***No stabilization or rolling shutter correction was applied to the footage, only a simple color grade.
The Flying Squirrel is finally finished! This design was conceived of in April 2023 and it's taken hundreds of hours of design, prototyping, and field testing to create the best performing naked BMPCC4K FPV drone in existence.
The components used in this flight demonstration are:
- 2X Auline 3300mah 4S in series (8S)
- Xing 3110 900kV Motors
- Gemfan 8060 carbon fiber props
- iFlight Succex 80A 8S ESC
- Foxeer F722 V2 FC (with 100uF cap soldered to 5V circuit for noise reduction)
- TBS crossfire
- DJI/caddx air unit with nebula pro (This frame is 100% compatible with DJI O3)
Camera settings used in flight:
- Laowa 7.5mm ultra light lens (150g) at f/22
- 4 stop ND filter
- Silicon Pro 128GB Cfast
- 24 fps
- 144 deg shutter speed
- BRAW 12:1
The sensor noise indicated in the flight footage is caused by a worn out/not fully seated sensor ribbon plug. This was a prototype with mismatched carbon plates from previous models which put extra strain on the sensor ribbon cable so it wasn't able to seat properly sometimes. This is a non-issue with the production version. In addition, this camera PCB board has been swapped dozens of times so the mating cycles on the ribbon socket is probably over 20 cycles by now due to the development process.

A Cinelifter you can Hand Launch!? I'm In!
Haha, it's not quite "pocket sized" anymore though, but neither was the original camera.
Oh cool it's Potato Jet! Lol can't wait to see him having fun with one of these on his channel next 😂
@@tjthedogtrainer Totally thought the same, not surprised to see Gene here :D
was now gonna mention you
I get the puckered O-ring flying my Gopro onboard... You got the stones to put a BlackMagic camera on yours! I bow to your testicular fortitude!
I was gonna say, you gotta have a fair bit of extra cash lying around to just throw a BMPCC around like that and over water. I don't even want to lose my analog only camera drone, lol.
😂😂😂
#facts
There’s no way to buy it already built?
@@yusiffranklin1754 I think this system is moderately DIY. Look at the website and it shows at what level you get the kit.
You're flying this cine rig like most people would fly their acro beater quads. That speed is unreal! You're making that huge outdoor space feel like a small backyard. And the quad is taking all that!
Amazing.
He's done some time based speed changes in post, for the creative element of it.
Thanks! 8S really changes the landscape and you can eat it up in very little time. The vertical arms give better control at high speed due to aerofoil effect which provides lateral movements without having to tilt the entire drone as much.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes Actually the only editing to the footage is color grade. It makes me happy that you think I did speed changes to the flight footage haha! It's very fast and no speed ramping was applied to any of the footage, it's all raw.
@@strawhatsam wow! Try to film something thats going REALLY FAST then. It's will be easier for the viewer to understand how crazy this rig are.
I thought that footage is sped up by 300%! Very cool
@@strawhatsam and a little bit of gyrostab is necessary. But anyway this is a very cool project
It should be illegal to casually drop vids like this man... Amazing
Damn she flys like a freestyle drone props to u for designing such a dope design. Bet damn good center of gravitiy everything packed into the middle.
Absolutely breathe taking design.
Oh man that arm structure is a 15/10. This is awesome! Fantastic work! Looks incredible
i've never been that excited over a frame design. It looks like there is every little thing that we can dream of; except for weatherproofing. But I guess for winter/snow I could tape the helll out of that thing.
Thanks Kabab! Yeah truss arms are certainly stiff. The only disadvantages of them though are less durability and more susceptible to secondary harmonics so dynamic notch filters are important to keep enabled for this frame.
@@strawhatsam yeah unfortunately I'm well aware of the challenges of this sort of arm structure. I would test 1mm thicker carbon for the spars...may not make any difference.
It's the 3D element of the arms in the Z plane that I'm specifically referring to when I say the structure looks good. It'll never be close to perfect unfortunately. Overall weight distribution is not ideal on the craft but you're very limited by the desire to have as small of a footprint as possible. Overall for what you're trying to accomplish I think this design looks wonderful
Love the damn song. And the flight is super rad
As someone that used to design and sell racing drones, you have designed some seriously nice solutions into this frame, Nice work!
