This has been a slow progression of part changes as I consider stepping down from my F450 to something more fun and manageable. It was originally a ZMR250, but I've stepped down to a 210mm frame for the more compact size and lower cost. I'm still swapping parts in and out, so this is not a proven setup and may include some redundancy.
I transitioned this over to a 210 frame with smaller motors and ESCs. I think 210mm is the way to go now since it'll still support 5in props and you save on weight.
Really great price!
I see you aren't including any goggles or screen, do you recommend the Quantum V2 goggles?
32ch vtx and rx, will give you a better chance of avoiding other channels and harmonics thereof. Some receivers may be worse than others at rejecting out-of-band interference ;) Here's a chart for printing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1seKwTWO-VnA19fcMqg7BJsiWQrwZdXbW6vQnCpMv8-E/edit?pref=2&pli=1
Do you think this build would work well with a Xiamoi Yi strapped to it?
Why didn't you go with a FPV Camera tx Combo like this one? http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-CCD-700tvl-110-160-Degree-Camera-Lens-w-5_8G-FPV-Transmitter-p-977402.html
How would mount the TX camera?
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..
Read moreWith the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Is 8ch on the vrx going to be enough when flying with others?
How far do you think the channels need to be apart from one another to eliminate interference? I think he should be able to get away with 2 to 3 flying at once. BTW, love your avatar.
I just need to actually research vtx and vrx to understand them further. thats the only part that i havent looked into yet because i figured id be flying alone. I may have found someone to fly with so that may change. Thanks, i dont rememer why but an alpaca became my avatar universally lol. Alpaca is my call name on steam lol.
I'd look into the FX799T, it's a 200mw but it's 40 channels with race bands...It's $33.00 on rotorgeeks...it's a bit more expensive, but you'll never have a problem with channels...
I already have the Boscam pair, nor do I fly with anybody else so I'm not too concerned about channels, but it's good to know about the alternatives.
