Thanks for sharing this info. I’ve always mounted and secured my air units in a similar way, but the antenna trick is definitely something I’m going to try. When I get home tonight, I’m gonna try to tape my 03 camera in a Moongoat. If it works it could be a game changer for me. Thanks again
This is super helpful I finished my Demi and have a few caddy and frames I’m for sure going to save this video for whatever frame I choose next. Good stuff man
You can use this setup for Vista too! Awesome builds man. Thanks so much and have a good one!
I love these kinds of tips, thanks Phantom
Me too! Haha. Thanks so much Kestrel. Got any recommendations for the next?
@@PhantomFPV can you show how you actually mount the camera? I mounted one in my source one frame with the double sided tape but you must be mounting both plates outside the frame, with the tape then place the camera and side plates on the frame?
@ Phantom your a legend! I requested this and just a few days later you do a video about it! Absolutly insane, thank you so much for that! I Hope many other people also will enjoy these infos! Keep Ripping
Haha! It was a great recommendation big dog! Thanks so much. You never really know who needs help on what. Hope you have a great week buddy!
@@PhantomFPV thank you!! ✌🏼got an apex evo today will buildt one and compare
If i ever switch to O3 these tips will come in handy! THX!
You can use them for analog or Vista too. I did. Thanks so much FPVSlice!
@@PhantomFPVwhere ya been dude I'm missing the phantom vids
dont have an 03 yet but theres alot of great info you give that ill def use on my current builds, thanks so much! 🙏
You’d love it. I’m rocking mine still. Haven’t broken any yet. Super clear too. Oh, and ALL the latency as you can tell hahaha! Thanks big dog!
Thanks for that,I would have never thought the O3 was that durable.
I’ve yet to break one. Some have they tell me. Guess I’ve been lucky. Running strong so far. Thanks so much my friend!
Thanks for tips. Can be used by Vista too. Good luck for you.
These are facts big dog. Same same. Thanks so much and have a great day!
Thanks a bunch for all the tips, Phantom! 😃
But yeah, that double sided tape is fantastic! I've never had any issues with it.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank YOU MC’s for the love and support. That tape works for me. Thanks so much and stay safe as well!
thanks buddy boy need to make an 03 discus soon!
Yeah man, you know that’s right. Better get hot haha! Thanks so much Toronto FPV!
I may not fly DJI but I found this informative and useful all the same, it’s gonna be helping out many people 👊
Awe yeah! Time to make that switch! Haha. Thanks so much Mr Magoo! Stay fly brotha.
It’s helpful with other stuff to
Antenna protection is a must. Nice video.
These are big facts! Thanks so much.
if u fly freestyle build this bomb proof quads. always nice to watch your videos.
Yes sa!! Thanks so much Jansen. Appreciate that love. Been breaking stuff a long time haha. Have a good one.
Nice! Double side tape for the win. The friction tape is nice touch. I use the same antenna holder for analog. Use a stubby luminaire fits in nice I do need to run that glue tho.
Yeah man, that glue will save your ace! Glad it’s working for you Flanny. Killing it bro! I know I already said that but you are! Stay in it! Thank you sir!🦄🦄🦄💸
Yo man, tanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Have a great day.
See, I don’t feel bad now doing my own southern engineering. Infact, damn proud 👊🇺🇸…that reminds me……. I need some more friction tape
These are facts! Haha. Great minds think alike is what I say. Thanks so much Mountaineer! Have a good one.
Thanks for the tips cheers
Thank YOU for watching! Have a great day.
I mount the vista in the apex the same way but I run two screws too. Looks like I could prob get away with just the tape. Great video P. I need to check the o3 out. Happy Flying!
Tape is great! But you hit hard things fast too so double is better than nothing. Thanks brother man, hope the family is healthy and happy!
Phantom, we need more Content! I like your content ..and there is nothing new!😀
It's coming big dog! Had to take some time off. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!
