- Many of you are probably currently flying analog... and you may or may not be thinking about trying digital FPV in the future. In this video, I want to share with you guys what I learned when converting my first drone from analog to digital and hopefully it gives you a better idea of how you can do it too!

Exelent explanation, easy and clear to understand.👏👏👏
hi matt really need some help i have dji goggles v2 and controller 2 im looking to fly other drones and need some advice on compatability will any drone with dji air unit be ok love the videos
I wish you were doing these videos when I was first starting. Clear, concise and great editing. Awesome job!
Thanks man!
Thank you for explaining so well and not assuming we know what Rx and Tx mean! I have been flying for 2 years and you’re telling me things I have been doing without knowing why or what they mean!
Congrats on 10k Matt! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been recently getting started on my FPV journey and you're by far the most genuine and authentic FPV youtuber out there, thank you!
Great step-by-step-content for beginners! Very high quality Video editing! I definitely like Your content. Keep it up and this channel will grow.....👍
Thanks!
You need to slow down in upgrading, i dont have the money for the dji goggles yet mate :D
Thanks for the nice video again, your content is just on point!! road to 100k :)
You need to stop sharing your opinion where it’s not needed
@@upthecartel8725 what are you Talking ?
Hi
Hi
Finally, new video! :)
So close to 10k! I love you boii
10k very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you need is a lot more money 💰💰💰
Remember your OG fans when you go big mate.
SO CLOSE TO TEN THOUSAND! 9.99K according to TH-cam
Great vid! If only I was able to use DJI FPV system legally in Japan.
aaah fark da pooolice.. Sorry to hear dude, its llegal here in Australia too but thankfully no-one harasses you about it. The local park where ALL the r.c flyers go has a sign "no r.c controlled vehicles allowed" but if you fly round here, thats where you go. Hope you can get in the air soon, im just starting out too and i cant recommend it enough, when the goggles go on, life stops and its just you and the air up there.
Perfect clear explanation, thanks!
What would you recommend for a first drone
That would depend on personal preference and budget!
My first drone was the emax tinyhawk 2 and I was very happy with it.
first I would try a simulator like Velocdrone ot Liftoff. Then I would get or Tinyhawk or Mobula6, and just fly at home...
Just bought a used protek 35 with no caddx vista or tbs . Just spent an hr trying to figure it out before finally downloading the diagram. Just so happens this video popped up as well 😁😎
The reason I won't go to digital FPV is because I cannot find a video receiver that I can hook a monitor up to. I don't like using goggles and prefer monitors because I am farsighted.
For the beginners that want to learn how to solder, find an old non working electronic device and where you see the power cord soldered to it, just practice soldering by connecting and disconnecting the solder joints with a soldering iron.. Great way and a low cost ( soldering iron) to learning how to solder. 🖐️🤠 Great video Matt, subbed your channel!
These videos are great. I got into fpv right when you did. Intermediate/ advanced tutorials are perfect! Thank you
Matt, one thing yo may want to mention is "as the user is taking apart the drone, each step along the way take a good high res photo of the connections and components" just in case you need to re-do something.
Great video, you have made what started out as complex very simple. One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen, hands down.
Thanks Matt, very clear video, I have been on the fence after getting Fatsharks with a Rapidfire Module and still wasn't good enough...LOL, I think this helped me make the decision to start my Digital journey,,,not saying goodbye to analog completely ,,,just start with one for now...keep up the great work friend.
HIII, going to buy the Nazgul5 V2 6S drone and a TX16S reciever, wondering which type of reciever that works best with TX16S that I should choose on the drone and why? :)) any help is appreciated
In the early stages of learning about fpv your videos have been reeally helpful. Thanks. Subbing (pre 25K)..
Great explanation and video !!!! The easiest part is to click the pairing button :D I will try your instructions when I move to the DJI system. Thanks for the video, you have my suscription and like
Hi Matt anyway of knowing how to get the telementary working on the OSD ? Did you did. Got VIDEO, but the Telementary not working. Turn on the UARTS , and does not show up ? Any solutions ?
