First quadcopter Build ZMR250

[gustavssonB]

Hi, I just wanted to share my build of my little creation



It is a ZMR250 frame glassfiber with 20mm spacers instead of 35mm,
Many parts I have ripped apart and resoldered without pin connectors

-Motors: DYS 1806 2300KV
-ESC: 12A with SimonK firmware
-Flightcontroller: CC3D openpilot
-Reciever: FS-t6
-Propeller: Gemfan 5040 and 5045
-Battery: 3s 1500mah and 2200mah

FPV system:
-200mw video transmitter and rc305 reciever
-2x 600tvl 170 degree cameras ( one pointing forward and one pointing downwards)
-videoswitch 1g controlled by the reciever
-home made goggles 7" lcd monitor with fresnel lens
-also sometimes I have the lcd mounted to the radio controller instead

To record flight I have a mobius action camera

Pictures of the build:

Came out nice. Neat work.

How are the DYS motors working out?

I think the DYS are doing great, but these motors is the only ones that I have ever used so I dont have anything to compare with.
with 5040 propellers and 3s battery they produced 1600g of thrust not including the quacopter ( so it have 1050g of thrust over the 550g of cuadcopter) don't know if this is good or bad.

Today I received a diatone pcb, and I also replaced the video transmitter to a smaller one to save som weight and space. Now it's 30g lighter








I olso had to redo the voltage alarm ones again...

Looks great, can you switch the cameras mid-flight, or do you have to do it on the ground?

You now have me thinking about making my build able to switch from the FPV cam to the recording cam xD. You could use an Arduino to make the switch when either a auxiliary button on the Tx is pressed or if you do a special action with the sticks.

thanks, the camera can be switched mid flight with blackscreen of 0.5 second between the switch. It would be perfect if you have the recording camera in a different angle. as long as you can get analog video feed from the recording camera the 1g switch will work. cost 4 dollar on banggood.

Hi mate. Cool looking zmr. What did you use to make the black body you have surrounding the frame? Looks awesome!

Thanks, The Wall around the frame is black electric-tape. It is perfect for the job, any grass or dirt that get inside Will stick to the tape also. So the inside components are always clean.
