Rotor Riot Spec Kwad - HD1 Build with DJI FPV System

[@jhonnylacksville6765]

i feel like a 5 minute bonus of you flying the builds would be the icing on the cake. i invested the time to watch the build i wanna see the result. i say this with no ill intent, only providing input from an outside perspective. thanks for all you guys do

[@Jamesn-js1zp]

I purchased one of these kits and unfortunately I received two of the same 3D print camera mounts (both right side) and the 3D print was bit shabby. To add to this two of the HobbyWing threaded flight stack standoffs didn't have threads and one of the Hypetrain Blaster motors was missing a prop nut. However, after contacting the Rotor Riot service team they couldn't have been more helpful, they quickly responded by sending me new parts required to ensure the build was of high quality. I highly recommend Rotor Riot and their aftermarket service is outstanding. Great service guys!

[@Jamesn-js1zp]

Cheers guys, will definitely let you know when I receive the parts.

[@veizour]

Thanks for leaving the 'mistake' in the video. Your jump stuck out in my mind and it now reminds me each time I get ready to power the drone on for binding and setting.

[@robertparenton7470]

Thank you! I bought the frame and parts from Rotor Riot. This is a very addictive hobby! Having so much fun. Frisco, TX. Getting my friends into this hobby. The video builds are greatly valuable!

[@konradchristen]

The routing of the motor wires is genius. I love that

[@RGMGFitness]

I've had to re-build my HD1 already (crashed it) and this video has been EXTREMELY helpful...thanks guys for putting this together. It really helps!! 👍👍👍

[@lakaiinhd]

I’m new to FPV and this is exactly what I was looking for! After plenty of research despite all the hate I see rotor riot getting, I decided to go with this build from Rotor Riot because of the fact I dig their professionalism pumping out high quality videos working with reputable companies such as DJI. Thank you again to Rotor Riot for providing us with great quality content!🙌🏾

[@markcozzie]

Why are they getting hate?,I'm new to all this stuff..Thanks.👍

[@MrDarkWarrior89]

Thanks for this video Le Drib, definitely helped me with my first build. I couldn't be happier how it turned out.

[@OpaFPV]

Superb Build Video Drew! You showed not only the unique steps for the DJI but also shared many tips from your years' of experience. Very nice!

[@ilkanar1672]

13:15 if this is your first time soldering, make sure to be carefull with temperature, too high might cause pad to fly off the board and basicly render the pcb usseles.

[@afrog2666]

Another thing for first timers: look up a quick "soldering 101" video, and USE FLUX! it makes life a whole lot easier :)

[@CluFu]

Its like building your first PC its exciting I might have to follow this guide in the future.

[@davechapel4514]

This is why I like the kakute f7 flight controller, barely no soldering!

[@Parzavle]

Yes soldering sucks

[@seattleitefpv]

This has become the DJI Riot channel...

[@MrBzungali]

I agree, for the people who don't have the DJI or can't afford it. This station is not really helpful anymore. I miss the old days of rotor riot.

[@jdl8iv6jdl8iv6]

I know it’s almost like they talk about the products they use and like.... sooo laaaaaaaaaame. You have admit that it’s better than the. Only making videos of products they make them self... “Using the rotor riot frame, and the rotor riot motors, tape the wires down with the rotor riot tape, and then solder it to the rotor riot solder and rotor riot tin. Then tighten all of your rotor riot screws with your rotor riot wrenches....” Keep telling me about the products you guys actually use please! And keep giving props to the companies that are making good products! Thanks RR!!!

[@jasondonavich2758]

They must have some sort of product placement, publicity thing going on with dji.

[@thierry01500]

@@MrBzungali OMG this is one of the first video on a build for DJI system and u cry ! Are u stupid ? If you want help for another standard analog's build, you could find thousand of them and wiki too. So stop to be a goat !

@@thierry01500 goat? You just said hes "Greatest Of All Time" lmao!!!

[@PeeJay13101980]

A small pointer for future builds: use a larger soldering tip for the larger pads. Spreads the heat quicker and lets the solder flow more easily, with a smaller chance of burning electronics. For the rest: Nice build!!!

[@boisetkai]

Are the prebuilt from you guys already program and ready to use?

[@sultanfpv9206]

pretty sure they are

[@CaptainCarnag]

I can basically use this guide to build the Rotor Riot cinewhoop kit, right?

[@hillbillyfpv3]

Building mine just like this.. Awesome stack too. The XT60 leads and capacitor came pre-soldered on mine, just got to solder the plug on. Been flying analog for 3+ years, really looking forward to the HD experience..

[@lordknighton]

Thank you so much: I followed this with a Kakute f7 non HDV and Tekko32.

