Building a CineLifter | Shendrones Thicc Build Log Pt.1

[@ChrisParayno]

So clean!!

[@IgnitionFPV]

Thanks!

[@Chacha_Jaime]

Thank you so much for posting this! Really helpful as I’ve been researching how to build a cinelifter ❤

[@ATF2099]

nice work brother!

[@IgnitionFPV]

Thanks brother!

[@BenToogood]

How did you connect the 2 ESCs together and then into the FC?

[@IgnitionFPV]

The 2 esc goes into the FC directly. You need an fc which has 8 motor inputs

[@AdamJRFPVenture12]

Awesome video buddy !

[@IgnitionFPV]

Thanks man! Can't wait to fly it with a real camera 🔥

[@recfocus]

Awesome video and excellent work on building out the drone - we'll be building our drone this month....I'm nervous as hell lol :)

[@IgnitionFPV]

Thanks man! Yes definitely triple check every solder joint and wiring!

[@recfocus]

@@IgnitionFPV Will do, just might hit you up if I ran into any issues ^____^

[@southerndig]

Hey thanks for the video. I'm having extreme hot motors. I used the UAV cinelifter preset in BF any suggestions? 2807.5 x 1322kv motors and using HQ 7x4x3.

[@maikofpv]

Hello my friend. Thanks for this video. It helps me. Im building a Siccario with similar configuration. 2 hobbywing 60 esc. Brain FC and 8 Xnova 2812 (1100kv). You recommend yo leave the stock caps that came with the escs and add 2 of 1000uf (panasonic)??? Im planning to use only one XT90 with bigger battery. And connect one esc to the other with 10AWG cable. Then frome the back esc take out the power cable with the xt90. What do you think? I see that you have experience with this. Thanks a lot !!!!!

[@NikitaGarets]

Noob question: you soldered battery wires together in parallel, is it not good idea to use each batteries separately? 1 battery for 1 ESC?

[@IgnitionFPV]

No, you want both esc to be getting the exact same voltage.

[@andrewbaker2914]

Can you explain the capacitor setup you have and why you have it? I am waiting for all my parts to come in this week! So Excited!

[@IgnitionFPV]

Hey man, I am running 2x 1000uf and 4x 350uf on a Rush PFB connected by wires. Honestly from what I had learnt so far, I wouldn't recommend this capacitor setup and would just suggest you put as much caps as you can physically fit, as close to the ESC as possible. If you are using the stock Hobbywing 60A ESC you can try leaving those there, else try fitting 4x 1000uf as close as possible to the ESC pads. Sorry for the late reply, was super busy with work in the past few months, I hope your build went well!

[@santiagoperez6769]

Wowwwww...... this is so fire my friend!!!! Thank you for guiding us like this! Quick question, for my thicc... would I be able to hook up my two esc (same esc as you) to only one 6S battery (Xilo 22.2v, 750C, 2250mah)? And how could I tell? I am new to electronic/drones so any help would be greatly appreciated!

[@IgnitionFPV]

Thanks friend! I don't think a single 2250mah 75c battery would be able to last long, probably for testing you can try but I wouldn't fly with that setup. At least a 4200-6200mah would be ideal. Most people use 5200mah if not mistaken. Honestly if you are new to electronics/drones I would not recommend you to build something like this, and should try getting more experience building 5" drones first before building one of these. Apologies for the late reply, was super busy with work over the past few months. Had you built it yet?

[@Janevjura]

​@@IgnitionFPV hi! 6s 5200 will work for similar build? What would be the flight time if i need to fly slow ? thanks!

[@littledeejay]

What battery size you used? And what is the flight time do you get with that battery.

[@IgnitionFPV]

Initially I'm using 3x 6s 1300mah 100c lipo. I had ordered some 6200mah 90c packs and yet to arrive. With 3x 1300mah it lasts for around 4-5 minute

[@alexanderulrichschick4622]

Have you connected both becs to the FC?

[@IgnitionFPV]

BECs or ESC? BEC for the Air Unit and cine cam is hooked to the main power supply leads. ESCs are wired to the FC by the plugs

[@Diown]

@@IgnitionFPV so this fc has 2 plugs for connecting 2 ESC’s? For flight controllers with only 1 plug I can just solder 2 ESC cables in parallel right?

[@IgnitionFPV]

@@Diown no you cannot just solder to 2 esc in parallel. You need an fc that supports 8 individual motor outputs.

[@Diown]

@@IgnitionFPV yeah I see and where do you leave the 2 current and telemetry cables?

[@IgnitionFPV]

@@Diown HW60A does not have telemetry output, so it is not connected. You only can connect 1 current wire to the FC, so just double it in the betaflight configuration to estimate the current draw of all motors

[@LZRFPV]

Yes. Thanks for the video dude! Ive been thinking of building one soon! What was your capacitor set up?

[@IgnitionFPV]

Welcome bro! Actually I need to make a follow up video soon as I had changed certain things about the build already. After building it I had added another 2 extra 1000uf 35v caps for even more capacitance and had changed the FC to the Matek F722HD

[@LZRFPV]

@@IgnitionFPV interesting. Why did you change the FC? My biggest fear with this build is the tuning

[@IgnitionFPV]

@@LZRFPV I had 2 crashes due to unknown cause. The blackbox shows the gyro data suddenly becoming garbage on a front flip, weirdest thing is I put that Radix on my 5" quad and there was no issues at all. So just decided to change it to a Matek F722HD and add more capacitance for that extra insurance. Honestly no idea why the Radix did not work on my build but so far with the Matek it had been pretty good. I'd suggest purchasing the Matek as it is easier to get blackbox log out of it and most of the tunes online are based off the Matek board. The Radix board requires a different filter strategy compared to the Matek as it uses a different gyro. I'll be releasing another video soon with some sample footage but won't be talking too in depth about tuning and the technical stuff in that video.

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

@@IgnitionFPV interesting. I’m building one now but using a slightly different setup. I was going with the 2806.5 1300kv. Would you say the 2808 are really good?

[@skyhighfpv469]

Do you think the hobbywing f4 fight controller would work? Or should i get a matek f722 hd??

[@IgnitionFPV]

Don't think the hobbywing f4 can even work for this. Any fc you use for this needs 8 motor outputs minimum. The Matek F722 HD is still the best

[@skyhighfpv469]

@@IgnitionFPV and the matek with hobbywing 60a is just plug and play? Do i need a 12v bec downstep for an airunit? Or am i good with just the matek fc?

[@IgnitionFPV]

@@skyhighfpv469 you will need to repin the connector. Highly suggested to power the air unit with a Pololu BEC for absolute reliability

[@skyhighfpv469]

@@IgnitionFPV which one the 12v 1a?

[@IgnitionFPV]

@@skyhighfpv469 the 12v 2.4A

[@ELNUEVOLL]

Wow que locura 🤙🤙👌👌

[@IgnitionFPV]

Can't wait to get this thing completely dialed in and send it with a proper camera!

[@thonfpv1323]

😍😍👍👍👍...

[@lucasnicoara7400]

Don’t maiden with weights and cameras people, just in case anything goes wrong

[@IgnitionFPV]

I maidened with weights as I loaded Finck's tune which was tuned with weights on.

[@axemanarbor]

@@IgnitionFPV Hi how do I get a hold of that tune ?
