RC Car FPV Long Range Driving - DJI O3 - Insane Range and Penetration

[@chrisyeagley321]

Hey would you mind showing us a tutorial of your setup? I have a TRX4 that I have been wanting to do this to.

[@NUeB_RCFPV]

Watching this not for the 1st time and it is fun again - videos like this got me into the hobby. Thanks a lot! 🙂

[@namikohonda1458]

Abgefahren 😆😁👍hat Spaß gemacht...

[@KerniFPV]

vielen dank, und das freut mich sehr ist halt einfach mal was neues :)

[@Christoufff]

C'est vraiment un plaisir à regarder! J'attends l'explicatif technique avec impatience pour me réaliser quelque chose d'équivalent car c'est génial. It really is a pleasure to watch! I'm impatiently waiting for the technical explanation so I can make something equivalent because it's awesome

[@libmananchannel]

Hello "Kerni FPV"! Thank you for showing me such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I look forward to your next work! Have a nice day!

[@KerniFPV]

Hello, So happy that you like that Video, and yeah we working on new stuff testing a huge amount on antennas and so on to get more range :) Have a great Weekend and Happy driving or flying!

[@carcomp101]

This is very nice. I have a similar, albeit older and cheaper system. Q903 FWD rc car, Small RaceBand 8 camera / tx, and a set of SkyZone O4X goggles. My limit right now is the range of the cheap rc transmitter.

[@KerniFPV]

hey thanks and oh yeah this an old system but we did a lot in years back anlog look on ebay and so for a used TBS 5,8ghz like unify or so they should be cheap and with an i would say decent antenna you should have way more range!

[@Magneticitist]

That save though. Awesome.

[@KerniFPV]

hehe thanks yeah we got some luck with that save, hobefully we dont Need it to far away :)

[@beachtrash1852]

Hello, are you saying you used the Dji as a stand alone for video only? That is great news if that's what you mean. I've been trying to find out if that was possible. What kind of video range do you get that way? What are you using for rc link? Great video! Hope to hear from you.

[@trumblez]

What antennas did you have on your goggles and how far was the furthest point away from you in this drive? That range really just seems like magic to me, its insane

[@KerniFPV]

Hi on the google the Stock Antenna and on the car longer ones have to Look for the Name but They are technical the same as the original just longer in Building to have the antenna as high as possible on the Cars These Helps a lot, and the Rest ist just looking where we can stand to have a Most line of Sight as possible thats the real Magic

[@ecosseskyview]

Brilliant

[@KerniFPV]

Thank you very much!

[@LanceCadena]

VERY COOL!!!

[@karlstern7877]

How did you get the O3 Air Unit out of low power mode without a flight controller?

[@dronelegal]

Bom dia e Feliz Sábado!!! Vídeo Top amigo. Já deixei o like . Grande abraço, TMJ

[@KerniFPV]

Muito obrigado, amigo, fico feliz que tenha gostado e um abraço para você também!

[@mekongdelta1956]

Hey man, thank you for this content. Beautiful video and awesome stabilization. Are you willing to build ready to run, out of the box kit like this? I’d def pay for it. Awesome technology.

[@Djbassbitz]

Could you share your solution to getting the o3 at full power/armed and your cooling solution for it?

[@GeorgeRealFU]

You nailed it great video and sound design bro🙂💪👍

[@KerniFPV]

THanks buddy glad you like it!!!

[@ChaddRainsFPV]

Nice cars my dude! Excellent setups all the way around 🤙

[@KerniFPV]

Thanks buddy yeah they are super fun to drive around and also a great performance sure the best RC Car I ever did have in the last years

[@shaneking007]

Saugeil, habter au n vergleich von der vista zur o3 welche besser is von der reichweite ?

