go fly a kite Thankyou very much for watching , I would say anything from 16 to 22 gauge size should be just fine here's a link to put you in the right direction ... BNTECHGO 18 Gauge Silicone Wire Soft and Flexible 18 AWG Silicone Wire 150 Strands of copper wire 5 ft Black And 5 ft Red Super low electrical resistance for a highly efficient connection www.amazon.com/dp/B01708AYYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_AciLybJ3BQBMZ as for flight time I am planning on making a video discussing all of that very soon so stay tuned!
Hi, very well done! I plan to do something very similar, but I am still waiting for my bugs to arrive. Why not make fpv with the action cam? Don't you want to try that?
Áron Mácsik The only reason I wouldn't do FPV with the action camera is because the range of the wifi connectivity is not long enough for when you send your but a couple hundred feet in the air . A good idea in theory however need to have some radio frequency transmission instead of wifi
Ok. I have seen cables that connect Gopro to a radio transmitter - similar to your's I guess. That could send the video footage to the fpv google, right? This is what I plan to try myself. At this point it is only a theory and I have never done anything like this before but it should work out fine.
All right but for me this is gonna take long for sure. First I need to receive my bugs 3, then some time to practice flying. Then step two is ftp with some small camera to keep costs low and get a feeling for it. If things turn out right I step one more forward to the direction of a gopro fpv with a proper gimbal. This is the main goal of the project - aerial photography! :)
Áron Mácsik I tried going that route and before you spend your money on a gimbal I would look into the weight because although the bug is a strong drone it was very hard for it to lift it so do keep that mind however have fun with the bug goodluck!
+Lourd Sevilla with my testing I have not noticed any disruptions for the remote control. The only thing is the wifi camera connection takes a toll in your battery
I have a d link router with two 2.4ghz antennae. thinking of using one on the transmitter and the other on the quad. what do you think? just don't want to unsouder and souder everything if it will not work. thanks
I have personally never done this however an antennas are normally interchangeable. I have seen videos all on you tube about it so personally i think just out of curiosity id go for it however it is up to you.
Warrior Zoino success brother what a pain in the add it was to sauder those little wire within the wire. note to self: do not buy 10 dollar sauder kit. the tip never gets melting hot which makes 30 minutes turn into an hour. anyways it works... only problem is it goes too far now and I can't even see the quad.
Brazy Wolf THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!! I'm so glad to hear that. Wow awesome job and that's actually really funny !!!! Thanks for the update Have fun flying to the moon!! Send me some pics of the range on this thing I'd love to see it if you can of course
Thanks for the video! Alotta of good info in there, so much....that i just ordered a bugs3! Question: i saw mjx offers a 5.8g fpv cam made to fit the bugs with more of a hidden antenna. So why did you go with your "big antenna" setup over mjx version?
Dave Geer Thank you very much and I'm glad to hear that ! In my case at the time the mjx pretty much just came out and all those extra pieces weren't out yet although I would of loved to get it with that I had to make my own means because they simply weren't available. Now that they are if it works well I definitely recommend it 👍have fun with the bug
aquilino sanjur So the original camera mount would have worked perfectly however I was too quick to modify for another camera then once I got the Thieye I had to take the waterproof action case flip it upside down stick it and cable tie it to the original piece that slips on to the drone alot of work but still very functional ... Thankyou very much for your support and comment I appreciate it alot!👍
aquilino sanjur no problem and honestly I'd seriously recommend the bugs 3 in that it's brushless and actually very true to its advertising. The price is incredible for a drone you can easily soar above your town I couldn't recommend anything but this with this price point of course
