#Wholesome New First Drone Build
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
So
ok so like
What happened to including everything you’ve already decided on
something thats not super slow
I live in ireland
something thats black and looks tuff (not pink shit)
fast acceleration would be cool
compatible with dji goggles 3
Uhhh
what else do you need
Ok yknow what we can start from the beginning
I dont really care about the range as long as i dont lose signal after like 200 meters
The first thing we need to do is figure out ground gear
You already bought the goggles 3 so that’s in stone
The next step is for you to pick what radio you want, and I’ve already told you a few recommendations
does Radio = Controller
Yes
!fpvstores
For future reference^
drone fpv racer suits best
Nice
cuz they ship to ireland
What’s your overall budget again?
well like its not here yet but yea
Like can you lay it out for me
price table
What
In order to build with Dji you need atleast 800 in total for everything including ground gear
and this is like a pretty decent drone
Maaaybe less
Sure
top speed?
Oh you need soldering gear
and color?
my dad has that shit

It cannot possibly be that hard to read
You need a radio, one of the ones I recommended + a lipo or 18650s
No that’s your job
But i dont know which one like you're the knowledgeable one for this build
I genuinely will not give you a bad option in my mind
Do your own research between the ones I listed
Sure
i dont fucking know man
Now you need the lipo
what is a lipo
I’d make a spreadsheet to keep track of everything
Battery type
for the RC?
Man im gonna break my monitor. I swear
Listen dude
The radiomaster one
The one they make for the tx15
I have some faith in you
Yeah but its out of stock
This is a hard hobby and you need to be able to do stuff independently
I’m like 90% sure that doesn’t fit the tx15 well
Also could just get two 18650s
A size of battery ^
yeah
Hi jahn
so what can I do here to satisfy this newcomer
Those are good
The tx15 will have a tray in the back you can put them in
USB port
ok
Ok now the fun part
Yeah no
I have no idea where that shit is
my dads like an electrician and carpenter would he have that stuff?
mayeb?
yes?
Didn’t you just say he actively has it
buy 63/37 NO CLEAN rosin core solder
I meant he probably might have it. If not I can buy it
But
But
in the case he doesnt
Along with the pinecel v2
what do i buy
If only someone told you
Can i buy that on drone fpv racer
Prooobably get something from a good brand
Alrighty I’m gonna go sleep
Good luck jahn
Jahn can you help
okay jahn, lets see what you got
Wait we chose a radio too
and the radio battery
18650
see I can remember shit
the radiomaster TX15 and the VTC5A 18650 yes?
what drone are you looking for as I volunteer
Yeah man i have no idea
i think he said a 5 inch?
😭
wont that litteraly disintegrate when a molecule of wind blows against it
-# I said 3.5 btw I do not have faith in his soldering for a 2.5
Am I an idiot?
I’m being slandered
hey! no bullying
This is too fun I’m staying for a second
No, your thinking of wheelbase
So how long is the drone
that looks like 5
6.3inch wheelbase, 55mm deck(the top platform) and like 5.2 between props
(I used my finger, I’m not getting a ruler)
Jahn wont accept my friend request either. Guess its strictly buisness only with you guys
ok
So what about the motors
and the props
and the battery
We are getting there it’s ok
am I getting ahead of myself
Yes
ok
I am too slow to type useful info
Yes, it is fast
We just had a conversation about this
We are trying to pick a size for you
I am not trying, I am!
OK so I can get that and have good quality footage with the o4 pro
😁😁😁
The first two numbers are motor size in width, so 11 is 11mm wide, and the second are motor bell size in height, so 3mm
I wouldn’t go bigger then 12xx in a km
04 lite is plenty good
The kayoumini has an amazing frame guide on its sites
Where is lite?
Like it tells you everything
Just the non pro
that IS expensive!
Go pick parts based off the guide where the km is sold and come back with a full build
Aliexpress time?
No he’s doing an analog joke
yeah

