7 inch Long Range FPV Quad Build: Part 1

I finally got around to putting this drone together and it was quite the adventure. This video just includes the base platform build, so only the necessities to get a working FPV Quad: frame, motors, ESC, flight controller, camera, VTX, and receiver. This isn't a tutorial video by any means, but I do share some tips and tricks along the way. If you are new to FPV and are looking for good resources, I highly recommend Joshua Bardwell's videos, as well as Oscar Liang's incredibly in-depth blog style tutorials. In the next episode I will be setting the quad up in Betaflight, reflashing the ESCs to Bluejay, as well as installing a couple of add-ons, including RGB LEDs for the arms as well as a battery backed buzzer. I will also address a few hiccups that I found with the video system, and a fascinating discovery I made about analog video in general... This is also the first video I made using my new HD Digital Microscope, and the footage came out really impressive, I will definitely be using it a lot more in future videos. It is an Andonstar AD210, and while this is not sponsored, I was really impressed with the value proposition of this thing, at only around $90-100 (I got mine for $70 on a black friday sale). I only wish I got the model with HDMI out, though I may try to hack that back into my unit in a future video... Feel free to ask me questions in the comments, I will certainly read them all. Thank you so much for watching!
