    That talon and josh’s build was pretty sweet. Would like to see something like this but with a drone chasing them and filming

    that was fun, but i still didn't get a feel for the zies goggles. f.o.v.? etc.?

    The power setup for the Talon (Chad's plane) was not efficient. A 3542 800kv motor turning a 13x8 propr on 4S cruises with 10000mah capacity around 5A-6A. I think Chad's talon was likely fitted with a too high KV motor and should have been using a 13 inch prop. The 12 inch prop needs to turn faster and with the 2.5-3.5kg AUW the Talon flies with, the setup was not efficient.
    People regularly fly Talons over 200km round trips with 30000mah onboard with the above setup I described. Cruise speed is around 65-75km/hr.

      its worth it though because it said oled meaning that the screens are flexible so u wonlt crack them and they are also probably curved

  • @topxe.
    @topxe. Před 10 lety +16

    Wow those Zeiss glasses are ridiculously expensive

  • @B0M0A0K
    @B0M0A0K Před 10 lety +3

    Wow, just seen the price of the Zeiss Cinemizer OLED goggles. Amazon market place price at 749USD - there'd be nothing left to buy the aircraft and associated parts. Why don't you guys do a video on setting up FPV from scratch on a budget?

  • @cloudsplitter24
    @cloudsplitter24 Před 10 lety +2

    I think the Super Sky Surfer would be a good FPV platform. I saw one at HHAEFI at it looked great! I agree, those Zeiss glasses look cool!

  • @brianhaygood183
    @brianhaygood183 Před 10 lety

    There is just enough room on the Tarot gimbal to plug in an angled USB cable IF you trim the connector slightly. I swap plugs regularly to switch between USB connected to my camera switcher and USB connected to a PC for download.
    The reason the gimbal is made with tight spacing there is so the gimbal is balanced well. The lens is basically centered on the tilt axis. Basically, with the body of the GoPro sticking out to the right and the gimbal motor closely spaced on the left, the gimbal is balanced with the lens centered on the tilt axis.
    I don't like that the newer Tarots need tiny hex screws undone to remove the camera, but others have replaced that clamp with a removable O-ring.
    Fun episode, guys! Great info on a lot of stuff here!

  • @christianjensen7272

    Love seeing you guys do formation FPV, and with 3 different models its perfect :D.

  • @tomsunax
    @tomsunax Před 10 lety

    Chad's camera angle is good evidence that those domes and clear canopies are out of the question if you care at all about the recorded video

  • @ant0nsmith
    @ant0nsmith Před 10 lety

    Just a thought for the GoPro gimbal issue. Perhaps you could set the GoPro in "upside down mode" and then the usb port would be on the other side.

  • @xnewethicx
    @xnewethicx Před 10 lety

    Just a quick suggestion, you could still tap into the GoPro with the Tarot by turning the GoPro upside down, and in the settings on the camera, change the up/down orientation. That way, your plug is still available, and you're not viewing upside down! (I do this with one of my quads on a gimbal all the time :)

  • @van1976

    Nice video, nice flying...I bought the "Nano-Falcon" (indoor) helicopter (world's smallest helicopter) over the weekend ($40)..it flies great, very responsive, great design, highly recommended...put it on your Christmas list.

  • @Asadullah21
    @Asadullah21 Před 10 lety

    I Just got this amazing idea for the next episode, thumbs up so flitetest can see. Make a floating ring racetrack with balloons and cardboard. So basically you take cardboard, cut it up to make a large ring and reinforce it. Then you use bright tape and cover it. Tie a few balloons to the top of it and tether it with string from below. You put 10 or so going in a large circle and race through them using fpv.

  • @CrackerMcGillicuddy
    @CrackerMcGillicuddy Před 10 lety +1

    I also love Insta Morph. I bought it because of Chad. Very good episode guys. I just ordered some of your tricopter parts. I'm Andy in Meadville, about 2 hours away.

  • @madyet5235
    @madyet5235 Před 9 lety +7

    Hey not sure if you guys have done it, but with your ability to reach out to your viewers, could you guys do a video where you have all the components to build an fpv system and show how to install it and what all the components are? if that makes sense. The whole fpv system confuses me but i wanna get into it.

    • @AlexKettersonIsawesome
      @AlexKettersonIsawesome Před 9 lety +2

      Mad Yet Me too, I would love a basic FPV setup video with a list of stuff to buy to get started.

  • @Goflyingbear
    @Goflyingbear Před 10 lety

    The tarot gimbal has a USB cable that plugs into the side if the hero3. It can charge and send video out.

  • @dolbyac3
    @dolbyac3 Před 10 lety

    Josh Bixler said it was not possible to get video out from the GoPro on his tarot gimbal. You can get video output from the USB connector on the side and tarot makes a low profile connector and its available on amazon. Just search "Tarot Gopro usb video" and you'll find it.
    The cable will provide analog video and you can also send back 5v to the camera and keep it charged from a BEC too.
    You can also make your own gopro USB video cable just search google.
    Love your youtube videos especially anything FPV or multi-copter related!

  • @maxsmodels
    @maxsmodels Před 10 lety

    Awesome. Too bad you guys could not get a 3 plane vic formation going and do a low pass.