Do this
How the hell did this thread get 230 messages in 30 mins
Because its striclty buisness
We talk about money, and the movement of money
ok jahn, I think im ready
Shazam
I'd like to get o4 pro for that price lol thats like 50% off
No I'm always here
Those batteries are too big, and the antenna is heavy. I’d look at a different reciver aswell maybe
@echo tangle whats my range and height
Kit does need to learn some things
far enough
And 100m for height
The singularity is not heavy, it's tiny AF
It’s a 2.5
and is my recordings going to look like that poop
i hope the o4 lite isnt that bad
Can you fuck off
Don’t insult hdzero like that


It does 4k60 I believe but the high frame rate modes like 100fps don't think the lite does
Why is he comparing it to the potato?
Now this is analog Skateboard #fpv #fpvdrone

Yes your o4 lite will be better quality btw
The first clip I sent is considered to be decent
Me when I look at upload date
you neglected me when you didnt except my friend request
jahn did
I don’t accept anyone’s 
whats wrong with pink???
Slowfood asking the real questions
you accepted the fpv huzz
Who
just want black is that too much to ask
No
i like black
But pink is cool
I have finished here, follow the guide and copy the betaflight settings 1:1

the lottie person, shes actually really nice she helped me with instagram compression
Holy crap
Lottie literally has a boyfriend
And is 5 years older then me
And a cool person most of the time
we're getting sidetracked
pink is tuff
jahn is a machine
Yeah no
thank you, bye
id rather black
Just use the 04 lite antenna
You guys should just go to VC at this point lol
No dont go jahn,
Ly
Buisness isnt finished
I’d go but I don’t wanna leave you with catboy
How old are you again
That cannot be that big of a deal
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime
Not old enough lol
Thank you jahn
Because then i cant lose you in the deep ocean of this server if i ever click off it
No wrench 
Or until he's tired of fish
and you'll be in my friends list
Are you unemployed
Yes
Proud of you
European confirmed
because i want to begin my fpv journey
Ok wait I do want to get this finished
british people are NOT european
im not british
They all a peein
fyi
good
Ok
@echo tangle
Lock in?
????????!!!!!!?!?
Yo no queirro
why cant we just build a 5 inch with the o4 pro
Oof not even getting the flywoo o4 lite shout did him dirty

You can for more $$$$
And also endangering yourself and others
I’m checking out idc anymore
Go catboy misinformation go!
I'm not reading 230 msgs to figure out where he's flying, obviously if it's in a city he should go smol drone
i live in the middle of nowhere
have you ever flown an fpv quad
Yeah
in manual?
Yeah
can you fly like entire flights in manual
also did you get a proper radio yet
Yes bro im not a total noob one sec
its so stabilized i cant tell how you are flying
Yes!
can you send a clip of you like freestyling in a simulator
Dji FPV guy
I think where you live is better for it
50/50
1 sec
Bro
i have loads of footage
I also suggest 3.5 or maybe 4" with the new Volador frame but 3.5 has more prop options
but like
its all on my pc
im in bed
and this was my first flight with the gopro mounted so i was playing it safe bro
Dji fpv uses v2 goggles right? So you need new ones to use o4

what
man
man i dont think you understand. i didnt spend 1000 on this
it was like 500, which is worth it for a free avata
i just need the goggles
brah
they were on like a 40% sale or sum
Dji is good though
it is
Guys. Stop
its not like hes racing
Pretend the avata is not there
Just because your not a convert yet doesn't mean we won't convert you jahn
Hdzero is better
If hdzero is better just fly analog
Don't we all feel like that?
If he wants to live in the 1980's so be it
Latency isn't king for me anymore after trying dji, the avg fpv pilot won't notice the difference, only place you need it is in high level racing
im not racing tho
😭
Why does it matter if you can’t tell
COME ON guys these are 600€ goggles
Then there's no reason to run hdzero or analog
Im baised towards deadcats so no comment here
Didn’t we decide on the km
Honestly if your considering 3.5 just go 5
flies worse, is less durable and i like seeing my props
But no cinematic?
Genuinely what
The logic goes the other way
True deadcat sucks but most Deadcat frames aren't true deadcats because the front motors don't sit wider
@echo tangle just transfer me your knowledge so i can do this myself
doesnt matter
I
Me rn
What happened to to jahn
sleep
Your failing at faxing your brain right now apparently
ok what kind of flying do you want to do
and in what environments
I wouldn't listen to someone thats 15 either
Oh wow bringing out the big guns
No i mean the new tech support, Shout has transfered me to his co worker
i guess bro
im a higher up yo
Shout can you tell mr slow food like
escalated to supervisor
He's tryna build a drone when should've bought t one
do you wanna freestyle, long range or do cinematic
Well whats the difference between them
Um maybe provide video so he can see the difference?
freestyle is flips relatively close to you and rather often crashes
Can you give me reasons this is a negative
Besides “ough your less mature”

