Awesome great to hear it! Did you add a camera to your UMX Timber?

I have this setup on my UMX Timber. I like mounting it in the canopy. Just cut out the left side of the windscreen area. You have now less drag and a more realistic view..

Interesting! How did you manage the cables and power for the camera? We thought about putting the camera in the windshield, but that would mean you would have to take the entire system on and off whenever you changed batteries.

@InvertedAviatorsRC I used a balance plug to connect to the battery balance lead. Then just pulled power off 1 cell. Now the canopy is removable and powered by the flight battery.

Nice video I have the same plane now, UMX Turbo Timber Evo, i just got it about 3 weeks ago now and i love it. I had bought a Sport Cub S2 i wanted to add FPV to, which i still prob will if dont sell it because i can get a cheap 20$ AIO Cam w/VTX setup thats tiny and is light, because that plane is 1S with the small UMX style PH1.25, not PH2.0, so that with the Brushed motor makes it a great plane to learn on yeah, but its not fast, its gets blown around in wind basically higher than 5mph and if flying it iin even 10mph wind you can get overpowered by the wind if you go up too high with it. So i wanted a small plane to go with my bigger planes, an Apprentice S 1.2M, Carbon Cub S 1.3M, & a Turbo Timber Evo 1.5M. Theyre fun but they require a bigger area to fly, even if they were FPV, but that would help with a Digital VTX like an Air Unit and a long range controller link like Crossfire or ELRS. The UMX Turbo Timber Evo is like the perfect smaller sized plane in my opinion. It has enough weight to it that it doesnt get blown around in lower winds, and it has a 3s or 2s brushless setup with a decent sized motor on it with good power on 3s, i hear run times are even better on the 2s though which stock weight would be plenty for this thing, it flies on 3s its amazing, and the batteries are so tiny and light, i think theyre 22g, and theyre the size of a 9v battery. It uses a JST lead and has a proper balance lead so its an easier choice than the 2s which needs the adaper, so ive only tried 450mah heavier 40g drone batteies that are also super small, but theyre alittle old so theyre only okay for a short peroid of time, i really just wanted to see how the power was and it felt the same really except for vertical pulls up you can do at 3/4 throttle on 3s and still fly up, the 2s needs full throttle to match that speed and seems to lose power alittle quicker but idk how much of that is the battery. Once i get used to this one im definetely going to be adding a nice but light analog setup onto it and i cant wait to fly it like that, this video just makes me want to try it even more lol. Can you post up a build video or just go over the techincal sides of the fpv setup and where you mounted everything and if that changed the wieght balance at all? Did you weight the parts before you put them in, im curious to see how much weight its carrying like this so easily.. Also what are your Take-off Flap settings? What about landing Flaps? Ive tried the take-off flaps once and the plane just shot up into the air after it took up and got speed, i could barely flip the Take-off flaps off in time it was going up so quick i thought it might just stall and fall. So now i dont use them anymore because really you dont need them and i have to get alittle better control of the plane before i play with the Flaps again right now. I also flipped it into AS3X mode from Safe mode at the same time as all this without realiziing so i guess its a good thing i practice in the Sim because Safe mode wasnt even activated to try and help or save me lol.. Anyway cool to see this plane with FPV i look forward to seeing more rc planes and fpv vids!

Yeah we lovet he Evo for its size and 3S power capabilities! For mounting the camera, we tried to put it right over the center of gravity so it minimizes the impact on flight performance. You can find the exact CG in the Evo manual on this site (www.horizonhobby.com/product/umx-turbo-timber-evolution-bnf-basic-with-as3x-and-safe/EFLU8950.html). We didn't weigh the camera before putting it on, but it is light enough where it shouldn't slow down the plane at all. For the flaps, we also followed what the manual says (on page 4), which is: Landing Flaps: 100% FLAP and 30% ELEVATOR Takeoff Flaps: 0% FLAP and 17% ELEVATOR That little elevator mix helps keep the plane from jumping up too quickly like what you're experiencing. We love flipping full flaps on and killing the motor because you can glide super slowly! Let us know if you have any more questions!

Interesting! We utilize hot glue in some of your builds as well! I think having a roll of double sided tape in your tool bag is always handy for flying in the field. Just in case if a crash happens, a quick piece of double sided tape to get your camera back on is simple and easy. Feel free to link the video you’re talking about, because we’re always open for different ideas!

What about the camera video transmitter? What about the fpv googles? How do I know if a particular set of goggles is going to work with a particular camera setup? I was so happy to find this video and finally learn how to do this but by the end I was so let down that you left out so much. Might as well glue a rock to my plane because that is the same end result I would get with this video.

Hello guys, I am a beginner in rc flying and just bought a umx conscendo with a second hand spektrum controller. I have 2 questions: 1: What type of fpv goggles would you recommend that arent too expensive. And what is the other thing I need to connect to goggles to the camera?

@InvertedAviatorsRC

Ай бұрын

Well first off welcome to the hobby!!! We actually have a video that goes over all the different levels/types of goggles, as well as the parts that you need to get them working (kzread.info/dash/bejne/fXWimreCfqfWgco.html). But in short: 1. The Teleporter v5's are pretty cheap and a good beginner set of goggles (www.fatshark.com/product-page/teleporter-v5) 2. Some goggles need an exterrnal receiver module, but those teleporters don't, so big win. You might also need some Omni-directional antennas (amzn.to/3QlDSQU) in order to get some nice range from the goggles. Feel free to reach out here or on our discord for any more questions!!!

