Hey there! When you want to learn more about FPV drone and build your own drone yourself, then you must understand the parts of FPV drone. There are three main categories of parts: the flight system, the power system, and the FPV system. The flight system includes motors, propellers, electronic speed controllers (ESCs), a flight controller, and a radio receiver. The power system consists of a battery and a power distribution board. This guide will explain in detail what makes up a FPV drone and exactly what the parts are. Without a doubt, beginners can absolutely build FPV drones even without any experience! If you want to build one and are unsure about how to choose from so many parts for FPV drone, you'll understand it all after watching this video: How to Choose FPV Drone Parts. When selecting a frame, ensure the mounting holes match those of the flight controller. Pay attention to the KV value of the motor and choose the appropriate power according to your needs. When choosing an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC), make sure its maximum current rating is higher than that of the motor. Select the appropriate flight controller (FC) and video transmission equipment (VTX)…

Introduction: Flying FPV drones is an exhilarating hobby, offering a unique perspective and thrilling experience. However, the high speeds and complex maneuvers that make FPV flying so exciting also increase the risk of damage to the drone. Understanding which parts are most susceptible to damage and how to protect them is crucial for maintaining the longevity and performance of your drone. This article delves into the components of an FPV drone most likely to break and provides safety tips to help protect your investment. Vulnerable Parts: Propellers, motors, frame arms, and antennas are prone to damage in FPV drones. Propellers: Most susceptible to breakage upon impact, but inexpensive and easy to replace. Motors: High-speed flights strain motors, especially after crashes, but durable MEPS motors offer better resilience. Frame Arms: Carbon fiber arms bear crash impacts; separate arm designs allow easier replacement. Antennas: Critical for signal transmission, prone to breaking or disconnection during crashes; secure mounting is essential. Check for Short Circuits: Use a multimeter before first flight to detect potential short circuits, preventing damage to flight controller or ESC. Secure Wires: Fasten all wires securely during assembly to avoid propeller contact and potential damage during crashes. Delay Propeller Mounting: Complete…

Introduction With the price increases that have occurred in recent years and continue to persist, building an affordable drone has become increasingly challenging, but not impossible. In this guide, I will list some websites where you can purchase budget-friendly components. Additionally, I will provide two examples of cost-effective builds, one for freestyle and one for cinematic drones. It's important to note that when constructing a drone, it's essential to have a clear understanding of the frame on which you'll be mounting the electronics. This helps you determine the available hole patterns for mounting and select components that are compatible with these measurements. Furthermore, you should possess the skills for soldering/desoldering, know how to connect various components, and be capable of configuring the system once it's assembled. In this brief article, however, as mentioned earlier, I will solely focus on listing the components for two budget-friendly builds. Websites And Economic Fpv Drone Components Let's start by listing the websites where you can purchase materials for our budget-friendly build. Unfortunately, there are fewer sites with excellent prices, but fortunately, there are still some available. For materials for a budget build, you should consider purchasing from the following sites: Mepsking.com: This site offers…

The most underrated FPV component, in my opinion, is the drone antenna. However, wireless communication between the radio and radio receiver, or the video transmitter and video receiver, would not even be imaginable without antennas. I'll show you how to select the ideal one for your FPV drones in this article. What is an FPV Antenna? An FPV antenna is necessary for all radio equipment to operate. Your smartphone, in case you were unaware, also contains many antennae. A component used to transform electrical video signals into radio signals and broadcast the signal is an FPV antenna. Additionally, it takes in airborne radio signals and changes them back into electrical visual signals. Both the FPV video transmitter and video receiver have FPV antenna mounted. Both VTX and VRX cannot function effectively without antennas. The active element, coaxial cable, and connector are the three components that make up an FPV antenna. The active element is the essential element for radio transmission and reception; a connector is necessary to connect your VTX or VRX; whereas the coaxial cable only connects the two. How Does an Antenna Work? A transmitter antenna and a receiver antenna are required for anything wireless. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless…
