Flite Test - GoPro Head Tracker FPV - PROJECT

[@ChrisLawley43]

You guys make some awsome videos, I'm so happy I decided to get my plane back out from sitting up for 10 years now and trying to learn to fly all over again and seeing i can get a camera for it will make it even more fun. Thanks

[@ScruffyTheBarbarian]

I have always been a r/c car & truck guy until I discoverd your channel! Went out and bought a Champ and I am now hooked and anxious to keep progressing. Keep it up guys thanks.

[@torritoist]

I bought a Fenix 150 at the NEAT fair and met Dan and Diane. They are really nice people. I got the last Fenix 150 that they had and its an awesome plane.

[@Tech_Planet]

Really good stuff guys, I was thinking about getting a head tracker for my dragonlink uhf.

[@bearospace]

So glad to see more advanced fpv projects on flite test. thanks, guys. my next purchase is some goggles!

[@Alpatriod]

This is one if the best contraptions ever! Great job!

[@Bimmeraudi1]

This is just the coolest thing i've seen in a long time..

[@drcuffe]

You can do it with one, if you have pan and tilt, it will just use two channels of your system. I think they have a cable for head tracking that fits into 9x radio

[@PatBALEX]

Great video guy's..Nice set-up...It looks like a cross between Walle and Blue Thunder...

[@shastawayne7929]

Awesome guys, thanks.

[@MADelectriCITY]

We had an airdome in town for half a decade but it just shut down a couple years ago. It was used for golf just like that one there.

[@BrettAltea]

Using er9x firmware I programmed the radio so that I could flick the gear switch and the camera would centre and the head tracking would be disabled. Also enabled two pots to control up/down and left/right which was helpful for fine tuning where the centre was. Also could still use the pots to control the pan/tilt when head tracking was disabled as well.

[@TheBonafideHustler1]

Bad ass flight . Gonna have to build one !

[@beaker668]

Could you guys do a video showing how you set up the Fenix 150 as a twin engine FPV platform? This would be super helpful, as I would like to set up one myself. Great video as always!

[@LuccaValsamis]

Any landing that u dont die, is pretty dam awesome! -FlightTest

[@lonewolf7717]

I am sure that head tracker is a bit more crisp and responsive than even this video would suggest. The latency with the gopro output is noticeable even with a stationary setup, magnified a bit by the head tracker most likely. I would stick with a more conventional camera for head tracking purposes.....still cool as hell!

[@liamflood5308]

I'm new to fpv and want to get a kit at a low coast do you think you can help?

[@penztoy]

Ha, that RC plane looks like "Wall-E" with that gopro moving from side to side and up and down! LOL

[@tcngrr41]

Awesome setup! BTW, Have you experiment with 3D FPV (two cameras side by side, lenses approximately an eyes width apart)? Can the headset handle separate video signals to each eye display? I think the challenge will be in getting the video on you tube in a format that viewers can watch without special software or hardware. Anaglyph would be the easiest but would require viewers to have the red/cyan glasses.

[@tr4nscend]

guys change the SDHC card on your gopro. I can see defects in the vid. Try a SanDisk card. great vid :)

[@something-y6e]

Nice review!

[@CerebralDad]

looks nice and stable.

[@paulmckenzie6008]

"you said doo doo" 3:44 lol...

[@christopherpotter4332]

What about having the left/right head tracking servo control the rudder?

[@MrSonicKeith]

Great story guys.

[@stephenrumer6953]

I love this stuff! Thank you for the great reviews

[@brodriguezz88]

This is some cool stuff. You recommend a plane to start with? Decent starter set? I'm into rc nitro cars but always wanted to learn to fly.

[@Dusty_Moonpie]

Couldn't you wire that to the plane and not the camera and fly the plane with head movements? I know it would not be easy at first, but I am sure you could learn to control it.

[@TheGreenTucan]

this still doesnt explain how to setup the equipment :/ i need to know how to set it up from start to finish. like plugging in servos and programming it into the TX

[@weedweapon]

@5:15 "I'm rubbernecking" That is the funniest shit i've heard in ages. Rock on Josh.