Is it possible to bind up your phone (iPhone) to the camera

@InvertedAviatorsRC

I appreciate your patience with the reply! I was doing some research and this is what I found: Apply is really stubborn when it comes to connecting external devices and using the iPhone as a screen. It might be possible, but I haven't figured out how to do it. However there are a few alternatives: - If you have a spare android laying around, it seems like this receiver would connect to it and you could use the screen as a monitor. (amzn.to/3Nbhesy) - If you're looking for a small portable monitor (but not goggles), this little screen is perfect. We've purchased and used this for a few years, and its super nice for quick fixes on the bench or in the field. (amzn.to/47WPZKd)

Hey do you know of a more high quality fpv camera to stick on a timber? That one is a good first one!

@InvertedAviatorsRC

7 ай бұрын

If you want a higher quality camera, you'll have to start looking into a separate camera and vtx system. The beauty of the camera we use is that it's all wrapped up into one, and its super light. If you start going into higher quality cameras (like the RunCam Phoenix 2: amzn.to/3NNy4Ou) and higher quality VTX's (like the TBS Unify: amzn.to/487SSsh) you will for sure get better quality and longer range.

I have suggestion on another fantastic information video that you can do. How do you tune your camera on your plane to get such a quality video?

@InvertedAviatorsRC

The camera itself doesn’t have any time able adjustments, but the goggles that you use might have them. Feel free to check out our goggles video for more information on in-goggle adjustments!

Excellent information here. Set up identical based on your vids. Thanks! However, I am finding that the double sided tape (3M) cannot handle the heat from the temp of the cam even in low wattage setting. After a short time, the cam wants to fall forward from the weight of the lens. Hot glue? Small support? I'll figure it out. Nevertheless.... great content here. Love the idea and putting it to work.

@InvertedAviatorsRC

10 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! If the tape you use is too thin, it can tilt the camera a bit for sure. With the tape that we use, we press the camera into the tape for 10-15 seconds in order to get the camera to set at the right angle. Hot glue and supports would work together, but if you are hot glue-ing directly to the plane it would be a lot harder to move the camera between planes.

would this camera be fine for a sport cub s2?

Great video only have 2 questions. How do you store your airplane in the Box with the camera on it? Will it fit back in the box with the camera on it?

@InvertedAviatorsRC

10 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment! So if you put the camera on the top of the plane (like what we did in the video), the camera will stick about half an inch too high for the box to close. You can either: 1. shave down the styrofoam on the inside to get the camera to fit (what we do) 2. Cut a hole in the top of the box and tape something like these little cups (amzn.to/48L6MRO) to use as protection for the antenna (we've done it and it works, but it makes stacking boxes more annoying) 3. Put the camera on the nose (right in front of the battery hatch's windshield), and that way it'll be much lower 4. Just take the camera off when storing it, because its easy enough to just re-tape it when it is time to fly

Do you think I could add a layer of the coating onto the planes electronics if I were to fly it one water?

@InvertedAviatorsRC

7 ай бұрын

Yes that would for sure help waterproof it! But be careful, the conformal coating is corrosive on foam, so be careful when painting it on. I would also try to avoid getting it in the servos, because it might gunk it up.

If the solution was dry would it still erode the foam?

I don't think so. I painted the camera and the lights on the wings, and if the conformal coating is wet, it eats up the foam. But it hasn't done any more damage since it dried.

No, you have to purchase the goggles separately. A different person asked the very same question, and I responded in our "Hidden Ability of the UMX Turbo Timber Evo" video. The guy's name is "lebleup". But in short: 1. Fatshark Teleporter V5: Budget-friendly, smaller screen, built-in adjustments. 2. Fatshark Dominator V3: Larger 16:9 screen, recording capability, recommend RapidFire receiver module. 3. DJI Goggles V2: Pricey but top-notch picture quality, theater-like experience, extensive adjustments. Requires DJI-to-analog adapter and external receiver for analog cameras. There are links to everything in the reply in that other video! Let me know if there are other questions that you have!

Hey guys, glad I found your channel. I am a drone instructor in a high school in fl. We not only fly drones but also rc planes. We are currently building several planes. We fly FPV drones and we like the idea of a camera on a plane. We tried a GoPro on our trainer high wing but it was too heavy . But how doe we connect or get a signal from the camera you showed to a set of goggles. We have several types of goggles but our fat shark FPV work best with the rotor riot drone we have. Can this camera send a signal to fat shark goggles? Thanks and we watch you videos during class sometimes and are planning on building a cargo plane similar to the on e you built. Thanks

Hey, so if I want to connect straight to the board what adapter would I need? Also, if I want to put it on a bigger plane like your timber x did you connect that to the receiver or something? Or did you attach a battery to it? Thanks!

@InvertedAviatorsRC

8 ай бұрын

For connecting the camera to the board, we linked the adapter in the description with the name “Adapter:”. For the timber X, you can either do: - an external 1S battery (which is pretty easy) - solder the camera wires to a spare servo wire and connect it to an empty channel slot on your receiver. That way it will receive power from the receiver - in case you don’t have any extra channel slots on your receiver and you don’t want an external battery, you can splice an existing servo wire (that’s going to the aileron for example) and connect the red camera wire to the red servo wire, and likewise black to black. That way you can get power through that servo wire through the receiver. Let us know if you have any more questions!

You happen to have the color code for wiring the adapter. Is it red to red, yellow to black??

@InvertedAviatorsRC

Yep! Red goes to red, and then the black of the camera goes to the yellow of the adapter. You can also double check with a multimeter to make sure you don’t have conductivity between power and ground before plugging in a battery
