Hello,

I am building my first racing quad, a ZMR 250 frame. I have a list of parts accumulated so far, and was wondering what other parts you recommend that I need to get flying FPV on a basic monitor screen. My only radio is a very low end Tactic bind and fly radio for r/c planes, so I will need a radio. I only have the parts listed below:

Frame: ZMR 250

 

Motors: RTF Motor 2204 – 2300KV – House PRO Series (4)

 

Esc: 20A LittleBee ESC (4)

 

Flight Controller: Flip 32

 

PDB: Naze 32 CC3D PDB

 

Onboard camera: Mobius 1080

Hi I would recommend a Taranis X9D plus over all others.  The X9D has a ton of features including:

  • haptic feedback
  • large backlit lcd display
  • voice (important for FPV since you are essentially flying blind)
  • high performance gimbals
  • rechargeable battery
  • frsky accst technology built into the radio
  • Open tx firmware (fully configurable, open source, easy to modify & add models)
  • USB Joystick connectivity (for practice with simulators)
  • Side radio sliders

And many more features that make it the best bang for the buck.

 

There are other, cheaper radios out there such as the Turnigy 9x, but you will end up with a sub par radio for FPV, and once you end up hacking a 9x to do all of the things that the Taranis does, you will have ended up spending more on the 9x than the Taranis and you would still have sub-par gimbals.

We offer a shop service to modify the 9x for you, but we recommend that you go with the Taranis, you will be glad that you did.

 

As for receivers, the D4r-II and the X4R-SB are prime choices.  The D4R-II is a popular choice for PPM style input to your flight controller, and the X4R-SB does SBUS for the fastest input and 16 channels on a single wire.  I can’t speak for your flight controller if it handles SBUS without the need for an inverter, but the new Naze32 Rev6 works with SBUS receivers out of the box.
