=====================================
This is the Pavlova 3.5 modular concept. A lightweight HD FPV drone with a swappable DJI VTX. I wanted to create a drone that I could quick swap the DJI O3 air unit between crafts. I have a few different quads that I only use on occasion and otherwise just sit around. I figure if I could create a few different designs that all share a common O3 (One of more the expensive components) I could save a bit of coin and try out different things.
The drone is based around a typical freestyle design (Think Alien, QAV, -insert every other knock-off-) with only 6 main frame components. The use of the BetaFPV Pavo20 housing allows the DJI O3 to be completely isolated from the frame (Both in vibration and grounding) leading to smooth recorded HD footage with no props in view at even the lowest camera angles.
If there's interest in the concept, I might develop a few more styles using the same principle. Commenting your thoughts doesn't go to waste. Thanks for watching.
Parts used on this drone:
Frame: Pavlova 3.5
Motors: T-Motor Pacer 1804 3400kv
AIO: BetaFPV F722 35A V2
Video: DJI O3 Air Unit
RC Link: Radiomaster RP4TD ELRS
Props: Gemfan 3525
Radio: Radiomaster Boxer Max

@xsatn2082 3 месяца назад

Seriously this is great you just need like a few different bodies, small, medium and large to swap them to your liking. Makes sense since o3 is an expensive vtx, it's almost half the price of a drone.

@Northcountryfpv 3 месяца назад

The next fpv inovation is here "hot swap vtx". honestly this is the best idea. If bnf brands like flight or Geprc start using it, there could be an option to buy the drone with the "hot swap system". I think for this to really be used main stream it would have to be quick and easy, just sliding it onto rails that would be on the drone, and for the connector it could just be plugged in.

I like the swop out idea, I can't be the only one that has to many O3 units just because I can't be arsed switching them over.

@BowserMG 3 месяца назад

Brilliant. I know the idea about removable O3 units was a concept talked about and implemented (not very well) before. An excellent concept which I'm surprised no one has taken further. I'm not sure but I think this is the first time a frame has been designed with that purpose in mind. Also there's a few good ideas there that can be used in other frames in general. Like the pockets for the silicone pads for example, which are more available, lighter and less expensive to buy then good quality battery pads. If the removable of the O3 housing can be done without removing the top plate would be great, which could be done by using press nuts in the top plate for a thread to screw the housing onto. I hope your video inspires more ingenuity and creativity.

@Sonic_Ox 3 месяца назад

I think that's an extremely relevant design. 03 air units are really expensive (for me anyway). I only own two quads, both diy builds. The 7" is analog and the 3.5" is digital with the 03AU and Goggles Integra. I've toyed with the idea of buying another 03AU for the 7" but have been dragging my feet due to cost and the 04AU might drop and if it's compatible with Integra, I might save up for one. Your solution is valid for a great many people. Thanks for creating content that I find interesting, informative, and entertaining. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻

@MarkBakerFPV 3 месяца назад

That is such a good idea. I have been toying with the idea of putting an 03 air unit in a tpu mount but all the tpu mounts add a lot of weight. It would be on on my 7 inch quad and my 3 inch cinequad but a bit much for my old beta85x. However this idea is absolutely perfect. I think I will design a tpu mount to mount the shell to, to adipate it to suit my other drone. Awesome video 🔥🔥👌👌

@Porculus 3 месяца назад

There are only two things to say: Great job! And why didn't I think of this myself? I could see this idea really taking off, pun intended. Could be sold as a 2'' + 3'' combo, or 2.5'' + 3.5'' combo, or any combination up to 7''. Buy the module with 1, 2, 3, 4 or more different-sized frames, for a tailored price. Each frame would have its own FC with its own PID tune for each size.

@ScottTomlinson 3 месяца назад

That's what I'm thinking too. Even if not this design, the takeaway is the concept. A big manufacturer could design and sell a whole series around the concept. They're selling drones without an O3 for cost reasons already so this isn't a big pivot.

@Lift33d 3 месяца назад

Very cool bro! I wanna get one this week and build a freestyle version. Also what type of cnc machine was that?

@ScottTomlinson 3 месяца назад

Thanks mate! It's a custom one I designed and built years back. It's actually in my proximity speed drone video from a couple years ago too.