[@tl201102]

I's beginer for FPV drone boddy. However, it's an excellent performance instructions, I greatly appreciate it!

[@snarplaya]

I’ve wanted to order one of those kits for weeks now, but no one has had anything in stock. What’s the problem? How long until things are consistently in stock?

[@markb5373]

What's the problem? Corona ?

[@richardjeffries1133]

Still no stock now

[@mortonbeard2240]

I just bought a Eachine Seagull. Looking forward to getting further into hobby.

[@zanniemcrae9958]

Nice video, may I suggest that you power up after soldering motors and prior to soldering anything else (checking for bridges and components works)

[@invisibleaznDJ]

He SHOULD NOT power up anything first...... He should use a volt meter with continuity checking everything first. IE: No beeps THEN power up with smoke stopper...DERP..... Since y'all wanna nit pick everything.

[@FamilyofTech]

which one of those prebuilt FPV drones you guys sell can I use with the DJI FPV goggles and DJI FPV system? Im ready to pull the trigger but not sure which one to get

[@ianlu9962]

do you HAVE to get the dji radio(remote controllers) with the goggles and the transmitter? or do can you use a radio made by another brand.

If you are a beginner watch Joshua Bardwells DJI build, less soldering way more beginner friendly

[@DstruX]

Stan Janssen Agree. Bardwell has some great beginner build vids.

[@jdl8iv6jdl8iv6]

Bought this prebuilt with the goggles and tranny. Amazing! Unbelievably better than any other prebuilt I’ve flown, Hawk, Vortex and very believably better than any piece of $hit I’ve built!

With this build can you use any receiver for any transmitter ??

[@Mr.Noob_T.I]

Fantastic video!!!!! It was exactly what I was looking for... I would like to know if I will be able to do the same with the motion2 control for one hand???

[@mrmidnight32]

Crazy to think of all these awesome products possibly being completely obsolete in a few months depending on the FAA.... I’d really love to build a backup quad and run the DJI HD system but not knowing if this hobby is about to be dead I’m literally just sitting here mentally preparing to have really expensive book shelf and wall decorations to collect dust and be memories of this amazing hobby I use to enjoy.

[@blackmagic10000]

That will never happen dude... Even if the FAA outlaws them, you think people will stop? Just fly safe and you'll be fine. I am just now getting into the hobby =]

[@BobbyBezonka37]

Do I need a Voltage Regulator with the DJI air unit with the Hobbywing Stack if I want to run 6s batteries? If so... can you do a video please

[@OG_Zlog]

If I am not using the DJI remote, do I need to hook up the SBUS wires to the Xrotor Micro? I am using a FRSky remote with the Caddx Vista and the DJI goggles V2.

[@ryannankavill4583]

Do I just use the DJI radio or are there others that are compatible?

[@joebourg9301]

First of all thanks so much for the build video. Got all setup but with props off I tried to arm and it twitches and acts really strange any ideas. Feeling frustrated I thought I had it good to go not sure what to do next or how to troubleshoot

[@MarvinBoydCo]

If you get it prebuilt and tunes is there any assembly required or is it simply take it out of the box and then bind it?

[@timcable]

will gps rescue mode on a switch work with the dji controller? i have this on my taranis analog. switching to dji digital air-unit and am wanting to know whether to keep the taranis or use the dji controller.

[@Fpvpilot928]

when the solder isn't flowing like when soldering the two power leads there, use a little bit of solder flux. Chances are that the flux has all disappeared out of the solder after holding the heat onto it for so long. Another way to introduce flux into the solder is to just add some new solder. You can tell if there's enough flux in the solder by how shiny it is and how well the iron separates from the solder (if the solder sticks to the iron when lifting as opposed to forming a nice shiny bubble of solder releasing easily).

[@techx8075]

So if I use crossfire I would not use the sbus connection and wire the crossfire reciever to the rx and tx of an open uart correct? I wish the air unit was not so large. I don't have a frame big enough to fit it. Call me when they shrink it down some. Lol

[@localcragdirtbag8049]

does this battery come with this? What is the best battery to use for this build??

[@monkeyfpv7866]

Can I get this in analogue, I don’t fancy the expense of another dji transmitter?.

[@AhmadFPV]

If you have the option between dji fpv controller and tango 2 crossfire, which one you would pick?

[@ugandanknuckles5687]

Are the swiches allready setup or do i have to set up the switches in beta flight hopfully not cuz im new to the hobby

[@TheEviling]

What is the black electrical tape you're using? i dont see it on the rotorriot store.

[@flo-ridafpv5713]

Lol at Walmart

[@gravis00]

I’m confused. The dji fav doesn’t control everything? You still need the esc?

