I watched it all. I LEARNED a lot. Thank you! Those DJI kits are a bit expensive for my budget. Can anyone suggest an alternative? I've got about $400 bucks. I don't mind building it so long as everything is in the kit that will eliminate guesswork.
The only drone building channel that shares real information. N yet has very little thumbs up... mind blowing. 👍👍 well done with clearly explaining and showing everything. Wish you still did these.
Finalllly! Someone does a clear and easy to follow build! The rotor riot one was wayy to hard to follow with all the shaky camera angles and frankly poor editing. This so much easier to watch! Nice one Nurk!
Paul I think a lot of viewers need to see a Hybrid build. So many of us have a Taranis 9xd and Crossfire. I have my Squirt V2 setup with Crossfire and DJI Air and it is absolutely outstanding! Thanks to you, this is my #1 passion! With that said, I'm not worthy of a decent tut on the setup. You asked...., so for all of us trying to get it right. A much needed vid from the Master would help so many. I can up load pics of wiring to FC on my Squirt if anyone needs, This is an Awesome Hobby! It Can be frustrating at times when thing don't go right. We need people that We trust to guide us thru. Paul YOU are the CineWoop Man! I trust no other! Guide us O master!
Don't be deterred if you've never soldered before! I learned on TH-cam in about a week I went from never having done it to making a custom LED shelf. It won't be pretty at first. Don't go dirt cheap on your iron get something with temp controls and make sure to use flux! It's so rewarding taking on a project you've never done and turning around to make something yourself!
What an amazing video. Wish I could give you multiple likes for this. I didn't even want to think about building a drone but this video has changed my mind! Thanks again Nurk 👍🏽
I'm buying one of these tommorow and was dreading the build but man.....you explained everything in detail I appreciate your time bro you really helped me out. 👊🏿
This was perfect timing! I literally just lost my first build (Donut Cinewhoop) in a lake yesterday and was debating on building a squirt or just buy a bnf like the Taycan for my next cinewhoop. But now it’s clear, the squirt for the win. Thanks NURK, you were also the one who originally got me into Cinewhoops!!
Love that your a corridor crew fan. Also love your work, great tutorial. I’ve got my first drone a few months ago, mini 2 but I’m really wanting to get into FPV and your vids are an awesome way to start.
Do you need to wire a capacitor with the power connector? I’m building my first one this coming week and I see some people do and some people don’t? How do you know whether or not it’s needed? Thanks!
You don't NEED a capacitor, but it can be helpful to decrease image noise. For this build, I personally used a Panasonic FM Series 35V 470uf capacitor. You can get them on amazon for pretty cheap. Since the ESC's on this stack are integrated, you can simply solder the cap to the area where the batt wires kiss the board. I hope this helps! 😊
Thanks for an awesome tutorial! In 2022 now, would you recommend something different as an indoor cinewhoop carrying a protected (non-naked) gopro? I was considering a Pavo 25 or Cinelog 25 with beefed up FC/motors... just wondering your '2022-2023' opinion? Thanks!
I would love to see an in depth how to tune a poorly flying squirt tutorial. I built mine on 6s . I’ve made progress but I’d love to hear your tips on those buttery cine pids haha
I'm such a noob. I built this quad (it's my first build) and have been working through a laundry list of problems. Today I figured out, I put the ESC/PDB on upside down, so my motors are on the opposite side of the quad! At least I get to practice more soldering :)
Hi Paul, Thank you for this build video! I already have an Infinity FC/ESC 305 and Air Unit I purchased last year for a build that never happened. I purchased the Squirt and Brother Hobby 1507/3100 KV from Rotor Riot. Do you see any problem with the stack or motors for the Squirt? I believe the motors are the same RR uses in their Squirt build but not sure. Thank you!!!
Hey Nurk FPV 2 questions: 1. Why do you choose to run props out as apposed to in ? 2. If I wanted to build this setup for analog I would just need to pick a different Receiver, Camera, and FC right ? ... since this is for dj HD setup only. Still fairly new and learning so any info would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks
@@NURKFPV You should link this in the description, looks like there are a couple components that point to the same thing. Nice videos keep up the great work!
Hi Nurk! This video is great. I’m having trouble getting the squirt to respond to the throttle. Not sure what I missed. Could it be one of the settings in beta flight. What are some trouble shoot options besides tearing it down and starting over?
Hi Paul, I'm currently using your video to build my own squirt, it's great! Just one question, I want to use a CRSF Nano RX, do you have a tutorial about the wiring for that part?
The description does not mention props. Do we need to buy it separately? I saw on the ShenDrone's Squirt 2.1 page where it says the props is "HQ 4x4.3x3 props cut down to 3". What prop is that? and do we need to cut it? is there any prop does not need cutting?
Hey nurk, thanks for the vid. Can you comment on running a 6s for this build? since the components are all rated up to 6s I imagine it would be fine, but I am also a newb.
Have you done any naked gopro whoops? The Dison Mini is all the rage at the moment, I'm doing one with a geprc cinepro frame 248 grams in the air, taking it for a proper test flight Sunday!
I've been meaning to ask, how much is it affected by wind? I've been flying a GEPRC Rocket Plus recently and while it's much smaller than this, and therefore lighter, the wind just throws me around. Hypersmooth/reelsteady aside, I've been wondering how your footage even outside seems so rock steady.
It's pretty badly effected by the wind, yes. Sometimes I have to choose other drones when the wind is strong. I usually use this for indoors or really low, slow close proximity stuff.
Hey Nurk! thanks so much for this amazing video, im just starting with this hobby and this my first build. Im missing a couple of things still, the battery you recommend in the video is out of stock, any other recommendations? also what should I use for charger and the last thing props! I didn't find a link for this. Hopefully you can help me with this. THANK YOU again for all the content , im learning a LOT with your videos!
Interesting build. First, do you sell the kit completed? Second, does a written construction manual come with the kit? Third, what is the cost of the kit? I would guess the programming app comes online? Are larger complete kits sold? Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Really cool that you took the time to do this. I am only just dipping my toe into FPV, so I think this not a started Quad for me. What don you suggest would be a good starter?
Hey, total newb question... Do you have to use the DJI system with this FC? A lot of FC advertise how easy they work with DJI, but have no mention of Runcam, etc.
Usually yes they work just fine with analog setups. What this usually means (easy connection to DJI) is that they have an extra voltage regulator to power the air unit since it can only handle 4S and a lot of us fly 6S. There are a few boards that leave out the OSD to save money or space, since the DJI system has its own OSD, but those usually clearly say they don’t have an OSD. I can only think of one or two iFlight boards that are this way (like the Succex-A 40A AIO).
thank you so much for putting this guide together. so helpful to have an end to end guide to follow. can you make a similar video on how to build an extreme budget drone (and include extreme budget goggle/transmitter recommendations) for people just starting out with FPV who don't have a lot of cash to invest?
Hello friend, all right, I want to buy a Happymodel Larva X drone and it has these three versions, Frsky D8 BNF , FLYSKY BNF , DS M2X BNF , can you tell me if possible the difference between them and if the Betafpv Literary 2 SE control works in this drone, thank you.
Howmany pack's in a row can the squirt ( V2) handle? 850 mah pack 4S- Brother Hobby 1407 3600kv with iFlight SucceX-E Mini 35A stack. I understand as long the motors or stack is not emitting to much heat i can keep going. But at what point I'm overflying and should give the machine a break?
The esc thinks, that my right motors are the ones in the back... How can I fix this??! So I run the esc and fc sideways like you and every time I give some throttle, the esc gives the wrong motors the throttle. For example, I roll to the right and the drone gives the motors in the back power.
Hi mate i've been watching lot of your videos, and i got a few questions, i would like to get into cinewhoops, thing is i would like to build one with DJI hd system camera, my question is can i fly it with a tarantis qx7 or other off market crontrollers? or it must be with a DJI controller ? another question for now i dont feel like invest that much on goggles, is it possible to see this dji system with a monitor ? or somehow into my phone? thanks bro **
Hey, i'll jump in with some answers: you can use a different controller, like the Taranis, but you then need to put additional receiver on the drone - in your case frsky xm+ for instance. The DJI airunit on the other hand does have both the video transmitter and a receiver built in. And no, you can't have the DJI's HD video on anything but their goggles. I asked Joshua Bardwell this question recently, cause i wanted their feed on ORQA's. Unfortunately they do not plan on commercially providing an HDMI (or any other) receiver for their video feed, although they supposedly have such a dongle. I wouldn't ever recommend flying anything on a screen or a phone btw - that's good to show it to bystanders, not for the pilot.
Good evening, thanks for such a good tutorial. Regarding DJI Receiver Directional Antennas: TrueRC Patch for DJI. On the page it appears that you can choose between Polarization (LHCP or RHCP). when buying two, it must be one of each or both the same. Sorry for my english, im new in drone world. thanks in advance!
My understanding, very likely incorrect, is that there is a receiver for the flight control and a transmitter for the video system. I think you have the same link to the receiver and the video xmitter. Cheers, and thanks for consuming my Sunday and Monday. lol
I watched it all. I LEARNED a lot. Thank you! Those DJI kits are a bit expensive for my budget. Can anyone suggest an alternative? I've got about $400 bucks. I don't mind building it so long as everything is in the kit that will eliminate guesswork.
Anyone have any answers to this?
Babyhawk 2 seems good, but goggles will always set you back.
If you want the HD dji system you have to get a air unit or vista.
If you want to run analog this is the wrong video for you.
Main thing that's gonna rack up the bill quick is the goggles.
Analog

