Fixed wing guys been doing this same idea for a long time - I think most people are more worried about a catastrophic crash on their quads. This is a great little mount though and I may try this for my planes.
Hehe, you know what got me into watching this vid? The thumb of course. Why, because your backpack from the side looked like an immersion RC analog module. Rapidfire. That were times ;) The o3 backpack looks like a nice gopro session type thingy. Great video. Btw, I didn't need the subtitles understood you clearly! Greets from Austria, Mario
Hey yea man it sure does look like that module, I actually have that on my workstation now lol. Glad this simple thumbnail made u click and thanks for watching! Rip on Mario!
Freaking dope man I've been thinking about getting a digital but the prices so much and I'm a broke as still running analog lol this would save me so much I might be able to afford going digital with this hack
make a small pcb circuit with a pushbutton that can be used to switch between O3 and vista just by pressing the button. You need to have a dual O3 to FC cable harness so that no need to unplug from FC. Just keep that harness FC to dual Air unit harness plugged in all the time and that connects to the PCB with a push button and a mini relay circuit to switch between 2 air units. So that whenever u want to use this O3 ready go kit all you need to do is plug the cable already hanging out from your FC and press the push button to switch the connection from vista to O3 and if you want to use vista just unplug this O3 and that saves some time in unscrewing top plate and removing the cable from vista and connecting back to o3, anyways your idea is cool as i said doesn't works with cinewhoops
I have been planning on doing one of these for my new Walksnail setup (I already have one for my old FatShark Analog setup - so old it has dip switches, lol).
Thks for d tip... Looking forward to hear yr xperience how it flies with it. D mounted profile looks quite high. Noted that d wiring fr O3 au to d FC needs to make sure is correct b4 plugged in. If flies well, I wld buy xtra wires n leave it connected to d FCs in all quads n I simply move around d O3 to each quad. 😅 Unfortunately I have already bought several O3 sets for each of my quads b4 yr vid. Anyway thks bro... 🙏🙏
YOU ARE MY NEW HERO!!!!😂👏👏👏👏👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😉😉😉😉😉💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Thanks to share this amazing, simple, easy, cheap ideia to fly digital im all my kwads saving a lot of money!!!
Yea crashes will be an issue so i guess its better for cruisers or cinewhoops. As for resonance, its not that bad. But if you’re worried abt it maybe you can remix the backpack to be a frame-specific mount. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
@@enmodeandroid hi my guy. Sorry but what do u mean by glasses? Do u mean goggles? If yes, i am using goggles 2. Dont think Dji goggles v1 are compatible but i might be wrong, not really in tune with the latest firmware updates.
It is a good concept, unfortunately the DJI O3 isn't durable enough to handle this configuration. People break GoPro's daily being top mounted, while the vtx camera usually survives inside the frame.
Yea man thats the only downside. Works well for cruisers and cinewhoops but for freestyle maybe not. From experience, the o3 could take a beating tho. But i will not purposely push it 😂
Be good for a wing, but I'd be hesitant about that particular design. I'd want it to be mounted inside one with feet bolted onto the frame rather than the type with eyelets & a screw. These tear really easily. Good video & idea. Just need a better tpu mount is all. Good job. 👍🏻
Yea man definitely. Its a good concept with alot of room for modification n improvement! The possibilities are up to u from here on out. Thankx for dropping by my guy! 🤜🏾🤛🏾
DJI is most likely find a way to ban this video, or releasing an update to pair the air unit with the flight controller based on serial number through the UART (somehow).
Nah man dun think they’ll bother figuring out how to do that. The aim for o3 is so that it can be used on different quads, this hack just makes it easier.
This makes no sense at all, when i still have to use tweezers or remove the top plate and use a plug on the FC. if i ever will do this, the plug should be fixed on top plate. maybe using the green mpx plugs or something else with 4 or 6 pins depeding on the radio used. but if yo use it like this way you have to give up some things: 1 weight, 2 safe position in frame and most important you use a vibrations source with this mount, because the antenne is also on it. that is not a good solution. i just bought naked gopros for my bigger quads, because i got sic after changing the cams between the flights the whole day. i would rather stay with the vistas and gopro, before i got to the O3. its just not enough.
I just worked on what i currently have in my builds to show how easy it is as an example. How you wish to run it is of coz up to u. There you go, u already have ideas on how to improve it by just watching this simple video. Thats the whole idea in making a basic video, room for improvement by the user to match individual needs.
@rolliseventeen surely someone as clever as you could make a patch lead (Plug one end, socket on the other) for each drone so eliminating the need to remove anything, a few connectors and some wire won't cost too much.
@@AlfieDoug you dont have to be clever to do this, this is base knowledge of the hobby if you want to multi swap a fc or something else. swapping a O3 maybe usefull, but not with this adjustable mount and the oa weight with AU and Antenna and this cube case. i do not even think a good video quality is possible with that. just too much weight on a not rigid prat outside the frame. but lets see.... what the video quality will be.
@@rolliseventeenDon't tell me, do something useful like make a video as good and informative as the original posters ( unlike your flawed Betaflight video) and I will then think your clever otherwise you are just another armchair critic trolling the comments.
'' If you broke but still want to get on the hype train and rock the DJI 03 Air Unit, fret no more! All you need is one air unit to convert your whole fleet!

