In this video, we dive into the process of building a powerful 5-inch 6S FPV Freestyle Drone (quadcopter) for making cinematic flight video.
I got inspired years ago seeing the stunning, cinematic flight videos of landscapes and even racing videos done by FPV drones back when they were getting popular. This year I decided to go all in and purchase some of the highest performing parts to build my first racing drone and get a sturdy start in the FPV hobby.
The objective of this video was to share my experience of building and flying my first FPV drone, at the same time giving my insights and tips to inspire and help others get into the drone hobby as well.

@amen_ra6926 11 месяцев назад

Nice build for a first one. Very neat and clean. You'll find that a majority of us couldn't care less about dirt and grass getting in the electronics. I've come home and you'd think the quad took a bath in dirt 🤣😂🤣. As long as it doesn't get too wet. Even the motors get covered. Just spin them a little and keep it moving. All that TPU covering things up looks nice but just adds unnecessary weight. If you have skids, no need for pads. Any weight savings you can make improves performance. Some guys suggest not allowing anything to touch the flight controller like wires crossing the top. The vibration can mess with the gyro. Best to run wires underneath above the ESC. The style vtx antenna on the SMA is different. Can't say I've seen that type used before. Most go with a stubby or lollipop. Something a little less prone to getting thrashed in a crash. There could be a risk of it getting snapped off. That would make for a bad day. My first flight lasted about 5 secs. Unlike you, I made the mistake of not knowing about fpv sims to practice. I thought my R/C plane experience would be enough. I was wrong 😂🤣😂🤣. Multirotors fly totally differently.

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Hi there! Thank you for the comment... I find the covers actually handy since I don't want the internal parts all covered in mud, scrap cleaning all that! 😂😂 The drone is extremely jumpy and powerful already for me, that little bit of added tpu weight is not felt much, in fact it helps protect it rather than be an inconvenience (in my case anyway). However, I will consider removing unnecessary weight such as the LEDs (since I don't want to fly in the dark). Conformal coating the boards will probably be what it takes before I do consider removing the covers. About the antenna, I replaced it today with a Foxeer Lollipop antenna, works great improving the video signal 👍 Thanks for your other tips mentioned above, I'll consider them. Be careful out there with your drone too! Sim practice is always beneficial before every real flight even if you're a rather advanced pilot. Especially if you haven't flown in a while 👍

@ignasanchezl 11 месяцев назад

That is an awesome beginner setup, definitely better than mine. I do believe that you're gonna want to remove some weight once you get better, but the added protection seems like a good idea to get started. I love CNHL batteries btw.

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Many thanks! Will consider dropping the LEDs and maybe the side covers in the near future as I get to fly more. CNHLs are dominating the market, sure are great choice of batteries. Cheers 👍

@HrDux 11 месяцев назад

I wouldn't put rubber grommets on the frame. Instead, use press nuts regular nuts so that the stack screws don't wobble around. It will make tuning your quad a lot easier. I can't believe GEPRC wants the stack to wobble around like that, but they do.

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

I think it also comes down to preference. Personally, I think it's safer using this amount of grommets as it protects the flight controller and ESC stack from getting destroyed upon impact or shock. This of course only lasts if the stack is tightened down really well. Thanks for your tip, though!

@suborgulag7289 11 месяцев назад

@MurphysLaw996 11 месяцев назад

You have circular polarized antennas on the goggles and linear antenna on the drone. That’s why you don’t have a good video feed. Good quality circular polarized antennas are a must if you want good range no matter the drone orientation in space.

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for pointing this out! Just the other day, I changed out the 2.4g antenna for a circular polarized Foxeer Lollipop antenna.

@ynnus_ 11 месяцев назад

just a suggestion, i saw in the bag that came with your rgb lights was some included race wire, i would solder the motors to those then solder from the racewire to the esc, if its inline between motor and esc and sits on top of your arms it will prevent prop strikes from ripping up your motor wires. if it wasnt racewire that was included i'd definitley get some you can get it on racedayquads for like $1.50

Loved the video! Very informative for beginners and fun for everyone else! The only thing i disliked is how you tightened the nuts on the motor. You only need it tight enough that the prop won't budge. The nylon insert will do the part of keeping it from vibrating off. Normally, you wouldn't need a locking wrench to hold the bell when tightening it

@suborgulag7289 11 месяцев назад

Very clean build, however I don't think twisting the wires would do much in the way of reducing noise. You could shield the wires with some copper foil and solder a wire from that to a ground pad for actual rf shielding. You can also heatshrink it. It's the exact same thing that happens in USB cables.

