I got a question about whether my FPV drone really ended up costing 15$. I thought I would clarify how I got to that number: The fpv camera/vtx combo (Eachine TX06) was sold on Banggood for 160 Swedish Crowns, equivalent of just over 15 USD. This might have been some sort of sale since the prices seem to have gone up since then but I don't remember exactly. The drone is a 10 year old children's toy I had laying around. Therefore I counted it as free for this build. Making the cost of my FPV drone, the cost of the camera/vtx --> 15$. I'm fully aware that 15$ might be on the low end for a build like this but after all this video is about my specific build, in which case the total cost was 15$.
New sub! Your vid was recommended..Been flying FPV quadcopters last 3 years, learned everything from scratch from UA-cam (soldering, tuning etc) but so nostalgic and refreshing seeing your ingenuity and storytelling! Keep up the good work!
Nice one man!!! Thats the basic of FPV!!! That eachine camera is the most reliable one ever. I still have them from 6-years ago and its still running fine! Great job man!! The most important thing is the enjoyment! And u looked like ur having a ton of fun doing this! Haha
Came for the clickbait, and stayed for the video. Even though it wasn't what I expected you did a good job with story telling and making it intesting. One suggestion is to shorten finding a 5v out source a bit and maybe cut you soldering because its boring. I enjoyed it and subbed
@@ViggenProductions trust me i once added a wifi camera to a drone with no altitude hold, and because of the delay of the camera it wasnt fun at all, but with a $35 altitude hold drone i even recordered decent quality fpv videos you can check out, and i even flew inside my house and that was also recordered
Ok, a very interesting idea I'm gonna try myself :D But also, never leave your goggles exposed to sun. I used to have these goggles like 2-3 years ago. And when I took off the lens, my friend found out that you can burn grass with it💀 PS, do you have a real fpv drone? If not, I really recommend you to buy like a meteor 65 pro or something small :D
Thanks for the warning. I didn't think about that at all 💀 Sadly I don't have a real fpv drone yet. I think a small tinywhoop-ish would be awesome to fly around the house. Thanks for the recommendation and good luck trying this! :)
I've tried to find the drone on Google but it just doesn't show up. "Silverlit Sky Drone" is what it says on the box if you want to try it yourself. It might be quite difficult to find this exact drone. If you'd like to try this I'd recommend looking for a drone with a "unlocked" or "manual" throttle for the best experience. Meaning it should not spring back to the center if you let go. I hope you find drone that works for you :)

If you're interested in building something like this I'd recommend searching around Banggood, Aliexpress and such chinese sites. I don't know what the prices will be in your country but try searching for "fpv aio camera" or something like that. I found a lot of alternatives as low as 20$, but if you have some patience you might be able to buy one for an even lower price. Best of luck :)
Sadly shipping would be rather expensive and inconvenient... Try find one of these small FPV AIO cameras on Banggood or aliexpress. Then you can make anything you want FPV :)
The camera transmitts the video signal on a specific frequency (unless you change it through a tiny button on the back of it). As long as the Googles are tuned to the same frequency they will see what the cameras see. The Googled remeber what frequency they were tuned to last time so yes, as long as you doesent change anything they find each other once power is applied. To bind them you can either manually switch through all the frequencies until you reach the right one or use the auto search function.
Okay this was an awesome video! I loved the storytelling and for a first timer you did really well! I hope you stick with it and maybe get a tinywhoop or small 3 inch drone. I recommend Liftoff as a good fpv simulator! Thank you for crediting me and I hope you keep it up!
Haha scetchy känns det absolut, det måste jag hålla med dig om. Jag har beställt två olika ordrar med flera månader emellan. Båda har kommit fram i bra skick och ingen har länsat mitt bankkort än 💀 Så även om det känns scetchy så har det funkat för mig. Tyvärr kommer jag inte ihåg exakt vad det tog att få hem grejerna. Räkna med runt en månad kanske? Men frakt från Kina kan vara väldigt opålitligt så det kan både gå snabbare och långsammare... Jag tror banggod har någon estimated shipping date när man väljer frakt. Den borde vara ganska korrekt. Satt TLDR sakerna lär komma fram men lite oklart när. Lycka till med vad du nu ska bygga :)
it's amazing. I found this video from workin computer where I'm not logged in with any account and found it with my personal computer just to put like on it. Intro is amazing btw. Best I've even saw

