Anyone in the NW with the DJI FPV Kit?

Racing Quads, Self-builds & FPV

That’s what I thought! :rofl: -

RSSI would be great :+1:

I’ll bet v2 of the Air unit has GPS.

Well - as a quick update - the install is on pause at the mo - the Air Unit won’t stay on for more than 30s, it’s overheating - the temperature is incredible - It’s still in 25mW mode with the 4 channels. Even with a high speed fan pointed right at it - it won’t stay on! Aaaargh the wait is killing me! Just waiting for UnmannedUAV to get back to me :+1:

Yea definitely something wrong if it’s getting that hot. Got a pic of the wiring?

24

The temperature is unreal!

I took it off the quad - so I could do some bench testing - There was only 4 wires to connect, (as I’m sure you know :wink: :+1: )

Power was across the power pads on the ESC, (with a capacitor already in place), and the TX & RX were connected to UART 3. It worked fine - auto starting the recording when I armed - it just wouldn’t stay connected for more than a minute - I only noticed it was not staying on yesterday :frowning: .

I’ve tried it with a 2s, 3s and 4s - same result. And that’s with me using a fan to try and cool it down. :man_shrugging:

It can’t be right - I knew it got hot in use but not so hot I can’t touch it!

And obviously - the Antennae were attached properly :+1:

I meant Unmanned Tech Shop :man_facepalming:

Well, after not hearing anything from the seller, I’ve plugged it all back together - even with a fan blowing directly on the air unit it won’t stay on for more than 30-40 seconds - and it has the
‘Low-Power mode. Unable to record videos’ message on the screen - which according to DJI mean it’s overheating. This is still in CE mode :man_facepalming:

That’s concerning for anyone looking to upgrade to digital, not there yet myself but no many are, the thought of switching out so many quads and other parts is too daunting…:grin:
