I total dig you're bringing it back to the basics because this is really where FPV started for many and are true to our hearts I still fly my tiny whoop all the time much respect to a bro
Depending on your ambient temp and the camera used the heat might (will) loosen the bluetak, also the bluetak can insulate board components from airflow and over heat them. NOT a good idea. I use a tiny plastic baseplate superglued to the PCB edges of the AIO to retain air gaps and then double sided foam tape (industrial strength). Can be lighter, too 🙂
For a drone this size you really don't have to worry about heat. The drone hasn't gotten hot at all, the VTX is on 25mw and generates almost no heat either. Removing the canopy will help with air flow if anything.
I did it so many times, I threw on some tri-blades and an eachine txo sometime lol. It was such a great beginner fpv drone for me, and I have crashed mine hundreds of times lol , I highly recommend , now I fly regular 5-7” Fpv drones and tinywhoops
At least 3 min( from my experience) sometimes flight lasts almost 4 or even five minutes, I made the mistake of having a camera that drew way to much power, I soldered the came straight to the drone ! But it’s a good investment, like a gateway drone.
Pardon my newb question but I'd actually like to try my hand at making my first fpv. When I checked your link for the camera, I see it has two wire harnesses, not one (w/2wires) like you had. I'm guessing the 4 wire harness is for audio? Shall I simply un-soldier those 4 wires?
its a shame they dont make those anymore, there used to be tons of little toy drones that you can hack and they came with better motors. these days I guess that e017 is all you get
I order a couple after watching Nick's video. They arrived today and are super fun already. Thanks for a great summary, your instructions were a lot simpler than trying to figure out what the manual really means. Now just have to wait for the NTSC version of the little camera comes back into stock. Too bad the little monitor now seems to be $70 (CDN), maybe a deal will come on.
hey so i have the eachine e017 could you give me a guide how i can put a camera on there for as cheap as posible, and can i use my phone as a screan so i can see what the camera sees using like an antena that i plug into my phone ? thx
Hi .. your video is very interesting .. I have a question .. i just bought a cheap drone .. but the camera was not good enough .. if I change the the camera .. is there anthings else that I should change too.. ?
I already have Eachine TX06 700TVL FOV 120 Degree 5.8Ghz but i dont know what kind of receiver i need that is compatible, any idea about "Eachine ROTG01 Pro UVC OTG 5.8G 150CH Full Channel FPV Receiver W/Audio For Android Smartphone?"
Adding a 5gram camera won't make your E017 "go all the way up" - UNLESS you have been dumb enough to block the little hole in the barometer unit on the flight board! 😉 Also it would be better to try to center the added weight (or slide the battery back) to equalize the extra load on the motors if you want them to last.
I've just dine this myself after watching Nick Burns video. Just stumbled on yours. Enjoyed it. I think it would be nice to have this hover setting for angle mode in betafight...Great for beginners.
I noticed that we posted our review videos on this drone a couple hours apart haha Glad the video(s) helped ya! and yes agreed, I was surprised at how well this drone actually held its position. Thanks for watching!
Thanks man for ur idea bcoz I already put a budget of $240 to Beta fpv drone but for now I changed my mind. I'm going to order ftx and receiver by the is done i promise I'll be back for thanks giving
Great video! I just bought a DJI Avata (my first ever drone) and practice on various "games" on steam on a PS4 controller. I really appreciate you list in the text for all the various gear recommendations. I bought a E017 since I got a tip this was a really good cheap drone to pratice with. Still waiting for it to be delivered. But your video showed a really cool way to step it up. So thank for a good info./video. #sub:bed
The E017 is definitely a solid affordable practice drone. add the FPV camera and you've got a pretty quick little FPV drone. I use a Sony a7iii to film my videos. I was using my iPhone up until a few months ago lol. Glad the video helped! 🤙
You can take the pcb of a phone connect the camera of the phone to pc with ip and and a small battery to keep the camera working. The additional weight is the pcb and a tine battery
0:48 is the most amazing and important thing
Yes😂
I total dig you're bringing it back to the basics because this is really where FPV started for many and are true to our hearts I still fly my tiny whoop all the time much respect to a bro
Ive tried looking in the link he provided but it says there all out. Do you have any possible alternatives?
@theloser2575 inductrix or inductrixfpv fc for spektrum.. depends on what protocol u want!
Oh ok cool thanks! But I meant the screen, sorry about that.
It’s small innovative ideas like this that make dads look like genius inventors. Thanks!
WOW! That's a very stable drone. It even hovers so well!
yea I was surprised at how well it actually held its position!
I picked up one of these as my first drone and it's a ton of fun. I plan on doing the FPV mod as soon as a I have a monitor for it.
Always impressed with your solder joints, always perfect..
haha they haven't always been this clean. Definitely takes practice!
@@TRONCATFPVand some flux
What Protocol is required on the transmitter to bind with this drone?
That’s rad. Thanks for doing something creative with this little guy
Wonder how the range is with the video transmission before it starts to really break up?
What was the runtime with the camera attached?
Its mostly the Same.. slight difference but Not much

