I wasn't supposed to do it on the standard Odonata frame, but I wanted a tiny pocket ripper of an FPV quad for playing around in my front yard! CraftedKwads specifically designed a whole other version of this frame just for the added stress of going digital on such a small drone platform, but I ignored the advice and crammed it all in this little thing anyway. How does it fly you as? Well, lets find out together while I show you the build and walk you through why I made the decisions I did on this one.
Want to build it your self? While I am updating the website article mentioned in the video, here is the parts list.
Odonata (not HD) frame - bit.ly/40w7QDC
Darwin 15A AIO - bit.ly/3UWGbKW
Walksnail Avatar 1S kit - bit.ly/40pO7Wt
RCInpower 1002 19000kv motors - bit.ly/3n0Kicn
Gemfan 16mm props - prop bit.ly/40uZ5tJ
Race Day Quads 550mah XT30 1S LiPo - lipo bit.ly/3H55EMA
I did specifically leave the ExpressLRS receiver off of the parts list because I highly recommend that you use one with a flat antenna unlike what I used for this build.

Challenging build but kind of the future of micros. Kudos for making it happen!

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

hands down where things are going, especially this year. Gonna be really interesting to see what we can do with them 12 months from now!

@numberjuanfpv Год назад

I actually tried this a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't fit the camera and decided to move the components to a happymodel bassline. Very fun little quad.

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

It is like playing tetris for a bit, lol. I had to customize the mounts a tad, and even then it still hits the stack in the back so I am angle limited. I would rather have the lower angle and HD recording than go analog and get that angle adjustment back though. Now if I never wanted to share footage from it for videos like this, then I would probably go analog, save the weight, and just rip the heck out of it!

@squnxfisher9831 Год назад

I love how people get creative with this little guy. do stupid stuff and have fun doing it

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

its size inspires some ridiculous ideas, lol. It is pretty easy to get all of this stuff on a 2" quad, but the challenge of cramming into the smallest thing possible just plain fun sometimes!

@squnxfisher9831 Год назад

exactly this! I did a slammed Odonata HD with 10mm standoffs it truly was a challenge getting everything in there. my tiny X8 was interesting too.

@wearemany73 Год назад

If we recreate this, we’ll use a flat ceramic antenna. 🤔 Nice little build.👍

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

flat ceramic for sure!

@lemonsquareFPV Год назад

Remove tower, add 31mm wire Same for the video, just solder a 13mm piece of wire to the antenna feed on the VTX That’s how I build and get very good results. Plus it’s way lighter and more compact. And way more durable.

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

That is exactly what I am going to do the first time I rip one of these things off, lol. I have had more than sufficient results with those kind of antennas on these small things, and I would love to see more of them come with that pre-installed for simplicity!

@jlarson42 Год назад

So cute 😍 Just got my HD Zero goggles, need a micro for flying around my yard. I prefer 2" builds. My first open prop 2" was the Mantis85, it's now on display. Happy flying everyone. 🤓

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

it is a great move up from a whoop and can even take the same props if you are running a 75mm one currently. Kind of exactly where I was shooting for with this build!

@sunsetpark_fpv Год назад

I'm in the middle of making my Odonata. It gives me hope to see your build because I am also using 1002 20,000 kv motors and I'm worried about the weight. Thank you MBN for another great video! 😎

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

It should be one heck of a ripper!! This small little thing still spends a lot of time ripping with me in the front yard, even though I am building micros like crazy lately, lol.

@MichaelDFPV Год назад

I hear ya, regarding the constant wind outside. Where I live, we have always had a slight breeze but this year it's more of a constant higher than normal wind.

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

it makes flying pretty interesting. You get to go realllllly fast in one direction, and realllllly slow in the other direction. lol.

@chrisbee5481 Год назад

I liked that darwinfpv aio. As long as it worked 😢. The betafpv or happymodel 1S aio are also like a 30% risk they dont work properly. Next one to try would be the jhemcu 5a 1s aio. I also love that walksnail 1s vtx. You only have to watch out to get a good 1S lipo. Preferably not a HV. The tattu 500mah rline 1s are great. With the walksnail 1s the video goes out when you punsh too hard toward the last part of the battery. The voltage just sags too low. We just need a better 2.5" bi blade prop for a good backyard 1s ripper. Also some 1202 15000kv motors. 3" just needs a little more space.

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

I think this rig might pull a little too much for a 5A since it is a bit on the heavy side, but I know there are some 12A HM boards that may be a good substitution...if they work, like you said, lol. I am indeed running non HV packs on this for that very reason as well! :) I haven't had one of their 1S kits fail on me yet, and I have a hand full of them at this point. we shall see if my luck continues!

@earry509fpv Год назад

I’m getting ready to build an Odanata, was planning to use the HDZero 1s Whoop Lite!!❤❤😂😂

@billmcdonald4335 Год назад

Run it with a 2S pack for extended flight time. Just cut the motor output limit to 55% or so in the PID Tuning tab.

