Nice work, I've built one similar in the Dave_C frame, but 3600kv motors. looking forward to your li-ion build guide Edit: i didnt know it was you who developed rotorbuilds, great work mate.
Thanks for this great video. When it comes to mounting your capacitor, it needs to be as close as possible to the board. Having it near the battery end makes it pretty much useless.
Question: I would like to have at least 10km range with fpv goggles. What is the cheapest solution? Goal is to inspect my land without using my car. Could I use BetaFPV VR02 and boost the signal for longer range? Image quality isnt a priority right now, I just want to get started with something long range.
Bottleneck is battery time , hardly 15 mins , there is some kits allows to 22km (max 30) at 150-180ms but there is no battery invented for it , even large battarys has small range due its weight
Hello whiffles just one question, would you think this build will be enough for mountain surfing and long range? Or would you say that o should stick with a 7 inch?
hey you said you could skip the reciever step if you're using the dji fpv controller. what did you mean by that? I'm going to basically create this exact micro long range build just with a dji air unit. do I use a different reciever?
Hey. I really like your videos. They are very well made and i appreciate the diversity of you drones. I have a question about the gogles. Does the gogle from you budget gogle video also work with this kind of drone? Or does only the dji gogle work?
I just put out a video about the Li-Ion batteries and I've got some flight time info in there. Using a 3S Li-Ion battery on these motors I'm getting about 15-20 minutes, but 3850kv will get a bit more.
Having your crossfire antenna right up against the video antenna will effect the radiation pattern (and swr) of your video antenna (and possibly also crossfire antenna).
@@whiffles It would be handy if TBS, or anyone, made a 1/2 wave, ground-independent, end-fed vertical antenna for 900mhz (I guess it would need a matching circuit to swr it in).
@@whiffles the link in your guide has the GPS mount but looks like one piece per that airbladeuav site. I had already ordered it but thought there was a second part I needed to order after watching your video.
Awesome build! So im trying to build the same setup, but Im using 20a HAKRC Aio. Do you have a certain pid tune you use? Mine shakes so bad when I use throttle I can barely fly, thanks!
How good does your GPS work? I have Matek M8Q installed at the same position on my 4" quad (with analog VTX) and it could find only 6 sats. I got GPS works only when I moved it to the front of the quad (where GoPro is usually placed)
Is a capacitor always necessary for the Vista build? My 4 inch project is pretty short on space and I thought Barwell once commented that it wasn't that important on the DJI system.
What would be the estimated price for this drone. Beginner here want to build my first mini drone. Some of the product links do not work. Excellent video! Love the content. 🙏🏻🤘🏻
The links are dead
this should be a golden standard for a build tutorial. straight forward to what we need to know
And honest! 🤣 I was cracking up when he said he put the cam upside-down!
I would have been too embarrassed but no, this dude is legit.
Gold standard for drone tutorials. Thank you.
Yo mama gold standard
@@troyerhoades4909 Indeed she is, basement king.
I don't even fly FPV anymore, but this video was just so well-put together that I watched the entire thing. Very clean!
Why you don't
Love those flat wide tweezers for holding wires as you solder, I lost mine and forgot how great they are... off to order some right after this video
NOW...this...is what I call a tutorial!
SUBBED!
I honestly love the way these builds are done. I'm going to follow the QAV 2.5 build when my quad parts arrive.
Did you bulid?
Under rated channel ! Amazing, clear and to the point tutorials ! Thank you !
Man just amazing! Your explanation is so clear and everything is inside in a short time. Best channel man
Just received all my parts to build this quad, man. Awesome work. I went with the BetaFPV F4 35A instead though.
Where can i buy all the build parts needed?
@@Dronythinggoes AirbladeUAV sells the stuff. But getting the frame seems challenging now.
Wow! That flight footage was amazing! I want to fly like that!
Explained really well and only as long as needed.
Nice! That's a quad that I will build but with Walksnail.
hello thank you so much for the vid supper helpful, i just had one issue with the links that don't work either way thank you
Nice work, I've built one similar in the Dave_C frame, but 3600kv motors. looking forward to your li-ion build guide
Edit: i didnt know it was you who developed rotorbuilds, great work mate.
