Well, the anti-jello solution test hasn´t gone as expected. I´m not quite sure about what has happened, but I had a really bad accident and the quadcopter resulted seriously damaged.
As you can see in the video, there are three moments when the quadcopter bends quickly to the right. Once right after taking off and crash for the first time, another one with no consequences, and a third one before crashing for the second time.
After the last crash, the temperature of the rear right motor was significantly higher. Along with the weird bending to the right side, makes me think on a motor failure. Probably one of the wires connected to the ESC, maybe the ESC itself...? I don´t think this was due to a Naza issue or a bad calibration, but maybe a gimbal problem has something to do too? (at minute 1:10, the front of the quad appears on the top of the screen while the camera is bent to the right...)
I couldn´t test long the shutter effect with the ND filter, but as I can see in the video, there is no jello, but some vibrations still remain. The crash ended up with:
Three broken propellers
Two broken legs
One motor wire broken
Two peeled wires
A gimbal malfunction
Let´s grab the tools, some patience, and head off to the garage!
I´ve been interested in acquire a new frame to replace the Whirlwind FY450, or as a new quad for maybe using it just for FPV. I had some recommendations, and these frames are the winners:
hoverthings
quav 500/400
iconic-FPV
At the end I decide to buy the Iconic-x FPV with foldable arms, nice when you have to pack so it doesn´t need to much room. I´ve just assembled the frame but I haven´t done anything else with it yet. I hope I can build the quad soon! The quality of the frame is just perfect and nice.
Comparing the Iconic-x FPV with my current Whirlwind FY450, they are quite similar in size, but the Iconic has much more room for all the electronics.
These are some specs:
New FOLDABLE design layout,
Pure Rubber Vibration mounts seperating the 2 levels of the frame.
Custom 6061 Aluminum CNC milled arms
45mm Distro board ( removable)
Deans style plug included
8"-10" Prop choices
Purple Hex cap screws for top plate support
velcro straps for mounting battery and gopro
Here you can see some interesting videos about how to assemble it and other stuff about this frame.