long range is stuff like diving mountains very far away from you
high risk
you're*
I prefer Kanye
no
you can get alot of range from freestyle quads too
i dont think you understand
its different flying styles
@astral forum Skip to 5:57 this is what i want, something agile but cool in a cinematic way too
FPV is back! I've built a small but mighty 3" cinematic fpv drone with the DJI O4 Pro. This little things rips.

O4 Air Unit ND Filte...
i already have goggles 3 btw
That looks fun
ok
do you want an external action camera?
whats the game plan, pre built?
well like, thats o4 pro
and that seems good enough to me
🙂
then maybe some sort of light weight 5" with a rather large battery
V2?
lemme see what the difference is rq
its quite a bit heavier
the flight controller is technically better tho
wont make a difference in flying realistically
i wouldnt pay 60€ extra for the v2
if they were the same weight then i would
if you want to freestyle get the squashed x version
if you want cinematic then deadcat tho itll fly a little worse
If you consider 5" just go 10"
Lite 4k mode is pretty ass comparatively
surely its better to buy from hobby rc or unmanned tech in england?
@echo tangle @astral forum
???
yeah
But like can you fly like that with the one we're building
that looks like 160kmh no?
Its hard to tell how fast that actually is. With a high FOV cam, that close to the ground atleast i can't really tell. But yeah something like 160 seems about right, maybe a little higher, but i could be wrong. That is definetly achievable with a 5" (though i am new to this thread and don't exactly know what you have in mind), but is definetly a torture test for your components and i'd advise you not to try and do this immediately. That low you can easily crash and at those speeds stuff will probably break. Your ESC, (Motors, Capacitor, Battery) could overheat pretty easily flying at full throttle over these periods of time, Your Battery might also not let you do that and if it does, it'll be empty real quick ^^ .If you do want to push your drone like this, it may do it, just maybe not as good, depending on your parts.
thats how all 5inch quads fly
now if you will be able to do that is a different story
yeah i wouldn't try it this early
higher up, sure go do a punch out
but close to the ground needs serious control
and long periods of 100% throttle need hardware that can handle it
are you doubting me
100%
im built for ts
@echo tangle can we continue?
maybe
Literally just any bnf 5inch
The manta 5 has an 04pro variant that’s elrs
You’ll also need a charger
how fast is this shit
i cant tell if this is 250kmh or 140kmh
motion blur is messing up my judgement
fast
what do you think
Whatever quad you buy will be double the speed of the Dji fpv
Prop size
Ah i see
Stop worrying about speed I beg of you
And acceleration?
Yes
is just prop size aswell?
Also motor kv
And prop pitch
A lot of things but mainly prop size is the only one you need to worry about
exact type of person to say "i want the most powerful drone" and then complain thats its too powerful lmao
Lmao
oh my god can we stop shitting on newbies
Yeah he’s thinking it’s gonna be similar to the Dji fpv
alright whats next
Find where the manta 5 is in stock
it is in stock
Alright
Next is lipo charger
The Hota T6 or d6 pro are both options
@green bison knows more about chargers then I do
But can the manta do that? and in terms of like agility and stuff
Oh yeah i need a charger
Brother
It will be better then your Dji fpv everything speed related
And just everything
any 5" can go fast in a straight line, there is nothing impressive about that video
Oh god he hasn’t had this convo yet
“Ahhh 5 minutes isint enough I want a 4000mah lipo”
How long does it take to charge 1?
As for lipos themselves
About 45 minutes
And you can change 2 at a time
Sob
You want 6s lipos that are 1100-1500 mah, 1300 is a good choice if your unsure
Gnb(with rainbow decals) and tattu are good
There’s a voltage indicator
You learn what voltage to fly them down to
Can you teach me what volt means
For you just think of it like power left
You start at 4.2v per cell and go down to 3.5V
Please read this thoroughly before flying
@echo tangle if i breaj the drone like whats the most common breaks
like a leg or prop
are they easy to fix
Props don’t really break they just slowly get less optimal
I’d say probably breaking the frame?
I don’t fly 5inxh
props, motors and arms are the most common breaks
Always buy extra props
ok, is there any way to protect the dji o4
the frame will do a decent job at that
The frame does pretty good at that
oh ok
hey guys is there any way i can like
fly this hypothetical drone inside a sim
to see what it feels like
with the dji fpv rc 2
Yes
wait
do i have to configure the rates
or like is it all just universal
do they not change
like what even are rates?
like how much power full throttle is?
they map a given stick position to the rotational rate of the quad
the default rates are fine
letsget pracitincg
you will probably want to change them as you get better to suit whatever flying style you go with
You are getting the tx15 right
Sure
uncrashed or velocidrone probably
veloci has the best physics but uncrashed is on steam and has a wide variety of maps
Benry hop on uncashed
Yes
like do i need that to play uncrashed
Loosen the throttle axis on the Dji rc so it doesn’t self center
oh dont worry buddy im not that much of a noob