[@KerniFPV]

vielen dank und gute frage also aus der drohnen erfahrung raus was ich mitterlweile alles mit der o3 gemacht habe reichweite ist vermutlich gleich aber die penetration ist mit der o3 nochmal eine ganz andere nummer aber wir könnten mal einen vista pod on top setzen dann könnt ma vergleichen das wäre möglich ja aber bin mir recht sicher das die o3 länger fliegbar bzw fahrbar bleibt da man mit 4mbit wirklich noch ein vernüftiges bild hat bei der vista wirds ab 8 schwierig

[@AndersJ48]

How do you arm the 03 unit?

[@driverman8615]

Goggles? and what type of equipment do you use? I have MANY RC cars and I love to hook it up FPV!

[@KerniFPV]

yeah googles, and I use DJI O3 on this Lasernut RC Truck, But it also work with the older vista oder HDzero and so on, I like the O3 because the ouctome of the video is butter smooth and great image but it is some kind of expensiv.

[@Top-Jimmy]

What a great pleasure it was to watch this. Please tell me you found a way to ARM it to its full output? I have had my Goggles 2 and 03 Air unit for 3 months now and they are still in the packaging. It was only until I found out after I placed the order, that to set this all up properly, The system needed a hack as such for ground vehicles. Can you please share how you managed to unleash the full potential of both 03 CAM and Goggles 2 ?, I would be very, very much grateful for it mate... Thanks again!! PRC - Australia.

[@KerniFPV]

Thanks for your awesome comment, and sure im in the middle of making a video about how tu build it up but in the meanwhile there are two ways one way is using an Fflightcontroller from the FPV Drones and install INAV ROVER on it that's a complicated way the only benefits are you can have an osd with GPS and so on my car is based on this, the other way is using an ardunio and building up this project cost nearly nothing around 6 bucks for the arduino github.com/ramiss/arduino_DJI_03_RC_ARM

[@Top-Jimmy]

@@KerniFPV 👍👍

[@johnsteinmetz4000]

I also would be interested in watching a video on this. On my dji fpv drone I used dronehacks to remove geo fencing and altitude limits. However I am now starting a fpv car build and am trying to decide whether or not to go with the dji air unit or find something else. What type of range are you currently getting on your ground vehicles. Thanks and awesome videos.

[@mdvyt1734]

I assume this is the recording form onboard the VTX. If so, can you please post the video from the goggles/VRX so we can actually see the claimed great reception?

[@KerniFPV]

yeah this it the recording from the Onboard VTX, and sure I will upload the DVR tonight and come back to you when it is online!

[@KerniFPV]

so here you find the DVR from the rhis ride kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6O4kJaDZ8uEfpo

[@cwdgamedev822]

Is this GoPro or air unit footage? Does it look that smooth through the goggles?

[@KerniFPV]

Hi buddy this is the O3 Footage, and sadly not it is still shaking in google live feed, but with good damping and a good camera mount like mine prindet out of TPU it is driveable and make fun

[@edwarddesposito4476]

Maybe try sensored ESC/motor for crawling. Allows you to slowly creep over stuff and have a lot more lower-end torque.

[@HamdanHasan1]

When I use DJI O3 on RC Car, it always in STANDBY MODE, LOW POWER. how to fix it? Please help 😢

[@RexSmithII]

How did you get the air unit 03 to work with no flight controller? I was told it needs one to know when it’s armed

[@KerniFPV]

there is a Project on github here is the link we have one car with an Flight Controller and two without and with this little module github.com/ramiss/arduino_DJI_03_RC_ARM

[@NoPlansGarage]

Just needs a head tracking system!

[@KerniFPV]

yeah I know this the next step just trying to improve the overall smothness while driving at the moment with gimbals and so on, and from that on next step are head tracing systems.

[@4KRCDrift]

❤

[@KerniFPV]

THANKS

[@kodak_jack]

FWIW, the RadioLink 6 channel transmitter gets 600 meters/ 1900 ft of range.

[@KerniFPV]

yeah I use the Radiolink with TBS Crossfire to exdent my controll range

[@RexSmithII]

Nice, what scale buggy?

