So does anyone want my pile of gimbal stuff?

 

How much you want for it?

 

If i was to get it i'd use it like i used your cops (coils)... they still sitting in my closet 4 years later fully wired just gotta get spliced in the car...

 

Pics of the parts on previous page, dunno how about 50 bucks? I gave up on DIY and went simpler

 

Ok, instead of Gimbal stuff i'm going to sell the big CF rig of mine. Flys great on the basic KK2.1 and with a 100 buck gimbal shot great video. However its built for a bigger camera that i'll never bother sending it up with and way overkill for me. The FPV works but never had the opportunity to use it due to being around folks and uncomfortable with testing.

Its a Tarot 680 Pro, folds up nicely for transport.
Has Turnigy 690KV motors and Carbon Fiber props (including a full plastic spare set and 4 pairs of extra NEW CF props)
Afro ESCs - unsure of flashed/updated or not but they controlled perfectly.
middle and front struts are wrapped in two different LED colors and powered by their own ESC.
FPV is the basic Hobby king FPV setup that has the foam case face piece
Battery is a 30c 5000mah 4cell
Controller is a Flysky setup

So, anyone else sucked in and built one of the 250 size fpv racing quads everyone seems to be crapping themselves over right now?

 

I have not built one I hit the "But it now" button on a vortex 285 and my flying buddy has a vortex 250 pro. They are a blast. Bought it at Christmas still don't have a good handle on FPV I fly it line of sight much better but I'm getting better.

 

Late reply, but I built a little 250 racer. Nice little build, very tidy.

Unfortunately I cant even begin to fly the thing. Just hovering it around or trying to fly a pattern is challenging. I have no idea how these guys race them.

 

I'm guessing that it's the same kids that were mocking me 10 years ago in Unreal Tournament instagib games.

 

Same here. I can fly the **** out of my larger stuff on full manual, but my 250 is a nightmare.

 

A lot of those are now using vr goggles to fly them in 3d.

I've got a pair of 3DR Solos gathering dust at the office. I should really do something with them someday :-/

 

Okay, made it through the thread... some nice builds.

I've been into RC modeling since I was 9-10, but I've always just flown fixed wing aircraft for the most part. I'm not into quad racing, I'm more of a cruiser, but I have a 450mm I 3d printed and built last year, pics will be below. I'm just too slow to be good at the racing, and i find more interest in distance/endurance.

It's a DJI Naza Lite FC w/the regular Naza firmware flashed on it and a DJI motor/esc pack I got off a friend for like 30 bucks. I use a RunCam2 for the camera on it. Not shown in the picture there, but I have a xmitter pod on that fits on the opposite arm with a 5.8ghz transmitter. I have other various accessories I've designed and printed for like dropping cargo and fun things like that. It's based on the "Crossfire2" on thingiverse, and I've submitted a lot of improvements to the design there as well. Battery is a 8000 mAh 4S and it flys so long I get bored most of the time and land.

I also had a DJI Phantom 3 as my "nice" quad until 3 months ago. I had designed a bunch of auxillery battery pack holders for it, and ran them in parallel with the main pack. I sold it before the new Phantom came out and it was worthless.

Sorry I don't have any pics of it just by itself.

 

has anyone flown the Inductrix micro quad or similar yet? It is a blast ripping through the house FPV without hurting anything.

 

So i got a drone from work. Protocol Dronium 2... 35 bucks, nothing fancy but for 35 bucks i couldnt pass it up.

 

Needs more chainsaw.