I have the exact same drone as you have in this video and I am doing the exact same thing converting to digital
Very good tutorial! I'd suggest you invest in a "smoke stopper" : eg, www.racedayquads.com/products/vifly-shortsaver-smoke-stopper-xt30-xt60?_pos=3&_sid=2e2944bef&_ss=r
Also be aware that some FC's have a "9volt" pad. Sometimes these will work, but some don't have a high enough output capacity and will cause "brown outs" in the video feed.
Can you please do a video on the compatibility of the dji controllers and goggles, for example I bought an analog drone which comes with a caddx Ratel 2.1mm Camera so is that going to bind with my dji controller and goggles or would I need a caddx Vista? Can't find a video on this
Great channel for us beginners .. i have the nazgul 5 & trying to convert to digital. Still struggling...wish I got the nazgul HD but oh well 🤦
you are not the best , but you Explain everything as Perfect as you can , that's why you are more than Best ;) GL Dude
Hi - good video :-) thanks for that !. Can Vista be used with any DJI remote? or should it be an FPV remote?
I'd like to do the opposite. I want to turn my DJI Mini 2 (not a racing drone) into analog. Anybody have any tips? I know nothing about tech or taking things apart.
I have the Nazgul HD and Shendrone squirt, about to hook 2 up. Saved the video just to be sure! Awesome vid!
Good deal. im on the list for v2 goggles , if they even exist , lol . got a vista coming that i'll probably throw in my taycan. hope it fits in the 2.5inch version but i'll make it work. it'll be a lot lighter than analog cam + gopro, might stay under 250g with small battery.
im using the same esc stack mamba mk3 and caddex vista dji, but my osd didnt appear in the goggles anyone care to share why nothing appear ? i double check my betaflight config. all ok include the osd battry usage, craft name but it didnt appear in the screen.
Great detailed video instructions.....even though you converted analog drone to digital goggles, does that mean you would not be able to use an analog rc such as the tx16s
Cool video! But please don't go clickbait (It isn't but it's not far from being clickbait)
Oh wait so I can’t buy the analog Nazgul v2 and just swap to a caddy vista directly..
A cheap investment that you don't mention is a smoke stopper definitely check your continuity via a multimeter but before you plug your battery in attach a smoke stopper then the battery and power up. If there is an issue the smoke stopper will cut the power before it does damage to the esc / flight controller
Dang was watching video and found out this was not for the DJI Tx. Was trying to figure out where those wires went.
Do you plan on using the 8 or 13 cm vista on your nazgul? Great video and awesome content as always!
Awesome video Matt. But I was hoping for some flight footage.
I LOVE your videos. thanksss
Use a smokestopper instead of/along with a multimeter
What batteries do you like using with your DJI goggles?
Awesome video... and even better, I'm doing this to the exact same drone.
I finally understand UARTs! Thank you
Does this guy give out lessons cause his videos are amazing and so helpful
Get a smoke stopper (and a multimeter)!
Best 5 USD I ever paid 😇
Get yourself a smoke stopper for checking for shorts on the drone.
Do you need a ham technician license to fly a digital fpv drone?
Love all your videos. Im your new subscriber.
what i learned.. you shouldn’t convert it to digital
+smoke stopper when plugging in after soldering
There is now an option on the Vista for a kit with longer wires.
I love the seek discomfort merch xD have the same one
Can i also use this with kiss fc v1. Please someone answer me
Will this unit work with the DGI V2 goggles?
If its any thing like digital TV i'll stay with analog
You look like DoItWithDans brother.
well explained bruh. subbed and liked. :)
Superb video - thank you!
Wrenching an SMA connector, not a great idea!
Very nice explanation Matt. Converted my 1st drone the summer. Prefer the DJI system as the on board video is better quality (frame size) than the goggle video.
What frame did you mount the dgi on?
Es compatible con Natzgul 5 v2? Is compatible whit Natzgul 5 V2?
Yes definitely
wowwww don"t stop it is so easy when you explain
Very good explanations 🥹
Love your videos i have never flown fpv before and i am jist about to start buying equipment my question is i want to buy the radiomaster tx16s
Does it work with the dji goggles r do i have to get the dji controller??? I cant fly sims till i get the controller and i dont wanna buy the tx16s unless it works with dji goggles
If anyone can help 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ps i liked and subscribed lol
all I wish is to fly 20min in one go.
