FPV with RushMoreMods: HARDWARE

Hello
   Like Promised this post is intended to help you grasp of what kind of HardWare/Components you need. How to make them all work in Harmony!

If you think about it on a general Perspective it should not be very hard to FPV
All we want to do is strap a camera on what ever we are flying, then stick its output cables into the Video transmitter, and DONE!!

First of if it was this easy i would not be spending my time creating this post, trying to prevent people from loosing their very expensive investment on simple inexperience, and lack of research. Frankly i am tired of hearing people loosing their machines over and over again. Its absolutely devastating, here we build something for ourselves, that is our hobby, something that makes us happy, and then bam all of the sudden it is all over.

I think the real problem are the websites that are trying to convince people that you need very minimal skills to build and tune something like this, or even worse now, they are selling the extremely cheap complete FPV kits, claiming it was professionally build with fpv gear.

I have seen many horror stories of clients bringing the machines they have purchased online,  Just because some kid found all the cheapest hardware he could find, and slapped it all together does not warrant them to say that it is professionally built.

I believe that receiving an untuned built machine is just as bad as making the customer build the machine also, because for people who are just starting in multirotors and want a turn key package, but get something that is unflyable and they loose it in the process of trying to make it flyable.

In the RC Industry you pretty much get what you pay for. That is why we never stop researching, testing products, and coming up with better more improved solutions and at the same time expanding our partnerships with other manufacturers to bring you the best quality Multirotors at an Affordable Price. We have recently partnered with Team Black Sheep which has been a very long term goal for us as they have some of the worlds most talented people developing products that make sense and guaranteed to work. So you can see the want to be using their gear right?

Why Could We not take a camera and just plug it in to the TX, and call it a day? Well we could and people do do it all the time, but i don't think they realize that the quality of the video and the range gets cut significantly. Also would you ever drive a car that has no Speedometer, or the one that has no Fuel Level Gauge? I don't think so.

RushMoreMods Does only provides machines with an OSD.
On Screen Display allows you to have vital information overlay over your video feed so you know what is happening to the Bullet you just put in the air.
We have Tested 12 Different Flight Controllers and even more OSD modules and combinations of them and as for today's date i believe we offer the best set ups, that are guaranteed to work and make sense.




For Example:
You are interested in the Mini Multirotors. FPV Racer.
means you are wanting a smaller size machine, that you would not fly very far  but instead because its small and insanely fast you can explore the immediate areas and their nucks and crannies.
Now that we know what it is that you are leaning towards we can explain that there is absolutely no need to spend the money on GPS systems, and crazy telemetry systems, due to the fact that you will never use them.
On the OSD side its also better, the faster you are going the less things should be on your screen, because every dot that takes up the screen with letters of numbers of logos is a little tree branch that you would have seen otherwise.

OK so now we know you do not need a very comlex FPV system, just want to Know your Voltage, Amperage, and how much battery you have consumed, Signal Strength and Flight time Maybe?
Sound About Right?

Unfortunately it does not Stop there:
We are up to Camera + Transmitter + OSD
you put it all together and then bam video quality is horrible, you think you need to get more powerful transmitter. WRONG!
What a lot of companies dont want you to know that it take a lot of testing and experience to have a truthfully good system. They dont tell you that your motors and ESC and other electronics are producing interference for your Video Signal, and there is a way to Filter that out, with quality ten times better then you upgrading for more power.

Now your FPV System consists from Camera , TX, OSD, Power Filter.

Then Lastly  is the number one reason people destroy their equipment on the first day.
Everyone needs to understand that this industry is exploding like no other, there is a ton of companies trying to compete for your money, so they are not spending the time to get together and make sure that every bodies products play nice with each other.

No because your camera runs on one voltage, your transmitter on another, and OSD on another, so now you have to start buying special voltage regulators and such.

Well Team Black Sheep is a company who wants to make products that work with everyone, that is why we RushMoreMods include what is Called the TBS PNP Core in all of our MiniMultirotors.
because for a small premium, and in reality it comes to to the same price as if you add it up
but the small little unit contains, Voltage Regulators, for camera TX, current sensing, OSD, power filtering.
TBS Core not only make things easier but it also makes things a lot lighter, because you dont need to have 2 million units that have their own wiring and such.
In the world of mini quads, where every gram of weight saved converts direct into significant thrust increase and time flight.

Review: FatShark Dominator v2 (Part 1 of 3)

This review will be broken down into 3 parts: Part 1 = The goggles, Features, thoughts Part 2 = DVR Quality, How to Operate Part 3 = Accessories, Reception Quality Shoot OUT( 3 different Antennas Tested) Hello everyone, i have recently had a chance to enjoy the FPV experience with many different sets of goggles including the FatShark Dominator v2, FatShark Attitude SD, Skyzone Diversity goggles and even the Quanum monitor/goggles DIY set up. In this post i will focus more on the newly updated Dominators, some people call them version 2.2, because the company had made some major changes in the positive direction for these goggles. As stated above i have tried many different solutions for flying FPV. Let me just say get this out of the way, if you are flying via monitor and not goggles you are doing yourself an injustice because your experience is not at all what it should be. There is no other feeling like feeling that you are sitting inside of your little 250 frame zoomin

Review: FatShark Dominator v2 (Part 2 of 3)

This Portion of the Review will showcase the Quality of the build in DVR Function that outputs to a Micro SD card. I do not think we ever get tired of stressing this to our friends and clients, that to us this feature is of great importance other then its just something else that it can do. This is why we are talking about this prior to showing all hardware option and other things. Having a DVR on the ground side is Extremely Valuable. Very simple scenatio is you were driving home and saw this beautiful place and decided to stop by and explore it with your RMM250 mini quad.  Unfortunatly u chose to disregard our advice on on having a ground based recorded because why waste money on it because it records it in nothing that you would be proud of posting on youtube!. Probobly thought that we were stupid since you already have a mobius recording in HD. Well you start flying then about 250 feet away hit a treebrand and spiral straight down. Then you figure out that ther

How To: Action Camera SJ4000: Review and Lens Replacement

Hello so from the previous post you might have noticed that i fancy the SJ4000 camera. From all the research that i had done online it seems like there are people who decided to give this camera a try in search of a Cheaper GoPro Alternative and those people all seems to be extremely happy with their pick. Then there are the people who believe that there is a reason the GoPro is double the money for their least expensive model, and that the SJ4000 is most likely half of the camera, and have never seen the SJ4000 in person. To tell you the truth i was one of those people who thought that there is no way that this camera can be on par with the GoPro and was not really going to consider it for my Airial Video device. Well as i learned the hard way in the RC world its best to buy things that people have used and have positive view on. so my camera budget got sliced in half due to the fact that i needed a new set of motors for my build. Then the SJ4000 became a very appealing unit
