Boner FPV publishes Dutch Swear Words, while I fly the MASH Suicide Song - FPV IS DEAD.
Youtube has cratered and FPV is dead! Nobody want's to watch your phwakin FPV video. And if nobody wants to watch FPV videos any more, why watch talking head videos about trying to get FPV to work. You're wasting your time... the world has moved on from the hoola hoop and the lawn dart.
nice build! I designed the mantis frame and it's really cool to see this build as I orginially designed it for open prop toothpicks. could you give me some more feedback on this frame to improve it? anything helps. thanks for checking it out!
Hi! Great build and report! What length MIPI cable between O3 unit and camera did you use?
There are longer third-party cables, in case if standard is not enough for specific build. As for camera - of course it works only with original O3 cameras, and it will for sure stay this way:) BTW, i can advise to disassemble the camera and apply additional glue along the line of contact of the lens casing and matrix casing (where thin line of gray glue is). If you crash the quad hard enough - lens may un-glue in that place, and glueing it back is not a good option because you cannot control the distance between the lens and matrix with the necessary precision - and most likely will get a blurred image. Happened to me twice.
how long are your flight times with that beautiful machine? thats is a hell of print job. mad props bro, turned out top notch 👏👏
been researching motors for my next long flight/range 7" and had used 2807.5. yet am looking at a little larger motor for hauling larger batteries. do you find the extra.5 of the 2808 give you what you need to lift larger li ion for long flights?
Hey LynxFPV awesome build. I was looking to build my first cinewhoop using the same motors, frame and vtx. One question tho. Anyway you can show how you mounted your rushvtx?
i go back in time to find the photo in google photos. but i mounted it to the bottom plate with three screws and double sided tape. and made sure to have a 90°mmcx to the back right where i can still access the buttons of the Solo.
the Cinelog 35 with this set up flys amazing! you'll be surprised off the first back with a massive smile.
I'm at work now so when i get a chance i will find a picture or just take a new one when i get back home.
at first I thought it was some spam, not even a drone build, but I started reading the text, and it turned out to be some weird fpv related rabbit hole, so I am really puzzled now what I've just read.

5 years before Bardwell or Steele ever ducttaped a POS baby monitor camera to balsa sticks... I was flaming boys nonstop in aerial combat on my highly Python modified and labor of love server 15 years before Velocidrone Combat or the first Quadcopter Sim, period. I am legend. Welcome to being in the know ;-)
Interesting that when I make a Rotorbuilds page outlining how I want to build a free FPV park 50 miles west of Rampage it gets viewed as spam, but when fucking Botgrinder does it a few months later himself after reading my page... the bro culutre literally bends over backwards throwing $35,000 at him. Very annoyed considering I typed up my project with 8 burnt fingers in bandages from putting out a house fire at night, but instead you throw your money at an ADD stoner who's going to smoke at least 15% of it up for sure in bluntz. Shrug, whatever! I didn't even ask for money, and was goign to grill out for everyone for free. Too late now... pay your $75 just to be a spectator at the sausage fest that is Rampage, what do I care... enjoy not getting to fly and basking in the presence of Bad Advice Barnwad.
The esc maybe salvageable as it looks like it may have just overheated and enough to desolder the fets, to be honest the worse looking one is outputting to motor 4 and is not desoldered. I'd try getting them back into position with a heatgun and see if they are detected in blheli afterwards. I've had luck doing that with another esc more than a year ago and it's still running today.
I know how that goes! I have had a Foxeer F7 and Reaper 8s 80amp esc 20x20 for over a year know I've been holding onto for a project to use in but have not felt right about putting them in just another quad. I could see building one of these speed drones through but I have yet to find any prints for it online and am shit at designing myself. If you know any public files I'd be very grateful for a link.
Good build. What is the weight of the drone without battery?
Ouch. There is only the weight restriction here in America. My AOS rips, especially if I use the 2.5" pitch props. Still no where near my Quadmula F5 split but it's pretty fast. I was very comfortable flying my 3" vista build aggressively through my neighborhood. I rarely fly the AOS in my neighborhood and usually walk about 5 minutes to a small park to fly it.
There is some pretty good info out there on de-casing the O3. I think it shaves at least 10g off the weight......
I'm probly going to sell my current aos 3.5 and make a new one with the same motors as you. Wonder if you can make a video with using max throttle. Want to compare them to the rcinpower 1804 motors. I will upload a few videos to on my youtube channel and post them :). Your build is perfect, can even add foxeer gps with compass.
I'm actually in the middle of updating mine slightly. I'm switching the AIO for the Speedybee. I put a Speedybee stack on my 5" and i really like the built in wifi Bluetooth. Tuning in the field so easily is awesome and using their AIO only adds a gram to my build.
I'll finish before the weekend and get you some videos. i think you'll find that the T-motors are actually going to give you more thrust. kv is important and the T-motors have about 16% higher kv than those 1804 motors. The T-motors were made specifically for 3.5" freestyle builds whereas i believe those 1804s were made for cinawhoops.