So glad I waited for 03 I really like and it's nice to see it's handled the Phantom treatment but there's some older drones that are HD backwards compatible and that also is very cool. I will also be stealing your antenna idea😂👍
What’s mine is yours big dog! Glad you’re liking the O3. Thanks so much and have a good one.
I put e6000 on my antenna like you. And WOW!!!!!. I live in NJ. With 80ft trees. And I plowed through about 20 of them since I did that. And never lost a antenna or my elrs antenna either. Did the same thing. Now I use that shit on everything.
Humbled! It's magic fo sho! Really glad to hear its working for you. Thanks so much and keep wipping those trees!
That's impressive. Good to know info. Love the O3 air unit. Heck I love the Vista. Apex, Ultra with Vista is my primary build. You using the Impulserc rubber isolators to hold the Ultra fc? Happy flying Phantom. 👍🤓
These are all facts! Yes, I run the runner standoffs. Have with great success for about 3-4yrs now. Thanks so much John!
Very good overview!
Great idea on using friction tape for the MIPI, I have been using Kapton. Excited to try your idea out, it will hold much better, for the basher builds.
Everything else I do basically the same… except I use greased/loctite metal or stainless nyloc nuts. I just so happen to have a bunch of long M3 titanium bolts and nuts, so I just use that for 90% of my stacks.
Basically every time I don’t need 12.9 carbon steel hardware.
I also traditionally use aluminum bolts for the motors (but only when the heads are protected with slides), to prevent ever loosening and loosing a motor.
That’s my experience.
Happy flying!
Thank you my friend! Glad to eat it was helpful and that you’re already implementing these techniques already. I hope you have a great day as well!
@@PhantomFPV hello sir! I took the screws out of my Geprc Mark 5 to adjust camera angle of O3 unit, I set it as I wanted, now I wanna put the screws back ( they are all exactly same, 4x ) and they just stuck half way??? Like I can screw them back in just a little bit and then they both stay in the same spot leaving like 3mm gap to the actual drone. I tried to push a bit heavier but no help and also don’t wanna try pushing really hard and break the camera lol. What is going on? Please help me I beg you I’m losing my mind I got this drone 7th day now and I still wasn’t out flying cos there is ALWAYS a problem. I just finally charged my bats, set everything on Beta Flight and now this💩. Omfg…. please help 😞
@@SLOSHPLOP Merry Christmas! Is it safe to assume you replaced all the TPU or spacers for mounting the camera?
@@PhantomFPV I was out today, had a nice trial flight, landed fine ( as I was maybe half a meter above the ground I double clicked my disarm AUX 4 button ) and it did cut it off -> the drone dropped down fine but then as it dropped and was on the ground it was still all shaky with motors running like it’s ready to take off any time again O.O I was like what the hell… I kept pressing disarm button twice multiply times, but I only could see “Motors started” every time I was trying to do that, would never see “Motors stopped” notification -> THEN I wanted to see if it’s gonna go up again and it did as expected but it also flipped in the process so now it’s upside down - I again tried to disarm multiply times as it’s flipped, then of sudden the motors start reving like crazy, I tried to disarm one more time ( exactly same way as the entire time ) and it finally stopped…
I could hear motors sound fading away and finally ve seen “motors stopped” notification popped out.
Why did that happen? Whats the problem? It must got “disarmed” mid air when I tried to disarm for the first time, but it seemed or felt like as soon it touched the ground - the motors went back on... It literally cut the power, dropped down as if it’s off, but the motors were still running and it took me about 10 attempts of trying the same thing( double clicking AUX4 which is my disarm button ) but it wouldn’t go off, till it finally did.
Why it didn’t go off right away?!
Thanks for tip 💰💰💰💰
You’re very welcome Sully! Hope you’re doing well brotha man! 😉💸💸🦄🦄🦄
Hi Phantom, thanks for the videos, really a fan :) What motors do you use? Any favorite that stands the abuse?
They’re the Zip POPO Pros V2. The newer Zips are not as strong. Thanks a bunch big dog!
