Update: see section below about digital vs analog goggles/radio. You can use the same radio and goggles with multiple drone builds, so they're a one-time up front cost. I recommend investing in the TBS Crossfire add on for your radio for maximum reliability. The radio controller will be a third separate cost. ![]() The goggles listed below are the ones I have, but there are certainly cheaper models available. The goggles/video receiver will be a separate cost. This is essentially top of the line analog gear, but you can swap out parts for cheaper versions to save money. Using the components below, the drone itself costs about $495.74 not including a GoPro. If you're using the DJI FPV system, linking the components is as simple as pushing a few buttons. Once you build your drone, if you built an analog setup, you can then bind it to your radio using this tutorial. If you went with the DJI digital FPV system, I used this tutorial for wiring up the Air Unit. If you don't know how to solder, check out Oscar Liang's guide. I just used the pinout diagram that came in the instructions with the FC/ESC to figure out which wires go where for my specific components. Even though the components are all different, the building process/techniques are the same. Regarding the build itself, I loosely followed Joshua Bardwell's full drone build guide as well as this build to get the gist of how to assemble the various components. DJI's digital FPV system replaces the camera, VTx, receiver, goggles, and radio into an integrated unit with it's own goggles and optional radio. Note that the above description is for a traditional analog system. Not really necessary on a cinewhoop that has limited payload and is usually flown slow and not faraway. Also allows "direction to home" arrow to display on OSD. GPS: Optional unit to beam back coordinates to goggles/radio. Very useful for locating a crashed drone. Receiver + Antenna: Module to receive the control inputs from the radio and relay them to the flight controller.īuzzer: Optional module that wires to the flight controller and can beep automatically when battery is ejected and can be assigned to a switch on your radio. Goggles: Receives and displays the video feed. Video transmitter (VTx) + antenna: Video feed from the flight controller sent to the VTx which transmits a signal back to the goggle. ![]() Video signal in an analog system is usually sent through the flight controller so it can overlay data on the screen (OSD). Motors: Not a bad idea to have one or two replacements on hand.īattery: My build uses 4s (4 cells) but some setups are now optimized for 6s.įlight controller (FC): The "brain" that controls everything.Ĭamera: Traditionally a standard definition analog camera. Most drones have all the same basic components: If you're wondering what the differences are, we made a video about that on our YouTube channel. Since then, we've also added full 5 inch drones to our arsenal. Initially we started with a cinewhoop, original post detailed in the cinewhoop section below. I use the Taranis X9D, but the Taranis Q X7 or most other radios will work as well. It will save you time and frustration if you can figure out how to fly FPV drones virtually first, rather than repeatedly crashing and breaking the real thing.