I was shocked when I heard that as well!
What a fantastic video tutorial. I just started flying DJI HD and I found video educational and very interesting
Good stuff, keep us updated on the homemade battery builds Cheers
Will be good videos about the tune of these builds.
What a clean build! 😍
Wow! Thank you soo much for this amazingly detailed info! 🙏
Perfect Build! You can save 11g with a nacked Vista.
This is really cool. I just have one question, why don't you use thinner gauge wire?
Woohh very nice fpv mini drone...
How awesome. Thanks for the info.
What is maximum range in kilometers in this setup?
I love the content! Swift and detailed. Please make more!
fantastic video
Love it man!
Nice and clean build video!
My dream drone
Omg I love rotor builds ! New sub for sure and can’t wait to see the spot welding ion vid.
Not sure if you caught it but I posted the spot welding video the other day.
Thanks for this great video. When it comes to mounting your capacitor, it needs to be as close as possible to the board. Having it near the battery end makes it pretty much useless.
Great little unit I think I am going this route great video take care
your zip tie to cloth wrap then remove ties is brilliant hit the subscribe because you blew my mind lol
Works great!
Very clear build! Subbed 😉
Awesome build! Thanks for the info 😁
Amazing build I like it

Awesome. How max distance did this model went?
Nice build!
Nice video!
thank you, this is awesome.
awesome video it's perfect !
Any chance of you retesting this after printing the frame and components with PLA Aero filament? BE very interested in the results.
Sweet build 👍
Hello i was wondering what tune are you running on it pid and filters
Awesome concept bro! Gonna be building something very similar very soon I think 😀
David Allen would you plz convert it into analog
@@parshvapatel8484 Nah 😀
David Allen you are planning it digital
@@parshvapatel8484 built this in digital with a Dave C variant months ago 😜
David Allen with cross fire nano if it is give me the U.K. Link plz wanna purchase it
Hi, thank you very much for the awesome assembly instructions. Where can I buy the frame? Your link doesn't work anymore. Greetings Ronny
You are DAMN GOOD AT SOLDERING :)
That's the magic of editing! I cut out all the parts where I messed up ;)
@@whiffles It would be better then my one even you didn't edited HAHA :)
What is your preference/recommendation for soldering iron?
Ever have issues with your cloth tape coming undone? That looks super clean. Thanks for the vid!
Hasn't come off yet, but it does get a little dirty over time.
Hello whiffles just one question, would you think this build will be enough for mountain surfing and long range? Or would you say that o should stick with a 7 inch?
@@carlosfuhrer It depends on what you want to carry. This won't carry a full size GoPro very well, but it handles a naked GoPro just fine.
Whiffles thanks
Hi can i use betafpv radio to control it? Or it need specific model?
I want to use HD for LR but I can't see the home distance or the home direction, any advice?
can this do stuff like flips and barrel rolls
Anyone have a rough idea of total cost for this build? Suggestions on radio?
I’ve got the betafpv starter micro drone kit. Any way to upgrade the goggles range and feed
hey you said you could skip the reciever step if you're using the dji fpv controller. what did you mean by that? I'm going to basically create this exact micro long range build just with a dji air unit. do I use a different reciever?
Y'all should just subscribe to this dude to at least say thank you.
which dji remote works with this?
Is this frame available to ship to the UK?
awesome bro..i want to build one for sure
Whats the prop in the video? Its triblade not two tip prop?
The product links seem to not work!!
Can you use this FC and telemetry to control a very large drone? (Multi-KG?) Or would something like a Pixhawk 4 be more suitable?
would this build be suitable for someone super new to the hobby? or do you have a another recommendation?
Great video. I subscribed.
Nice ! Thank's for sharing 👍👍new subscriber 🤙
I am thinking about building it but how fast is it
Great content!
What is that blue dough that you use to placed the receiver over the FC?
