@NordFPV I’m definitely inspired by this video to build my first FPV drone. I will continue to watch your videos with great excitement and anticipation. Can you let the community know how the footage and flight with your built Cinebot30 please? Did you connect a go pro, what remote and goggles did you use?

@NordFPV 9 ай бұрын

Hi. Unfortunately I have to be very careful with footage outdoors because local rules. But the drone flies very well and walksnail is walksnail no matter what frame you put it. I’m not using a GoPro, I use a naked GoPro when I want to film. I use my tx16s which you can see in my other videos about how I customize it and my walksnail goggles V1.

I recently had to replace the F722 45A AIO as the one that came with the BNF version decided to spit a capacitor out. I noticed during the replacement process, the location of the large capacitor is sensitive to touches to wires (probably the soldered battery leads too) as once I closed it up, the O3 air unit touches the capacitor, causing my GPS not getting read by Betaflight (there's communication with BF and the GPS lit up but the icon doesn't light up in BF). Pushed the capacitor further back and it all became okay.

@NordFPV Жыл бұрын

Yes, things are very tight there and the capacitor was the one giving me more issues to close the drone. I have the capacitors with cables and allowed me to locate it a bit away and more secured on a “hole” next to the VTX, but you are very right. People should be cared with the location of the cap.

This is a solid guide for fixing the drone with any damage but I think you skipped one of the important things on how to arrange during "sandwich~ng" the drone together. Specifically, I am interested in where you put the elrs receiver to not cause any problem with the fc board.

@NordFPV Жыл бұрын

Thanks. The sandwiching was actually complicated. Since I’m using walksnail and adding an extra BEC I didn’t have a lot of space inside the drone and I placed the RX under the camera plate. If you are not using walksnail or the extra BEC there’s a pocket inside the frame where you can have the RX. Sorry I didn’t film this part but I actually got to know about it better after this tutorial was made and fix a couple of pre-builds of this drone

@@NordFPV Do you know for the O3 unit if there’s space for the RX? I actually have mine on the way having only PNP. It was late when I know the issue of DJI FPV RC2 RXloss. So I am planning to add ELRS RX myself.

You should have enough space for the RX inside. Look at the sides, there’s this pocket where you put the receiver, just think that you reach the pocket from underneath, you have to remove the bottom plate to get it in there.

If you are using a different FC/AIO than the original there’s no use to show the CLI. This LED are connected to a regular pad which is controlled by re mapping the resource to give power. This is not a regular LED. If you still want to see the CLI go to GEPRC’s website and download it from their support section.

Just about to convert my anaolg camera with a Walksnail unit so why not use the LED 12v supply for the Walksnail VTX rather than adding another BEC?

@NordFPV Жыл бұрын

Not a bad idea. 2 things to keep in mind: 1-the led BEC is controlled by a switch. Do you want your VTX to be turned on/off by a switch? 2-you have to check it gives enough current. It should, but it needs to double check.

@VernStarr Жыл бұрын

I am working on converting an analog CineBot30 to Walksnail using the V2 VTX w/ 32GB memory and the new "night vision" camera. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is where to mount the 4-wire to USB-C cable for uploading firmware and downloading DVR videos. I really don't want to disassemble this thing every time I need to do that stuff. Did you come up with a mounting solution? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in this video. It looks like the frame was originally designed around a DJI Air Unit so there's plenty of vertical space but I don't see a good mount for this USB connector that is easily accessible when fully assembled. Any ideas?

@NordFPV Жыл бұрын

Honestly, I don’t have that piece since I have a v1. But there’s not much space in there. Even if it was designed for the O3. There’s a bit of space on the opening, where the usb of the o3 will be. What about under the action camera plate?

@VernStarr Жыл бұрын

@@NordFPV Haha, well, I guess "plenty of vertical space" is relative. My second build ever was the RotorX Raiju, and everything since then has seemed downright spacious. For the CineBot, I ended up getting everything "in there"... eventually. It looks great from the outside, but the inside ain't pretty. The USB-C connector is just kind of wedged in somewhere it hopefully won't shake loose from. I'll have to remove the top plate to access the VTX's memory but I won't have to disassemble the bottom section, which I guess was my real worry. Maybe I'll find a better location for that connector in the future.

Hi. There’s 2 important things. 1-is to have user 1 configured in your modes so you can enable and disable the light with a switch 2- is to map correctly the resources of the FC so you can connect the LED and control them. 2 can be complicated if you don’t know what you are doing with betaflight. Therefore I advice in the video to follow the configuration provided by GEPRC in their website (support). If you have the same FC as they use, and you connect it to the same pads, you can simple copy paste their config.

San let. You have very little space on that frame. The capacitor is difficult to fit, so I would recommend to go with the smaller of the cards. The mamba has a double card, right?
