Hello guys,

I am building my first quadcopter using raspberry pi as final project in my university.
Here is my question:
My esc doesn't have bec output.How else can supply the raspberry?
 
You'll need at least a few amps maybe more (at 5V) depending on what all you plan to hook up to the Pi and power. In general what you're looking for is called a buck converter (I believe UBEC is just a special term for a buck converter or linear regulator but these are the more specific terms to look up). There are lots of buck converters and ones with buck and boost built into one so they can both step down or step up voltage but would get the simplest one you can find that meets requirements (less weight less things to go wrong or components to break).

Different board here but might be of interest too https://coral.withgoogle.com/tutorials/devboard-datasheet/#power-specifications from what I gather can potentially read in one or more camera feeds and/or do some on board object detection etc. which would be super awesome :)

.... oh sorry wrong one, was thinking of this one https://www.androidauthority.com/nvidia-jetson-nano-966609/ too many little system boards available now can't keep track
