I'm going to do a quick post on this one. This is the first 4" build I Have done with DJI components. I am really impressed with the room this frame has. Fits the vista with room to spare.

Motors: Brother Hobby 1504.6 2950KV 

Camera/VTX: Caddx Nebula Pro Vista series

RX: Crossfire Nano







Weight with 3s 1100 mah GnB lipo.


Weight with 4s 1100 mah Pyrodrone lipo.

Hi Bill,

Very GOOD JOB       Is that heat shrink tubing on the arms?  COOL     EXCELLENT Video  

Yep...my shopping cart is getting full

How do you like the 1504.5 ? I just ordered the 3950 kv versions . Is 1504.5 a little more pep than 1404 ?

I have the Brotherhobby 1504.5 3950kv motors on my Katana-LR4 build. Personally, I like them. In my opinion, they are really nice motors; they feel solid and smooth. They are heavier than 1404 motors. For cruising it is hard to tell any performance difference; maybe use a little less throttle, maybe a little smoother.

I love them. Definitely more power than my 1404's. This quad is my daily driver. I fly it every morning at work and have had no issues with the motors.

Sorry harry I just noticed this question. Yes that is heart shrink on the arms. I've been doing this a lot on my smaller builds. I feel it's a good way to contain the wires and looks clean too. Thanks for the compliments man!

Hi Bill,

Nice build. Do you think it has a chance at meeting the Challenge criteria? It might be a little heavy.

I think I can meet the weight requirements but I'm using DJI Goggles and they don't record the OSD in the DVR so i couldn't really prove it.

Hi Bill,

Wow, does digital just not do OSD at all.    And...no way to get any OSD information    

If that is the case it would sure take digital out of consideration for me.     

I like the OSD Info. For me, NO OSD, NO Digital. 

Oh well, it was just a thought.  Still, it is an extremely well built quad. Have fun.

You do get OSD on the screen with the DJI FPV system but it just doesn't record any of the info (embed the OSD elements) into the recorded image like analogue DVR does. It does however record some of the OSD element values to a separate subtitle (SRT) file which you can overlay onto recorded footage in post-editing, but it then just appears as a load of text at the bottom of the screen and nothing like you see in real-time in the OSD of the goggles themselves (see HERE for a demo of what it looks like after post-editing). A lot of the OSD information is also missing from the SRT file with GPS co-ordinates and distance being some that aren't included. DJI no longer seems to have any interest in improving or enhancing the standalone FPV system so those gaps and missing features will likely just remain unfortunately.

Hi Snow,

Thanks for the information. Now, here is a question...a separate on-board DVR could be connected to the FC...so...you could get OSD info on that device, correct ?  Yeah, it wouldn't be real OSD that you could use, but it would provide the data either for analysis or confirmation purposes. Just a thought
