awesome job guys ! definitely waiting the flight video. I would love to ear the difference in terms of sounds. The avata original sound is really annoying. I guess with bigger props it gets better ...
hey, if you put bigger blades and more powerful motors than the original ones, i guess it will need less force, and the blades will spin slower to keep the drone stable? So less noise (:-)?) and less consumption? Have you been able to quantify this change? sorry for my bad english
I just got my Avata 3.5 today, and have a question on this video at this time stamp 6:38 Video at that point image shows to cut the wires and not remove from board but the video right before shows board removal. So is it better not to solder to the board itself and instead cut? Or optional depending on how well we are at soldering?
@@axisflying840 thanks, I built a lot of racers so I’ll prob solder to board thanks, is there a length the wires should be cut to for the motors, assuming soldering to the board directly?
I already have the old c157 motors and I would like to use only the new axxis frame, but I saw that the new frame has 4 screws for the motor, and my c157 is 3 screws, any idea if it will launch the frame for the old motors?
One of the main features of the avata is the gimbal, with head tracking. with the axisflying upgrade the frame is in view while looking downwards. But thats a no go!
hi, thanks for the amazing guide, I have followed all the steps but front 2 motors are not moving. on goggles it show propulsion and esc error. would you please help.
For me, this was usually from the wires of the motors touching the metal shield cover, you have to be careful to not have any exposed wire, I used electrical tape to pad the edges of the cover over the motor wires where it touches the ESC board
Hello, after upgrade my avata to axisflying 3.5” how to make sure every file recorded directly go into microsd? Because all my video go into internal storage, any settings about it?
I have some issue with the GPS. Before flying it's fine and after the motors turns and I flight, I have a big loss of GPS. Trying keep further the cable but it's better but not enough. What who you do ? Isolate the cable with something ?
Please help. I took this apart several times and had to replace the wire for the pigtail. I used 20 gauge amg copper wire and now the goggles say low voltage when flying. Is it because of incorrect wire? The drone flies very sluggish and the battery is hot after 2 min of flying.
Hello, thank you for this tutorial, I was able to install the kit without problem and the AVATA is much better now :) I am having a problem with the USBC extender, I soldered the wires correctly but it does not work, I I've tried everything and I can't find the solution. When I connect a direct cable it works, but not through the extension provided. Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Christophe.
my question may be silly, because I don't know about electronics. But what if I simply cut the wires from the original motors and solder them with the new ones, without the need to solder directly to the central board?
Hi axis flying I’m having trouble with the installation hoping someone can help. I’m getting a battery communication error . I’ve checked if small battery cables are mixed up and they are not they are correct. What could be the issue, thank you!
Dear, I bought the axisflying 3.5 with the c157-2 motors and the drone flew well, but after the second battery it sent me an overheating message and it fell to the ground.... the EC burned and the seller told me that the motors were not compatible with that version of EC... from midrone, the issue is that there is no compatibility matrix for axisflying motors with EC versions of the Avata, mine is BC2246.07 and watching your video It is version BC2252.07, there is a problem with the indicated version.
Hello Axisflying, i have an error message "error propulsion system" where i have make the mistake ? all my esc are wiring properly, where can i touch for repair it and flying ? Thanks for your upgrade kit and the tutorial
I mounted exactly as you did on this video, and when i armed the drone on Normal mode, the drone took off yaw spinning into the sky on a fly away. I was able to disarm it and recover it, but I burned a motor. Do you know why that might happen? I am wating for a new motor. Your feed back would be very helpful.
Did you fix this issue? I am having the same problem after installation. Propellors seem to spin exactly in the opposite direction of the original Avata. When i mount the propellors so they are pushing air down, when the Avata lifts off it gets in to a crazy yaw spin and flies away uncontrollable.....
@@chagay yes I had mounted them in the wrong orientation, they are props in (meaning the lead side of the prop should ve spinning in) with the bulged side of the prop facing up. If you are getting an out of control yaw spin, it means all the props are in the wrong direction. So try that.