@echo tangle
hype me up
im getting the credit card out to buy uncrashed
what does C1 even mean
certified not a dalprop moment
@everyone
@astral forum
on a scale of 1 to 10 how easy would it be to install dji o4 lite to a 5 inch prebuild WITHOUT it (so like spending 250 on the 5 inch, then buying the o4 later on)
bro
dont
If only someone mentioned a name multiple times to tell you
wytb
im learning here
ur forgetting this is my thread pal
MY fpv journey
Alrighty peace
not sure if thats the play when they gave you a personalized entire recommendation from beginning to end instead of just linking you the general beginner fpv stuff
it was a joke bro
he'll come back
remarks like that stop being funny when someone spends hours talking to you to help you
Do you have any idea how rude this is?
We'll see...
669th msg
They did 300 in the first 30mins last night
oh my jesus i let him know this before we even started
he knows im grateful
read the entire thread if u dont beleive me
i said this at the very beginning 😭
This boy's getting some core learning right here. 
hes not obligated to and If you read the thread you'll see I thanked him and jahn beforehand lol
.
If he found my comment genuinely offensive, he has my sincere apologies should he return to this discussion
send him my regards
lol
them not being obligated to is only more reason to be nice
dude
its really not that serious man
the whole message was an ironic joke
if you fail to see that id be worried, obviously he didnt take it well and I apologised, is there any further action to be taken?
you didn't mean it as being very serious but it was perceived as such, that's an important thing
people have different levels of humour and tolerance on discord
obviously his didnt match mine
why are we extending this?
like its really not a big deal
😭
i rest my case
it is not really an extension of what is happening but a discussion about it
I usually don't mind stuff like that, but it just seemed rude because you were talking like you have known shout for ages and know exactly what he thinks
But yeah just a bit of a misunderstanding
I’d also like to add I spent ages repeating and adjusting information around what you were doing and any time I’d try to let you do something yourself you would just, ignore it?
This is an independent hobby
You also, right now, have all the information you need in the thread to finish buying stuff assuming you go with a 5inch
im not a dickhead lol
did you come back to accept my apology
we go way back
.
@dark zinc @echo tangle this frame is out of stock
same with this
Just go 3" more frame options or try to find somewhere with it in stock
ok
@dark zinc any thoughts
on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard would it be to install a o4 lite on my own
whyd bro remoev his reactions
Wholesome New First Drone Build
Part 2
i just gave you all the remaning info you need
i am going to let you make a full cart/list and ping me when you are done
fpv shopping list
I have:
Goggles 3
===============
I need:
Radio: Master TX16S MK III MAX – High‑Performance ExpressLRS RC Transmitter (NOT SURE IF I NEED THIS)
Drone: Axisflying Manta 5 SE V2 5 Inch DeadCat DJI O4 PRO 6S ELRS 2.4G FPV Drone with GPS
Battery: 6S 1300mAh 120C GNB LiHV Battery - XT60 By Gaoneng
charger: HOTA D6 Pro Charger AC/DC Dual Channel
@tardy flare @echo tangle
yes no
so
the tx16 is fucking massive
id get the tx15 instead
also once again
if only someone already spent 2 hours telling you this
second, how important is props not in view for you?
that shits just annoying
if you can afford the max, the max
whats the difference
did you forget about the checking for a psu
thjen the deadcat
yea the deadcats the one im getting
i heard deadcat flies worse but like regardless will this all be better than dji fpv
no sorry
yep
it will be better in every way you can think of besides battery life