[@eternalfpv9461]

Esc has nothing to do with dji. Its what's distributes power to your board and motors

[@MilesDeep]

Would this be usable with an FrSky transmitter?

[@patricksharp3355]

I don't know if you already got the answer but no. You'd need another receiver for your FrSky transmitter along with the air unit connected to the goggles.

[@zqzj]

Why are the arms so wide? Is strength more of a concern than aerodynamics, or is the aerodynamic impact of the arms not significant enough?

[@flo-ridafpv5713]

Yea I think it's cheaper that way, I fly rmrc strix screech frames $29 5mm skinny boomerang arms n fits dji air unit... boom

[@michaelbryant3643]

So I messed up and bought the dji goggles and trx16s receiver :( should I buy the analog adapter for goggles for my first drone? Or just use a DJI air unit ( which I’ll probably break) since I’m totally a beginner? Thanks. Which drone should I buy??

[@joselesh1806]

hi there- can u fly this on controlled air space given that you're using a DJI software?

[@DJDevine]

Now That's a sweet build!

[@sheemarsh4962]

Rotor Riot is the Best! Thank you so much! Marshee here from PH.

[@keanu_lowe]

From P0rnHub?

[@ricanchulo1414]

I want to buy one already pre built and with all the features you have such as the googles, transmitter, and receiver. Not sure what the best configuration for the motors are. I'm new and the only experience I have with this hobby is my eachine 220s. I've flown that twice crashed and the video feed was never the same. So is this durable or if I crash once I'm basically out 1300 hundred dollars

[@emmaiota6143]

Also dose the drone come with the battery if not what battery is it from the roder riot store and if I am spelling the name wrong I am so sorry

[@imager09tube]

Excellent effort and quite in detail. Thank you very much!

[@FAQUERETERMAX]

Is one of the air unit antennas supposed to comunicate with the goggles and the other with the radio? If so, can I remove one of the antennas if I want to use crossfire?

[@RotorRiot]

No you must always use both antennas

[@FAQUERETERMAX]

Thanks for the answer! I'll keep that in mind

[@roidbear5]

You guys should have a 3D print part to hold the Air Unit like the iFlight DC5. I don’t like the idea of holding it down with electrical tape because the tape attracts dirt and dust.

[@RichardGilmoreDronetech]

Mine is 3m down on the bottom plate. It's actually good. THE TPU Parts at the rear help protect the antenna cables.

[@camomaster6316]

Do you have to do the motor mapping on betaflight, or can you just use the hobbywing app instead to change motor direction?

[@JohnFerrier]

Pro-tip: Never put a lighter flame on a capacitor. Lol! They have a liquid electrolyte in them that can boil, causing the capacitor to pop. This is why the top of them have a perforated metal cap. They're designed to have the top blow open like a soda can if they get too hot.

[@richardjeffries1133]

How would you suggest activating the heat shrink then lol

[@JohnFerrier]

@@richardjeffries1133 Heat shrink melts at a lower temperature than what a capacitor's electrolytic boils at. So, you want to use something that has enough heat but not too much. I used to work on wiring harnesses and did this all of the time. We used a heat gun for it. It's basically like a hotter hair dryer but you can get attachments for focusing the air. It's also good to use for surface mounted soldering on circuit boards! So, dual purpose. :)

[@skidicp]

how robust is the air unit to crashes??? would like to know if i need to be scared to crash

[@rham816]

Can you use different goggles and remotes with the DJI air unit? Like fat shark and taranus

[@zqzj]

Only remotes. The DJI VTX signal is proprietary and needs the goggles.

[@NabiL_Lam]

What i have to do if i want to use a different controller Instead of dji controller ?

[@aliaashmohamed2625]

do your store ship to maldives??😊

[@jojobit699]

maybe a stupid question, but is this system compatible with DJI goggles 2 and DJI remote controller 2? it should be because it goes through the air unit (im new to fpv)

[@guyjamar9447]

Is it possible to receive a digital HD video on a screen without having to buy dji goggles? Like a module that outputs the video feed to hdmi or usb C to connect with your phone, pc or any other screen.

[@pedrok60]

Proprietary hardware.

[@emmaiota6143]

I’ve been wanting to buy the TS100 Soldering Iron for a while but I was not shut if it came with the battery and the cord or if you had just buy it on the rorer riot store

does it work, with the googles and controller/radio from the "DJI FPV Combo" kit? (: greetings (:

[@jlduncan321]

Hi, really thinking of not buying a Mavic and building something like this instead due to it being a lot more fun to fly. I just have a couple questions: 1) What sort of flight time do you get out of a battery? 2) Would you buy the DJI controller if you had nothing or would you buy a standard RC controller? Thanks in advance for the advice.
