hello

#

I'm here to help

spiral hull
#

Hey man, how’s it going?

blissful gull
#

good

#

so you have the DJI remote controller 2?

#

and the goggles 2?

spiral hull
#

Fpv Google’s v2 and I ordered the controller 2 but hasn’t shipped yet. I also have radio master pocket lets

#

Im trying to find a way to make it not a hassle on anyone. I found this but im not sure if it’ll run with the DJI fpv goggles v2.

#

If there’s a better build for my setup which I’m sure there probably is, I’d love to hear it though.

blissful gull
#

are you planning on just using the Air Unit for the Goggles, and controller?

#

I will see if you can fit an Air Unit on that quad, I'm pretty sure you can

spiral hull
#

I could. But isn’t the run a link wasp compatible with fpv v2 I think it comes with elrs transmitter as well.

#

I’m really trying to keep the whole build under 400-450 if possible. Like I said I’m new so it’ll probably get crashed a bit.

blissful gull
#

ok

#

I'll look for some builds

spiral hull
#

Thank you

blissful gull
#

do you care if its under/over 250grams

#

if you live in the US, 250g means you need remote ID

spiral hull
#

I do live in the US and I have no idea what remote ID is. So preferably under.

#

If you can link me a guide on how to set up REMOTE ID wiring then it doesn’t matter

blissful gull
#

most people won't use remote ID since it's stupid

#

I'm sure if your build was like... 3 grams over no one will care

#

I'll look for a sub250g build

regal carbon
#

but if you want to stay sub250g, it's better to build/get something around 3-3.5" in size

#

any FC with at least one free UART will work with a DJI VTX

spiral hull
#

i think id only need 4 motors tho

regal carbon
#

one is spare

#

also for the O3 there are better frames that you can get

spiral hull
#

ok I'll look again lol. Anything you'd recommend? And just out of curiosity, would the 03 be over kill with the fpv v2 goggles? They cant get the full 4k or w/e so couldnt a wasp or vista be a better/cheaper option?

spiral hull
regal carbon
#

the list is a bit old for my liking, I'm currently working on getting it up to date. The frames there are still ok for analog, but for an O3 I'd get a frame that's specifically made with it in mind

#

like the GEPRC Mark5, iFlight Nazgul V3/Evoque, SpeedyBee Master 5 V2, AxisFlying Manta, etc...

spiral hull
regal carbon
#

up to you to decide. Look at some reviews and footage comparisons

spiral hull
#

I did, they all look great compared to what im used to running. 😄

spiral hull
regal carbon
#

I think there's even an O3 specific version of the Mark5 which would be even better, I'd look into that

#

you'd also need a receiver for your Pocket

#

since I wouldn't recommend usign the DJI Radio

spiral hull
#

New Generation freestyle MARK5 frame. The MARK5 Frame is now officially released in three versions, which are the standard version, the pro version, and the pro upgrade kits version. The frame is compatible with DJI AIR UNIT, CADDX VISTA, and Analog VTX.

#

I looked but dont see another frame besides the standard in mark5

regal carbon
spiral hull
#

sweet thanks ill pick that up. Doing some googling on receivers now.

spiral hull
#

trying to get it all from the same site

#

i picked 1800kv motors, is that ok? and thats the only ELRS 2.4GHz receiver on their list.

blissful gull
#

yes

#

what battery size do you have?

spiral hull
#

looks like i can run 3s-6s with that stax

#

Ill probablt get something like 1300-1500mah 6s batteries

blissful gull
#

you have 5" frame

#

so 6s will be good

#

are you doing freestyle, cinematic??

spiral hull
#

i use my dji mini 2 for crispy photos. Im just building this for something to have fun with

blissful gull
#

yeah

#

FPV is so much fun

#

1800kV is enough for 6s freestyle

spiral hull
# blissful gull 1800kV is enough for 6s freestyle

any recommendations on the c rating? And yeah Ive been playing around in a sim. its super fun even on a PC lol. Cant wait til I can record my kids on the 4wheeler and dirt bikes while doing fancy turns etc.

