Caddx Nebula Pro - Camera swap

[@jibbajabba4597]

I did this with my beta fpv 85x whoop, fitted perfectly, they used the nano camera in it with the adaptor to bring it up to micro camera size so this fits in great and makes flying such a more fun experience - you don't need to disassemble the vista though to change the camera cable, just undo the screw to the right and remove the tension bar and the cable will pop out, getting it in is a bit tricky but nothing a big magnifying glass won't solve.

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks for the tip. Didn't think about that

[@CKone41]

Hi Andrew you don't need to strip the vista to fit the cable just undo that one screw and you can just swap the cable.Great video

[@fpvwing]

this

[@AndrewNewton]

Aha, thanks. Didn't think of that

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Amazing video , always interesting and informative video review! Thanks so much Andrew!

[@AndrewNewton]

My pleasure!

[@hspeed8080]

Andrew, great camera and love the technology we have at our finger tips. look at that prop goooooo! No cameras on any planes yet but have to get there soon. Jeff

[@beefybeef1326]

That was a nice emergency landing!

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Andrew, Video looks very good. Nice prop ejection system. :-) You and Virginia stay safe.

[@jac7775]

Wooww good flight

[@The_Pub_]

Heat sink paste should always be replaced after separation Andrew. Air pockets do not transfer heat that well. Guess I'll have to wait for the next flight with the camera for FPV then. Good to see it happened close by and the Aermacchi survived!!!

[@AndrewNewton]

Damn there is so much I dont know, ah well, just have to enjoy the ride when it burns up.

@@AndrewNewton : You'll get there one day mate.. At least your having fun doing it.. BUT others who watch your channel May Not know this and prematurely destroy their gear which Not all of us get for free..

Nice one❤🔥👍

[@micsherwood4930]

where can i get a camera stand (nebula nano) like the one you are using?

[@kenfeagin9803]

I haven't tried any of the DJI stuff - It IS very interesting though. I do have a question. Did the prop land remarkably close to your car? That would be convenient lol!

[@AndrewNewton]

Alas no, it disappeared into the trees

[@EnglishTurbines]

Losing your prop in glorious HD...So, this was recorded on your DJI Goggles? A LOS test flight...What do you think to DJIs FPV system Andrew, now you've had it for a while?..

[@AndrewNewton]

Still a genuine surprise how big and clear the image is, every time I put the goggles on. I shared them around my flying buddies last time we were all flying and they were all drooling.

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@AndrewNewton Yes, I tried my mates on just before our weather and COVID shut us down...I just can't quite focus on the screens. The weird thing is, my reading glasses make it much worse...🤔😯🇬🇧

[@BlackTownie999]

@@EnglishTurbines There is prescription lenses available for the DJI goggles, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the company that makes them...I'm about blind without my glasses on so it is something I have to look into as well.

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@BlackTownie999 Yes, spend a fortune on goggles, only to discover you can't use them...🤔😳

[@koala2052]

@@EnglishTurbines You need to use your distant glasses with the goggles the ones you wear when driving your car, so it's just the opposite from reading glasses...

So when I have a caddx polar vista HD cam with 60 FPS can I only change the camera to nebula pro and have 120 fps without Firmware Update?

[@AndrewNewton]

Dont know sorry

[@rajeevgopal3961]

Removing the pins from VTX or camera is better to replace cameras?

[@AndrewNewton]

Probably easiest on the camera

[@FPVDiverBomber]

Can I plug a Dji au camera into a caddix vista that has a nebula . And vice versa back and forth? Will it work either way…. I want to swap a nebula for my nebula pro,,, and also swap the nebula pro, for a Dji au camera?

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes they all swap, same cables

[@trisfpv3002]

Do I haven't to take apart the vtx to change the cable, or can I just open the camera like you show near the end

[@AndrewNewton]

To change the cable fully you need to undo both. To swap cameras you only need to undo the camera end

[@sappireflames0009]

does the nebula pro work with any cmos fpv camera? I wanted to hotswap the main camera for a night vision one when I fly at night.

[@AndrewNewton]

No, only Nebula or DJI digital cameras

[@GONI-BTF]

do you know the name of the thermal paste on vista?

[@AndrewNewton]

Sorry, no

[@GONI-BTF]

@@AndrewNewton thanks

[@supernatural802]

i recently swapped a nano camera with a nebula pro. i kept the cable the nano was using and when i fire up nebula pro i get about 10 seconds of video in the goggles and then it goes black. everything seems to still show its transmitting video but the camera settings are greyed out. its as if vista thinks i still have the nano attached. not quite sure if i missed any settings, thoughts?

[@AndrewNewton]

Cant think of any reason other than damaged cable, or not seated right?

[@Fpv_Dad]

does the cable have to be swapped out? or is the cable the same in both cameras. thx

[@AndrewNewton]

Not necessary, cable is identical

[@20teamplayer]

Do you have to do any firmware update on the Caddx unit to get it to recognize the Nebula Pro since it can do 4:3 aspect and low latency mode?

[@AndrewNewton]

I haven't been following firmware updates

[@20teamplayer]

@@AndrewNewton Do you use low latency mode or the 4:3 aspect ratio in the goggles?

[@ioteo]

Does anyone know which is the communication protocol between the camera and the air unit? Any rumors about a future digital OSD with cool graphic?

[@AndrewNewton]

Unknown

[@ioteo]

@@AndrewNewton would you be interested in reviewing my project FPV COMBAT?

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks for the offer but I'll say no for now.

[@qqff3192]

Are you using a separate lipo to power the system or are you plugging into the receiver ?

[@AndrewNewton]

9V from flight control board usually, or straight from the flight battery

[@qqff3192]

@@AndrewNewton I plan to use a 3s 300mah directly to power it, is that enough watts?

[@AndrewNewton]

Guessing 5 min on high power, but I have not tested.

[@seekfpv]

Bro why you take it apart like that, you don’t need to do allat ☠️

[@AndrewNewton]

I know that now!

Hi Andrew intend to Use Caddx Nebula Pro on my Mavic Air 2 with the Dji Googles 1if i understand V1 has one Screen V2 has 2 2inch Screens I have one good left Eye and useless crooked right Eye . I google with lenses i see onle half of the Display I dont like the noisy DJI FPV and i am not interested in FPV racing .i am 80 years old on have not the speed of a 18 year old but i like flying taking Video Photos and especial Panoramas ...a marvel from the Sky i started out 3 years ago with Parrot Bebop 2 and also like the small manual Drone in my Backyard Andrew you live on the Gold coast and i am in south Brisbane i would like to meet with you sometime i will contact you later on your email and give you my Contact info Hermann

[@AndrewNewton]

Hi Hermann. Might be confusing the goggles. My V1 goggles have 2 screens just like the V2. There are single screen DJI goggles but I dont know anything about them. I'm in Geelong Vic, a bit further south than Gold Coast.

[@hermannschraut87]

@@AndrewNewton Hi Andrew thanks for the replay thought i saw a video ,you flying a Plane on the Gold coast but i cant be right all the time ,according to my Women. still Nebula Pro and DJI googles are a grate Combination . I tested Google2 at DJI shop here ...beautiful picture but what a pity seeing only one screen and paying for 2 ...so back to the Drawing board for now
