Low-budget FPV freestyle drone - build time-lapse
This is a timelapse of low-budget fpv freestyle drone which I built for my friend last year (yes, in 2018). Not all the components are up to date, but it still might be helpful to somebody as inspiration.
I was too weak to discard almost finished video which I had in progress for longer than a year.... so that's why I'm posting that anyway.
Flight videos start at 22:21
Total cost: 179 USD
---------------------------------------
TIMESTAMPS:
0:15 - assembling bottom part of frame
2:32 - mounting motors
4:20 - soldering ESCs to motors
6:45 - soldering ESCs to flight controller
12:30 - placing ESC guards
14:18 - soldering power lead to FC
15:15 - soldering receiver to FC
16:03 - soldering VTx to FC
17:00 - soldering camera to FC (really bad choice of camera... it's cheap, image is usable, but mounting was such a pain)
17:42 - mounting receiver antennas and frame standoffs
19:05 - mounting VTx antenna
20:00 - placing foam landing pads
20:10 - mountig FPV camera (ghetto-style... pls don't judge me)
21:12 - applying loctite glue to motor screws
21:35 - placing lipo foam pad
21:50 - shortening power lead

22:11 - photos
22:21 - HD flight video
23:39 - DVR flight video (golden hour light conditions)
---------------------------------------
COMPONENTS:
Motors (4 x 13 $): https://bit.ly/32UdIsE
Emax RS2205-2300 - older, but great quality motors, still good option
Esc (4 x 7 $): https://bit.ly/2QuMMx8
HGLRC BS28A BLHeli - great cheap esc
Frame (21 $): https://bit.ly/2XlEwkB
Anniversary Special Edition Martian 215mm - durable, cheap, plenty of room inside, great for beginers
VTx (12 $): https://bit.ly/3487jLK
Eachine VTX03 Super Mini 5.8G 72CH - decent vtx for the money
Camera (12 $): https://bit.ly/33VUzIf
Eachine 1000TVL 1/3 CCD 110 Degree 2.8mm - well it's cheap and usable... but it's nothing awesome and was super-painful to mount. I would recommend to throw more cash away to get decent camera... this was just emergency
Fc + pdb (40 $): https://bit.ly/2CSh3Ol
Matek F405-CTR - awesome fc+pdb combo, cheap and performs great
Receiver (11 $): https://bit.ly/2Qryrl2
Flysky 2.4G 6CH FS-iA6B Receiver - old and bulky receiver for FlySky radio, but still viable option for larger frames like Martian
---------------------------------------
OTHER COMPONENTS:
Propellers (3 $): https://bit.ly/32VYXFQ
cyclone t5045c - good durable props, well balanced flight characteristics
Batteries (23 $): https://bit.ly/2CXLRgx
AHTECH Infinity 4S 14.8V 1500mAh 85C - cheap but great quality lipo packs
