Now on to the photos of the whole rig.....
Everything packed up in its case
This is how its all laid out in the case.
The lid of the case with the Video Rx, antenna and monitor.
The Video Rx antenna is mounted by pushing the little dowel it sits on into the lock hole in the lid.
The Taranis, Gimbal with my vibration damper made from StratusProductions' design and the two slight batteries.
The copter out but still folded up.
The goggles, cables and landing gear left in the case.
The landing gear assembled.
The copter unfolded with GPS antenna still down.
GPS antenna now standing up.
The underside with the video Tx and landing gear booms.
Gimbal and camera now mounted on the front.
Battery now strapped to the back boom to balance the gimbal.
Ready for take off.
Base station getting a clear picture.
Goggle plugged in to base station.
Which ever battery isn't flying the aircraft can be used to power the base station as it doesn't take much power at all. The red switch turns on the main power for the goggles and video Rx and the blue one turns on the screen because I only use that when I've got someone else to watch it.
The very excellent DYS 3-axis gimbal doing its thing.
And there you have it. My custom build Y6 Naza tricopter for FPV. With this set up I get about 8.5 minutes of flight with about 25%-30% left in the battery and its its not powering the Video Rx and with a lighter two axis gimbal I get 9.5 minutes with the same safety margin on the battery.