@yonseimatt 3 месяца назад

Got one, kinda, for Walksnail. It's a 3D printed little box that fits all the gubbins in and attaches with a GoPro mount. Looks a bit like a GoPro Session with an antenna sticking out. I just added two extra plugs, one of the old red JSTs for power and an XH2.54 for RX/TX, because I didn't like the idea of unplugging the tiny WS plug all the time. Here in China you can buy those 3D printed cases for WS and DJI, no need to even grab a file from Thingiverse, but for O3 you can also get a CNC aluminium jobbie which also acts as a heatsink. Very cool stuff, your solution is much more elegant though. Speaking of modular, there's also a company making a 5 & 7" frame with quickly swappable arms, they stay together in a kind of X shape with motors and props still installed, and have all the little springy brass connectors for the ESCs. 3 minutes or less to go from 5" freestyle to 7" cruiser. The future may well be modular.

@yonseimatt 3 месяца назад

Oh, quick edit- Mine has a GoPro mount, but you can also get them with a Garmin bike computer type mount, just twist it in 90 degrees to lock, which makes it a bit lower profile.

@hairyhider7478 Месяц назад

@ScottTomlinson Месяц назад

I can add that file if you wanted it. It does weaken the top plate (Not that I've had an issue with it)

@lemonsquareFPV 3 месяца назад

Very cool looking design! I dig it! What’s the thought process behind not mounting the cage to the bottom plate with the AIO further back? I have a similar spirit setup using a Catalyst Machine Works inspired 3D print design sandwiched between the top and bottom plates that holds an easily removable front carbon cage, rear top plate mounted AIO for really good resonance and top mounted CG toilet tank battery for proper handling. It’s far from perfect but has some really good designs incorporated. This design also has a brother with rear bottom plate mounted FC+ESC and top plate mounted arms that handles even better as the prop line and CG are basically at the same point.

@ScottTomlinson 3 месяца назад

I like symmetry. My rx also sits in that front bit but with a thicker bottom plate you probably could by changing the layout a bit. I like the added strength the traditional top plate/bottom plate gives you. It's actually quite small though and quite a tight fit already (130mm top plate, 15mm max standoff) My main design intention was no props in view at 0 (or even negative) cam angles.

@adrianhenry1982 3 месяца назад

Like the frame need the files👌👌✌

@lucanixfpv 3 месяца назад

great idea, what i thought was wouldnt it be better for center of mass and stuff like that to get rid of the top plate in the front area and fix that air unit cage to the bottom plate? i guess you would have to move the fc back a bit but it should be more compact and not sticking out so much to the top

@ScottTomlinson 3 месяца назад

My receiver sits in that front part. You loose all strength just removing the top plate in the front but you could definitely make a mono frame design though. That would work too.

@FlyingBeeFPV 3 месяца назад

This is ingenious! Thanks for sharing. I was playing with the happymodel mobul8 canopy for that matter but the pico canopy seems to be better suited for that purpose. This will be even more important with the hopefully upcoming o4 air unit with maybe even higher price this sort of thing is the only way forward from this point. I mean almost nobody buys a speperate GoPro for each and every quad! Right?

@ScottTomlinson 3 месяца назад

You're right! Back in the day GoPro was the FPV camera too, we might be coming full circle with future DJI gear haha

@MusicManSgtD 3 месяца назад

Wow! Great idea…. I think you should come up with a creative name for the idea. It could be open source-ish. That way if someone has a specific drone model they can look up the version for theirs. And spread it to other vtx as well using the same name. Something like “basket case” or the like.

@IanMacKenzie_IIsWe 3 месяца назад

This makes a ton of sense to me! The cost savings and the low deck design for good CG are both attractive. Great design! Would it make sense to soft-mount only the camera, so that you can tighten the screws that attach the air unit cage to the frame fully? They'll be less likely to come loose.

@ScottTomlinson 3 месяца назад

Those screws lock in tight. That's the great part about that BetaFPV cage. They have a blind thread in the nut. You can tighten it fully and it's the same every time. A drawback with only isolating the camera is the weight. Dampening becomes easier when there's a bit of mass.