THere are still AIO cameras that sold for around $15 exist. I found this AKK BA2 200mW FPV sold on Aliexpress for $14.90
I cannot Lie. I did this back in 2015. I got a 3in1 FPV cam and mounted it on top of my Hubsan x4 drone and flew it FPV Most fun I've ever had

dude im subbed to you and viggen
Really well put together video for a small channel you gonna get larger soon for sure

I'm sorry for the clickbait, I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching :)
Nicely done!
You're so underrated only 70 views this video deserves min 1k
Thank you so much! Such kind words :) I hope you enjoyed it!
Subbed! Love the video! -from an FPV quadcopter pilot.
Also little tip, never point ur goggles screen to the sky, you’ll burn a hole through them :)😂
Yep I didn't think about that at all 💀
i’m so happy this got recommended
same
Fun fact.. one of my first fpv drones was a furibee f36 toy drone with a camera rubber banded on the top! It's a fun and easy way to get into it
😅 I, too, have used the quick and dirty "hot glue" camera mounting method.Works great until the VTX heats up and melts the glue.
Where is Bot grinder at?!
Working on a similar project for my daughters first fpv drone, good work young man
if you try this again with an altitude hold drone is way easier
It would be easier but it wouldn't be as fun ;)

Awesome video, glad I saw this :), subscribed
I did a similar thing with an RC car the other day, I’m hoping to make a video on it at some point
Thanks for watching! I've gotten ideas to fpv mod just about anything after this, planes, cars, boats you name it 😅 I'd love to watch that video :)
incredible mate, super creative!
I subbed faster than the speed of light. Also, can you put the link for the exact drone you used? I'd like to try this myself.

New Subscriber here😊, I'm also a UA-camr.
and your video deserves more views👍
Thank you! Thats great to hear! I checked out your channel too. You have a lot of fun stuff over there :)
it looks like the dji phantom
You are really cute ✈️
FPV drone man
Why does the video from such a cheap analog system look so good?
Although I have nothing to compare them to, I think the are great :)
i came here as a DIY enthusiast thinking you found components to build something for 15 dollars. shit clickbait, my dude
I did not mean to misslead anyone. I should have clarified the cost someware but I forgot :/

I really like this drone with the camera. Is there any way i could buy it? Thank you! I can pay you 60$
Sadly shipping would be rather expensive and inconvenient...

Hello, how did you bind the camera to the goggles? Once you bind it, does it connect with the goggles every time you apply power to it?
The camera transmitts the video signal on a specific frequency (unless you change it through a tiny button on the back of it). As long as the Googles are tuned to the same frequency they will see what the cameras see.
The Googled remeber what frequency they were tuned to last time so yes, as long as you doesent change anything they find each other once power is applied.
To bind them you can either manually switch through all the frequencies until you reach the right one or use the auto search function.
This took me back to my first days flying fpv 😁 amazing video! Keep going and you’re gonna do very well 😎
Vart i Sverige bor du?
I had no idea about this! I'm watching this now!
Okay this was an awesome video! I loved the storytelling and for a first timer you did really well! I hope you stick with it and maybe get a tinywhoop or small 3 inch drone. I recommend Liftoff as a good fpv simulator! Thank you for crediting me and I hope you keep it up!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! I'm really temped to get some sort of tinywhoop to fly around the house. This was great fun!
@@ViggenProductions the new micro drones they are coming out with are surprisingly capable indoors and outdoors
Hur lång tid tar det att få saker från banggood? Tänkte beställa en VTX/Cam kombo men hemsidan kändes sketchy XD

@@ViggenProductions Tack för svaret! Det blir förhoppningsvis en fin DIY fixed-wing drönare med fpv :)
it's amazing. I found this video from workin computer where I'm not logged in with any account and found it with my personal computer just to put like on it. Intro is amazing btw. Best I've even saw
This made my day! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Dude how the heck do you not have more subs???? This content is masterful! Well done 👌💯
Thank you so much!! I do my best :)
I am so grateful that the video was recommend to me by YT. You have a new subscriber 🙂
Aw that's awesome :) I hope you liked it!
Try Dji Phantom its way better
Well I believe every drone has its purpose. A phantom is lightyears ahead as an AP drone, but this one is way more fun to fly ;)