<link>
that was in the bundle tho
like theres a starter pack and DFR put those in there
so i thought theyd be better
or dogcom
they might be cheaper than buying the whole bundle separately, but theres a reason its bundled
but yeah gnb is good
no it was a "these are often bouight together" thing i bet
the second one is better
signifigantly better
\oj
oop
why not 1500 mah

GOGGLES (ALREADY HAVE GOGGLES 3)
yepper
sooo what about the psu
how the FUCK do i remove embeds
get extra props
yeah but i swear i can ujst right click it
and do it
see someone just did it
who did it?
which ones
d6 pro doesnt need a psu
probably just whats stock
the d6 pro isn't even relevant to my dang psu question yet
idk what pitch is good for 5inch props unfortunately
it comes before the d6 pro
rekt
ok can i just get something clear ELRS is us yes?
it's been asked 5 times now
ignored 5 times after the leading on that there would be an answer because I clearly need to clarify that this happened before the talking in this thread and was relevant to deciding which charger should be picked because there are better choices if they have a power supply already eyeroll emoji
el;rs is what
then even I dont know what psu are you talking about lol
but yeah this seems good
what relevance does this have again
anyway
props
let me go find them
please dont tell me props are like 20 quid
sorry
to see if you can get a cheaper charger
fucking hell retarded question
you need pink props
get 3 packs of a couple different ones to try it out 
pink is the only one in stock
you survive
https://www.drone-fpv-racer.com/en/hq-freestyle-prop-5x43x3v2s-2cw2ccw-pc-5990-67173.html#/2797-color-violet my recommendation
yeah those are good
also sure
im biased for hqprop so
thoser are signifigantly less agressive then the other ones'
i want all the aggression
get two sets of both and see which you prefer
yeah but maybe some less pitch would be better for a beginner
if you wanna try some bad props go for these https://www.drone-fpv-racer.com/en/gemfan-sl5130-3-props-shaft-15mm-4pcs-7799-77261.html#/1034-color-clear 
do no props come with the drone itself
they do
i mean thats the least they could do surely
im capable of a screwdriver
no screwdriving
point proven
worth the weight in gold
can i just get 3?
Why
Then youd have to do two charge cycles for one extra battery
😭
And you won’t wanna motivate for that
can i ask
do these last long
and im scaredl ike i saw videos of people saying they can fry really easily
and stuff
I bought 3 and kinda regreted it
like if u fly under voltage
like u need to teach me this shit
so i dont fuck anything up
it took me 10 days to order more packs
yep!
kk
make sure yo radio is elrs
do i need battery straps
dont forget radio batterys!
theres more?
literally just google tx15 battery on dronefpv racer
sob
out of stock
rip
doesnt the dji fpv rc 3 LITTERALY work
two 18650s then
https://www.drone-fpv-racer.com/pack-li-ion-4800mah-2s1p-xt30-9975.html lemme check if this runs into it
240 quid for a conroller
I have a boxer and that pack
i saw a guy using it
its ass!
when you loose video you loose control
therefore no recovery
can always get the non max version
just get two 18650s and you are done
the samsung ones you picked out earlier were good
be honest wit hthe non max one hurt me
like
is it that bad
to the point where i need to get a max
its not
it fits
see this!
on the boxer battery tray so
do you understand critical thinking
like at all
might get 1500 > look for 1500 > cant find 1500 > either ask or dont get 1500
multiple 1500s when you straight up open the 6s page
meh
the dji brick fits No?
no
you had a charger homie
gahhh question shout
that aint even the same plug 😭
i already want to leave im not going to waste time having you pick something you dont need
or remotely similar
read this and get the hota d6 pro
