How to Build PROTO25 | Micro LR Ripper | Sub250g FPV Frame

[@mjodr]

Best design philosophy and build vlog I have ever seen. Looks like a great design!

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you that means a lot!!! ✌️🙏

[@damianwyczakowski2491]

I will order one or two in the New year for sure !!!

[@PattyFlipz]

NIIICEE!

[@damianwyczakowski2491]

Beautifull!!!! I want this Little ripper !!!

[@PattyFlipz]

YAY!!

[@GhostFpv]

I like the blend of carbon fibre with the TPU for the design. Great build !

[@PattyFlipz]

Thanks bro!

[@eddie_Za]

Really really nice build... A lot of useful design

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you for the kind comments!

[@cathychen7197]

Seriously premium kit and a lot of thought has gone into this!

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you so much!

[@B4LOoO]

Amazing work here ❤

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you so much! ♥

[@thevulturefpv]

It took me long enough but after watching this video, the Proto25 is gonna be my 1st build! Awesome looking quad and super nice video!

[@PattyFlipz]

Glad to hear it man! Reach out anytime with questions!! ❤️

[@thevulturefpv]

@@PattyFlipz thanks man! While we here: would the Diatone Mamba Mk4 F740 AIO 40a fit the Proto25? It says it has 25.5x25.5mm mounting

[@PattyFlipz]

@@thevulturefpv yup! It will fit! :)

[@thevulturefpv]

@@PattyFlipz what would be your second motor option. the tmotor 1404s kv4600 are hard to find these days :((

[@PattyFlipz]

@thevulturefpv oh that’s a tough one. I think any other 1404 brand with 4500-4600kv would work though. My friend uses the flyfish Rc version and it’s great. Try aliexpress? Usually they have stock and cheap shipping 😂

[@isramv74]

Great work!

Thanks bro!

[@ShawnG_FPV]

This video is definitely making it easier for me to want to build one of these out, thank you for sharing!

Now I gotta go sell a body part cause the 03 air unit looks like a must for this frame lol!

[@PattyFlipz]

Glad it was helpful! 🙏👍

[@kibbycabbit]

@@ShawnG_FPV I hear you!! It's not cheap. My first O3 did hurt my wallet. Until after month of use, I decided I wanted another. I created a virtual piggy bank so I had no issue getting more. Good luck!

Thank you!

[@zethFPV]

I have a cinewhoop laying around with that electronics setup maaaan 🔥, well I still need to get an O3 if I were to build this little monster.

[@PattyFlipz]

Yeah that be awesome to just move over the guts for sure hehe. If you have access to a 3d printer I have a vista holder you can download. Its just a tighter version of the O3 holder. My buddy also runs P25 with vista and polar. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YdBbhAkIpLZikvVDqZEcUOoA77fVPjWO

[@adamcfpv5372]

Sweet little build i want to do the same but with Walksnail

[@PattyFlipz]

Should be possible! Here's my friends build with HD ZERO. www.protofpv.com/portfolio-collections/customer-builds/p25pink If you ever build one would love to feature it on the website!

[@adamcfpv5372]

That would be really cool it will definitely go on my build list I'm working on a 7 inch 8s build at the moment and then I can get on this one

[@KOrnhOliO1]

Probably work fine with mods to 3d prints and you printing them out. Just don't expect to get the performance of the 03 nor the distance with crystal clear video. There's nothing that comes close to 03 !

[@adamcfpv5372]

@@KOrnhOliO1 I've had very good luck with Walksnail, I have flown a couple miles away so far

[@Mattdokn]

awesome build, do you have a video going through your o3 settings and maybe even showing what you do to the footage in post? the clips you showed look so amazing its hard to believe thats from the o3 recording lol

[@PattyFlipz]

Thanks man! Yup its all O3! Ooh a video showing the settings, hmm great idea! I'll work on that! But I can tell you now it was ultrawide, 4K 60 1/120 iso100~800 use ND filter, Sharpness -1, D Cinelike - stabilized with final cut pro and using a advanced lut plugin with control to make it look towards film, and output 4K 30.

For sure!! 👍 thank you for watching

[@hairyhider7478]

Unbelievable..... soooooooo rad

[@PattyFlipz]

XD yaaass

[@alainassaf]

Nice build ! Did you consider a naked air unit ?

