Converting An ANALOG FPV Drone Into DIGITAL 

Hope you guys find this helpful!

Best rising FPV RU-vidr ever seen...

I wish you were doing these videos when I was first starting. Clear, concise and great editing. Awesome job!

Thank you for explaining so well and not assuming we know what Rx and Tx mean! I have been flying for 2 years and you’re telling me things I have been doing without knowing why or what they mean!

Very helpful! I really appreciate how you explain everything even the “basics” like acronyms and specifically what each thing is like uarts. Helped clear up a lot of confusions for me, thanks!

These videos are great. I got into fpv right when you did. Intermediate/ advanced tutorials are perfect! Thank you

Congrats on 10k Matt! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been recently getting started on my FPV journey and you're by far the most genuine and authentic FPV youtuber out there, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me to understand what´s going on inside my fpv drone. You are a fantastic teacher!!!

Perfect clear explanation, thanks!

Good video as usually. Thanks to share your experiences with so perfect videos.

was looking for this video for a long time, just got an Analog cinewoop and was wondering to to go about transferring to digital, awesome explanation and direct, keep the awesome videos coming!

Excellent, clear explanation. Really helpful. Thank you!

Greetings from Tennessee. I always look forward to your videos. You are very articulate and everything is explained very well

Great video and thanks for the informative advice! Keep up the great videos.

Great video! Very clear explanations !

Very clear, and well presented, thank you very much

this is so helpful! going dji end of the year

I love your vids! Hope you have a great day.

In the early stages of learning about fpv your videos have been reeally helpful. Thanks. Subbing (pre 25K)..

Finally, new video! :)

So close to 10k! I love you boii

I LOVE your videos. thanksss

Almost 10000 subscribers! Keep up the good work.

Despite having already done all of the upgrades your videos show, they way you present is so well thought out and clean that I find myself watching anyways :)

Great job on this video

I have the Nazgul HD and Shendrone squirt, about to hook 2 up. Saved the video just to be sure! Awesome vid!

Great vids Matt, I'm just about to pull the plug on going digital :)

So pumped when I saw this was a taycan! As you can see by my profile pic I’m switching to digital too and this is the one quad I need to convert!

Awesome video... and even better, I'm doing this to the exact same drone.

This video is amazing!!!

I finally understand UARTs! Thank you

Wow, that was not as hard as I thought it was! Great explanation!

Not rising fast enough you deserve wayyy more subs man you made me get into fpv ive always loved rc things but never heard of fpv until recently so I jumped in head first now just waiting on deliveries its killing me, need to get my radio and that should be be ready

Well Done, just about to wire up a DJI air unit to my Cvatar...good timing.

thank you!

Me sirvió mucho tu video amigo

Like button smashed. Man you're way too modest. I just bought a vista unit and that was hands down the best step by step guide I've seen. I've replaced components like receivers and vtx's so I already know how but I'm always looking to learn more or a better way. This should really be helpful to newcomers. I found it exceedingly so. I don't think you missed anything. Anyway just sayin give yerself some cred bro. This is valuable info. Thanks

What A Great Vid!

Good video. For the people that have a nazgul 5 and would like to fit a vista without buying the new frame, it’s possible. Steps: 1) Remove your vtx, antenna and camera. 2) Turn your esc + flight controller 180 degrees, so the battery leads and capacitor face forward. Watch Joshua Bardwell’s video to configure this correctly in betaflight. 3) Remove the receiver. 4) Mount the vista vertically on the back using double sided tape and zip ties. 5) Fit your receiver on top of your flight controller with zip ties to the top plate 6) Zip tie your battery cables to a standoff on the side to keep it away from the props. 7) The antenna fits perfectly ;) I’ve been flying like this for some time without any problems :)

thank you for this video!! I plan on switching to digital in a few months edit: theres a really good soldering tutorial from Mr. Steele on his channel you should link that one in the description

Thanks Matt, very clear video, I have been on the fence after getting Fatsharks with a Rapidfire Module and still wasn't good enough...LOL, I think this helped me make the decision to start my Digital journey,,,not saying goodbye to analog completely ,,,just start with one for now...keep up the great work friend.

Thanks Matt that is the best and clearest explanation of how to connect the vista ... I will also have to mount without screws was the sticky pad enough? Cheers Phil 😊👍

Crystal Clear!

Great job by the way.

wowwww don"t stop it is so easy when you explain

Very nice explanation Matt. Converted my 1st drone the summer. Prefer the DJI system as the on board video is better quality (frame size) than the goggle video.

Hi Matt, thankw for the video. Very good explanation. I am too going to convert to DJI very soon. The only 2 things I guess missing from the video is attaching antenna to Vista unit (because I heard/saw it's tricky) and adding capacitor to vista some where... Altho I know it's not essential but highly recommended.

