My first build. Its a pretty tight fit in the V3 Source One but I managed to get everything working. It flys great. I will probably end up changing the DJI antenna setup. I think it would work betting with longer antennas.

Approximately how many degrees you have of up-tilt?

j4y   Sep 12, 2020 

i think around 30 degrees.

what did you use to make the camera fit?

j4y   Sep 12, 2020 

I used these mounts to fit the camera. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3825298

Very cool! I was trying to figure out how to fit this in the source one, but I didn't consider removing the standoffs.

I was considering mounting the Air unit above a 4-in-1 in the middle of the frame with a 20mm FC on the rear mounting holes. That should allow me to keep all the standoffs.

Hey, if possible, could you help me with the adapter? If you have a file I can print, that would be great. Thanks a lot!

j4y   Nov 08, 2019 

I didn't print anything... I just cut some little plastic pieces with 2 holes and used some standoffs to shift the FC forward. There is probably a much cleaner way to move the FC or even the entire stack forward but I don't have a 3d printer. I would ultimately like to get something printed that just shifted the entire 30x30 stack forward.

what antenna mount did you use?

j4y   Oct 16, 2019 

At the time of posting this I was using the Brain3d DJI mount... https://www.brain3d.co/collections/hd-antenna-sets/products/dji-hd-fpv-antenna-mount?variant=29466487881815
I've since gotten a pair of sma adapters and a pair of Xilo AXII LHCP antennas and I am getting noticably better range. I got 2 of these sets from BMC3D.... https://bmc3d.co/products/tbs-source-one-antenna-mount?_pos=2&_sid=1d5397298&_ss=r

j4y   Sep 02, 2019 

Correct.

Its my first real quad so I don't have much to compare it to.... but it seems to fly pretty good. Im tinkering with PID values now but it flew pretty smooth on default values.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight
Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition
Mar 04, 2021

With 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..
