cam 15-45, crossfire rx 25, eachine nano vtx 15, antenna say 10, hd DVR IDK 25 or more. Add that up. I have a 1s 65mm dji whoop. Sure it's fat and slow but it flies, good for cruising in doors.
Lower latency? Use hdzero. The systems like dji and walksnail aren't designed around lower latency so you'll never get close to hdzero with them. They prioritize picture quality which can cause variable latency. Nothing wrong with that. If you want low latency, you're gonna have breakup like hdzero or analog.
Fantastic build. Fast, nimble and quiet.
What's better T-Motor F1303 5000KV or Flywoo ROBO RB 1204 8150KV?
Either of those motors should work fine. The 5000kv motor would need a 3S battery. The other would be better on 2S.
That's at RHMS. Good spot 👍
I was alright... looks ok...
youtube had me on 360p..
hit the gear and... damnnnnn
I need that in my life.
all about the smallest DJI build.
can't wait for my v2 goggles to show up.
Excellent video and production. Wondered if you use a GSheet on the weight breakdown? If so, I'd be really interested in a link to see where the grammes hide... I've been doing it for my builds recently and find the data & charts really help me focus on where to skinny it down.
Music reminded me of joe satriani- surfing with the alien album.
Never seen moss grow on asphalt like that. I have seen where there is maybe a layer of dirt an inch thick and some grows but nothing so evenly distributed. After looking this up I see "moss season" is a thing in WA. Weird.
Haha! The ground is wet most of the year. Moss is definitely a thing.
Amazing! 🔥
Wow, amazing footage! As a complete NOOB here, what is the basic cost of all the kit (drone, controller, goggles) involved please?
Hi Mr. Shutterbug,
I wanted to know if you have found an STL file or a link for a similar canopy that holds a Nebula Pro? Last question how did you arrange your stack in terms of dampeners, nuts or o rings? Thanks for your help and build! Much appreciated!
I have not tried it yet, but here's a canopy I found that should work: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4784098
Nice build 👍 What about the nebula pro cam, that looks pretty good from what I’ve seen online so far.
Yeah, the quality would be a lot better but the Nebula Pro is a larger canopy. It would need a different canopy. I might do that in the future, or maybe use a naked DJI cam. Choices...
Wow Mr. S, you have perfected another one. What do you think would happen if you put ultra light prop-guards on this guy. Light/quiet indoor/outdoor explorer drone. Would the extra weight kill the performance? I love flying around the neighborhood with small, light, quiet quads but would like the guards to allow for indoor and canopy exploration flying. Thoughts?
I don’t think guards light enough not to ruin it exist, especially at 3”. I’ve got a 38g 75mm 2s whoop with naked Vista for that and it’s definitely worth having a different tool for a different job 🙂