I’ve just joined the dark side to man it’s rocking for sure. Next level man I figured if phantom rocks it it’s gotta be good. 👌and the xlite pro 😂😂
Welcome to the wild side my main man!!! Haha. Awe yeah, got to be good! Thanks so much Noisy.
I saw the real deal, get it fixed up right to stay in flight! 👍🏼
Yes you did! Need you as my primary camera man! Haha. Thanks so much Dad! Love you!❤️❤️🦄🦄🦄
I wanna see a video on the new evo frames. havent seen one yet which is surprising. Looks pretty cool. I almost got the 03 but went with walksnail instead. Getfpv had a bundle with the fatshark goggles and a vtx and antennas for a really good deal. Couldnt turn it down
Gotta go with what works for you. I’ve not flown the Evo because is still have a few HD’s left over. Maybe one day. Thanks so much!
Phantom you are amazing. Thanks for all the tips, one quick question. Do you think that if your frame was the ApexDC you would brake more parts, lower plate etc? Standard Apex behaves better in crashes ?I am trying to decide which one to pick
Thanks so much, and you're very welcome! Not sure on breaking more parts. I've only flown the HD Apex. Figure they'll be on par with each other. Stay in it!
awesome video buddy! question is, for a newbie, is the vista still good enough?
Not a newbie question at all. Yes, the Vista is still baller. I used this exact method with my Vista’s as well. Thanks so much!
Good video, great input brother. Have you scratched up many 03 lenses? Or do you run protection?
No sir, I have not. I do have some with sand etching tho. That’s been the worst. Still running that cam tho. Funny story, that particular camera was etched from my very first ever O3 flight haha. Thanks brotha man! Hope you have a great day!
Right on Dawg😮I do the same bro 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Booya!!! Supa glad to hear that FLYZONE. Thanks so much for the love mang.
Just the vid I needed to see this am, bro. So you’re not using any mounting screws to hold the camera in place, just double sided tape or did I miss something? That should definitely help reduce vibrations to the cam if that’s what you’re doing and sounds like something I need to try! I’m doing something a little different with this build and I’m mounting the O3 cam on the top plate in a cage to keep the props out of view since I don’t run an action cam. Thanks for the vid, Phantom. I’m gonna incorporate some of this into the build.
Yes sir, that’s correct. I don’t bolt in the cam. Everything is taped. Glad that’s working for you. Once I find something that works well, I rarely change it. Thanks so much my friend!
Man I gotta get some new dji goggles. I'm still on v2, my action 2 missed some good stuff at rampage would of been nice to have the 03 as back up
I’m still rocking the V2’s. It’s a baller camera setup. Yeah, I lost my best run too. Sucks. Thanks so much Austin! Killer edit on that power loop!!!
Miss you bud! hope all is well!
Missed you too brother! We back!!!!
Try the replacement antenna from flyfishRC - I found it to be a bit sturdier and cheaper. It performs about the same and they have a variant with shorter cables and stem.
That’s excellent feedback Der-v. I’ll look those up. How’s the build coming along? Thanks so much!!!
@@PhantomFPV finally managed to order an ultra last week! 👍
Could you by chance share the fc to esc wiring from the fixer reaper to the fettec G4 fc
I'm still holding onto my V2/Vista setups with the nebula pro. Holding on till the bitter end!! 🤣 You switch to the new goggles as well?
Do it! Haha. You can use this method with the Vista. Thanks so much my main man!💸💸🦄🦄
Phantom for President '24
Hahaha! Yes sa! You know I'm down! Stay fly Grambo!
And i'm here babying my 5" inch, cleaning it and such... And then there is that: get them as dirty as you can :D but great info, know what to do in the future if I get other frames
Hahaha! Na, quads were made to abuse. Go getchaself some!!! Thanks a bunch .
Hi Phantom I got myself a beta FPV drone and would like to learn a few tricks which are easy for a beginner?
Awesome! Welcome to the hobby. Jump on the simulator to skill up fast. I've got some beginner tutorials in my Playlists you should check out. Thanks so much!
Hi…what benefit do you get using the Action 2 that offsets the weight increase of the A2? Different camera settings?