[@SwingingPythons]

Simon Says knew someone would beat me to it. I thought that was hilarious too. Lol

[@wrduckclub]

Thanks guys!

[@alexnasci]

Good video.

[@Danimal-3D]

Were you guys using "Channel 1" on the Fatsharks? When flying mine I was getting pretty intense interference in the video feed thru the goggles... just not sure how you guys are powering the system and what channel you are using... Thanks!

[@martinchristensen774]

How could I pay you for the plane with gopro, controller and goggles ?

[@MrSonei6]

i have the Futab T14SG can u say my how i have to configure it for Hedtracking only to one Channel 5 up and down

[@ardrie]

im blown away, supa dupa , I must say, sensational

[@MrZhilvinas]

You only need a single radio with 6+channels (2extra for the headtracking) and support for this feature. Turnigy 9x works as well as most futabas. Spektrum doesnt support it though!

[@marre98]

Medic watches FliteTest!! :D

[@chrisleech1565]

circular polarized, if you want more info on the maker, clip the link in the description and scroll down thru the photos

[@TheCnKvids]

I would live to see a steering system based on the pilot's head turn. All you would need to control by hand would be the throttle. Simply look where you want to go.

[@revinsanjaya5101]

hi flite test. I want to ask about about micro HDMI to AV (FPV) can i connect micro HMDMI to Ts832 using HMDI2AV mini? without using RCD3015G thanks for the time flite test: D .. i love this channel

[@caphead]

back when flitetest was enjoyable

[@bruha6923]

caphead so true

[@zero00tolerance]

Could you guys do a video showing us how to set up the DJI Phantom for fpv please.

[@logangerling]

Best idea ever

[@RIPcombat]

Looks like fun

[@MarceloWings1]

Hello friends, always follow your videos here in Brazil ! I have some models of glasses: FatShark Dominator, Predator, AIO, but none of them offers precision in movements headtracker. Ex: when we turn the head left or right, and head back to the center, not the camera back to the center (always have to push the reset button of headtracker), and this hinders me in flight. You know tell me if you need some correction magnetic declination to improve the efficiency of headtracker in Brazil?

[@mulomantore]

@Bilal khaled Why dont you try to search on google such as long range fpv, or long range range rc transmitter..there are a lot of stuffs out there with various of brand and price.

[@TheCurrencyMan]

Friggen awesome!

[@mwdesigns09]

I use adblocker, its not because I don't want to support flitetest, its because I dont want to be waiting around, or hitting skip this ad in 15 seconds. I am under the impression they still get the money.

[@4NDR3SV]

How do you send your head position back to the airplane?

[@woodi101]

+Andrés Vélez I'd also like to know...

[@Lost_Hwasal]

+Andrés Vélez gyros, makes me mad because i was gonna try to make a prototype of something like this when i finished school.

[@jmsilhy]

The Fat Shark headset sends a signal (from gyroscopes installed in it - called head tracking module) to the radio via a cable, then the radio controls servos.

[@Uejji]

Chad it up on the forum!

[@Dkroes1]

You can use almost any camera as long as its small and light enough.

[@johnkolar9109]

Can I do this with a Flysky t6 tx and the Fatshark teleporters? On the back of tx it has the same plug as on goggles.

[@rbeasterfield]

so it looks as if you need to have to tx's 1 for plane and 1 for head set, is that corect? will you have a build video for the tracker unit on the plane?

[@monit111]

3d cams kind of work like that you can connect 2 gopros to get 3d but both files have to go thru the software to give you one true 3d clip

[@flyingphoenix113]

Do a review of the Go Pro3 from an FPV standpoint!

[@jeffcolhoun]

Think this system would work for some higher altitude stuff? Im currently on 900mhz but i get a lot of interference where I live (near a big city). So im tempted...

[@yamalduryea1112]

Do you need the second radio to do the HeadTracker? Can this be set up to only one radio? If so what type of radio? And how would it work?

[@honda2363]

Watching the go-pro camera move around looks kind of like Johnny 5's head from the short circuit movie, lol.

[@RC-ij4je]

The problem is that any fat shark goggles are pretty expensive.