One Word---------------------EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow thans insane man. It makes my monday after work. You did a great job!
Thanks a bunch, I'm glad you enjoyed!
The lack of stabilization is rough, but that image quality is breathtaking. Can't wait to see more flights on this rig.
the whole point is to showcase its flying capabilities...
@@PRZFPV That's kind of what I meant. Seeing that image quality while performing like a 5 inch freestyle quad is mind-blowing. Sorry for lacking clarity.
You can easily stabilize it in post. Every flightcontroller has a gyro in it.
You will obviously loose some quality but thats no diffrent on a action camera.
@@r00kiet80 BMPCC4K has gyro data recorded with the latest firmware. That should do the trick, shouldnt it?
@@r00kiet80 If you plan to stabilize in post, just make sure to record with a fast shutter speed/angle to get rid of any motion blur. Then you can always add pixel motion blur back in post as well. Otherwise your footage will be technically stable but it will become blurry at (seemingly) random moments.
That footage is just pure eye candy
Thank you!
In all my life of FPV, I've never felt the chills like you just brought me now.
I'm glad I was able to inspire!
Very well thought and pragmatic design! Loved the integration of carbon fiber and 3D printed parts!
insane drone.
insane footage.
insane editing.
video 15/10
yes hitting the gaps. Full send!
OMG! Wow! WTF! I look forward when available.
Excuse me sir, you are not supposed to fullsend a camera like that! This is totally bad ass and I love it. Well done 👍
That may be the best footage I've ever seen from a compact drone. Finally, a cinematic sensor on a small drone. This is how it should be. Well done.
You've literally created a new genre! Cine-Acro
This is the craziest freestyle drone I've ever seen
imagine seeing with that quality in realtime one day!
Sick location, editing and music! Thanks, I enjoyed it!
Nice work Sam.
Loved it!
This Spot Is UNREAL!
Straw Hat got my attention, for sure!
3:33 uht, scratch the take, saw a shadow; lol. Beautiful everything
absolutly insane !
Wonderful!
I love that drone setup.............
This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen! Unreal build development.
I enjoyed your rip! 😊
This is why I’m here this footage is amazing love this right here can’t wait till I’m ripping like this!! Great video mate!
That design is super well thought through. So cool integrating the camera into the frame!
Wicked edit💯👊👊😎🔥💪🔥💪🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
also perfect spot to show off this new rig ✨
I gotta bring back the word "RAD" for this. Rad!
Holy smokes. That's some fantastic gear and skills!
Ok, so this shiznit is AWESOME!
Awesome View
Man that is awesome!
OMG! Absolutely amazing footage!
Incredible bro. The craftsmanship and ingenuity in all your quads is beautiful! I neeeeed this!!!
I think this could really benefit from a grommet isolation camera mount. You can see a fair bit of shakiness in the abrubt stops/turns. Looks like a great cinelifter though!
Thanks! The bobbles and shakes from abrupt maneuvers are actually from the tune. Because it is hard mounted, the camera will do exactly what the drone does. Any viscoelestic damping would actually worsen any bounceback.
@@strawhatsam yea i forgot to mention the pids. Tuning would definitely help but it looks good already! From my understanding an isolation mount would help with electronic stabilization, but im no expert so i could very likely be wrong.
Good stuff! 👍
thats one of the most beautiful cinelifters i have ever seen
Insane, the absolute materialization of the term "fly it like you stole it". Definitely interested..
This Flying Squirrel is a serious piece of kit! You sure are a skilled flyer.
Looks sick! pusher setup works well.
Amazing!!
great edit!!
This is an awesome evolution of the naked setup! So cool
That IS something!
Will be having Troy at qsl build one of these for me soon! Incredible design man
Awesome! He's built a couple already so you should be in good hands.
❤ at first sight🎉 what a frame and flight🎉. Will this take a normal stack? Interesting build ❤ from South Africa 🌍
So sick on many levels! Great work!
Damn dude. This is bringing me back to the time I got to fly on lake Atitlan in Guatemala. It was no FPV flying, but the stillness of the lake and everything. It's all there. Good shit Sam 🙌
Unbelievably epic!! Great storytelling as usual.