[@KerniFPV]

Thanks it is a 1/10 Scale

[@thesolowmusic6244]

I don't get it. I cant get more than 200 meters range with the DJI 03 Air Unit. Would love to know what setup you have going on the get that far for video transmission

[@KerniFPV]

one of the most mistakes is to stand wrong we normaly look to stay in line of sight, when you can see it with your eys it should also work to drive there in the limits of the system, and yes a video is coming with full setup

[@ice-yi3gj]

Hey where can I buy one of the fpv from I will pay anything for it!? That's looks awesome 👌

[@noormedianl]

Hallo, how i can have like this car? Can i buy ut online?

[@KerniFPV]

hello the car itself is a Losi Lasernut but the FPV Setup on top is a coustom DIY build so no you can´t buy as one Car

[@profesorrcadventure4679]

Where this place?

[@PanchitoElCarroFpv]

Que puente tan impresionante

[@Newmeishu]

ist es bei Siegen?

[@supermariofpv1724]

How is it possible. Crazy antennas

[@KerniFPV]

yeah it is crazy but so much fun

[@danielharris3827]

How are you arming your 03?

[@KerniFPV]

with an flight controller but there is also an arduino Poject how can arming the O3

[@danielharris3827]

Do you use BF ardu or inav? Do a video on it please

[@alexoliver9201]

Are you on the bridge by any chance 🤙🏼👏🏼👌🏼

[@KerniFPV]

No

[@alexoliver9201]

I know this may be a bit to ask, but could you, next time, put a Google maps view of the area. Where you are and where you got too.

[@JN003]

...how did you get the camera so stable, even on uneven surfaces?... pretty impressive

[@KerniFPV]

This is the outcome from the DJI O3 system there is a software stabilization on it so the video did get recorded and stabilized at the same time. And the Lasernut as already super stable on his own then some mounting improvements with TPA 3D Print for the high frequency and here you are but give my video description a look there you find an DVR video this ist the live video link between car and google this is what I see while driving there it is way more bumpier but still pretty good we are experimenting with gimbals at the moment to improve driving experience

[@JN003]

@@KerniFPV thx !

[@MattHorvat]

You should try using the storm 32 brushless gimbal controller to mount the camera on. Takes out all the vibration, so with the 03 the ride is dynamite.

[@kosdavid]

6:10 it's this the real life? 😆

[@KerniFPV]

yeah it is, i installed ein 50kg omg Servo and this one is super fast, would say everyone how get an lasernut bevore you ever drive go and build in an new servo at least 25-32kg makes the drvining way more better

[@kosdavid]

😅I know man, I was talking about the faces of the cyclists when they saw the RC cars

[@KerniFPV]

@@kosdavid hehe :) yeah they was not aware what is going on here ;)

[@MrWeusi]

Where can I buy those cars?

[@LuckyPratama71]

Om kalau mau pesen gmn caranya

[@Revelation1177]

No way u getting that type of range 🤯 wats ur setup

[@KerniFPV]

think we could go even more future when not so many trees are around, and FPV System is the DJI O3, and RX TBS Crossfire

[@CHRISBUILDZZ]

Okay even with a crossfire and and 03 air unit I still don’t understand your range. It’s not your distance that gets me, it’s that your in the mountains and the tree cover is dense. The only way this could work is if your on the bridge up above seen in the video right?

[@CHRISBUILDZZ]

It’s also looks like you’re vehicles rise in elevation in the video how could you be at the bottom of the hill with that range

[@katherinesilens2994]

Do you have a tutorial on how to build this?

[@danielharris3827]

Are these 1/10 scale?

[@KerniFPV]

yes this 1/10 but big tieres for a 1/10

[@carcomp101]

@21:34 - every time I try this, both cars end up upside down.

[@KerniFPV]

hehe no worry we also not manage to make it happen every time but we did train a little bit, in the front or the back it easier to make just give a frist small input to see if you lift other way change your angel, and the go for it :)

[@KHoff77]

I did this on a frozen lake once. Do not recommend for reasons you might suspect.

[@LingLing-ou6nt]

We need a tutorial build