Great job, showed everything really well. You kept it simple and I can't wait to see how the test went. I thought there was an fpv camera available through the company, Is there a reason you opted for a different one?
thad windrum Thankyou very much there is an option for FPV however I found that it's a work in progress as in there will be an addition you can add later on they just advertise it to gain hype...I could not find it but if you could it would be great if you could share the link and again thankyou very much for the support
Miguel Peña I would say the bug can handle the action camera perfectly the fpv system is a different story and needs a bit more research but I do think it's possible
Hi again! Where did u buy it? Coz in B...good looking at the photos the internal parts are different... (the ports I mean, there is only a 2 pin port, I guess the led port)
lirva666 I haven't actually put them to the test however I'd say same if not just slightly better possibly more power as it thrust I am planning on making a video on comparing the two batteries since this has been a frequent question
gostei muito desse vídeo, estou aguardando meu drone chegar que vou comprar esse kit e fazer essa adaptação... Entro em contato com vc para tirar duvidas e me ajudar a fazer do msm jeito... Agradeço!
Gaetano Venezia Credo che quello che stai dicendo è che il pulsante sul controller non funziona, nel qual caso dovresti contattare l'azienda per vedere se c'è qualcosa che ti possa aiutare
nice video buddy , my bugs turned up last week but I've yet to fly it as the weather in the UK sucks right now, I have the X16 Typhoon AH black motor version which I also want to fly fpv , what your opinion on the Eachine TX02 , was looking to get one , would those goggles you use work with this, subscribed, happy flying dude 🖒🖒
tony perks Thankyou very much and yes the camera would work fine up to my understanding the goggles have a 40 channel selection and your camera is on one of those channels so with just a couple pushes of a button you'll be up and ready for a flight
Just a small tip, turn up the gain on your microphone. I had to go to maximum volume to hear you. Apart from you finishing a sentence with an upward inflection and tending to taper off to a mumble, everything else was great. Good lighting, using a tripod and good editing. I liked the mod, nice and clean, but I have to wonder if the transmitter could be causing glitches from RF getting into the motherboard. You may find the RF could cause problems when your 2.5Ghz signal gets weaker, when there's greater distance between you and the quad. Just a thought. The easiest way to test this would be to have someone holding the quad maybe 250 meters away and see if there are any glitches. Just a thought. By the way, I have subscribed.
You are 100 % right Maginism TV however what happened to me was I bought the incorrect adapter that only allowed some other port to be converted to the xt30 connector so I split the connector revealing just the xt30 connector and its contacts so in an attempt to not spend any more money I just soldered the wires to it and it worked out pretty well so when it came time to get more adapters instead of making the same mistake again i just played it safe and just got the xt30 connectors. In the end you are right though and thanks for that link I might use it in the future.
@Warrior Zoino ...did you get a chance to Purchase, and try out the 2700mAh Battery from the post above that is used in Hubsan H501 ....Very interested to see what the Flight time will be on the Bugs 3 with that Battery.
You are a practical guy with real good R/C sense. Thanks for the perfect upgrade to my latest R/C best friend: The Bugs 3. All parts are on the way.
really curious of the flight time with the new 2200 MA batteries.....should be about 10 to 15% longer my guess
Tim M well I do have a video on testing the 2 batteries on my channel that explains the times differences
Nice video. What size wire did you use?, and where can you buy good flexible wire, at a good cost? and how long of flite time with the new batteries?

