    In this video, we dive into the process of building a powerful 5-inch 6S FPV Freestyle Drone (quadcopter) for making cinematic flight video.
    I got inspired years ago seeing the stunning, cinematic flight videos of landscapes and even racing videos done by FPV drones back when they were getting popular. This year I decided to go all in and purchase some of the highest performing parts to build my first racing drone and get a sturdy start in the FPV hobby.
    The objective of this video was to share my experience of building and flying my first FPV drone, at the same time giving my insights and tips to inspire and help others get into the drone hobby as well.

    Nice build for a first one. Very neat and clean. You'll find that a majority of us couldn't care less about dirt and grass getting in the electronics. I've come home and you'd think the quad took a bath in dirt 🤣😂🤣. As long as it doesn't get too wet. Even the motors get covered. Just spin them a little and keep it moving. All that TPU covering things up looks nice but just adds unnecessary weight. If you have skids, no need for pads. Any weight savings you can make improves performance. Some guys suggest not allowing anything to touch the flight controller like wires crossing the top. The vibration can mess with the gyro. Best to run wires underneath above the ESC. The style vtx antenna on the SMA is different. Can't say I've seen that type used before. Most go with a stubby or lollipop. Something a little less prone to getting thrashed in a crash. There could be a risk of it getting snapped off. That would make for a bad day. My first flight lasted about 5 secs. Unlike you, I made the mistake of not knowing about fpv sims to practice. I thought my R/C plane experience would be enough. I was wrong 😂🤣😂🤣. Multirotors fly totally differently.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 11 měsíci +3

      Hi there! Thank you for the comment... I find the covers actually handy since I don't want the internal parts all covered in mud, scrap cleaning all that! 😂😂
      The drone is extremely jumpy and powerful already for me, that little bit of added tpu weight is not felt much, in fact it helps protect it rather than be an inconvenience (in my case anyway). However, I will consider removing unnecessary weight such as the LEDs (since I don't want to fly in the dark).
      Conformal coating the boards will probably be what it takes before I do consider removing the covers.
      About the antenna, I replaced it today with a Foxeer Lollipop antenna, works great improving the video signal 👍
      Thanks for your other tips mentioned above, I'll consider them.
      Be careful out there with your drone too! Sim practice is always beneficial before every real flight even if you're a rather advanced pilot. Especially if you haven't flown in a while 👍

    That is an awesome beginner setup, definitely better than mine. I do believe that you're gonna want to remove some weight once you get better, but the added protection seems like a good idea to get started. I love CNHL batteries btw.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Many thanks! Will consider dropping the LEDs and maybe the side covers in the near future as I get to fly more. CNHLs are dominating the market, sure are great choice of batteries. Cheers 👍

    @MJ-bj1gn Před 11 měsíci +7

    Well done, Max!
    For better range, I recommend a good rhcp antenna on the quad (like the foxeer lollipop, TrueRC singularity, Lumenier Axii2,..) and a pair of goggles with a module bay for an ImmersionRC Rapidfire will give you the best range

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 11 měsíci +5

      Just yesterday, I replaced the 2.4g antenna on the VTX for a foxeer lillipop. This has fixed the video feed issue 👍

  • @ynnus_
    @ynnus_ Před 11 měsíci +3

    just a suggestion, i saw in the bag that came with your rgb lights was some included race wire, i would solder the motors to those then solder from the racewire to the esc, if its inline between motor and esc and sits on top of your arms it will prevent prop strikes from ripping up your motor wires. if it wasnt racewire that was included i'd definitley get some you can get it on racedayquads for like $1.50

  • @HrDux
    @HrDux Před 11 měsíci +3

    I wouldn't put rubber grommets on the frame. Instead, use press nuts regular nuts so that the stack screws don't wobble around. It will make tuning your quad a lot easier. I can't believe GEPRC wants the stack to wobble around like that, but they do.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 11 měsíci +1

      I think it also comes down to preference. Personally, I think it's safer using this amount of grommets as it protects the flight controller and ESC stack from getting destroyed upon impact or shock. This of course only lasts if the stack is tightened down really well. Thanks for your tip, though!

    You have circular polarized antennas on the goggles and linear antenna on the drone. That’s why you don’t have a good video feed. Good quality circular polarized antennas are a must if you want good range no matter the drone orientation in space.

    • @MaxImagination

      Thanks for pointing this out! Just the other day, I changed out the 2.4g antenna for a circular polarized Foxeer Lollipop antenna.

    Loved the video! Very informative for beginners and fun for everyone else! The only thing i disliked is how you tightened the nuts on the motor. You only need it tight enough that the prop won't budge. The nylon insert will do the part of keeping it from vibrating off. Normally, you wouldn't need a locking wrench to hold the bell when tightening it

    Very clean build, however I don't think twisting the wires would do much in the way of reducing noise. You could shield the wires with some copper foil and solder a wire from that to a ground pad for actual rf shielding. You can also heatshrink it. It's the exact same thing that happens in USB cables.

      The side covers don't fully touch up against the VTX, plus, there's plenty of airflow underneath and from the back of the frame for the unit to breathe via its front and back holes (for LED). This wouldn't be my concern.

    did you have to do any additional ELRS configuring behind camera to the receiver to get it to bind to the controller?

      Yes, I had to find the correct communication protocol (SPI RX) and mostly play around with the lettered/numbered Channel Mapping to get the transmitter giving the right commands.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 8 měsíci

      Hi there. It's for stabilizing power at the flight controller board during high busts in current (lots of instantaneous power is pulled by the motors at times). It keeps things running consistently on the boards.

    Hi Max, thanks for sharing this video. I have a question, I noticed that you've worked with Arduino and I was wondering if you happen to know if I can build my own FPV drone with custom firmware (C or MicroPython). I'd like to build an FPV drone with GPS, long range data transfer, long lasting fly time, and the most important take advantage of AI, like OpenCV, to make it smart enough to make its own decisions. Do you have any idea? I know I can build a drone with Raspi Zero 2 W or Pico, install my own firmware, the big downside is how to program the ESC and other FPV parts. Thanks for your help

      Thanks. I suggest you check out other videos showing how to make a 4-5S quad. It's up to you whether or not you use an FPV camera on your drone, but it will 99% of the time be easier to control it with goggles on. FPV quads are super awkward to control without FPV.

    module?

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 3 měsíci

      Hi there. Before you can connect the Tx12 to the receiver, you need to follow the steps in this video to first configure the transmitter- czcams.com/video/8KaJOT190V0/video.html
      Then in your transmitter, you will find an option to bind with the receiver. The first time you do binding, plug and unplug the drone's power connector 3 times and then keep it plugged in for a rapid blinking green light. That indicates your drone is ready for binding. From there, proceed with binding in your transmitter UI.