Its not new, just like changing a flat tyre, but theres tons of videos that is still coming to teach people on it. Maybe its not for u but its mainly for people who already rock the OG air unit/vista and for people who are currently thinking of buying more units. Thanks for watching tho!
@@SkyCandyVisuals yup it could but u cant get good footage n u still need a gopro. O3 footage is good enough so it can replace the gopro. Yea bro just go to thingiverse and search “dji o3” ull find a few versions.
Would you try this out? Lemme know!
no

Definitely yes

Yea man its awesome. Can even be fixed into an rc car and sit back. On quads i guess it’ll be best on cruisers where u dun rly fly to crash.
I run an FR7 (7” quad) for mid-range cruising… not more than a mile currently on OG air unit but waiting to get the O3 installed.
@@KendallSmithFPV hey thats my 7” setup too! With og au. Its the perfect frame coz fpv cam is mounted on top too.
@@DopeyFPV - Couldn’t agree more - it’s such a great design. I’m designing some easy-to-print arm landing gear like I used for my 10” quad.
Excellent idea and implementation! You get the benefit of having props out of view as well.
Thx bud! Yup thats another plus point if you’re not running a deadcat frame. Enjoy bro!

respect to your youtube come up. i don’t know you or do i look at fpv drones a lot but i figured i’d come by check it out and drop a like.
Thank u tommy!! 🤜🏾🤛🏾
I like it.😊
I'm glad you like it🤜🏾🤛🏾
Absolutely amazing idea. Definitely doing this.
Thanks bro! Let me know how it turns out for ya! 🤜🏾🤛🏾
You may also be able to find a good connector like a usb c and make it so you can easily unplug it and plug it into other quads.
Yup, that will be the easiest way.
twice the views as subs. GREAT FIND, even better share. 🎉

@@adithyafpv if it can be mounted on, it can work on anything bro. Just need some tweaks on your frame.
Awesome. I'm a broke pilot, I only have one Quad, only one DJI 03 Air Unit. 😅😅
Cool video 😎
I have only 1 concern... the camera mount coming off and ripping the 03 air unit cable to bits.. but its a great idea
Haha yea man. Dont rip too hard with this rig for sure. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

No worries bro, anything to save someone some money in this expensive hobby.
Alright!!! This is super useful.

Wont the O3 overheat with that much tpu around it
@@trumblez nah as long as u fly with it once u plug in its fine. Alot of frames has the unit encased too and its even worse at the back.
@@DopeyFPV ok, didnt know that, thank you 👍️
I have been planning on doing one of these for my new Walksnail setup (I already have one for my old FatShark Analog setup - so old it has dip switches, lol).
Lolol, do it bro! 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Bro, what if you had the cable hanging out of every frame then just attach it on the o3 side?
Its harder to attach the connector to the o3 side actually. Alternatively u can have an adapter and just attach it to both sides.
Very nice!
Thx bud!
Great idea man , for everything but hard-core freestyle. I might would want a more protected antenna mounting solution.
Yea man great on cruisers n whoops. For freestyle, better not. 😂😂
Yahooooooooooo. I'm a broke ass pilot as well.. lol thx dopy.. weeeeeeeeee
Mikey
Hahaha as soon as we took up fpv, we all broke bro!
Is the connector for the vista and o3 module really the same? I had to repin my o3 unit when it came :/
Yup its the same. Didnt have to change anything for me. Did u use a diff fc?
cool option for sure.
Yea man. Its something u might not run, but good to know theres such an option 🤙🏾

Not real vertical. Best is record in 4:3 and crop it after in 9:16

It cannot be used with cinewhoops; it is only suitable for mostly freestyle 5-inch quads or 7-inch.

First crash and not only the cam is broken the 03 unit is too
Yea guess its good for cruisers n whoops. Freestyling with this is risky.
Worried about increased frame resonance, and also crashes. This method does make things simple though.
Yea crashes will be an issue so i guess its better for cruisers or cinewhoops. As for resonance, its not that bad. But if you’re worried abt it maybe you can remix the backpack to be a frame-specific mount. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