#

im wondering if these are any good

2X Tattu R-Line 130C 1300mAh 22.2V 130C 6S Lipo Battery XT60 For FP...

What is R-Line?. It's got higher capacity, lower internal resistance, and lower landing temperatures. They are more powerful than any graphene battery. There are different R-Line versions for the needs of different FPV racing competitions.

#

or is 130c too much?

#

Oh, and any idea if that receiver I listed earlier will work with my build?

blissful gull
#

1300mAh is a lot for freestyle

spiral hull
blissful gull
#

uhhhh

#

idk... I only fly 1s boshua_jardwell

#

prob 1000mAh

#

or 12000mAh

spiral hull
#

lol alright

spiral hull
#

I just realized something. If im running the runcam instead of the o3 unit, would I still use the frame designed to be used with the o3 unit? Im not positive that theyre the same mounts.

spiral hull
#

yo @regal carbon you there? I need advice on a new stack so I can get all my parts from pyrodrone

#

heres what I got so far. since im getting caddx instead of air unit, I opted for a different frame. But Pyro doesnt carry the Stax you recommended

#

obviously Ill need and ELRS receiver as well, but Im not sure which one to grab.

harsh cypress
#

So first of all buy a sim @spiral hull

#

That will make you not crash

blissful gull
#

he did

#

I think

blissful gull
harsh cypress
#

Make sure you have at least 20 hours, you should be able to stay in the air then

blissful gull
#

yup

#

the more sim practice the better

spiral hull
# blissful gull yup

Yeah ive put in another 4 hours already on liftoff today. taking a break for now to try and finish my build. I guess I can just buy the xilo and another random item from getfpv to hit the free shipping lol.

regal carbon

#

Also might aswell buy a iflight nazgul5 v3 O3 6s HD

#

Unless you really wanna make a drone yourself

spiral hull
# harsh cypress Unless you really wanna make a drone yourself

Well I save around $200 building it myself and since I have DJI V2 goggles, it cant take full advantage of the O3 unit so I dont want to spend another $100 on o3 system when I can get the caddx for cheaper. Also, I plan to use my pocket ELRS instead of DJI controller 2. I thought about buying a BNF many times I can assure you. But this way is much cheaper, plus since I'm building it, I'll learn how to repair it as well.

spiral hull

spiral hull
# harsh cypress Yeah ik, 1 you can record better and 2 I didn’t know if you wanted to struggle w...

Thats true, but I still dont think it justifies the additional cost. Maybe after I get confident enough that I wont wreck the drone I will, but as of now, I just want something budget that I wont get upset about if I total it. And as far as building goes, I have ADHD. Im a certified welder, P&T, certified for hydraulics, precision alignments, work on gear boxes/motors, have a small engine repair shop, build computers from scratch, etc. My point to all that is, learning new skills (like learning to build drones) is something that will really help me keep focus for a while until something else grabs my attention.

I switch hobbies faster than I switch my underpants. So ya know.

spiral hull
#

Yeah my wife gets irritated sometimes with my ability to jump into a new hobby, master it, then never touch it again

harsh cypress
#

I get that 🤣

spiral hull
#

shouldve seen when I wanted to learn how to sharpen knives with a whetstone. I spent over $500 on diamond stones, whetstones, and belt sanders just so i could learn all the methods. not to mention the$2000+ in knives i bought. Havent touched any of that in months, but I can get a knife hair whittling sharp. 😂

#

all the stuff just sits in a corner in office. If i sell it though, Ill end up just buying it all back smh.

harsh cypress
#

I mean it’s a good skill to know

#

You have the knifes to cook

#

You might learn to be a masterchef as a next hobby

spiral hull
#

Im cajun baby, I was born a master chef.

#

on a real note, thanks for the advice. sorry for going wayyyyyy off topic. Happens a lot.