  • @liammyers1739
    @liammyers1739 Před 10 lety

    David, Josh and Chad please do a video on the fpv setup all 3 of you were using including ground stations :) Looks like a really good setup.

  • @jeffdyck131
    @jeffdyck131 Před 9 lety

  • @miroslavpokorny7145
    @miroslavpokorny7145 Před 10 lety

    Ive got another gimbal with the same problem, cramped space that limits the option of placing a regular HK gopro 3 cable. To get it to fit i stripped the black outter plastic leaving just the white inner plastic. Shave it just enough and you can make it fit.
    I wished the pitch motor was placed on the right leaving the left busy Gopro side free and open. Yes i know it will be off center but thats an easy fix.

  • @rsprague1
    @rsprague1 Před 10 lety +2

    Josh/David, you did a review awhile back on the RV Jet as a FPV SETUP. Any reason why someone did not use that one for a comparison?? It seemed like, in the review, that the RV Jet was quite stable and a pretty good option.. Just was wondering if it is still an option that you would suggest?? Thanks,
    Ron

  • @B0M0A0K
    @B0M0A0K Před 10 lety +1

    Good video, so the Zeiss goggles are an alternative to Fatshark and similar products? The InstaMorph product Chad is talking about is also called "Friendly Plastic" and can be found at many suppliers. It's commonly used in the hobby jewelery and rapid prototyping community.

  • @jamblor
    @jamblor Před 10 lety

    Fantastic episode guys!

  • @rckeith
    @rckeith Před 10 lety +3

    Enjoyed the episode. I think the biggest thing stopping most people getting in to FPV is the price of the goggles. I've seen some alternative ways on youtube and think it would make a good episode if you guys did a show on that theme.

    @annevisscher8206 Před 10 lety

    Nice comparrison guys! Chad, would you like to try again and show us your plane's capacities with hatch? Considering the weight of your's, the efficiency's parameter for cruising amperage would still be quite high. But none the less, worth trying?..

  • @applesworld
    @applesworld Před 10 lety +1

    InstaMorph goes by the brand name of Polymorph here in the United Kingdom.
    The DIY Electrical parts retailer Maplin Electonics sells it in all their stores and it is available online. Maplin source the product from Middlesex University teaching resources Ltd.
    As Chad said, it's amazing stuff! it fuses at around 60*C . It is packaged as opaque white granules, when it's hearted in hot water it comes together and turns transparent, you then mould it form it or whatever you want then as it cools it turns back to an opaque white.
    I use it for all sorts of things and it's re-usable as many times as you want, just pop it back in how water a while and it becomes pliable again to form into something else. I've made solid dental impressions with it, phone holders, camera holders, switch gear, connectors, all sorts! It's cheap too !
    Chad please do a video of how to use it, what to use it on, and any neat ideas you've used it for :)

  • @lcduncan92
    @lcduncan92 Před 10 lety

    is there any way you guys can do a motor/frame sizing episode? Like what makes a 450 sized helicopter a 450? Or a .40 sized engine what it is, or a 500 sized tricopter? Like I understand the size difference of a 450 heli compared to a 500, but I can't seem to find why they got all the sizing numbers

  • @FloydStandiferIV

  • @flyinghighrc

  • @MichaelVanBladel

  • @kdanagger6894
    @kdanagger6894 Před 5 lety

    The Talon is by far the best (only) long range FPV platform in this comparison. You guys should have compared more real long range PFV platforms from X-UAV and MyFlyDream. These are the two companies that make the best REAL long range FPV ships.

    @seanjuan1973 Před 10 lety

    Pretty sweet! But at a price point of $700 - $1000 for a pair of goggles, I don't think I would want to invest in them for FPV especially since the video transmission can't use the full potential of them. Still pretty sweet, I could see them for a lot of other applications, just not FPV.

  • @dogdirt10
    @dogdirt10 Před 10 lety +1

    I noticed you did not compare the Zeiss to FatShark understanding that Zeiss sponsored the episode. considering that Zeiss is 2 times the cost of FatShark, is it worth the extra cash? The answer will show up in future episodes to see what you are wearing on your face:) The Planes?
    David. Face it Readymade makes good stuff.
    Chad. With the hatch missing,there was soooo much drag, no way you could give us a honest answer on how it flew.
    Josh. 3 Gopros out in the open one of them with a gimbal. A bunch of drag will slow down the airspeed.
    I keep searching for the ultimate FPV Plane, but my Bixler 2 is hard to beat!

    @JosephDawson Před 10 lety

    I have never seen video from a gimbal on an rc airplane. Gimbals are always on quads and helicopters. So how about posting the gimbal video somewhere so we can see what that looks like. Also I think you can put the GoPro in the Tarot gimbal upside-down and get access to the video out that way. (Yes you have to do gopro video flip but that fixes video for fpv as well.)

    I noticed when you guys are sponsored you really don't do a review on the sponsoring product. This is similar to the stingray review but without a an actual demonstration.
    Question:
    I keep hearing that GoPro is a rotten FPV camera due to the delay yet I keep seeing you use them - Why?
    I've never seen a cost/range for FPV gear - can you do a "best for price range" type episode?
