The iFlight Nazgul is a very popular drone, and many are starting their trip into DJI digital.
In this video we are turning an analog Nazgul into digital by removing the old VTX and installing a CADDX vista.
You can find many of the pieces in this video in the shop:

Very helpful video. I'm getting ready to do this to my analog V2 (waiting on the Vista, they take weeks to get) and they've made the process slightly easier. The new version of the flight controller has a plug-in connector on it and you just have to solder open leads to the Vista. They even supplied that cable with the analog version.

What vistas work with it? Someone mentioned that the DJI air unit might not fit the nazgul frame. I've got the v2 analog version

Very informative video amigo! I'm looking to get a Nazgul 5 V2 and was trying to decide between analog and digital but its nice to know that this conversion is possible. I also liked that you switched to crossfire from FrSky as I intend to do that as well. Overall great video, precise yet simple.

I just the same updates as you(updated to crossfire nano and added the vista to my Nazgul5 V2 which as the same FC) but no matter what i do I can’t seem to have the OSD working. I tried switching the UARTs for both the crossfire and also the vista but alas no success. I can see the telemetry data when i do ‘discover sensors’ and can see all the values reflecting on my Tango 2 so i guess the crossfire is configured correctly. Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

Forgot to mention my Nazgul is the 6s version so should I be cautious of connecting to VBAT? Will connecting the vista to +5 and GND will be fine as well?
@NordFPV
@NordFPV 3 жыл бұрын
There’s 3 thing are key here: 1.-the RX of the receiver has to be connected to the TX of the FC and the TX of the receiver to the RX of the FC 2.-SMP is enabled in the UART where you connected the receiver 3.-in your goggles you have custom OSD enabled

The vista supports 6S so it shouldn’t be any problem. The vista doesn’t work with 5V. The air unit is the one that doesn’t support 6S. Max 4S

Thanks! That is a great idea, I'll do a video on that. I have forgotten about it since it's summer now in here, and this is a typical topic for the winter around here in the Nordic countries. But I'll definitely do something about it. And by the way, yes, you shouldn't cover the barometer (if you have one!)

Hi Sir, how did you connect the stock antenna of the nazgul to vista? And if i’m not mistaken, you didn’t use the antenna of the vista, right?
@NordFPV

Hi Mark. No I didn't use the stock antenna. You need to get an adapter from uFL to SMA (or RP-SMA), then you connect your SMA (or RP-SMA) to this adapter which sit on the 3D printed piece on the back

Hello. May I please to share info about voltage and ampers you used to power drone directly from charger? I have Hota D6 Pro and also I can powered external devices, but I am a little bit scarred to do that.. I have Nazgul5 V1 6s. So I know that I can use 6s voltage (25.2V) but what amount of apmers is safe? Or how you do that for safe purpose for devices like 6s drones? Best Regards!

Hey. On the bench you don’t need much. I normally use 16v. When it comes amp, if I suspect of a short circuit or I’m testing for the first time a build I use 0.9 amp. That will of course not power a motor, so if after the first time nothing went into short, you can then bump to 2 amp or 1.5 to test everything else including motors

@NordFPV
@NordFPV Жыл бұрын
Hi Sam. The SBUS cable goes into a free RX on your FC. See that if you are installing a vista, or an air unit, you will need a RX/TX pair for the SMP (OSD, telemetri, etc), and one RX (different) for the SBUS. Just remember if you are using a F4 FC you RX should be inverted for SBUS, and if it's a F7 board then it doesn't matter if it's inverted or not.

A few month ago i had to choose analog or digital.... i've choosen analog but now i got DJI Googles too and need to convert the Nazgul v2... your video helps out a lot, thank you! But i have a few questions.... Do your Vista have contact with the carbonfiber frame? Which kind of exact screws have you used for vista mounting on frame? It seems like you have a Nazgul v1? Mine have plugs for camera and in the box were different cables and connectors for using like vista kit.
@NordFPV
@NordFPV 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your kind words! No, I don't like any part touching the carbon, even if it may be ok, I always have either spacers to raise a card/part, or some isolation layer like plastic or tape. In this case I added some plastic nuts which helps keeping the screws in place and raise the vista, and then I have a long screw going through the vista and another nut on the top. I saw recently another solution which was extremely easy: zip ties through two holes in the vista, it works very well. The nazgul has had many revisions, I think I got one of the very first ones, but hopefully the concept is enough for people to move from analog to digital

WTF you plug your quad directly into the charger? I knowits possibel with a bench powersupply but with a lipo charger? Does it damage the components and what settings did you use in your charger for a 6s quad?
@NordFPV
@NordFPV Жыл бұрын
Many lipo chargers are power supply. Just check if your charger has that mode. almost every kind of modern charger will do it. You select voltage and amp and ready. It’s. Good way to prevent short circuit when building

Wait I thought crossfire isn't compatible with the dji controller unless the vista is just for the dji goggles? And correct me if I'm wrong but the vista has a pad for the dji controller?
@NordFPV
@NordFPV 2 жыл бұрын
Hi, Crossfire and DJI has nothing to do. There's no compatibility or anything between them. You can always use the vista only as VTX (Video), and just ignore the control part of it. But as you say, the vista has 3 pads that are used for the DJI controller (VBAT, GND, SBUS)

@NordFPV 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ben, The original PID won't be very good, as you said, because of the added weight. I just went to iflight's webpage and took the configuration of the HD version and copy the PID section. Otherwise the best will actually be to tune it yourself, there are many guides on the internet.
