As Li-Ion cells have higher energy density than LiPo (more capacity mAh at the same weight), they make great battery for long range flying, in this post I will show you how I built a 4S 18650 Li-Ion battery.
You can build a working GoPro Hero 6 with spare parts and it might be cheaper than buying the whole camera. If you want a naked GoPro this is way more convenient as you won’t have to spend time taking the camera apart.
The Radiomaster TX16S is probably the most versatile budget radios out there right now. However one of the biggest complains has been the unremovable antenna. I modified my TX16S to have a removable antenna.
As part of my new project to build a 120g micro drone including a GoPro, I stripped down a Hero 6 Black camera, from 117 grams to only 17 grams! It’s amazing how much weight we can take away from the GoPro and it still works :D
This post explains how I built my FPV display, a great tool for bench testing, and it lets others watch your flying in the field. This project requires 3D printing, some cheap components and basic soldering skills.
I downloaded the latest version of BLHelisuite (BLHeli Configurator) recently for my BLHeli ESC, but the program won’t open on my Windows 10 PC. There is just no response no matter how many times I click on it. This solution also for BLHeli_32 / BLHeli_S.
Here I will list some of the upgrade parts and accessories for the Jumper T16 / T16 Pro. Feel free to let me know if there are custom parts that I am missing here!
The Anti-fog fan in Fatshark’s FPV goggles is primitive, so I decided to upgrade mine. You’d be able to switch on and off the fan whenever you want, and it supports higher voltage input and adjustable fan speed.
I designed some 3D printed parts for the Martian II mini quad frame. They are not going to make you fly faster, but definitely will make building and repairing more enjoyable!
Are you having trouble with motor outputs on a flight controller? One of the motors just doesn’t spin when you arm the quad? In this post I will share some experience how to troubleshoot and fix “dead” motor outputs on an FC.
It’s important to keep your 3D filament dry. Filament with moisture trapped in it can cause quality issues with your prints. I will show you how I store my 3D filaments in low humidity condition.
