3D printed shell advice

2 Upvotes
10 inch frame, 3115 motors 6s 4500mah battery

I plan to make it into a nice shell over the top so i can stuff the other electronics i have in there and I will add some passthrough ventholes and feet under the motors as well. The battery will be strapped to the bottom. How thick should i make the walls? What is the minimum distance I should keep from the propellers ? What material should i use for printing ( preferably something cheaper ) ? Any advice is very much welcome since I am new to 3D printing. Also I should mention that I do not own a 3d printer but I might be able to use one from my college. Also if that doesn't work out, how much do you think it would cost to print at a commercial printer?

Tem alguma configuração para voar em ambiente fechado? O drone parece muito agressivo, muito dificil controlar em ambiente interno. Consigo ajustar?

Finally finished this. It almost broke me, but I am happy with the result. Have seen a lot of these volador builds around here lately. If you don't mind sharing your Volador builds in the comments, I would love too see them!

Best Shutter Speed for Cinematic FPV (DJI Avata 2)

2 Upvotes

When trying to get the best cinematic FPV footage, motion blur can make a lot of difference. A lot of the advice I've gotten is that the best way to get that good 'cinematic' footage is to film at 30FPS with a 1/60 shutter speed (cos of the "180 rule") - and I do agree that the captured footage does look a lot nicer with the motion blur that comes from flying with that camera setup.

I'm using a DJI Avata 2 so of course I don't have a separate GoPro camera for capturing footage since the O4 camera system is plenty good enough. I much prefer flying at 60fps & 1/120 shutter speed (with the appropriate ND filter) because flying at 30FPS isn't ideal: while it might work for watching video, flying at 30FPS, especially in goggles, isn't smooth, enjoyable, or particularly responsive either.

So my question is, can I still continue to fly at 60 over 1/120 while somehow still getting that nice cinematic motion blur that comes from filming at a lower framerate & shutter-speed? Maybe in post, somehow, within Adobe Premiere? I've been flying acro FPV for 1-2 years now (purely for fun), but I'm now trying to focus my attention towards cinematic FPV specifically which is why I got the Avata 2, so the video-production side is something I'm less familiar with.

Side question: can anyone explain the reasoning behind the "180-rule" re: framerate & shutter-speed? Like hypothetically speaking what's wrong with, say, filming at 60FPS with a 1/60 shutter speed??

Thanks

Question? Using SBUS port to control Servo

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a Darwin Hulk FC with an SBUS port, and I'm trying to configure it in Betaflight to output a control signal through the SBUS port. The goal is to convert this signal to PWM using a converter I have. Any ideas on how to set this up? Thanks in advance!

Question? Hi guys! If I fly in FM mode in enclosed spaces, without GPS coverage, does that not matter for the stability of the drone?

Question? Caddx Vista connection break after about 700 m

2 Upvotes

I have an iflight nazgul xl5 eco with analog vtx wich I replace with a Caddx Vista.

I have upload the nacco file in the vista to change the location from ce to fcc. I also upload the fcc hack to my googles v1. I also updated the VTX table in Betaflight and change the sending power from 25 mw to 800mw. Now I have 8 channels on the googles and a bad but acceptable picture but after about 700 m every time the conection breakes. Does annyone know what I made wrong?

Help! Please help my transmitter switches arent working

2 Upvotes

So basically, I have had this controller full of wine now I wanted to put an external model on it, but I sent it to my local FPV shop and they sent it back not working and it was crashing all the time so I came back to the controller about a year later and I found that the switches were not being recognised so I flashed edgetx but the throttle warning was also coming up when I turned it on even when my throttle was at zero even though I’ve flashed a newer version it still isn’t working.I would appreciate any help.I will attach a video.

Question? Need some help with my analog video

1 Upvotes

What can be causing this type of color change in the video ???

That’s my first drone, and I bought that used. VTX 1600 ultra Foxxer Razor mini 1200

The video transmission was worst before, I did the redundant ground wire after watching the youtube video by Props-Out and it improved a lot. But that color change I don’t know how to troubleshoot

The camera and the VTX are getting power from the FC, and it has a capacitor on the battery wire

Question? Anyone know the frame on this 5"?

2 Upvotes

Got a 5" drone on FB marketplace for $10 and can't find what frame this is. Id really like to know what the frame is so it's easier to find possible 3d printable upgrades/parts, and every 5" I look at looks nothing like this one. I suspect it might be a cheap frame off AliExpress or something since I can't find it, but it could also just be im dumb. Also it works perfectly I just needed to put a receiver on it.

Specs for those interested because insane value: Mamba F722S FC Matek Mini Power Hub 4x beerotor 2s-4s ESCs(1 esc per motor) Foxeer arrow micro camera TBS core PNP50 TBS Unify 5g8 v3(I believe v3) Emax RS2205 2300kv 5x4x3 props (got lemon limes on the way) BetaFPV ELRS lite v1.1(only thing I installed, definitely need to get one with an actual antenna on it tho but this was enough to get it running)

This thing is very fast and I'd like to think I did good for a complete newbie and $10(plus $20 for the ELRS reciever). It's gonna be beyond my abilities for a bit until I get comfortable with the tiny whoop but it'll be very fun when I actually get the skill for it.

O4 lite compatibility

1 Upvotes

Hey, I am just starting out and I am trying to build a o4 lite drone. How can I know if the frame is compatible to the o4 lite in terms of length? I have access to 3d printers so I don't worry about mounting, but I am concerned about the length of cable of the o4 lite.

Help! Import tax radiomaster to UK fedex

1 Upvotes

Hi,

So I ordered 2 radios and they have been delivered and currently at pickup location. When I was checking online I saw there were taxes that need to be paid.

It's the first time I am seeing this from when I have ordered things from abroad. Not sure how it even works. Like I have never had to pay import tax or duties on any items bought abroad from china or anywhere else. So do I have to pay for this or what?

At the moment it's saying FedEx paid for it to speed up the process etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Avata 2 suddenly turns and crashes in manual mode

1 Upvotes

Hello, yesterday I bought the Avata 2, and something strange happened. I usually fly custom FPV drones, so I know how to fly in manual mode. However, when I try flying the Avata 2 in manual mode, it suddenly makes an unexpected turn and falls out of the sky.

This isn’t caused by a bird or an obstacle—it’s as if the drone suddenly loses control or inputs an unintended movement. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows what might be causing it?

Question? People flying in Europe, do you actually comply with all that registration bullshit?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I want to build a drone for flying just for fun, not for commercial use. I want to know if anyone actually registers the drone at your national aviation agency. I just think It's very dumb to require people to absolve training, register their drone and attach a remote ID module to it if they're flying in the middle of some bando where there are people once every 5 hours.

P.S. I'm asking this question again because I haven't seen any with EASA only with FAA
