Mini-H quad BIN

One of the great things about the Mini-H quad,  with its slender dimentions it travels easy.  the other day I stuffed it in my backpack.  But for everyday use I really wanted something easier and more utilitarian.  Today I found a cool case at Blick art,   the 17inch Art Bin quick look case.

Backpacking with my quad

One of the great advantages of the Mini-H quad is that it backpacks easily.  this weekend I refined my technique a little and stuffed it in my old crumbler camera back and took it for a hike.

BOOST your power - Impress your girlfriend..?

My favorite pastime is proximity FPV, thats flying low-lever buzzing stuff and zig-zagging in the forest... yahoooo... Good clean fun.   until you run out of control coverage and crash into something.

So I have been wondering if I could stick a Dragon-Link on my favorite Devo6 radio... answer was no..

But it turns out things are not as complicated as it seems,  because your 2.4G radio system is living in the same spectrum as WiFi routers..   Seems you can take the 2.4G output and simply plug it into a WiFi Antenna booster..  

And 3D Robotics sell a fine $55 WiFi booster for exactly this.

Hubsan X4 FPV 107D - the new king of Micro FPV ?

Hubsan have been releasing a whole string of little X4 multirotors the last year.  

First they released a straight microrotor, next they added a camera to that, make that a couple of revisions of the camera equipped X4.   in October they released the latest revision of the X4 FPV,  the h107D (the 4th micro X?)

BlackOut Mini-H spin - See it up CLOSE

Spin of my Blackout Mini-H quad. 

It really is one thing to know how small it is, and a totally different thing seeing it,  I did a 360 spin and you can see all the details.

Note my Mini-H is not stock,  I modified the front with a 3D printed replacement for the standard posts, so that I could get enough space to mount a Wide-Angle Mobius  camera in the front.  The Mobius is mounted in a printed "clip" which permit easy slide in-out.  the clip is suspended with 5mm thick pieces of sorbothane which completely remove jello from the Mobius video.

I added a new video from Griffith Park as well.

Having fun with my new Blackout Mini-H quad

 

OK its been slow coming,  Im still getting used to how this little quad flies, but gotta say, it is a incredible fun to fly, responsive and picks up speed quickly.