[@PattyFlipz]

Thanks dude! Yes! I ordered a naked O3 kit from Flywoo. Should be here end of December. And I'll add the STL file to the P25 downloads section on my website.

[@ronniejr9236]

Got mine in today 😊 So excited for this build! I have a goku f722 mini stack im considering throwing in it..... any thoughts?

[@PattyFlipz]

It’s a possibility! But if you are using it with an o3 air unit it probably won’t fit, but if your vtx is thin, like a single board it should be totally fine

[@ronniejr9236]

@PattyFlipz the frame is awesome I like the work you put into design, honestly I was considering throwing a naked 03 AU, to adjust for the size. But I definitely might have to get me an AIO

[@pdtech4524]

Cool build. 👍

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you!🙏

[@dronefilmsgermany]

Great work. Can you recommend a Speedy BEE stack for this build?

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you so much! You can use the speedybee stack with analog or the flat vtx style boards. If you plan to use o3 au, vista, any box style vtx you will need to use All in one flight controller (AIO)

[@malnasimon7041]

This is genuinely one of the coolest frames out there. But the price...MHHHMM...idk. I personally cant afford a 70$ frame if I could just get one similar (not as good) for 20-30. But nice build man!

[@PattyFlipz]

Thanks man! Yeah i totally get it. The reason is price like that cause of t700, tpu and titanium in the kit ..Hmmmm… you could just buy the CF plates on their own. $35 Canadian dollars ($26 USD) www.protofpv.com/product-page/proto25-spares Find a friend to print you the tpu prints (I provide them all online anyway) and You can also source your own steel / ti hardware or use your existing spares! The instruction sheet is online too if you want to plan ahead with which screws etc. :) drive.google.com/file/d/1-ua-iwnEtZbd563HOyhuC49keHIZd8hc/view?usp=drivesdk

[@DigitalCruzer]

I like how he uses thicker cf for rigidity and then machines it down to save weight where its not needed on his frames, I've had that in my mind for years, just never had the funding or cad skillz. Thick carbon fibers kind of expensive, I've kind of thought about cutting out layers of thin cheaper cf by hand that over laps to reduce waste then ruff it up and glue it all together as one peice so it can have hollow sections. But i soooo want one of these and a proto5, but my budget only lets me buy cheap frames

[@PattyFlipz]

Thanks so much for noticing the details in the design! I’m in the preliminary phases of working on a very cheap 4” ripper Protofpv style. So keep tabs with the channel! If you have a 3d printer, proto5 and proto25 can be purchased without the 3d prints (last colour swatch option in the product pages and you save around 15% all stl files are provided online) making it more affordable. It still comes with all the good stuff like titanium hardware. Hope you can save up some few bones to get it. Would love to have you as a future customer. Thanks for the comment! 👍💪

[@QsilverFpv]

Now that's cool stuff especially considering every time you pull out a 5-inch everyone yells at you for a flying a drone but when you fly a tiny whip people laugh at the people telling them not to fly it

[@PattyFlipz]

I'm glad you see it the way I do!

[@art_by_bastico8958]

Really nice Frame 😮❤🎉 Would love it, if I would own a o3 😂. Is there a way to mount an vista or better an WS Avatar? Whats the shipping to Europe?

[@PattyFlipz]

I have a vista holder tpu print download you can use. Or you can create a stack with walksnail. Or vista. When I have time I might create a walksnail sling design too.

[@PattyFlipz]

Shipping to Europe is $35 Canadian dollars :) ($26 usd) 12 business days

[@Deathwish_fpv]

Is this for dji set up only...can you use any components you want

[@PattyFlipz]

Yes, it includes hardware where you can build a universal stack with any of the popular components. It won't fit the old really big v1/v2 dji air unit though. :) Here's an example with HD ZERO www.protofpv.com/portfolio-collections/customer-builds/p25pink

[@Deathwish_fpv]

@@PattyFlipz ok cool...reason I ask...im not a fan of dji anything...wanted to use other components...like the frame though

[@PattyFlipz]

@@Deathwish_fpv Great! :D

[@FPV_ee]

your frame has fully my attention, i just wonder if the walksnail moonlightkit also fits in the frame. do you have an walksnail conversionkit? or will it fit?