Why not convert to Apex Evo?
The lighter weight camera makes a huge difference. The actual camera performance is lower than GoPro tho. I’ve got too many standard Apex’s to switch. I don’t bolt my cameras in either so it’s really a waste of money for me. Thanks a bunch my friend!
Antennas are first thing to go in a crash for me. Have you tried aftermarket antennas for the 03 at all?
I have not but some folks have recommended one I plan to test. Such good range on stock, haven’t felt the need to tho. Thanks so much!
Hey bud do you run your action cam and fpv cam at 45? I been running 45 and love it but thinking action cam at 40? what you like? lol just hard to go slow now!
Na, I run the GoPro cam at 20* and the flight cam at *40-45. Hope you’re well brotha man! Been a minute. Can’t go slow!!! Thanks big dog!
Wich is the doble sided tape thikness? You have a link of it? Thanks phantom
It’s really thin. The 3M VHB foam 15# grey double sided tape. Thanks so much my friend!
Phantom, where are you at buddy! I’m missing you.. let’s do some content bro
Appreciate the love big dawg! Hopefully something will drop soon😉
Damn dude 500 packs on Somthing that only came out this year 😂 that’s how you get so good
Haha! Yes sa! Ripping ALL the packs on it. Hope you’re doing well GLOOR fpv! Thanks so much and I hope you’re doing well.
What’s the frame with the arm braces? That might just be my next frame
Apex 7” HD. Thanks so much for the love!
Hey bub big question!! Apex hd or apex evo?? Which one u think??
Apex HD for me. I tape my cams in so the Evo doesn't do anything for me. Thanks a bunch!
Do you have any solution for Lens protection / Replacemant?? this is my main problem with the o3
Slide it back away from the nose. This is one of the reasons I tape mine in place. Hope that helps. Thanks a bunch!
Dude where the hell have u been?! I hope all is well with ya brother!! Remember uve been my favorite pilot since the beginning and i wanna make sure my dude is doing ok?!
Yo!!! Dizzy! Thanks so much for the love and for checking in. How the heck have you been. Sorry to have ghosted you big dog. Hope the holidays were good for you.
@@PhantomFPV hey dude sometimes life gets in the way......but I miss watching all your content because it totally inspires me to push harder. You know your one of the goats in this hobby. Hope your holidays were awesome homie......later
Bullet proof!! What about the electrical part? Anything different there? BEC or Direct to 6S?
Direct to 6s with a cap on the ESC. I also run spike absorption. Thanks so much my friend. Oh, check out my video from a few months ago called building a bomb proof quad. I cover everything in there.
@@PhantomFPV thanks man! Watching it now.
2:30 so you don’t use any metal nut anymore, you run the countersunk screw (shortest one for the apex) then use a nylon nut? And then a oring for the Esc mount? Today I started my new buildt and it’s my first kiss ultra buildt I noticed that with a metal nut it’s impossible to still get an oring or something to dampen the Esc from the screw…..
Now I think about unscrewing the frame again and also go with a nylon nut if you do it that way…but does the nylon nut not get loose? And also you can’t tighten the screws very strong from the stack ( I thought it’s needed on the apex because the countersunk stack screws they are not flush with the frame and you screw them to the bottom part (I hope you get what I mean) and compress that all together…. After kiss ultra discord I was convinced going withouth dampening but it feels not good to me having the Esc on just hardmounted on Metall nuts
I definitely get what you’re saying. Out of 10 pilots you ask, 9 will say I’m doing it wrong. However, I’m a basher pilot and fly more packs than any normal human should, and likely more than those you ask about proper stack assembly. That being said, I don’t have an issue with the plastic nuts coming loose. If you’re careful, you can actually get them pretty tight.
The nice thing about an Apex frame is those four screws have zero structural function. So they could literally be flopping around in there and your frame would still remain tight. So long as you built it properly.
