DIY and Hacks

The URUAV Gimbal Backlight is a DIY kit that you can install in the TX16S radio. The LED strips light up around the gimbal sticks, it looks awesome at night, even visible during the day.

You can build a working GoPro Hero 6 and 8 from spare parts, and it can actually be cheaper than buying the whole camera. If you want a naked GoPro, this is way more convenient…

The Radiomaster TX16S is a great radio, but you can’t remove/swap/upgrade the antenna for the internal multiprotocol module. In this tutorial, I modified my TX16S with a SMA pigtail so it has a removable antenna.

By stripping down the GoPro Hero 6 and removing all the unnecessary parts you can reduce the weight drastically from 117g to 17g. This enables a cinewhoop, or even smaller FPV drone to carry the…

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…

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…

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…

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!