[@PlaneButcher]

Hi im new to fpv and i was wondering were and what do i need to fly fpv. Thanks, matt

[@ktunnecl]

Hi guys great vids, I'm trying to get my fat shark head tracking to work with my JR DSX9 not having much luck,do you know if is compatible.

[@exile182]

How much effect does the movement of the camera effect the airplane?

[@linkintiger]

is there any website that show how to build and connect that 2 servos control unit that you have on your plane?

[@lookeflite]

Filtetesters, do your guys have ham licenses? Is 900mhz or 5.8ghz fpv system legal in US without ham license? Thanks

[@fairtony]

in the intro, they show a clip of a helicopter flying into a dummie. what episode is that from?

[@PlaneButcher]

ok thanks alot but does it matter which radio i use? i have a tactic 6 ch radio,

[@haydenpotter4368]

why was Joshua not flying the plane? and do i have to us a different remote to fly the plane if i do the fpv

[@johnrobertson7583]

Its illegal to fly a model aircraft out of sight solely by camera,its in the AMA quidelines used by the FAA.

[@Jprostudios]

Is that Quasimodo or Igor in the background at 3:38 ?

[@xivid1234]

Does that work with the Go pro Hero 3 Black edition? Because it has a different Video output.

[@eduardoguzman4189]

i need help!!! where can i buy the goggles? and how do i set up the camera and servos motors? thanks

[@eduardoguzman4189]

i need some help where i can buy the 'fat shark actitud with head tracking' and how do i set it up in my quadcopter.?

[@GeorgeBonez]

Well I have Firefox but I dont use it. Ill check it out and thanks man. :)

[@nikonblaze]

How the transition is possible?? The gopro's movies are very weight! a lot of giga.

[@wildwilco]

what is the transmitter in josh's hands? i need a good transmitter that can handle pan/tilt.

[@themikeymikechannel2947]

Would you guys happen to be in florida by any chance?

[@2007crf450r]

is the fpv your using in this video legal in the usa it looks like your using 5.8 frequency i thought that was illegal to use in the usa???????????

[@WyllSurfAir]

hay will u post a build vid for the camera mount

[@JaredReabow]

wow that looks great,let me go rob a bank quickly to afford this

[@ICrashALot]

what type of antennas are those in the goggle and video TX?

[@PropellerSteve]

What is that big inflatable building?

[@bishopline7339]

This a good taken for beginners, but what about going more detailed explanation how to become a long range flier with this equipment, because after your first week flying this equipment you will become anxious for expand the distance of your fly.

[@iLoVeChocOlatE216]

Do a review of fenix 150

[@FukeU1248]

It all starts at 2:05

[@footballstriker5185]

what is the fpv controller they yoused

[@jonchaus1291]

do you have to use a go pro for fpv

[@hakanuslu1823]

There are two controls How are camera movements and aircraft movements done Head Tracker connected to 2nd controller Airborne service 1. connected to controller There are two receivers for two controls on the plane How the system works.

[@jellyman1735]

The head tracker module has a signal wire that connects to the radio transmitter that you pilot it with.

[@jbalatutube]

@honda2363 number 5 is alive !!

[@johnrobertson7583]

There was a cool video I watched 5 years ago from a guy who made this system on his RC plane. So this isnt some amazing breakthrough. His wasnt made from wood either. Dang if I can find it anywhere though.

[@hbunnie1120]

That was way cool..!

[@amoo3505]

please tutorial on how to build PLEASE

[@friedchicken1]

now use satellite as a receiver and transmitter and you can fly from one place to another! :D is that possible at all? (that'd be too cool)

[@AARONJW84]

thats pretty cool..

[@ilikerealflight]

3:39 - 3:40 what is the guy in the back round doing?

[@arinbhoir3173]

your the best

[@skysurferuk]

Can you get airsick with these?

[@billybobjims2]

you could probably make a plane that depends on your head movements

[@MrTaz0079]

Any one using the gopro hero 3 black for fpv or are you still waiting for all the bugs to be worked out??

[@RedFlyer350]

i wonder what that would be like with the 350 qx :D

[@brugamer99]

What are flight times on a zeph?