I fly with badly bent motor bells, bent props, broken everything and my tune is still magical. If you’ve watched my videos, you can hear it. It’s this way because I pay particular attention to how I mount my flight stack, and I tune my quad. Again, 9 out of 10 pilots will tell you it’s wrong, but my tune will confirm otherwise. (I’m kidding about the 9 out of 10 thing btw haha.)
I’d suggest trying it. You can always revert back to the original mounting method. Both will work.
I hope that helps a little. Thanks so much big dog! Let me know if you have any more questions.
@@PhantomFPV thank you! i will make two apex evo builds try the second with the nylon nuts as well :) can you tell me how you tune your Kiss ultra Setups? Is there any tutorial that you follow or how can I understand that aspect?
Thank you so much for always taking you time! love it
do run gopro with the o3 ?
I run the DJI Action, yes. Thanks a bunch big dawg! Have a great day!
do you know the exact m3 tape? they have dosends :D
3M 15# VHB foam double sided grey adhesive tape. Thanks so much my friend!
Hey buddy long time no video hope your doing ok missing the rippin
Big dog Belt! Thanks so much for the love. hope you're well too man!
Can we get a fresh rip soon Redski or not??. Asking for a friend 😉😉
Yes sa! Coming up real soon. Thanks for that love, and tell your friend I love them too!
The 03 is easily as tough as a vista... ive done everythin to it as i did the vista short of drowning it in mud and its survived all the same... (the vista survived drowning in mud haha)
Completely agree my man! I’ve yet to break an O3. Only trashed the cable. Appreciate ya big homie!
@@PhantomFPV if u cant break it.. lol
are you running caps with the 03?
I am. I tie the power to an ESC pad which has a cap one it. Thanks so much my friend!
@@PhantomFPV 👍🤘
Does que O3 fit the non hd apex?
It does but the sides will hang off the back about 1/8th of an inch. Thanks so much my friend!
@@PhantomFPV I will probably get the Evo kit. I first need to get the goggles and the O3 lol.
🤔Did you get your EOD friends to confirm that statement/ Title😜👊👊😎👌🍻
Hahaha! They approved! Thanks so much TrueFPVblood. Hope you’re well brotha!
@@PhantomFPV 😜👊👊😎👍
Gorilla grip is far better in every way the E6000! It holds better, yet its easier to remove, lol, i know that sounds dumb but it's true, and it dries to touch very quickly!
I've tried it and went back to E6000. Shooters choice really. Gotta run what ya brung. Thanks so much Digital!
@@PhantomFPVok, i was just making a recommendation for other builders, i kinda just yell out things and don't explain myself well... your a beast of a pilot and go through alot of parts i couldn't afford, I'm disabled so I'm very poor and very low income, i buy lower quality parts like skystars, jhemcu, lannrc, emax, brotherhobby and such, usually and got to get them to last, I'm a shitty pilot due to my disabilities though, but i love building along with flying, i build alot mostly for friends or to sell to support my addiction to the hobby, lol, i need to reuse as many parts as possible so i have take stuff apart frequently on my builds cuz i just buy $20-30 frames and $3-10 motors usually, thats why i recommended the removable type over e6000, gorilla grip is same thing as e7000 just easier to find at the store, they're just easily removable then e6000 and softer and stretchier, I've never had anything come apart prematurely using the removable type, i also use alot putting it all over my wires and edges of the boards and such to protect the electronics as much as possible to help them last, i just make sure not to use it on the chips that get hot so the heat gets let out, i go through a while tube every few builds, i also like that the removable dries in a fraction of the time, sorry for the rant, was just explaining why i prefer it for other builders that may see this...
Dude i miss you, everything okay?
I miss you too!!! Some tips will be coming up soon. Had to take a break to realize what I was missing. Thanks so much for checking in.
new video soon ?
Fingers crossed! Thanks so much my friend.
U still around bro? Miss your clips 😅
I’m around! You’ll start seeing some stuff real soon. Thanks for checking in and that love B! Sending love back. Stay up!
@@PhantomFPV Roger that! Summer been keeping my thumbs tied but meanwhile I always check in every couple days for a hearty dose of inspiration. Have a good one bro, see you soon then!
