I recently tried to build the minimum possible quadcopter (for my skill set), and was surprised to find out betaflight worked with one of those cheap BlackPill boards. You just need to flash the STM32F411 board, and the config things through the CLI. Sorry if this is obvious to everyone here...

Hey all, I was originally going to post this in the technical/build section, but figured there may be general interest/curiosity in seeing the puncture tests and disassembled LiPos. Disclaimer: Everything in this video is DANGEROUS, and the processes described require extreme CAUTION as well as...

I was actually trying to make a quad within 10-20$ I plan to buy the following parts- 1) Syma X5C Motors - 4$ 2) Propeller - 2$ 3) Lipo Battery - 3.5$ 4) Eachine E010 receiver board - 5$ 5) Eachine E011C transmitter - 5$ Is there anything else I'll be needing?? Will these stuff be enough...

I saw someone share his 180 quad build parts and I'm very interesting in it, and I will list his quad build parts, I want to know which one is good and bad? give me some advice, Just want to learn more build experience. Maybe I will build a scuh quad in future. These are the 180 quad build...

I am a total noob programmer and engineer looking to use drones as a first step in this field of learning while I go to school. I already order a simple JJRC H31 with the 2mp camera as a starter. I will already be making mods(like the FOV & antennas)and working with waterproof resin(at least...

Hey Guys, first time poster here. I have recently started in the drone market. I have bought a few $100-$200 drones and taught myself how to fly and repair the drones. But I want something more. I want to build my own drone with a nice camera that I can view live. The frame I want is linked...

The last couple of months a was working on a new frame design! I wanted to make a very light and yet strong frame. The whole frame was made out of 4 mm carbon fiber and weights only 90 grams. Watch this video to see the frame come to life.

I have decided to do a DIY Quadcopter. I will be purchasing a starter kit to jump start the project since this is my first DIY. I have some questions concerning the RC transmitter/receiver though. I have made the questions bold. The starter kit comes with: 1) Carbon Fiber Frame 2) CC3D Flight...

Hi! My first build attempt. I'm still gathering info and not yet ordered the parts. This drone should be able in future to be able to lift gimbal + sports cam (like GoPro etc'). I'm also planning to add FPV, OSD and GPS. Please note that I'm extremely tight on budget so go easy on me :) Frame...

Hey guys. I was flying the other day and I was doing some flips/rolls and stuff and I suppose my fpv camera lens came loose, because it had fallen off of the camera board! I have this camera: http://shop.runcam.com/runcam-pz0420m/ . I looked around on the internet and I was looking at this lens...

Hi all, I have builded my first DIY quadcopter and have some unresolved issues with it. Unfortunately it is not stable enough to hover and fly. Quad begins to overcompensate and lose control very quickly if given higher throttle (30% throttle or more). Total weight of quad is around 1,5kg...

Hi from South Africa everyone! My dad has been involved in drones for a while now and he has managed to infect me with the craze when I flew his 3DR Solo (which I flicked to sport mode and flew at breakneck speed around the grounds). I mentioned an interest in drone racing once I had flown his...

Hi I'd like to build a small quadcopter without any (or, better said, as little as possible) pre-build parts: I'd like to program by myself one/some microcontroller/s to control the motors and the sensors I'm going to use and I should be able to do it, but I actually don't now how to make all...

Want to sell my first build. For just the cost of parts. PIDS are tuned. Everything is essentially brand new. Its seen about 25 flights with no hard crashes. I'm asking 250$ for all. Let me know if your interested or have any questions. :] Weight: 530g (With Battery) Frame: QAV250 Motors: DYS...

Since I have made up my mind to get a pre-ordered Yuneec Typhoon H for my Video drone and a couple of starter (learning) drones: Potensic® Upgraded X5C-1 Syma Explorer 2.4GHz 6 Axis Gyro 4CH RC Quadcopter with 2 Megapixels Camera and JJRC H20C Nano 2MP Camera Hexacopter Quadcopter 2.4G 6CH...

In my opinion the best way to enjoy FPV is with video goggles. Sadly the cheapest FPV goggles out there is around $150. $150 I don't have. So i came up with a solution! A DIY pair you can make for $42! Sure the experience isn't as great as what you would get from a Fatshark or other high end FPV...

Hey guys. Last month I was taking out my 450 quad for a flight. I began to take off and as I reached enough thrust to get off the ground, the two right motors throttled up a lot more without my command and it flopped over, breaking the props. My latest shipment of props just came in (after...