can i use 250mW vtx without external battery supply?how long it could go before the juice juns out?is that a good idea?or should i buy a 25mW?
@@mehedihassan8944 I’d say it would fly about a good 2 minutes indoors
@@Legacy2.00 what about 25mW flight time?
At least 3 min( from my experience) sometimes flight lasts almost 4 or even five minutes, I made the mistake of having a camera that drew way to much power, I soldered the came straight to the drone ! But it’s a good investment, like a gateway drone.
@@Legacy2.00 thanks man
How long can it fly without the camera and how long with the camera ?
Do you have any suggestions for selecting extra replacement/upgtade batteries?
I made this exact setup, and its really cool! I wish the batteries lasted for a little bit longer, but its so fun to fly still
Thanks I’ll be making one soon as the post arrives
Can you turn an E88 drone (cheap one) into an fpv? Like can you post a video if you try 😅
The AIO camera from the link have 3 more wires on it but on your video it has two, how's that?
Finally a budget fpv drone
What is the camera model? because I plan on doing this myself.
Pardon my newb question but I'd actually like to try my hand at making my first fpv. When I checked your link for the camera, I see it has two wire harnesses, not one (w/2wires) like you had. I'm guessing the 4 wire harness is for audio? Shall I simply un-soldier those 4 wires?
those 4 wires are for camera control I believe. The only wires you really need are the power and ground 👍
that board looks very similar to the e011 from eachine that i was hacking silverware onto. have you tried reflashing? is it possible? thanks!
its a shame they dont make those anymore, there used to be tons of little toy drones that you can hack and they came with better motors.
these days I guess that e017 is all you get
Im a beginer i only got a cheap drone should i buy this?

omg tysm for showing me how to make a fpv drone for that cheap
Dude that was sweet, been wanting to set up something like that for my RC truck.
I want to buy the camera and the drone but how do you save the drones video to gallery on your phone
how do you recharge the batteries?
How do i look at its camera? Tutorial please or an explanation for my project
there is the automatic landing with a button on the controller?
Make a video trying to put a elrs receiver on it LOL. I could maybe fit, in with some nano receivers.
What googles would be compatible with the camera
I’ve tried looking in the link for the screen, but it says there all out. Do you have any possible alternatives?
ive had this drone for 8 years and it still works great. all of my batteries dont hold charge though.
I have a drone like this and it can be fun to play outside with because the wind allows it to drift
Can we see you dorne colection
I like this idea. I'll add it to my queue of video ideas, thanks!
Fu

Hi .. your video is very interesting .. I have a question .. i just bought a cheap drone .. but the camera was not good enough .. if I change the the camera .. is there anthings else that I should change too.. ?
This was a dope video. Keeps me curious
Hi, is there any way that we can mod eachine E017 to acro mode?
How much can it lift? I wanna use it for fishing. Btw, I've never owned or flown a drone before.
The link won't work for the screen what's it called to help me out!
Search for the quanum v2 fpv diy kit I’m sure it’s the same thing with a cover on
@robl1967 I found it thanks
Can us glue instead of that metal stuff?
What is the name of your fpv monitor?
Is it possible to connect the camera to the phone instead?
Yeah. I saw there is a company that sell fpv receiver for phone
How do you make it into a freestyle
I already have Eachine TX06 700TVL FOV 120 Degree 5.8Ghz but i dont know what kind of receiver i need that is compatible, any idea about "Eachine ROTG01 Pro UVC OTG 5.8G 150CH Full Channel FPV Receiver W/Audio For Android Smartphone?"
What is that for a screen?
my camera is 5g, and it causes the drone to go all the way up, anyway to counteract this?
Adding a 5gram camera won't make your E017 "go all the way up" - UNLESS you have been dumb enough to block the little hole in the barometer unit on the flight board! 😉

where to get extra or upgrade props?
Lol not the cinewhoop build I was hoping for but I’ll take it great video as always
Haha this coming friday 😉
The parts list and some other goodies are up on my newly set up patreon 🤘 - bit.ly/3eh8ZNv

am i supposed to select PAL or NTSC?
If you're in the US choose NTSC
EU choose PAL
@@TRONCATFPV thanks
What’s the difference
Can we see it fly outdoor.
Thanks man for ur idea bcoz I already put a budget of $240 to Beta fpv drone but for now I changed my mind. I'm going to order ftx and receiver
by the is done i promise I'll be back for thanks giving
Nice. Can this drone be bound with Spektrum DXs controllers?
If you've got money to waste on overpriced Spektrum gear, why would you be interested in this toy???
Nice Video!
Can you bind to jumper jp4in1 broo?
"E017" protocol.
Great capable bit of kit but Anyone got this working with multi protocol module?
As I've added elsewhere "E017" is now available.
are these durable and easy enough for a 5 year old to fly?
Did you try?
How much it will cost a FPV camera and a screen like you
The FPV camera is $16 and that screen I believe is like $30
Included some links to those products in the description 🤘
Can you bind this to any remote?
i'm not really sure, there are additional pads on the flight controller so i bet you could solder up an ELRS receiver or something!
GR8!!!! Thanks Mate....Luvit!!
Nice video I'll recommend to my starter friend
Tell me only one thing , how is his nails so sharp 😮
You gonna make a case

nice idea
You make soldering looks easy 😧
haha thank you, it takes practice!
Check out some of my older videos from a couple years ago, my soldering was VERY janky lmao
If only it could go full acro
Bruh am about to butcher this cheap $45 temu drone amd turn it into a fpv drone wish me luck
Nice
cant you solder in crossfire? 🤣🤣
maybe I can also thro on an 800mw VTX and take it out for some long range tests lmao
noice
Hi
I would never do this and try this ever in my life it's just physically so bad and trash
