Hi, I'm completely new to this forum and the drone world. I'm looking to do some photogrammetry. Survey grade eventually, but RTK/PPK is beyond my budget atm (the coronavirus sucks). I've bought a Dji F550 kit to learn and get started. Haven't received it yet but I'm trying to do some...

I am a part of the engineering team of a startup company called Zeius. We are currently in development of a drone with gaming capabilities. As we've made progress on our internal developer tools we thought the drone community could benefit from these tools as well. We are developing a...

Hi, I have a camera taken out of an old usb webcam. It has four wires attached to and labeled on the board: 5V (red); DM (white); DP (green); and GND (black). I was thinking I could use it just like a 'normal' FPV camera and get a transmitter for it. However, it has four wires rather than three...

Hi Folks, Noob here, so I hope this isn't a well-worn thread somewhere.... I'm considering building a Y6, but flying it reversed, ie boom forward. Has anyone tried this and worked out bugs (especially stability)? (I also like & will be building quads, hexes, octos, etc, so it's not an either/or...

Help!! I have just built my first drone (3D printed) and have got it flying- it all works except for the front left motor will randomly cut out for a split second, which is enough to flip the whole drone before it powers back up and hurtles towards the ground .I have a 4in1 ESC, wired to a PDB...

Hi everyone! I am quite new to drones and quadcopters, and I am still learning to fly. I have two smaller cheap chinese quads at home for now, one with FPV and one without. However I am not very pleased with the ones I have as they feel and behave very low-quality, and the flight-time is under...

If you want to win a FPV drone racing, there are two important points: one is your superb flight skill, and another is your good FPV drone. About flight skill, you need to do more flight training, but get a good FPV drone is easier than flight skill. So How to build a fast FPV quadcopter...

Hi everyone, I just built my first quadcopter and I am facing a problem with ESCs, I'm using T-Motor F30A ESCs. I tried to calibrate them but nothing happens, they start beeping however the motors are not spinning. I tried to read the escs using the BLHeli Configurator, but the app are not able...

Frog Race Frog Lite is a beautiful frame with Carbon Fiber 4mm Arm, it's an easy build and weighs in at only 286g. I really liked this frame, and I decided to build a Frog Race Frog Lite 218mm quad. This build supports Dshot600 and offers OSD for voltage monitoring and a built-in blackbox for...

Hello all, I was really hoping you might be able to help me fix my Simtoo FollowMe drone in time to take it on holiday next week - the whole purpose for buying it. One of the prop motors (silver) has been damaged and judders when the drone powers up before take-off. I have found an example of a...

Hi! I've been longing for a drone for long and finally decided to buy a real drone! I already own multiple small toy drones and now i want to go for something bigger. I have some requirements, as decent flying time and capable of fpv with GoPro. I've got a budget of around 400 dollars maximum...

Hi all, I have builded my first DIY quadcopter and have some unresolved issues with it. Unfortunately it is not stable enough to hover and fly. Quad begins to overcompensate and lose control very quickly if given higher throttle (30% throttle or more). Total weight of quad is around 1,5kg...

Hi dronevibes friends, I'd like to share my experience in the construction of my first racing drone. I've never assembled one before, (so everything is a surprise for me) to get started in the world of drones and after make some search, in my opinion this kit is a perfect base for it. In this...

Hey guys and gals, As I mentioned a short while ago, I've made a short film that features a drone as a character. Well, it's finally up on the web! It was originally created to go along with a Kickstarter event and as a film festival entry. I decided to release it early to help build a mailing...