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi is that the new system just released? I will look into it and see if I can either design a quick release sling holder for it and dual rear antenna set up, otherwise the frame does have all the universal hardware to make it happen if you want to hard mount it. I also have a dual antenna mount in the downloads page of my website already. Keep tabs on the progress or updates on the community section of my KZbin page. Thanks 🙏

[@FPV_ee]

@@PattyFlipz yes exactly the new system is slightly bigger then the 03. I will contact you via your website for order to Germany. I like especially size 2.5 and possibility for moonlight 19mm cam. Really great!! Respect ✊

[@PattyFlipz]

@bastelwastel42 great!! 👍 looking forward to working on this ⚡️

[@jp-3dairgunworks152]

Interesting design

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you for watching!

[@cathychen7197]

I was thinking of converting my Flywoo Explorer LR4 03 to this frame. Would that stack fit in this frame?

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi Cathy! The stack would fit, but then your O3 won't fit up top without longer stand offs, then it would throw off the whole look. A naked O3 might work maybe? but I don't have those dimensions, but then you would have to make some new prints to hold it too. Also, the explorer motors are 1404, but unfortunately they are 12x12 mount (P25 frame is 9x9), so that won't fit either. The only thing you can swap in is the O3 AU and antenna. The GM10 GPS and buzzer won't fit either, you'll need custom 3d printed mounts... Sorry...but it does sound like a fun project! :D Please review the specifications and recommended parts on the website or the description. Thanks!!

[@hairyhider7478]

Will it accept 12mm through 9mm mount pattern???? If so i'm buying 2 tonight

[@PattyFlipz]

hahaha awww I'm sorry, no it doesn't work. Works only with 9x9

[@awsstvawsstv2809]

Whats the flight time exepected with this quad on 720 or 850 lipo?

[@PattyFlipz]

Depending on the motors you use, my set up is more power hungry. Possibly 4min-4.5min until storage level.

[@JonFloFPV]

I run this with an HDzero setup and usually run 650mah batteries. I can get around 5-7 minutes if I'm not pushing too hard (cruising).

[@v55e]

Great job brother where do I get the pieces what is the name of the store or the account of the company that owns the parts and the camera ❤

[@PattyFlipz]

Thank you! you can buy the frame pieces from Protofpv.com and the camera used is DJI o3 air unit. Electronics are all sold separately. Buy those from your favourite Rc stores.

[@T69-AK]

Hi again… Just out of curiosity, is it as non-intrusive as e.g. the Explorer regarding the noise level? It is very interesting to see that people see in small, silent drones (regardless how powerful they are) a harmless toy, which is very relaxing for the pilot 🙂 BTW can't wait until Tuesday, when your kit finally arrives ...

[@PattyFlipz]

Ahaha nice!! Glad it’s arriving soon. Explorer is quieter, but this one’s not terribly loud. it’s extra compact cuteness makes up for it 😂😜 I noticed both quads do get louder with a heavy battery on it so that makes a difference too in sound. 👍

[@T69-AK]

😂 I’m getting a cutie then 🤙

[@T69-AK]

The tiny cutie arrived today, immediately quit work and started building. I'm very impressed, the T700 carbon is super nice and your TPU parts as well! Well done! I'll give it the official name "Cutie", because it really is tiny ... If I hadn't seen it in your video, I would believe it can carry a 3000mah LION pack ...

[@T69-AK]

Finished building thanks to your video. The soldering took most of the time. Everything made sense and every part made the impression of being well thought through. I might change the antenna mount as it seems to be a bit lose for my taste ... Love it!

[@PattyFlipz]

@axelkunze4117 yay I’m glad you got it!! What a cutie name!! 😆🤩 please share/email your build and photos when you can. I’ll add it to my website feature :)

[@FlyingBeeFPV]

Hey this is a really neat and functional design. Is it possible to fit the speedybee f405 20mm stack inside?

[@FlyingBeeFPV]

Never mind you already have it covered 😅

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi! No problem! I’ll answer anyway. Since it’s a stack, As long as the vtx you are using is a single board type it should all fit fine. If it’s the moonlight 4K or o3 any big metal case style, you are gonna need longer stand offs . 👍

[@gregdavidd]

Have you tried it with bi-blade? I am guessing those props are too small to support that much weight with bi-blades?

[@PattyFlipz]

No, actually, haven't tried! Sounds interesting though!

[@kibbycabbit]

I cannot find any bi-blade prop with aggressive pitch. Fly with bi-blade using the same payload, you will need to move throttle stick up significantly which may makes freestyle more challenging.

[@PattyFlipz]

@@kibbycabbit Thank you Kibby!