@@leonardothillet6423 I figured it out: The motors should spin exactly like they did on the original avata. I wired all motors wrong, the 3 wires were inverted, hence i needed to mount the props exactly opposite of the original avata. Essentially making the avata think it was flying upside down.... After rewiring all motors, they turned the right direction and my axisflying avata took off correctly and hovered perfectly. Thanks :)
@@axisflying840 yeah but the drone is much bigger now than stock and I wanted to know if you have ever done it because I can’t fit the drone in my bag anymore
Στο πέταμα εν θα καταλάβεις διαφορά επειδή εν guards, όι ducts. Η μόνη διαφορά ενναν ότι εν πιο επικίνδυνο στα ζωντανά τζαι εννα σπάζουν πιο έυκολα οι προπέλλες
All c157 motor owners beware. You have to buy the New c157-2 motors as well. The frame kit description sucks because it does not say this is MANDATORY.
Hola,Arme el avata 3.5 el drone sin gopro vuela , con la gopro pierde estabilidad y se viene abajo💥 no tiene un vuelo confiable, le cuesta quedar es posición GPS. El tiempo de vuelo bajo a 5min😢
Ugh… I have an Avata and a FPV and I gotta do something similar to a spare FPV I bought with a broken arm. It’s broken on the frame of the drone. Fun times ahead…. Lol
but why? the dji camera is great. and if your upgrading that to slap a go pro on top, wouldn't you just buy a different fpv drone for less money? What am I missing here?
I see many benefits! for example, more thrust (positive in many aspects), better flight characteristics, can lift better camera etc. Cheap upgrade for a way more complete cinewhoop.
Frame broke first low speed impact, this plastic part of the frame is not good at all. They should have used harder plastic like Avata or carbon fiber. I am not happy with this mod, stick with motor only upgrade so you can have the orig frame intact. Video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zZ_97twNYeQ.html
Watching this gives me too much anxiety. The thought of taking my drone apart like this and not knowing if it will fit together and work properly is a big fat NO from me
The point is that a lot of people spent money already on the Avata not knowing that it had a design flaw and could fall out of the sky, now you can upgrade it to help prevent that
@@alex-m-jones it’s a Cinewhoop there’s no design flaw it’s not made to fly like a race Fpv . The prop wash does this with any whoop with a propwash . It’s simple aerodynamics . Take the guards off and it will fly pretty fast with out a roll over. Anyone that builds fpvs knows this.
@@alex-m-jones fly it slowly with zero wind turbulence like how a Cinewhoop is basically design for and you won’t get roll over. I think avatas design flaw is the gps that doesn’t always work when flying indoors, it’s crap
@@freshcoastfpv No you’re wrong about this, I have had it flip over on me going nearly straight and then getting hit by a little gust of wind.. Pretty much any other cinewhoop wouldn’t do that and the firmware fix dji released for it sucks because it doesn’t fix the problem it just kicks you out of manual mode and sometimes crashes anyways, or flies 100 feet in the air if you bump into something.. I don’t know about you but to me that’s a design issue.
@@alex-m-jones I don’t care for the Avata I use custom built Cinewhoops and have been flying them for a long time now. I can’t really fly in wind because I get that prop wash. But I just use them for flying outdoors to indoors. Once I’m inside and there’s no wind or flys so much smoother. I think the avata itself is a complete joke , lol
The kit is horribly difficult to build ! No information on the length of wires, steps stupidly ordered, heat shrink diameter too small, etc. It is been prepared with rush just to be the 1st company to release such kit. I have build tons of quadcopters, this one is absolutely no fun to build. And why not proposing to conformal coating while disassembling ? It would help waterproofing.
Hi everyone! After many difficulties to change to axis, I want to explain to you so that you avoid the same mistake as me! - avoid soldering the motors directly on the ESC, i burned my card because of that even though i was very delicate with my soldering. it's a very fragile esc. if you burn, contact dji, the customer service will sell you an esc (50€) - solder the motors in the same direction as those you remove. I made the mistake of soldering the motors in reverse so the drone did not take off but sucked the ground - be very careful when you remove the cables with pin of the camera and the gps module, it is very fragile and I broke a pin... - when you close the drone, be careful not to jam the gps cables, it can cut them ...
