Betafpv Pavo20 Build and Review - Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2024
- The bigger, yet tiny Pavo is here. The package just arrived and I couldn't wait to build the Pavo20 even I had to use my old 1103 motors at the moment while waiting for the official ones. It shares a lot of similarity with the Pico but they are also very different at the same time. The new flight controller F4 2-3s 20A AIO was released with the Pavo20 and it offers some welcomed improvement, on top of the ability to run 3s. Betafpv also introduced a lightweight LED (bumper) strip to add more flavors to the Pavo series. I am quite surprise that it gets so bright on 5v.
Video shoot, cinerace, or simply showoff, is the Pavo20 better than its little bro Pico? Let's find out together!

No talking and really in depth video. Well done
Thank you for watching and your comment!
Thinking of buying this too. Thanks for the guide.
Thanks for watching, and please share your experience here! Happy holiday
Nice man, defo thinking of this one next 👍
Thanks for watching!
Very professional skills.
Thank you for watching and support!
Thanks for the video. It helps a lot. If i may ask, is it possible to install analog camera to these aio ?
Thanks for watching! The latest FCs including the one that come with the Pavo20 does not have an OSD chip for analog. You may need to get something older like this instead. betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-1s-12a-flight-controller
Thanks bro
Thank you for watching and your comment!
Thanks for your video, I already built my own Pavo20 but I have had overheating problems and when I raise it in angle mode it moves to the sides and I already calibrated its position in betaflight and also adjusted the sticks on my radiomaster pocket. Maybe you can help me with That and the overheating thing. thank you bro
Thanks for watching! About the drifting when airborne, you meant it would move to any directions on its own without any input, even in angle mode, correct? If it drifts slowly and it doesn't only drift to a particular direction, that means your quad is actually calibrated correctly. Unlike regular drones, FPV quads require constant and small corrections all the time. Try to practice in simulator and train your muscle memory.
About the overheating issue, could you share some pictures of your build? You could find my on IG @flying.pudding or FB (flying pudding)

Part 2 는 언제나오나요? 기다리는 중
시청 해주셔서 감사합니다! 현재 진행 중이며 며칠 내로 완료될 예정이니 계속 지켜봐 주시기 바랍니다.
I bought the same setup, saw your video on the led not working, I tried the led strip on the led pad like your first try, I also cant get it to work, do you know the reason why it's not working even after setting all the PINIO? i soldering exactly the way instructed on the website, and does the exact same coding, using the PIN B06 since its the led stripe pin.
Hi thanks for watching! You need to enable PINIO on an UART and not the LED pad. Please solder to an available UART port (TX1 in my case), then read and follow the instruction carefully.
betafpv.com/products/pavo-series-cob-led-strip?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=c85f7fb66&pr_rec_pid=6902379479174&pr_ref_pid=6902486204550&pr_seq=uniform
its soldered onto the T1 pad so try typing
resource SERIAL_T1 NONE
resource PINIO 1 A09
set pinio_box = 40,41,42,43
save
it should work.
nice video. about the led strip, is it possible to set radio switch to turn the led on or off?
Thank you for watching! It is indeed controlled via an UART port that can be triggered using a switch. Detail of the setup is here: bit.ly/47KQvL5
its soldered onto the T1 pad so try typing
resource SERIAL_T1 NONE

Can the vtx antenna replaced with rushcherry 2 antenna? Can the vtx mounting secure it
DJI O3 Air Unit Antenna is 5.8GHz/2.4GHz Dual Band UFL Antenna - LHCP. I am not too sure if Rush Cherry 2 is dual band though, I suppose it doesn't matter as long as you don't use the 2.4ghz band (e.g. Dji Remote Controller 2) and you get the LHCP model.
good video, but why didn't you use the capacitor that comes with the FC?
Thanks for watching! I don't fly hard enough to justify that haha. In fact, none my Pavos including the latest "Toothpico" have the cap. However, you may want to put it on if you fly much harder though. Happy flying!
🎉🎉🎉❤
Thanks for watching!
My stock CLI had some settings turned on under the LED tab in betaflight. Its my understanding that the color of the LED stsrip is not controlled by betaflight. Wondering why the stock cli had these settings. Anybody else?
That is a good question. You are right about the color because the LED strip is single color and cannot be change, and it is not supposed to be hooked up to the LED pad but to an UART (TX) on the FC . Hence, the LED setting in Betaflight is irrelvant.
@@flyingpudding Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Im returning after a few years break and there are lots of new things in BF.
@@BentRim Welcome back! Yeah things evolve pretty quickly in the FPV world.

@@BlackMan-kp4un Thank you. Was able to find all the instructions and understand how to make it work now.
Thanks for the video. Can you install GPS? Where would you solder it?
Assuming you are using the F4 2-3s 20A FC, please refer to the diagram on this page for GPS connection: betafpv.com/collections/brushless-flight-controller/products/f4-2-3s-20a-aio-fc-v1

@@flyingpudding thanks man. really appreciate it. The Pavo20 is so much fun 😎
@@larsheller5049 You are welcome, happy building and flying!
When I wire it up to t1 do I need to do anything in cli. Or will the led strip turn right on?
I used the instruction on the product page here: betafpv.com/products/pavo-series-cob-led-strip
It is supposedly triggered by a switch (channel) so that the LED would lit when you flip the switch. Alternately, you may use an unused channel and set the range to enable the LED as-is, and it will stay lit as long as the lipo is connected. Hope that helped and happy building!
Ok, when you wired it to t1 did you use pinio a08? Like the instructions?
@@user-bn8ri1ty9d Yes, that is correct.

What brand of your motor 1103 11000kv? I cant found 1103 2s with 4 hole mount exept TMotor
It was made by a brand called "HBFPV" and looks like they aren't around anymore. Use these ones instead: betafpv.com/collections/brushless-motors/products/1103-brushless-motors
1103 8500kv

Greetings! The drone can be used without the O3 unit
Thanks for watching! Were u asking if the Pavo20 can be used without the O3? Yes, you may use other vtx such as Vista or Walksnail or even HDZero.
thanks, nice video, but elco not used?
Thanks for watching and your support!
On the other hand, what is "elco"?
@@flyingpudding capasitor
@@muhammadsaid8548 Weight and space saving 😉
It is still better to install thr cap for very aggressive flying, yet I didn't need it (for my type of cinematic moves) even with 3s in the 2nd episode th-cam.com/video/qrzy5M4dI4I/w-d-xo.html
Hi, very nice video, congratulations! I wanted to ask you a question, is there a possibility to install the walksnail hd pro vtx?
Thanks for watching! The Pavo20 frame kit comes with a 20x20mm mounting plate/adapter and you should be able to mount the walksnail HD pro vtx.
you didn't solderd capacitor ?
I don't need one for the type of flying in the video - cinematic and light acro. On the other hand, a capacitor is recommended for racing and hard free style. Thanks for watching and your comment!
역시 피코보다 튼튼하고 좋은거 같아요 진동도 훨씬 잘잡는거 같네요~
시청 해주셔서 감사합니다! 프레임이 Pico보다 훨씬 강하다는 데 동의합니다. 새 모터가 도착하면 화창한 날 3s로 다시 테스트하겠습니다. 계속 지켜봐주세요!
3S 550mAh or 650mAh 3S?
If you are limited to the 2 options, 3s 550 would be better.