Howmany pack's in a row can the squirt ( V2) handle? 850 mah pack 4S- Brother Hobby 1407 3600kv with iFlight SucceX-E Mini 35A stack.
I understand as long the motors or stack is not emitting to much heat i can keep going. But at what point I'm overflying and should give the machine a break?
You said you like to run your props running out instead of in. What is the difference and why do you choose that direction? Thanks.

So I run the esc and fc sideways like you and every time I give some throttle, the esc gives the wrong motors the throttle. For example, I roll to the right and the drone gives the motors in the back power.
you have to remap the motors in blheli32, its beacuse the esc is sideways and therefore resulting in the motor outputs being different

another question for now i dont feel like invest that much on goggles, is it possible to see this dji system with a monitor ? or somehow into my phone? thanks bro **
Hey, i'll jump in with some answers: you can use a different controller, like the Taranis, but you then need to put additional receiver on the drone - in your case frsky xm+ for instance. The DJI airunit on the other hand does have both the video transmitter and a receiver built in. And no, you can't have the DJI's HD video on anything but their goggles. I asked Joshua Bardwell this question recently, cause i wanted their feed on ORQA's. Unfortunately they do not plan on commercially providing an HDMI (or any other) receiver for their video feed, although they supposedly have such a dongle. I wouldn't ever recommend flying anything on a screen or a phone btw - that's good to show it to bystanders, not for the pilot.
I was wondering if you knew where I could get the 3d print file for the mount you are using for the air unit camera. Thanks