Áron Mácsik in that case absolutely that sounds interesting please comeback and let me know how that goes

Does turning wifi to view video from an android phone from the camera affect the remote/drone performance? Cool video and tia.
+Lourd Sevilla with my testing I have not noticed any disruptions for the remote control. The only thing is the wifi camera connection takes a toll in your battery
I have a d link router with two 2.4ghz antennae. thinking of using one on the transmitter and the other on the quad. what do you think? just don't want to unsouder and souder everything if it will not work. thanks

Warrior Zoino true that man. it's like I'm looking for confirmation lol. anyways I hope it works better then the little dipole antennae we have stock.
Brazy Wolf I agree if it works that would be totally awesome and if it does work can include a link for people to check out your video 👍
Warrior Zoino success brother what a pain in the add it was to sauder those little wire within the wire. note to self: do not buy 10 dollar sauder kit. the tip never gets melting hot which makes 30 minutes turn into an hour. anyways it works... only problem is it goes too far now and I can't even see the quad.

Hey just bought my first drone that happens to be this one. Did you do a cost analysis to see how much all that added up to?
+steve pennington that's awesome! So glad to hear and yes it came right around 300 if I remember correctly
Thanks for the video! Alotta of good info in there, so much....that i just ordered a bugs3! Question: i saw mjx offers a 5.8g fpv cam made to fit the bugs with more of a hidden antenna. So why did you go with your "big antenna" setup over mjx version?

Pro trick: watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Casey Reid Yea, have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D
Modding my MJX, not even the same way as you, still this video has been very resourceful. Thanks dude.
How about the camera mount. Did you modify the original mount. Great job BTW!!
aquilino sanjur So the original camera mount would have worked perfectly however I was too quick to modify for another camera then once I got the Thieye I had to take the waterproof action case flip it upside down stick it and cable tie it to the original piece that slips on to the drone alot of work but still very functional ... Thankyou very much for your support and comment I appreciate it alot!👍
Hey..Thanks and good luck with your channel. I am debating between this drone and the tarantula. Which one do you recommend?
aquilino sanjur no problem and honestly I'd seriously recommend the bugs 3 in that it's brushless and actually very true to its advertising. The price is incredible for a drone you can easily soar above your town I couldn't recommend anything but this with this price point of course

would there be better choices for the batteries?
Hi! How much distance can you fly the drone and still recieve image on the googles?
Miguel Peña not very far since not enough power comes to the transmitter
Just asking because I wanted to build the bugs3 with FPV + action camera, and try to record and shooting at range 100-200m, Would it be possible?
plus better battery to have a 15-20min flying time
Miguel Peña I would say the bug can handle the action camera perfectly the fpv system is a different story and needs a bit more research but I do think it's possible
Hi again! Where did u buy it? Coz in B...good looking at the photos the internal parts are different... (the ports I mean, there is only a 2 pin port, I guess the led port)
Nice mods! What was the flight time with those batteries?
lirva666 I haven't actually put them to the test however I'd say same if not just slightly better possibly more power as it thrust I am planning on making a video on comparing the two batteries since this has been a frequent question

Agradeço!
Uau isso é incrível! Eu não posso esperar para ouvir de volta de você sobre hoe tudo funciona graças tão mucb para o comentário melhores desejos!
without doing so much casino was enough a tx03 or similar, right?
Thank you for the insight much appreciated
kinda funny how gearbest action cams are like all from the same mold just different names
Brazy Wolf I know it's pretty funny 😂
non mi funziona il pulsante che fa l'ampegiare il telecomando cosa devo fare grazie
Gaetano Venezia Credo che quello che stai dicendo è che il pulsante sul controller non funziona, nel qual caso dovresti contattare l'azienda per vedere se c'è qualcosa che ti possa aiutare
Warrior Zoino grazie
got them off eBay man it's so fast an o got the three propellers
Heyy Thanks dude thats awesome nice find i always appreciate good finds on the internet nice job!!
Why my battery drained so fast every time I connect the camera?
Edmin Magtalas that's because you are drawing alot more from the batteries then normal so it will die quicker
Dal 6045 REG 6 Inch 3 Blade Multirotor Prop T6045 MR1215-Black
just a idea, why not only change the batterie plug on the quad and on the original batterie?!? just saying, it's more logical....
I am totally saving all this and doing all these mods to my bug!
Josh Mackey That is great to hear glad to help you Josh, have loads of fun!!! 👍👍👍
ya no worry's her to help man it's fast an it's 11volts man
Awesome!!!thanks man
Another great video! I used a different fpv cam and didn't even think to just use the connector end from the LED. Awesome! **Thrice.
LILTRadio Thanks I really appreciate it and yeah there are lots of ways to do fpv would love to see your setup
nice video buddy , my bugs turned up last week but I've yet to fly it as the weather in the UK sucks right now, I have the X16 Typhoon AH black motor version which I also want to fly fpv , what your opinion on the Eachine TX02 , was looking to get one , would those goggles you use work with this,

Cheers buddy, these bugs are awesome , I paid £73 for mine , that's ridiculously cheap for a very well built and very fast bird 🖒🖒🖒
tony perks I couldn't agree more 👍👍
Nice job with your mods. Very resourceful
James Oosterbaan Thankyou very much