Great video definitely I'll re-watch it when I'll be upgrading my Protek 35 to digital :) Small comment at 8:44 - the 7.4-26.4 is voltage not "power" ;) Unit of power is Watt. Weird that they labelled that in their instruction.
Good video.
For the people that have a nazgul 5 and would like to fit a vista without buying the new frame, it’s possible.
Steps:
1) Remove your vtx, antenna and camera.
2) Turn your esc + flight controller 180 degrees, so the battery leads and capacitor face forward. Watch Joshua Bardwell’s video to configure this correctly in betaflight.
3) Remove the receiver.
4) Mount the vista vertically on the back using double sided tape and zip ties.
5) Fit your receiver on top of your flight controller with zip ties to the top plate
6) Zip tie your battery cables to a standoff on the side to keep it away from the props.
7) The antenna fits perfectly ;)
I’ve been flying like this for some time without any problems :)
Me sirvió mucho tu video amigo
Seriously underrated Channel. Thankyou for teaching me so much about FPV
excellent video. well made, all the information, you didn't assume any level of pre-existing knowledge, yet it was concise and informative. thank you very much. keep up the good work.
Like button smashed. Man you're way too modest. I just bought a vista unit and that was hands down the best step by step guide I've seen. I've replaced components like receivers and vtx's so I already know how but I'm always looking to learn more or a better way. This should really be helpful to newcomers. I found it exceedingly so. I don't think you missed anything. Anyway just sayin give yerself some cred bro. This is valuable info. Thanks
Hi Matt, thankw for the video. Very good explanation. I am too going to convert to DJI very soon. The only 2 things I guess missing from the video is attaching antenna to Vista unit (because I heard/saw it's tricky) and adding capacitor to vista some where... Altho I know it's not essential but highly recommended.
This video is amazing!!!
Hey Matt, if you are ever strapped for certain electronics or hardware check out RScomponents or Mouser, amazing range of stuff and also normally pretty good delivery :)
As an intermediate pilot, this is very clear... and the whiteboard/marker illustrations are what I'd expect from only from a professional marketing video... very effective. The only thing I have to offer is that if you find your camera-to-Vista cable is too short; there are after-market solutions that are longer, so you can adapt the Vista to larger frames in the best layout and weight distribution. Also, use a small desktop fan when working on the flight controller to dissipate the solder fumes, and likewise, with the Vista powered-on to add airflow and keep it cool.
Great job on this video
the lighting in your videos are impeccable! Can I ask how you light your setup?
Greetings from Tennessee. I always look forward to your videos. You are very articulate and everything is explained very well
Another awesome video! You could twist the wires, make it cleaner and most important the GND works like isolation. Do you share your flights?
Serious question. Did you have any video/editing experience before this channel? Your style is so aesthetic and everything on point. Keep up the good work
Thanks Matt that is the best and clearest explanation of how to connect the vista ... I will also have to mount without screws was the sticky pad enough?
Cheers Phil 😊👍
I suggest you try KISS FC
Did the same conversion with an Air unit, should’ve sticked with a vista and saved weight, Nice Hakko! It’s the real deal
Not rising fast enough you deserve wayyy more subs man you made me get into fpv ive always loved rc things but never heard of fpv until recently so I jumped in head first now just waiting on deliveries its killing me, need to get my radio and that should be be ready
was looking for this video for a long time, just got an Analog cinewoop and was wondering to to go about transferring to digital, awesome explanation and
direct, keep the awesome videos coming!
Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me to understand what´s going on inside my fpv drone. You are a fantastic teacher!!!
i just started in June so that time next year ill probably upgrade to HD
Well Done, just about to wire up a DJI air unit to my Cvatar...good timing.
thank you for this video!! I plan on switching to digital in a few months
edit: theres a really good soldering tutorial from Mr. Steele on his channel you should link that one in the description
So you don't have to use the dji remote? You can use like frsky or jumper?
Yup, if you connect the right receiver to it, you can use any other radio.
