![]() ![]() Sorry for the silence, but life it's not always easy. That the Discovery Pro does not allow, because the gimbal is unremovable. The advantage of this system, I unscrew a screw and two cables unplugged, gimbal power supply and servo wire gimbal, and I can remove the gimbal to go for a real FPV flight. Then I printed my adaptation in 3d printing. I wanted to have a system in line with the Discovery, so I got started in the measurement and design to allow this. Here is my first test, I posted there some time.Ĭonsidering the quality of the nacelle (plug & play), I decided to keep it and modify it to TBS. ![]() So I bought a cheap gimbal for testing, this: I had to make a well-considered simple and removable system. In the next part of the build log I will set up the Taranis RC radio and NAZA flight controller.I have a TBS Discovery for some time now, very good quad.īut when I saw arriving Discovery Pro I said I want it!

TBS DISCOVERY PRO Timeline: PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: 23rd June, 2013. ![]() I finished the ‘mechanical’ part of the build by adding more electronics, such as the video transmitter with the 5.8GHz cloverleaf antenna on the front right arm and the FrSky RC receiver X8R in the back on top. TBS Discovery PRO Gimbal Calibration Bench (EVY68UU5P) by Durahl on Shapeways. Wow, it looked cool! Fully assembled Discovery Pro The TBS CORE or the Gimbal is shutting down after a few minutes POTENTIAL PROBLEM: Overpowered video transmitter The TBS CORE that is pre-installed on the TBS DISCOVERY PRO is limited in the amount of power it can sup. ![]() The result of this is a hysterically spinning gimbal, rotating constantly as if were fully drunk. After fixing the gimbal orientation and connecting the motors into the correct pitch/roll connector everything was OK. The crossed cables lead to a second mistake: mixed up roll and pitch motors. It took me until after the first power-up to realize this. But as it turned out later, I had misassembled the roll axis by 180 degrees, so the pitch motor facing the fpv camera instead of away from it. I had to cross them to reach the appropriate connectors on the frame, which seemed a bit like a design flaw. Oooops!Īt this point of the build I realized for the first time that something was a bit strange with the gimbal cables. Swapped out the JR9503/Spektrum Radio gear for a Turnigy TH9x with ER9x Firmware, a FrSky module and FrSky V8FRII RX. Swapped out the 99.95 HK video camera for a SC2000 Sony SuperHAD for 45.99. The tilt motor should face the other direction. This saves power, a little weight and doesn't swamp the GPS. Control 19 Directional flight 19 Discovery, TBS 93 DIYDIOneS 11 DJI 11, 42.

During the build I got to appreciate zip-ties for fixing all sorts of things, such as the electronic speed controllers (ESCs) onto the arms and the flight camera to the frame. All the electronics and wiring is integrated into the frame and aside from the gimbal and controller, there are only a few cables connecting to individual parts. It’s relatively straight forward to mount the four arms and red spacers to the bottom plate and then close up the sandwich with the top pcb plate. But now, back to the Discovery Pro.Īfter assembling the gimbal and motors and soldering the bottom plate in the TBS Discovery Pro build part 1, I put all the pieces together. It got a bit delayed because I really wanted to show you the Leistkamm Video before finishing my second quadcopter. This is part 2 of the epic TBS Discovery Pro build. ![]()
