I made a DIY headtracker (based on the same open source project that Motionsic used). There are 3 things I would recommend to someone trying it out. 1) Keep part of the plane's fuselage in the camera's field of FOV. Many FPV pilots like to keep the camera view as unobstructed as possible when the camera is in a fixed position. But when the camera moves like this, it is easy (for me) to lose the exact orientation and not know if the camera is off-center without a visual frame of reference like the fuselage. 2) On your transmitter have a switch dedicated to override any inputs related to the camera position (from the headtracker or your transmitter's pots/sliders) and center the camera's servos. You want to be able to instantly set the camera to center if anything goes wrong. This has prevented me from having a bad crash. 3) Don't forget about your receiver's (or flight controller's) failsafe positions for the channels controlling the camera. If your control link enters failsafe, you probably want your camera's to center so you can see what is happening. If nothing else, it will help you see where your plane crashes at. :)
As an rc pilot of 50 years, and a full scale pilot of 25, I never even considered the getting lost aspect that new full scale pilots go through! Good catch. One of the early lessons you learn in pilot training is that the instructor distracts you as he's teaching you to get to know the airplane, then asks you to fly home. It sure looks different from up there! I think you just. Saved some people some money.
It sure does! I do that same lesson with my full-scale students as well. Navigating isn't taught in RC so the arrow pointing to a home waypoint by way of an on-screen display would be a smart tool for a beginner with this set up. Thanks for watching!
I built my head tracker out of a $20 Arduino and $5 in parts. Very easy to do. The radio set up was actually the hardest part! But FPV with head tracking is the way to go.
I love how modestly Cody is mentioned....dude literally designed the bushmaster and is steady developing planes for one of the biggest companies in the hobby
Thank you so much for this inspiring video. I had to get the Bronco right away and have now enjoyed a dozen of FPV flights with it. Best FPV platform ever 😊
Been using this system for a while on my AeroScout... nothing but amazing fun.. Waiting for another pilot to place a ribbon on their tail for basic combat Robert from motionsic and his friends at blackstar have some great videos on their site... robert is amazingly dedicated and will help if needed... he is absolutely amazingly awesome Great video guys...
This video is great! Definitely got me even more interested in fpv flying. However a more in depth video showing how you guys put all this together would be even better.
Being old enough to remember when the transmitters was a box about 3 feet square with a big antennae sticking on top, the control stick was an on/off button connected to the transmitter, you had one channel and the rudder would alternate between full left and full right each time you pressed and released the button. The planes were, basically, set up as free flight, and you turned them with the rudder, if you needed to make two left turns, you would press and hold the button (if "left" was the next command) to make the turn, then you'd blip it quickly to get the "right" turn signal passed so you could make the next left turn again. The rudder was driven by a rubber band escapement in place of servo motors. Saw models fly off because the rubber band broke, losing rudder control. Today you can fly one like you're sitting in the pilot's seat.
@@motionsic have not nailed it down yet. It's between a mb339 and a eurofighter typhoon. The typhoon will be a cool factor but the mb339 is a lot more forgiving to fly .
This seems so damn cool, and I want it even though I don't even know how to fly yet.I also think the tech could get better for range and such. But, it seems a little to complicated for me, and I would love a in depth video with a shopping list for a full setup, and an in depth "how to" video detailing every step. Nice video, once again!
I've been doing fpv with dji's equipment recently. While the video link reliability and quality is fantastic, a number of OSD elements don't work unfortunately. Radio link quality being one of them making it difficult to know when you're going to actually fail safe. The heading indicator also doesn't work. You can root the goggles so you can get the full OSD but that requires a fair bit of hacking around.
Great video fellas! For anyone wanting to dip a toe into airplane FPV, I suggest checking out Twisted Hobbys Proxy (aka Crack Vision) with a fixed integrated FPV camera. It is a blast to fly on the goggles, and easy too because of the lighter wing loading. It's fully aerobatic and can be flown in tighter areas.
