look what i did this time ! , not only did i cram my old Gteng Fpv watch inside my flysky fs-i6s i also fit 2 go pro hero 4 batteries in Parallel to power it at 4.35v making it a total of 2,300mah separately from the transmitter , I also power the flysky transmitter Separately with a huge 2s 3,000mah lipo ! . check out that Tripple feed patch antenna for the best of both worlds . aside from the obvious lets talk about the hidden easter eggs it has , not only can you charge the internal gopro batteries via original usb port at the bottom you can also feed the video rx signal out to any dvr or monitor via the 4 pin sim port next to it ! & thoes useless buttons on the back of the transmitter now power on /off the gteng watch & switches the frequency , just take a look at the pics for more insight . what you see in the radio is where the magic really is, you can see how i had to solder an ipex connector to the gteng receiver board so i can use an mmcx to ipex for my tripple feed antena & how i had to fit the reciever board snug under &between the gimbals now that was a miracle it fit so good and left just enough clearance for the gimbals to not touch the fpv screen . its a very lenghty process that took me weeks not only that i broke the first white flysky transmitter touch screen rendering it completely useless ( not entirely i did use the grey rubber hand grips from it ) and i broke fpv watch screen ribbon Cable so really it cost me an additional $120 but i knew it would work in the end , it was way over budget but it works flawless now ! just wish it wasent a flysky protocol i can go more in detail for thoes who want to know but this is all im going to say about the build process to keep this post short . i will have a youtubelink soon as i have a new build to test it with.

Hi , cool work ,
Flysky protocol , is called IBUS and it is better than S bus , because it is not inverted , So it can be used on any URT , accept the urt that has been specifically set up for s bus, some Flysky recievers can be set to output s bus,
But you probably know this,
I like using my old flysky gear for other rc projects , FR SKY is overly complex to set up and update,
Flysky seems cheap , but it always works,.
No open tx bull to mess with and the mixers in the flysky radios are good enough for 99% of things you may want to do,
Cheers

yes i do like the simple design /operation but wish it was a able to support crossfire protocol inside just like the hacked flysky transmitter fsi6/fsi6x that Dronemesh on youtube made

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..
