Hey Oscar, If one day i want to take airial photography lets say if i go to vacation or something. would it be easy to do with the naze 32 acro? or is their a board that can do both airial and acrobatic? Kinda like a hybrid build? • Posts: 5,315 Threads: 672 Likes Received: 3,155 in 1,743 posts Likes Given: 2,030 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 10-Feb-2016, 07:51 PM (This post was last modified: 10-Feb-2016, 07:51 PM by Oscar.) Here is my advice: don't be too ambitious and try to accomplish everything right at the beginning, you will only cause yourself headache just focus on getting your first quad built, the most simple way as possible, get it flying nicely, get yourself learning how to fly well, then start thinking about doing more advance stuff... • Posts: 39 Threads: 10 Likes Received: 7 in 1 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 4 (10-Feb-2016, 07:51 PM)Oscar Wrote: Here is my advice: don't be too ambitious and try to accomplish everything right at the beginning, you will only cause yourself headache just focus on getting your first quad built, the most simple way as possible, get it flying nicely, get yourself learning how to fly well, then start thinking about doing more advance stuff... ok i will do that! : haank you so much. also is their a transmitter you recommend that work with my goggles that is good? i dont wanna have to worry too much of losing signal if i fly over a few trees or atleast that a bit of distance to fly in. id rather buy something good of the bat than something "good enough" for the budget. • Posts: 5,315 Threads: 672 Likes Received: 3,155 in 1,743 posts Likes Given: 2,030 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 currently i am using: http://www.banggood.com/FX-FX796T-FX799T...01201408U4 works great! if you want something cheaper the Aomway 200mW also pretty good • Posts: 39 Threads: 10 Likes Received: 7 in 1 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 4 (10-Feb-2016, 08:58 PM)Oscar Wrote: currently i am using: http://www.banggood.com/FX-FX796T-FX799T...01201408U4 works great! if you want something cheaper the Aomway 200mW also pretty good Hey Oscar!

I've been working on a new build for an fpv racing drone. Keep in mind i'm completely new at this and I've just gone around doing research and learning a lot of different things. So far i have the parts in a list and i would so much appreciate it if you looked at them and tell me what you think. also if they will be safe / compatible with each other. i don't want anything to blow up hahaha. And if their is anything you want to recommend maybe to save money or performance, or a different part, etc.. that would be great. Thanks so much! Drone Parts List Hiya, Most of what you have listed seems ok for a starter quad. As you say you want a FPV racing quad I would make a couple of changes and additions. 1. An ACRO Naze board will be perfectly fine rather than the Full board. 2. BLheli ESC's are the flavour of the month at present and their BLheli suite offers your a lot of choices to change parametres etc. LittleBee ESC's are a good choice (but be warned, They have been known to cause power spikes which have blown fpv cams and Vtx's, which brings me to number 2A. 2A. Get a decent inline filter for your FPV gear or make sure your PDB has a built in line filter. (even if you don't use Littlebee ESC's). 3. FPV cam not listed.. A HS1177 or Runcam Skyplus are great FPV cams and come in small form factor in protective cases. 4. The 2200mAh 20C battery will work (perhaps a bit heavy), I personally would look more at a 1500-1800 mAh and at least 45C or higher. 5.The PDB you have listed is ermmmm (crap). Get a good PDB, Think of the PDB as the Heart of the quad and the Flight controller as the Brain..You need a good heart and good brain. You will thank me and others later . 6.you need a VTX, get a good mini 200mW and if cash allows get a 25mW as well, as some races only allow a 25mW vtx..be prepared :-) 7.Get a Piezo buzzer to attach to your NAZE board, not only is it handy for diagnostics (to a degree) doubles as a super handy Lost Model alarm. 8. Get a LIPO alarm..Your batteries will love for it. Buy a bucket load of props, you will need them. Also, if your motors have cone spinners on them, throw them away and buy some nyloc locknuts. That is about all I can think of at the moment. Hope that helps you a little. :-) The reason why i would like the full version of the naze board is because altitude hold and the possibility of adding a gps in the future for other functionality seems cool to me. Like if one day i just wanna play around with like arial photography or something you know? Do you think for that puspose its a good board? You might be better off getting a 450 as well as this 250. Keep the 250 for acro and racing and use the 450 for aerial photography with gps etc. The 450 would be a lot more stable and have the ability to carry a 3 axis gimbal with a go pro attached. • |