I have a challenge for you! Do exactly what you just did in this vid but instead of using the hand remote to fly the plane, use a mock cockpit like they use in flight sims etc . Would be so cool to fly like you were using the instruments in a real plane, and you could also simulate the feeling of turns and pitching etc
Cool video ! I want to get into fpv planes one day. Ps also a review on the new twin timber would be awesome. I wonder how well it works for bush flying compared to reg turbo Timbers. I saw 2 bros video and thought it looked like it flew well but would love to see y’all’s ideas on it.
That's cool. No issues with Interference between DJI O3 and Spektrum RX I guess? What about O3 not sending full power video signal since not linked to flight controller? Did you get enough range? I was about to order motionsic gimbal and sensor/buddy box for my O3 and came across this. I wish they made it wireless buddybox. Thanks for the video.
i feel like this would be great for my flightline f7f specially since i use a 6s batt so theres a spare space cause by default it used 2 4s batts so i have an extra tray and strap and the canopy could probably fit the cam
One love your Chanel. Two I have a question for you . I’m 14 and me and my grandpa went rc flying for about 3 hours it was fun but I use his 30 year old spectrum radio and all my different planes are on it. Ok now to the point, it won’t Change models anymore and it’s just real old so what’s your recommendation for a like 6 channel multi plane radio.
Thanks man but that’s a bit too many pesos. Good news tho I got some 10$ electric cleaner and as long as I slam the button down with a sledge hammer it works. Not convenient but hey. What works works.
If you switch to the ExpressLRS control link you can easily give yourself multiple miles worth of range. I was surprised to hear warnings about range and penetration in 2023 when a tiny palm-sized quadcopter I built on my kitchen table last year has at least 5km of range which is only limited by the relatively low-powered 350mW VTX and a small battery. There are even PWM receivers for it so you don't necessarily need a flight controller.
Thanks,, any idea what is the range of the head tracker and the dji air unit? Please also put a link for an ERLS and a flight controller that would work with radiomaster TX16S (and Spketrum NX if possible). Thanks
I have watched Robert’s videos and it got me interested. I purchased his head tracker and gimbal and installed. The problem I am having is I can pan but not tilt. I see in my servo monitor screen the servo moving but the camera does not go up or down. Haven’t flown FPV yet and figure I could being able to look L and R. Any suggestions for the setup to correct this in Spektrum NX8???
This would be a dream come true for me. Piloting RC planes normally looks really hard and piloting a real plane is scary 😂 as a gamer I’ve always dreamt of something like this.
I believe this is the same thing as the adrinuo nano. It's a $20 board, it has built in Bluetooth. I have mine setup with Bluetooth. It's a pretty awesome headtracker and cheap. I only have $20 invested in the head tracker and $15 for the Bluetooth module for my TX16s MKll.
Way cool. I'd like to look 'up' relative to the aircraft more, so as to look further into the turn for better depth perception: trajectory control/obstacle avoidance - like flying a real airplane.... Amazing though! well done.
The no USB+Lipo thing can be solved with a Schottky diode. That's what we do with our flight controllers. You typically have Vin power a 5v regulator, which then powers a 3v3 regulator. So that there is no issue when plugging in a USB cable we have both 5v sources go to the diode first and it only allows one through to the 3v3 regulator. Not sure why they didn't do that
The Tally-Ho Head-trackers produced after Sep 2022 have incorporated circuit protection so having both USB and Lipo power no longer creates any issues. The instruction manual has not been updated to remove the warning is all 🙂
Have you done any videos replacing the traditional radio transmitter-controller ( e.g. Radiomaster TX16S ) sticks with more realistic controls like Thrustmaster TPR rudder pedals, Thrustmaster flight stick, and Thrustmaster throttle?
@@TailHeavyProductions Bummer! Please consider it. I hope that one day quadcopter racing leagues (DCL and DRL) would switch to separate stick [right hand], rudder [feet], and throttle [left hand] controls...like the flight simulator game players have done already.
