915MHz and 2.4GHZ don't work together

#

I don't have to confirm that everything works together well, but youll need props, a few more lipos, goggle batteries, antennas for the vtx

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:28 AM

#

what are good goggles for my setup

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:29 AM

#

Also don’t start in a 7”

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:31 AM

#

why

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:31 AM

#

Motors are fine you want the 1800kv
Use a TBS source one, GepRC mark 5 or VX5
If analog, EV800D, cobra X
Zeus tank VTX
Rattle 2 cams are good
Radio is fine
RadioMaster RP1 ELRS
6s CNHL/tattu/dogcom 1300mah ish

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:32 AM

#

leaden saffron why

They are huge

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:32 AM

#

its better 5 inch?

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:32 AM

#

And quite dangerous if not used properly

I’ve been doing this 9 months and won’t even consider a 7” for another 3 months

Unless ur mountain flying a 5” or even 3.5” is far better

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:33 AM

#

leaden saffron its better 5 inch?

No just longer flight time, but can’t be flown in parks cause they are huge and dangerous

#

So only good for mountain crusing/cinematic

If you are starting with a 5” you need to get the radio first

learn A LOT in the sim, before even considering one

They are flying lawnmowers

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:34 AM

#

yea but i m kinde ona buget off 500$

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:34 AM

#

But that should do you when you’ve got sim time in

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:34 AM

#

leaden saffron yea but i m kinde ona buget off 500$

That’s fine for an analog 5“ setup

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

yea i pratice in a sim with ps4 controler

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

strange jackal But that should do you when you’ve got sim time in

Pinecil soldering iron and a Hota D6 pro or M6D

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

leaden saffron yea i pratice in a sim with ps4 controler

Do it with ur actual radio

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

i have soldering station\

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

Order the radio first, practice for a month or so, then come back to this

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:35 AM

#

leaden saffron i have soldering station\

What is it cause you need a good one 🙂

#

Needs temp control and atleast the ability to go to 400*C

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:37 AM

#

i do elektronic and programing, and it have 550*c

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:37 AM

#

Sick

#

Yes do get ur radio ordered, get a good amount of time
In on it on the sim, need to be very confident

Then look at this build 🙂

#

I flew whoops for 6 months before getting a 5”

#

Well ish

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:38 AM

#

ok thx you i m kinde new to fpv world

#

but i dont understand the vtx part of the fpv drone

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:39 AM

#

leaden saffron ok thx you i m kinde new to fpv world

Yea Nws, or look at building a 65-75mm whoop

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:40 AM

#

leaden saffron but i dont understand the vtx part of the fpv drone

Literally just takes cameras video throws that video signal out and your goggles receiver catchs it

That’s the easiest way to understand it

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:40 AM

#

but can any goggles catch the signal of any camera

#

for fpv ofc

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:41 AM

#

leaden saffron but can any goggles catch the signal of any camera

That’s what channels are for

#

But yes you can

Like if my mate is flying he goes on channel 4 I’ll go on 6 so we don’t cross over

#

For analog at least

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:41 AM

#

this is soo confusing

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:42 AM

#

leaden saffron this is soo confusing

You set a VTX to a channel, you set your goggles to a channel

The goggles will only see the channel you set them to

#

So drone on channel 6 goggles set to see channel 6

You see ur quads video feed 🙂

marble stratus Nov 12, 2024, 9:42 AM

#

channel is like train rail, footage is the train

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:42 AM

#

aha i understand now

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:43 AM

#

If you want to just want to hop into this straight away build a whoop

subtle moat Nov 12, 2024, 9:43 AM

#

strange jackal Order the radio first, practice for a month or so, then come back to this

i got drl and just did a bunch of racing and now i find my self just doing laps around a parking lot instead of any fpv

marble stratus Nov 12, 2024, 9:43 AM

#

or you experiance analog tv then it will easier to understand

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:43 AM

#

but i m on buget of 500$

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:43 AM

#

#

Can smash these things into TVs

#

$100 a build, then save up for 5” in a while

Just options 🙂

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:44 AM

#

can you give me a list for the parts?

subtle moat Nov 12, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

for a whoop or 5 inch

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

whoop

subtle moat Nov 12, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

you can buy prebuilt or build ur own

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

i want to bulid my own

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:46 AM

#

That one in the photo is

BetaFPV cross f4 AIO
Any nano VTX, that’s a foxeer reaper
Cam is a caddex ant but there are many other ones
BetaFPV 0702 27,000kv
Air65 frame

#

My 75mm is

Happymodel X12 AIO
RC in power 0802 27,000kv
Fxb cam
Mob 7 v4 frame

#

Whoops use AIOs where the ELRS, FC and ESC are all in one board, sometimes the VTX as well, like in my 75mm

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

strange jackal My 75mm is Happymodel X12 AIO RC in power 0802 27,000kv Fxb cam Mob 7 v4 frame

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

They are packs with terrible parts

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:52 AM

#

its like 350$

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:52 AM

#

You will get a lot more for your money if you build one of the two i said,

A whoopstor charger
Some 1s lipos 300mah for the 65 and 450 for the 75
Ev800/cobra X
RadioMaster pocket

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:52 AM

#

leaden saffron its like 350$

Yea this build and all your gear will cost that and you can use it in 5” later

#

You can’t use that gear later on

leaden saffron Nov 12, 2024, 9:53 AM

#

BETAFPV Meteor75 Brushless Whoop Quadcopter

#

this one?

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:53 AM

strange jackal Nov 12, 2024, 9:54 AM

You’ll get a bit more more performance outta a build

#

But if you wanna buy something air 75

RadioMaster pocket
Ev800D but do try to stretch the the cobra x they are much better
Whoopstor 1s charger
Some dogcom 450s

marble stratus Nov 12, 2024, 9:57 AM