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Hi and thanks. Good tip, I heard from another fpv pilot that it is best to use coax cable or rf shielded cable on the video signal wire, like you mentioned. Cheers.

Im afraid the vtx will overheat of you obstruct airlow with these side covers. Its super easy to overheat them (talking from experience) especially when at high output power

@arthurganz 11 месяцев назад

Also, when the vtx heats up it wil drop its power to protect its self. So fpv feed can suddenly disappear

Yeah we don't care if dirt gets in there. Sometimes mine looks like it took a bath in mud 🤣😂🤣😂

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

The side covers don't fully touch up against the VTX, plus, there's plenty of airflow underneath and from the back of the frame for the unit to breathe via its front and back holes (for LED). This wouldn't be my concern.

Thanks. I suggest you check out other videos showing how to make a 4-5S quad. It's up to you whether or not you use an FPV camera on your drone, but it will 99% of the time be easier to control it with goggles on. FPV quads are super awkward to control without FPV.

@serenestateofbeing1062 8 дней назад

Running wires over the top of the flight controller is usually not recommended because it can interfere with the gyro. Its probably ok but if issues with the gyro show up, try moving the wires under the FC. the side plates block dirt but it also blocks air. You get no air flow with the sideplates, if youre having trouble with range, your vtx could be overheating and lowering the power. Cool build!

How did you get the Tx12 to connect to the Express LRS module?

@MaxImagination 4 месяца назад

Hi there. Before you can connect the Tx12 to the receiver, you need to follow the steps in this video to first configure the transmitter- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8KaJOT190V0.html Then in your transmitter, you will find an option to bind with the receiver. The first time you do binding, plug and unplug the drone's power connector 3 times and then keep it plugged in for a rapid blinking green light. That indicates your drone is ready for binding. From there, proceed with binding in your transmitter UI.

@@MaxImagination Thanks for the response. I have to do the battery unplug/plug in method. For some reason Expresslrs software keeps having issues connecting through wifi and wont build or flash. spent hours looking at videos. Did follow your drone build list though. I got all the same parts as I liked the build.

@emilelalonde3010 11 месяцев назад

I just bought the same parts for a 6 inch drone

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Great! Did you purchase a bigger frame? The Mark 4 frame doesn't work with props larger than 5".

@GR33ZY.A1 11 месяцев назад

What size are your props? I have an 5 inch Arris x220 v2 with 5nch props but they touch the middle frame. Do you recommend 4.5 inch props or 4 inch?

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Mine are exactly 5 inches in diameter and I don't have an issue with them touching the frame or anything. Which frame do you have? If this is your issue, I suggest downgrading to 4.5 inch or 4.75 inch props if possible.

@GR33ZY.A1 11 месяцев назад

@@MaxImagination A 5 inch 220mm X frame i believe im saying it fight? Lol. 👍 Okay yeah I figured 4.5s would fit. Do you think if i cut down the tip a little bit the prop will still work?

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

If you do have to shorten the ends, you can. However, make sure you don't take too much off! Just little snippets at a time... Cheers.

Hey I can't seem to find where he bought the wires little help here please ?

@MaxImagination 2 месяца назад

Which wires? Wires are normally included with the part such as the wires connecting the motors to the ESC stack.

@beloitdavisja 9 месяцев назад

Going through this build now - what size bolts/nuts did you use to secure the VTX to the frame? The frame kit didn't come with any that fit the hole size.

@MaxImagination 9 месяцев назад

Hi there. I used a couple of M2 bolts with nuts to secure the VTX to the frame.

Did you have to get a drone license for that or if it is for personal use do you not need one?

Bro I make a car with four 12v motor with L298n motor driver with 12v battery , tell me why my motor driver is heating so hard or should i brought a new one and options?

@MaxImagination 11 месяцев назад

Hi there. Your motors require a higher amount of power to run, therefore, the 2A maximum l298 motor driver is overheating.

Just tell., If the motor goes in wrong direction What is the correct solution?

@amen_ra6926 11 месяцев назад

BetaFlight can reverse them if they are spinning the wrong way. Some of us prefer to have props spin outward. That way if you fly through a tree, in theory, the prop pushes the leaves and branches away instead of grabbing them and pulling them in increasing the chance of getting tangled if you fly "props in".