Nice, but would be better to use a Stereocam system for an immersive 3D experience. Objects will appear truer to life by allowing a real sense of depth of field wich is essential in flight to better estimate the distance to your opponent. - Try the Skyzone 3D FPV Goggles Kit (3D Camera, Dual Transmitter, Dual Receivers). - The BlackBird 2 3D FPV Camera. Recommended for a radio controlled model aircraft. - LUCIDCAM - immerse in VR with 3D Tech: Field of View 180° x 180° / 2K-mp4/60fps with dual mics. (Its housing should be removed first)
For those who like to mod-hack existing designs = to reduce the air-pressure on top of the wings = angle the tail-horizontal-stabalisers to pitch down Leading-edge of wings to horizontal-stabalizer(not front-edge to avoid rough switching top-bottom air-flow) Reduce that line by about 30% to have the air-flow under the stabalizer for rear distributed-structural air-support.
Awesome video! I saw that you powered your air unit with a stand alone battery. Do y'all have a video on that, or can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Hi guys, I have an Oculus Quest VR glasses lying around, can I refurbish them to be used as FPV glasses? Any clues or ideas would be appreciated. My vision is to add a HDMI input to them and use a small webcam as an input. rotation is not required, and also I do not need small latency, I wood definitely not use it for racing, just in slowly moving R/C models. not even flying, maybe in a car model.
So I bought this motion fpv stuff but I didn’t realize I needed googles … I thought they were part of the head tracking kit. Can anyone tell me what googles work for sure?
Hi, may I know for the dji fpv system to work with the dji fpv goggles, what must the air unit be connected to? For example, must the air unit be connected to a receiver, flight controller, etc, or can you just connect the air unit solely to a power source such as a 7.4v lipo battery?😃
Why are we STILL using physical servos to pan and tilt a camera? We surely have the technology to use a 180° camera and pan/tilt it in software leading to a much more compact, lighter and more streamlined set up with no lag.
Because head tracking is still a small part of the hobby and developing something like that needs a lot of resources. You’d need to build it from the ground up. Spektrum actually did it with Fatshark a long time ago but the range was quite limited and it never saw the widespread adoption necessary to become mainstream

Pretty please send us some info explaining how we could this
Thirded.
And I'm worried about buying one and trying to plug it up to my radio. Good job. Do you feel like sharing!?
A head tracker with wireless buddy box would be cool. I think I saw someone hacked a transmitter from a cheap PNP UMX radio and Arduino.
I love how modestly Cody is mentioned....dude literally designed the bushmaster and is steady developing planes for one of the biggest companies in the hobby
As in the Cody whose name is plastered on half the 3d planes we buy!?
He also designed the turbo raven
OV-10 Bronco is an interesting aircraft. The Marines had trouble getting a heat lock on it with a stinger because of the massive amount of prop wash.
I built the exact same unit from scratch myself (No blutooth). Since then, I've purchased two of these. They are great !
where to purchases from
Due to my late view this week, I haven't been waiting as long for this one. Fantastic as always.
16 of my planes have that since 2 years ago. My favorite is my freewing Mig29, SU30, AND E-FLITE 90MM VIPER.
This is awesome. Bringing Fpv to mainstream is the way of the future.
The same plane can be flown both conventionally LOS and FPV has great appeal!

Is there a good reason why they couldn't make that stereoscopic 3D with two cameras?
How much does it cost to get a fpv camera unit and vtx that has such a clear resolution??
Would this work on an RC car without a line of sight connection?
SJI fpv.... what was that again?
For those who like to mod-hack existing designs
= to reduce the air-pressure on top of the wings
= angle the tail-horizontal-stabalisers to pitch down
Leading-edge of wings to horizontal-stabalizer(not front-edge to avoid rough switching top-bottom air-flow)
Reduce that line by about 30% to have the air-flow under the stabalizer for rear distributed-structural air-support.
There is a bigger niche to shoot-down rather than look-cool
