Source one HD 7inch

By gitareest on Sep 15, 2021

5  558  3

Purpose: All-purpose 7 inch quadcopter.
Flight time: 9 minutes flight time of freestyling.
Flight control software: Inav-3.0.1 "diff all" output
"Position hold" and "Return to home" demo (new props):


Footage from 4k Caddx Tarsier without color correction and stabilization (not new props):

Downsides:

  1. TBS Sixty9 doesn't output 1.4W as memntioned here https://youtu.be/AFozyNrh_WA?t=487. It capable of 700mW as JB tested https://youtu.be/gnViBn2pdbQ?t=1141 and my test with "immersionrc rf power meter v2" shows 0.7W as well.
  2. Crossfire T antenna mount doesn't work well:
    Alt Tag
  3. Caddx Tarsier should be stabilized using some software (GyroFlow, AdobePremierePro). But that requires lots of time to configure parameters for each video file and rediculusly reduce frame size in case of freestyle.

Fascinating! Have you flown it much? How is the tarsier holding up, I am having the hardest time mounting it's boards?

Thank you!
Have flown 12 packs in sum (ripped out 4 battery straps :( ).
Yep, the boads section is too hight to place it on top of esc+fc stack for 30mm standoffs. the ideal place would be in the rear bay of the frame, but longer cable is needed for that. So I just got rid of the camera plates and adjusted the boards right behind the camera. Put duble sided Had 5 crashes - works well.

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..

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..
