Here's the bottom with the ar drone 2.0 main board and nav board with cameras and gps navistick and the external antenna mod done to it. My custom camera mount is made of a hair clipper extension...number 5 I think...lol

I got the green digital camo decal on ebay for $7. The guy said he forgot to set a reserve price, his loss is my gain. I haven't seen another decal set that covers as much of the phantom as this one did. I didn't even use all the pieces because it was actually for a vision and I have the fc40. It still worked out good for the price and it covers the remote too so that was a bonus

 

[IflyinWY]

You're colorful additions look really cool. but I'm somewhat confused, what the heck is hanging on the belly of your bird?

 

[dtitus6297]

To get a cheap telemetry system I mounted the internal pcb boards and cameras from an ar drone 2.0 drone. The fpv is less laggy than the fc40 camera and it automatically overlays the battery voltage and percent, altitude, distance, it shows a gps map view of you and your drone....and more. The whole mod only cost about $80 cause I bought a used broken ar drone off ebay. I upgraded the internal wifi antenna for it also to a external dipole antenna and using a range extender and a wifi amplifier 2500mw I get good fpv up to 1500 meters or so

Ok fine, I've given up on calling it a brain, from now on I shall call it "The Brian", because my freaking thinking machine just can't keep up with you kids. I say that in the nicest way.

****,
well, keep throwing it out there. I need all the help I can get.

 

[dtitus6297]

The camera is sticking out front and that is a sonar sensor with the 2 metal circles. The rest is just antennas and circuit boards

 

[IflyinWY]

HuH?

 

[dtitus6297]

Sonar is for getting the altitude reading