It's called Fun-Tak
How long range is it?
How much is the total building cost ?
How much did it cost you to build?
Can we use insta 360 go
What is the total average cost to build one of these?
Where do you buy those cloth tape?
Home Depot
Hey! How did you build that balance lead adapter for the naked gopro?
It's just an adjustable BEC with a capacitor. Nothing special. I just didn't want to risk any voltage spikes.
Parts links aren't working anymore
Hey. I really like your videos. They are very well made and i appreciate the diversity of you drones. I have a question about the gogles. Does the gogle from you budget gogle video also work with this kind of drone? Or does only the dji gogle work?
What’s the frame?
What is the technical alternative if I don't want to use the DJI system?
You'll want to use a traditional analog FPV system. Lots of them on the market.
What soldering iron you use, SEQURE SQ-D60B?
I use the Hakko 888D
Oh nice. Curious to see flight times in the future.. how much time u give up for double the power..
I just put out a video about the Li-Ion batteries and I've got some flight time info in there. Using a 3S Li-Ion battery on these motors I'm getting about 15-20 minutes, but 3850kv will get a bit more.

You make it look so easy...
*Which it's NOT!* 😭
Just takes practice!

I know bro, it's just that I'm scared of failure so I don't even try
Having your crossfire antenna right up against the video antenna will effect the radiation pattern (and swr) of your video antenna (and possibly also crossfire antenna).
Yes, it's ideal to use a tall SMA antenna for the Caddx Vista instead.
@@whiffles It would be handy if TBS, or anyone, made a 1/2 wave, ground-independent, end-fed vertical antenna for 900mhz (I guess it would need a matching circuit to swr it in).
do you have a link for the antenna holder/sleeve? thanks!
It comes with the TPU GPS mount listed in the part list on the written guide.
@@whiffles the link in your guide has the GPS mount but looks like one piece per that airbladeuav site. I had already ordered it but thought there was a second part I needed to order after watching your video.
@@orblivious1 Actually the design of the GPS mount has changed. The Immortal T sleeve is built into it now.
@@orblivious1 Nope, no need now. It's been redesigned to serve both functions.
Dude. can i have this? hahaha. clean build
Awesome build! So im trying to build the same setup, but Im using 20a HAKRC Aio. Do you have a certain pid tune you use? Mine shakes so bad when I use throttle I can barely fly, thanks!
What battery are you flying? 4S, 3S and 2S all need different tunes.
whats that cloth tape in german? Can i buy it from Amazon? Thanks for ur Guides really good !!
I'm not sure what it is in German, but you can find it on Amazon as "cloth tape" or "fabric tape". There's all sorts of options.
How good does your GPS work? I have Matek M8Q installed at the same position on my 4" quad (with analog VTX) and it could find only 6 sats. I got GPS works only when I moved it to the front of the quad (where GoPro is usually placed)
It works pretty well. I think I had 14 sats last time I flew. You may need to wrap the wires where they pass by the VTX with some copper tape.
подскажите как можно подключить на прямую такой дрон как Darwin fpv используя пульт FlySky i6s? и как подключается FPV камера?
Is a capacitor always necessary for the Vista build? My 4 inch project is pretty short on space and I thought Barwell once commented that it wasn't that important on the DJI system.
You can always make it part of the battery lead like this one.
Niceee build
Name of the frame ?
What would be the estimated price for this drone. Beginner here want to build my first mini drone. Some of the product links do not work. Excellent video! Love the content. 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Will this work the same if I use the DJI
This uses DJI FPV if that's what you mean. A DJI quad won't fly the same though.
@@whiffles dam thanks for letting me know I just sub
How long range ??
how is the performance on 18650 batteries? i know the C ratio for these batteries is lower
It flies great on the Molicel P26A cells. I made a 3S pack using those and it's got plenty of power. Check my latest video.
Hi have you removed the video for 18650 li-ion battery build for long range?
Sorry, I had to make some changes to it. I'll put it back up shortly.
@@whiffles Nice, i'm build mine also, just following your videos. Thanks