@kurtzFPV Год назад

That's a great little build. I just built out that frame a couple of months ago with 2S and the Happymodel X12 5 in 1 and 0802 16,000kv and it is a fun little yard ripper for sure. Unfortunately, I only have DJI, so my smallest non-whoop HD build is a 3" toothpick with 12025 6400kv. The little Odonata makes the yard feel so much bigger though, and I love the handling of the top mount battery too.

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

I think the x12 is a great choice! That would be what I would have gone with if I wasn't after such a high amp limit out of a whoop mounted board. I really do love how it makes a small place feel much bigger, and im gonna keep ripping it just for that reason!

@MystikSquash Год назад

A mini brick 🧱 I think it would be called a lump of charcoal, a.k.a. Briquette 😊 cool little build ninja! I’m really wanting to try some new goggles so I can fly smaller craft in digital. I’ve been on the original DJI fpv System for 3 years now and I still love them but I am totally wanting to try the HDzero and walksnail systems. Before I dive into the O3 systems 😅 I can’t get away from the quality of DJI but I hate the latency and I can’t fit them into a super small airframe.

wow thats cute

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

it sure is!

@lostfpv Год назад

I have my mob 7 hd moved to the odanata and run both 2 s and 3 s on it. You need to remove the motor connectors and hard wire them, and I moved the camera in front of the frame. Think I post a pic before I hard wired the motors to your discord a while back 😊

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

I remember that! On a build like this, ditching the motor connectors would for sure be a must. I almost went the route of putting the cam outside the standoffs, but opted to just try and squish it in so that I could protect it a little bit with the frames front end. You still rocking that Mob 7 conversion?

So cool! You have any video/ Timelapse how you build it? Great video’s!!!

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

I don't have any video of building unfortunately...but that is because I spent most of the time playing tetris to fit everything into it, lol. It would either be a suuuuper fast time lapse or a boring regular speed vid of me putting things in places until the frame would close up. I will have some more detailed pics on the website though when I get the companion article done!

@djdubz 2 месяца назад

great vid. where you been?! we need some bacon ninja videos!

@pipe2698 Год назад

Exactly the same but with aio, happymodel crossF4 or Betafpv Aio 5A would have been perfect!

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

Yeah I thought about a smaller more feature rich AIO, I just really like the 15A headroom on this one. The amp draw counter in the OSD shows it pull 12A pretty often, so a 5A would have popped pretty quick I think. Just big ol' motors and a chonky weight class.

@marinehm 7 месяцев назад

I just completed the same build: 2" Odonata with walksnail HD 1S VTX, Foxeer AIO, T-motor 1103 11,000kv motors on 2S batteries. Yesterday I was out testing battery sizes to see which one worked best in terms of weight -vs- flight time. I brought it in and landed in the grass. 1st battery, it stopped arming after that. I played with it some. I didn't realize until after I got home, that it had lost the ELRS bind. I'm wondering what/why the bind had to be "re-bound"? I watched your video on the different led flashing, and what they mean. I'm just curious why it would lose the bind. SUBBED!

@brundle_fly5123 Год назад

I have a similar Odonana built out analog with those same motors and props, and she RIPS! (but in scrambled cable porn view)

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

lol, hey that scrambled view just makes it feel retro! Feel the nostalgia :p But seriously, the motor and prop combo on this thing with the lighter weight would be an absolute ripper, so I bet that thing is helluh fun!

@kandredfpv Год назад

You flying the little bugger with Avatar goggles or the VRX? How are you finding it?

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

I am running the VRX for this one. The firmware updates have made the smearing quite a bit better, and although I can feel the latency of the lower frame rate mode it isn't as bad as it was when I was first testing. The future of Walksnail is looking pretty good at the moment!

@DigitalCruzer Год назад

i break off every one of those ceramic antennas, they crack when you bang into anything, easy fix, just solder a wire in place of it, i wonder if the tower can be encapsulated in a glue, like gorilla grip or epoxy?

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

yeah the first time I have an issue with it, the fix is going to be a wire antenna for it, lol. It would be cool to see some testing on how epoxy impacts signal quality specifically for these kinds of antennas. Maybe I will figure out a way to do that!

@KOrnhOliO1 Год назад

But, does Walksnail's 1080p actual LOOK LIKE HD now? Cuz, last time I heard about 1080p from WalkSnail, it wasn't any better, actually worse, than their 720p.

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

It still has a little bit of the melt zone in places, but I do have to say it is better than it was back at the very beginning of the year. They are really hitting the firmware updates, and it feels like that has been a big focus for them. It is for sure better than 720p, but not quite as good as DJI O3 in 1080p mode. Still though, the on board recording is pretty darn good for a little quad that could slide right into your pocket!

@KOrnhOliO1 Год назад

@boujeful Год назад

why don’t you go 2s?

@BaconNinjaFPV Год назад

Mostly the pack weight really. This quad already weighs quite a bit more than it was designed for, so doubling up the pack weight would really make it fly pretty terrible. I could technically go up on the prop pitch and motors to compensate, but there is just only so much you can do for it with this size prop. Staying at 1S with it seemed to put it in the zone I was targeting for the all up weight and minimal impact to flight characteristics :)