So cool I really like the design and the capabilities fpv has gone to. I never knew we would get to the point where fpv can carry movie cameras and pull of sick stunts. 😮
Oh, thats insane drone. Amazing work, my respect.
This was killer
Incredible
Not bad, not bad at all! Great acrobatic video! So beautiful!🎉
This looks so sick! I’m looking to take the next step up from GoPros and your naked BMPCC seem like the way to go
Work of Art!
Simply amazing. 'nuff said.
Just ordered five new black magic flying squirrels 🐿️ ‼️👌🏾🔥📸 #FreshTasteGroup
Will definitely be ordering one !
This looks next level to me, my how far drone and FPV flying has come
Jaw dropping 🙌
Awesome
the design looks amazing, though i must say there was some significant wobbles and shake. i wonder if it is a frame resonance issue or a COG issue. in my testing the top heavy drones carrying a BMPCC4K always have this wobble but you dont see it in the x8 because of the bottom elements evening it out. or course frame resonance is a big part of it.
How did I know I would find a comment from DrX here? Hahaha
@@Carguyforlife I love straw hat sam's designs. Which is why I also am so critical
I can attribute the low throttle wobbles to the lack of thorough tuning on my part. The bateery setup I was using was dual Auline 3300mah 4S (600g) which is quite a hefty load and makes though low throttle snap maneuvers quite challenging. I really wanted to push the drone to its limits for this video to give it that raw feel. I am sure that with a smaller 2600mah 8S GNB batteries and spending a day to tune, you can get even better results.
The best flying setup for acro performance is actually 6S 2806.5 1700kV and 6" props. This has absolute control, but doesn't have the flight time like 8 inch. Best setup for 8inch for acro is Xnova 2812 1100kV 6S 8060 props, this one feels like a simulator.
@@strawhatsam what's your go to for tuning out low throttle wobbles? I've always found it difficult to tune it out and mostly just try to design it out. So it would be a great tool in my belt if I could approach this problem from multiple angles
This would be perfect for FPV beginners
Wow this is insane! I love how you put this together. Stunning work! 🔥🤩
I want to congratulate you on figuring this frame out. As I never got mine past the 3D printing stage, but look very similar, only Imade mine like 6-7 years ago. Double arms are more streamlined but would actually vibrate differently and never flew real good until butterflight came out, and was used on it. Good job.
Thats one sleek design well done
That thing looks sick! 💪🏻 great work
it's kind of wild how small good camera can be nowadays
Coulda given us nice smooth cinema shots and we all woulda been fine. My man goes balls to the fucking wall ripping thousands of $$ like it’s nothing. A straw hats off to you sir 🫡
That thing rips
💅my favorite part
That looks insanely good!
The Price is right ✅️ 👌 on cue. Compared to other bnf this is going to be a hit.
that price is really good. I was honestly expecting it costing like 5k but its below 1.
I genuinely might buy it in the future for car and nature shoots.
Oh camera is not included, I see. Either way account the camera price itself it's not that horrible for the wallet.
Badass!
고프로나 O3의 화질도 충분히 볼만하다고 생각하고 있었는데, 이렇게 스피디하고 좋은 화질로 보니 실제로 제 자신이 날고 있는 느낌이 듭니다. 디즈니플러스 드라마 'Moving' 속 'Bongseok'이 비행에 눈을 떠서 신나게 날아다니는 느낌이네요. (물론 극중에서도 FPV촬영 기법을 사용해보이지만) 아무튼 대단합니다!
Thank you I am glad you enjoyed!
Absolut epic 💯👌🏻😎👍🏻👍🏻
you did not have to fly this quad in that manner and you did...and that means the world to us
Nice!
dude so buttery smooth 🎉
Looks amazing !
Epic bud ❤❤❤
Wow, I really like this!👍🏻👍🏻
Seriously badass flying bro!
I can see myself flying it and barely clipping a leaf and getting stuck a mile away from me 60 ft up in a tree 😂
I'd need some Military StarLink GPS system, sonar, radar & OnStar!
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful!
Incredible flying but I’d like to see what you see live
Holy shit this is bananas!
Fantastic work 👍🏻
That location!!