[@gregdavidd]

@@kibbycabbit Yea I wasnt thinking freestyle just for fun to see if it would give longer range. Props are cheap so easy thing to test.

[@AfafPrinceOSH]

Hey dude what motor would be best for 2.5 inch and 3 inch props? Im intending to build a design capable of supporting both size props. So which size and what kv would give most thrust at 4s?

[@PattyFlipz]

I have 4s 2.5” and 3” quads, the 1404 4xxxkv 4s works really well for both. Please note this p25 frame in the video, max size is 2.5” because of its compact squashed X geometry. Thanks!

[@AfafPrinceOSH]

​@@PattyFlipz If 2s liion is used would it be underpowered or something? Since 4s is pretty heavy, can 2s be used instead and get somewhat 8-10 mins flight time cruising?

[@PattyFlipz]

@AfafPrinceOSH sorry man I’ve never tried 2s lion before so I’m not sure. 🤔 be interesting to find out for sure

[@AfafPrinceOSH]

@@PattyFlipz would u mind giving it a try and letting me know? 😅

[@PattyFlipz]

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi Patrick, awesome!! Here is a goggle DVR video of a flight with Proto5. Please note in this video, the p5 is loaded with a 120g gopro mini 11 hanging upside down under the quad (touching landing pad!), and using a 1400 6s lion on top, and smaller 4.9" props: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWmtlmueYrJnd8Usi=14V4mT6bG9hdbTG4

[@MaxMorfiX]

Can you mount aio on 25.5x25.5 holes but mount video transmitter on 20x20 holes? I want to build this drone with analog, but the vtx I want to use has 20x20 holes

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi! Yes I include an adapter, it looks like a square with an X in it. It has 20x20 and 25.5x25.5 holes. Also has room to add additional screws to start putting your 20x20 on top. You can see it on the product pic beside the frame: www.protofpv.com/product-page/proto25-micro-long-range-ripper - If you end up not needing it, some people also just use it as stack tie down with nuts, and then you can secure accessories on top of it with zip tie. Thank you for the interest.

[@MaxMorfiX]

@@PattyFlipz Thanks! Going to buy this frame soon!

[@PattyFlipz]

@MaxMorfiX looking forward to it!! 🤩🙌

[@netwrkspider]

Which AIO are you using for this build?

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi I’m using a T motor AIO but not sure if I recommend it because I have trouble flashing anything over bf4.3. any 35a AIO will do with usb on the side and enough uarts for the accessories

[@zekeq1523]

is this compatible with the original dji air unit or are there prints available to make it so?

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi there are prints online you can download and print that support the caddx vista but not the original air unit. I’m not sure if the original air unit will fit in there. Might be too wide that the props strike it.

[@gregdavidd]

What kind of flight times with the 4s 18650 li-ion?

[@PattyFlipz]

I think you can probably pull off 15 minutes until land now if doing a nice cruise. For example, this video I ended the flight at 10 minutes and used up 2076mah, but I was trying to go fast most of the time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGKYpmmJop2Llac

[@TorontoFPV]

Nice

[@ivanytch]

What is model of 1100mAh battery and its weight? Thank you!

[@PattyFlipz]

Hi! It's GNB 1100 60/120c liHV 4S and it is 90g!

[@ivanytch]

@@PattyFlipz Wow, cool! Thanks!

[@hairyhider7478]

You should offer a 3" and 3.5" bottom plate for and up charge

[@PattyFlipz]

yeah that be really cool! I did play around with the idea, but at the 3" to 3.5" size it starts making sense not to stack everything on top of each order (in order to keep the no props in view feature). If I simply change the baseplate to longer arms, props will become in view, OR I can make the camera cage longer... but then it will start having turtle neck look aesthetic.

[@hannoc4499]

Great video, I just finished mine as my first build. Is anyone using Betaflight 4.5 for the better GPS support? I'd like to give it a go but I have no experience PID/Filter tuning and I have no idea what settings can be safely transferred over from PattyFlipz BF 4.3 settings to BF 4.5. Does anyone have anyone a good working tune for BF4.5?

[@DannyFPV04]

How well would this work with the Walksnail VTX systems?

[@PattyFlipz]

You will have to create either a 20x20 or 25x25 stack like what my friend did with HD ZERO: www.protofpv.com/portfolio-collections/customer-builds/p25pink All the hardware is included to make it happen.
