Hi all
Great thread - lots of helpful information in here. I'm thinking about putting together a light'ish quad for AP (mix of hobby use and occasional work-related use). I like the specs and performance of the X650 Pro but am keen on HD FPV via DJI Lightbridge. I'm toying with the idea of a build per the following specs:
- XAircraft X650 Pro frame
- XAircraft 30A ESCs w/ T-Motors 3110 800KV (X650 Pro power kit)
- T-Motor 12x4 CF props
- DJI WK-M or A2 (must be DJI to interface with Lightbridge; not considering Naza due to flyaway issues)
- DJI Lightbridge (incl. control RX/TX + video RX/TX + OSD)
- DJI H3-3D gimbal
- GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition
- Futuba 14sg (total overkill as Lightbridge does the TX via trainer cable, but can use it for other models in future)
- Samsung S4 display (possibly a 10" Android tablet later)
Also need UBECs, brackets for mounting Lightbridge + phone on TX, 4S batteries, etc that I would need to research further. This is my first quad so I'm really jumping in at the deep end ... my prior experience is with light planes / gliders and small helis.
Any suggestions or comments re the specs? It's an exxy build and feels like overkill in many ways, but I'm trying to build a stable flight platform with decent run time (around 15 mins, climbing to no more than 100m) and HD video link.
@X650Mouse Seems you're also based in Australia. Any recommendations for Australian stores/distributors, or do you buy your gear in from OS? I'm based in Perth.
