Camera butter 5” build.
#1
I got a camera butter cinema frame and got the 5” and 7/8” arm combo.
 It can be built as a freestyle or Deadcat orientation by turning over front arms.
 It has very tight tolerances and once the bug is put into place arms aren’t moving at all.
   Without nuts or standoff tight or top of sandwich plate arms do not move at all.

 It’s almost a glide and has devil horned arms and is 110grams with hardware 5”,130 grams with 7/8”.

 I’m going to build it as a 5” and try freestyle first then Deadcat version.
 
  I’m going to use 
 
  inflight zing 2 2306 1750
  Hobbywing F7 40amp stack 
  Rush Solo Tank 
 XF nano
  Foxeer Predator V5 Micro M12 1.7mm full case 
 Foxeer antenna 
  Diantone noise isolation ground sheet

   I think my favorite analog camera is Predator V5 M12 1.7mm micro full case.So far it seems to get the best focus,bright colors like a Caddx but without the unnatural colors.
   I’m hoping the Rush Solo range reflects its power.I was glad to see it fit for it doesn’t fit very many frames.
   The HW F7 40amp stack has to go in one way only.If the 4n1 faces forward the F7 must face forward too.Not a serious problem but I had to rotate motors and 4n1 and mount the capacitor on top of vtx.
   Here’s a few pictures of the build in progress.If you look at bug fitting inside frame you can see how tight the tolerances are.No sanding or filing needed but it was a tight fit.

 I had to rotate the stack and motors then move the capacitor so my next picture will be different.The capacitor didn’t hit the top plate until after I plugged in Vtx connector.Then it hit top plate and I could have forced it but I think the vibration from hitting the carbon fiber or friction could have produced noise or problems.

Here’s a picture of isolation ground sheet.
 I put a 20 by 20 plate on top of esc,then isolation sheet on top of it then black electrical tape over isolation sheet.
  I had to mount cap on vtx and put on a larger cap.
  Now the final wiring.I could finish quickly but I’d like to run the cam/vtx wires away from noise and gyro.
  I don’t like the only Vtx + connection being a wire coming out of DJI plug when I use analog.
 It makes the Vtx power wires very short but then the camera +/- wires need to run back to Vtx or maybe I can power camera from any 5v or 10v pad and not pick up noise.
 
 Here’s a picture of isolation sheet mounted on top of a 20 by 20 plate,then it’s covered with black tape, and theres a ground wire soldered to sheet.
 I’m curious to see if it’s effective.

It’s looking quite good.

I’ve got two of those Diatone isolation sheets that came with a frame- I haven’t bothered trying them yet, but I’m curious to see if you find it effective/worthwhile.
Dangerous operations.

Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.

  I see some difference but I am using 25mW.
 
  I tried spinning up motors with FPV system on and w/o the ground wire soldered in place I seen some noise when pointing goggles away from quad.
 Once I soldered wire from isolation sheet on a FC ground pad the noise went away.

  I will maiden tomorrow and then I’ll see how it responds to full power on vtx.

  I think for what it sheets cost and ease of installation if there’s room between stacks using an isolation sheet is worth trying.
 TV,DVR,Dvd players all use shielded ground around signal and audio wires.
 Should work for FPV.

Awesome build but there is a fire burning inside me right now out of jealousy.

You have been hoarding parts for a build  Cry

I like the idea of the electrical tape of the RF shield especially since the surface of the shield is probably conductive.

You are putting in a Rush Tank Solo and using it on 25mW? Why?  Thinking

 That was just for testing video during build so Vtx doesn’t over heat.
 Once I get done with maiden I’ll start cranking up the power and pushing the motors.

It’s basically done just a few tightening of nuts,final assembly and it’s all setup in betaflight ready for maiden.
 I think if I would have left 30 by 30 ears on they would have served as a good place to secure wires.

I put a pack through it last night before Wednesday night bowling and it’s a nice flying quad.

 I took a picture of the fitting of the bug that eliminates arm movement.In the picture the bug sides,angles and surface of edge fits perfectly.


This frame has the tightest tolerances of any frame I’ve built.

Once I taped over arms,wires and foam skids it brought the final weight to 253.5grams.
With a 6S 1400 tatuu weight is 576 grams.
The weather should soon be cooling down so to me it’s the best time of year to fly.

Now that I flown about 8-10 packs through it I think it’s a very nice flying quad.


   I haven’t changed anything except flipped on bidirectional and am using Dshot 300 so everything is on betaflight default settings.
  
  I’ll post some DVR footage in a few days.