As an intermediate pilot, this is very clear... and the whiteboard/marker illustrations are what I'd expect from only from a professional marketing video... very effective. The only thing I have to offer is that if you find your camera-to-Vista cable is too short; there are after-market solutions that are longer, so you can adapt the Vista to larger frames in the best layout and weight distribution. Also, use a small desktop fan when working on the flight controller to dissipate the solder fumes, and likewise, with the Vista powered-on to add airflow and keep it cool.

Love all your videos. Im your new subscriber.

well explained bruh. subbed and liked. :)

Very good explanations 🥹

Another awesome video! You could twist the wires, make it cleaner and most important the GND works like isolation. Do you share your flights?

For the beginners that want to learn how to solder, find an old non working electronic device and where you see the power cord soldered to it, just practice soldering by connecting and disconnecting the solder joints with a soldering iron.. Great way and a low cost ( soldering iron) to learning how to solder. 🖐️🤠 Great video Matt, subbed your channel!

Awesome video Matt. But I was hoping for some flight footage.

Did the same conversion with an Air unit, should’ve sticked with a vista and saved weight, Nice Hakko! It’s the real deal

Tq sir!!! From malaysia

Remember your OG fans when you go big mate.

Biiig thanks ;)

Great explanation and video !!!! The easiest part is to click the pairing button :D I will try your instructions when I move to the DJI system. Thanks for the video, you have my suscription and like

the lighting in your videos are impeccable! Can I ask how you light your setup?

Just bought a used protek 35 with no caddx vista or tbs . Just spent an hr trying to figure it out before finally downloading the diagram. Just so happens this video popped up as well 😁😎

tq bro sharing ..

I'm not an expert or a beginner, but I enjoyed watching this video and think you did a great job explaining everything!

Do you plan on using the 8 or 13 cm vista on your nazgul? Great video and awesome content as always!

Hi - good video :-) thanks for that !. Can Vista be used with any DJI remote? or should it be an FPV remote?

hi matt really need some help i have dji goggles v2 and controller 2 im looking to fly other drones and need some advice on compatability will any drone with dji air unit be ok love the videos

Matt, one thing yo may want to mention is "as the user is taking apart the drone, each step along the way take a good high res photo of the connections and components" just in case you need to re-do something.

Nice Vid!

Serious question. Did you have any video/editing experience before this channel? Your style is so aesthetic and everything on point. Keep up the good work

I have the exact same drone as you have in this video and I am doing the exact same thing converting to digital

Good deal. im on the list for v2 goggles , if they even exist , lol . got a vista coming that i'll probably throw in my taycan. hope it fits in the 2.5inch version but i'll make it work. it'll be a lot lighter than analog cam + gopro, might stay under 250g with small battery.

Hey Matt, if you are ever strapped for certain electronics or hardware check out RScomponents or Mouser, amazing range of stuff and also normally pretty good delivery :)

you are not the best , but you Explain everything as Perfect as you can , that's why you are more than Best ;) GL Dude

Great channel for us beginners .. i have the nazgul 5 & trying to convert to digital. Still struggling...wish I got the nazgul HD but oh well 🤦

I love the seek discomfort merch xD have the same one

Great detailed video instructions.....even though you converted analog drone to digital goggles, does that mean you would not be able to use an analog rc such as the tx16s

Great video as usual and right on time. I’m also planning to upgrade some of 5 inches to digital and my nazgul5 was in the list. Just learned in that video that it won’t fit without replacing the entire frame with the Xl V2 version :( So I will have to consider upgrading my lal5 style instead :)

+smoke stopper when plugging in after soldering

SO CLOSE TO TEN THOUSAND! 9.99K according to RU-vid

Can you please do a video on the compatibility of the dji controllers and goggles, for example I bought an analog drone which comes with a caddx Ratel 2.1mm Camera so is that going to bind with my dji controller and goggles or would I need a caddx Vista? Can't find a video on this

HIII, going to buy the Nazgul5 V2 6S drone and a TX16S reciever, wondering which type of reciever that works best with TX16S that I should choose on the drone and why? :)) any help is appreciated

Hi Matt anyway of knowing how to get the telementary working on the OSD ? Did you did. Got VIDEO, but the Telementary not working. Turn on the UARTS , and does not show up ? Any solutions ?

10k very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video definitely I'll re-watch it when I'll be upgrading my Protek 35 to digital :) Small comment at 8:44 - the 7.4-26.4 is voltage not "power" ;) Unit of power is Watt. Weird that they labelled that in their instruction.

We need a digital reaction/ review next

A cheap investment that you don't mention is a smoke stopper definitely check your continuity via a multimeter but before you plug your battery in attach a smoke stopper then the battery and power up. If there is an issue the smoke stopper will cut the power before it does damage to the esc / flight controller

Great vid! If only I was able to use DJI FPV system legally in Japan.

Will this unit work with the DGI V2 goggles?
