Hi everyone. Here is my first rookie video taken from a turnigy keychain camera that was strapped on to my custom built 550mm quadrocopter.  ;)

My setup:
Motors - AX380N 1200Kv
ESC - Turnigy Plush 18A
Battery - Turnigy 2200mAh, 20c discharge rate
FC - KK2 board flashed with v1.5 firmware
Arms - 12mmx12mmx0.8mm cross-section aluminum extrusion
Centre-plate - 5mm thick polycarbonate sheet
Landing gear - Hiller 500 Heli Skids with aluminum rod
Camera - Turnigy keychain cam (of course!!!)  ;D

Any suggestions/remarks would be appreciated!  :thumbsup:

PS - I am very grateful to Adiboy for sourcing the FC, the complete power system and the Camera at a great price & sincerely thankful to Ashta sir for helping me figure out some anomalies over phone.
 :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

This is so cool! Veloci, my compliments. My cam is ready and fitted and I hope I get the same results. {:)}

Thanks fr the appreciation, sir! Bet ur video would be way cooler than this one..... ;-)

Btw, how did u 'fit' the cam to the quad sir? I used double sided foam tape along with a piece of high density foam to achieve the required angle. Would luv to snag a few ideas frm u :-D

Hi everyone. Here is the second rookie video shot today.  ;D

Really nice control you have on your quad. Keep it up.

Thanks raja_masthana and satyagupta sir. And thanks for the help over phone abt prop balancing also :-) special thanks to dharmik bhai for helping me out with the esc heating issue. :-)

I have keycam #3 but gives bit low resolution video, yours is really clear

Dharmik bhai, google 808 keychain cam. U'll get a lot of solutions on chuck lohr's site. Thanks to adiboy, i got this amazing cam at a superb price :-D

Great men think alike ...........fools seldom differ. :rofl:


After seeing the second video taken from the ground, I can see who has to learn from whom........... :hatsoff:

Superb video there... I am sure you will work upon reducing the vibrations...!

I almost forgot..   :giggle: :giggle:

You're Welcome...!  :bow:

Ya. Need to think :-)

Great build...i really missd this one :)
hey, are these default PI settings and other settings? I will update mine to 1.5

Yes. Default settings on v1.5. :-D

Amazing. You fly great. I aint a good pilot. Dont even know what makes it go left and right. Just fly randomly. :(

Practise on sim. Helps get the orientation rite. Cheers!

Here is a recent video with the 5.8GHz FPV kit.
Was testing the stability of the Arduflyer 2.5 that i just received from RCTIMER.

Good one  Abhishek!  {:)} {:)} {:)}
Have you tried any other modes in APM MP?

Thanks Cheluvaraj :)
Praveen Sir, I was going to call you up today regarding the other modes as i am unable to assign the switches for Altitude hold, RTL and loiter!.....Pls help...

Hope this may help you!

unfortunately this list doesn't have your radio settings , but you need to do some R&D for getting all six modes!
If you have any doubt  call me!

I have already gone through that sir. In fact, the whole tuning and setup was done by referring the diydrones arducopter page. Will give it another try and call you at a suitable time. Thank you sir.

Here is one more FPV video from the famed HOSKOTE LAKE BED....Must admit its a darn good place to fly....

Cheers!  ;D

Very impressive footage. Any plan to record it on hd cam later?

Thanks Dharmik bhai!
This is the 420TVL sony camera that i bought from Quadkopters.
Quality is good when connected to a TV/Monitor but once i start recording, the quality goes down....
The USBDVR seems to be the culprit here.
Planning to upgrade to HD cam/GoPro soon...  ;D
