Excellent news. What motors do you plan to provide?

Great...
What is the capacity of the battery you are using?
And how are the motors holding up with 3S, heating issues?

ashimda

Thanks everyone. I am using a 3cell 1800, and the Escs and motors barely get warm. My batteries are middle aged like me, and after a flight they seem a bit on warm side. Have ordered a new 3cell 1300, will compare the difference after they arrive.

Same ones that you are using 1804 2400KV (these are best)

very very good flight there buddy, DJI naza? can you picture of you quad? (current quad) and which video recorder did you used?

my mini quad here is just doing its merry go round, it starts rotating on yaw axis. I am yet to find and fix that problem :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I used the Mobius camera and yes the naza lite takes care of all the flight woes with ease. The KK2.1 was also giving me yaw problems and I had to give excessive trim to keep it fixed in one direction. The Naza is for a bigger quad I'm gonna build. I fitted it on the mini to get used to FPV. Once I get the hang of flying FPV I will try and get my hands on the Naze32 FC. From what I have read it is the preferred choice of the mini Quad community.

Nice flight and footage. It seems you are doing FPV using LCD screen. Where you strapped your cam? This quad has confine space. This is how i got mine setup. I have added recording cam to the bottom secured with sponge. No props in FOV.

Dharmik I would suggest you to get rid of dual battery setups, it just adds to AUW in mini quads. I found that, routing wires away from interferences helps a lot, you can also use LC filters if you wish, you can DIY them yourself. I made one myself with all the parts recycled from a dead AC pcb.

ashimda

Thank you Everyone. I used Fatshark goggles for FPV, and the Mobius for HD recording. The Mobius is a great little cam, and for the money the video is great, but light changes do effect the image. Dharmik is right about lack of real-estate , I reassembled the quad today to make more space.

Very well done ashimda  {:)} From concept to execution marvelously done   :salute:  I tried quads (correHcopter :D ) few years back (using KK blue board which had serious yaw issues) and was thinking of doing quads again. The information and links you provided earlier in this thread is very helpful. Cheers mate!

ashimda

Glad I could help. Will be starting a 400 size quad build soon, just have to decide on a frame.

Great 250 (-; only problem with smaller quads is that lack of space and flight time

ashimda

The mini quads were developed mainly for FPV. Because of the small size, flying these LOS, you have to keep it close or you can loose sight and orientation.
You are right though fitting all the  equipment can be a B..ch.
