Slowns HD

Naked GoPro build, using Umma85 clean plate and dampeners. 4S capable using spare BetaFPV 85X parts and V3 of their AIO board. This time using Caddx Vista and Nebula camera combo.
The Nebula seems perfect for this type of weight conscious build but after some test flights and noticing the lower quality image and zoomed in look i think ill take the extra 5-6 gram difference and use the full size DJI camera. Performs well on steady proximity flights and tight spaces. Climbs well too. no acro of any kind with this though. its purely steady as she goes and captures nice steady footage as it should.
Used RDO printing service. Very nice parts at a good price and fast. link to STL files shown in pics are under the build parts list. You will need to drill out a few holes for the tiny wood screws.
update: Build is performing well, 3S works well indoors. testing other props.
DJI camera is worth its weight.
now using more Aluminum hardware to save 3g
Installed ribbon cable for voice control. (thanks NikFPV) great feature!
Down to 114g now with Nebula Pro.

Hey,
Do you have anymore close up pics how exactly you attached the FC to the frame or what hardware you used? It just doesn't seem to fit for me...

Rudygon Dec 01, 2020

i had to clip some of the frame away in mine to clear some capacitors and vided wires on the side.

Do you have the Vista holders with the slits available to download somewhere?

Rudygon Oct 13, 2020

ive placed it in the Dropbox link. let me know if you can access it. file has Slits in the name.

F.P. Oct 13, 2020

I got it, thanks! I like the added protection while still allowing some air flow.

You may consider uploading your designs to Thingiverse, where others could more easily find them.
Cheers!

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..
