They should be forward on top and backward on the bottom for a push/pull configuration. While the GoPro cage is upright, the dampers are upside down. The roll axis on my build is 180 degrees wrong and should be flipped around. All orange seems to be a good option too. There are reports of vibrations with the standard setup. However, this might change as the dampers need to be fine tuned. For the time being I chose the standard red and orange damper configuration. Otherwise the ends of the zip-ties collided with other parts, preventing the gimbal from turning freely.

The cables are attached with zip ties, which have to be attached exactly how the video shows. Two tiny little grub screws are used to hold the tilt motor. The small electronic board was a little bit too big, but after grinding the board on two ends by fractions of a millimeter it fit snugly into the holder. The small screws are for the metal parts and some of the short bigger ones (from a separate bag) are for the gimbal motors. I’ve started with the gimbal assembly, a big puzzle with motors, screws and aluminum parts.

Soldering iron, screwdrivers, zip ties, loctite 222 (the purple one).

Let’s start! After Unboxing I gathered all the necessary resources such as: build Quadcopter TBS Discovery Pro Team BlackSheep In the next part of the build log I will set up the Taranis RC radio and NAZA flight controller. I finished the ‘mechanical’ part of the build by adding more electronics, such as the video transmitter with the 5.8GHz cloverleaf antenna on the front right arm and the FrSky RC receiver X8R in the back on top. Wow, it looked cool! Fully assembled Discovery Pro The result of this is a hysterically spinning gimbal, rotating constantly as if were fully drunk. After fixing the gimbal orientation and connecting the motors into the correct pitch/roll connector everything was OK. The crossed cables lead to a second mistake: mixed up roll and pitch motors. It took me until after the first power-up to realize this. But as it turned out later, I had misassembled the roll axis by 180 degrees, so the pitch motor facing the fpv camera instead of away from it. I had to cross them to reach the appropriate connectors on the frame, which seemed a bit like a design flaw. Oooops!Īt this point of the build I realized for the first time that something was a bit strange with the gimbal cables. The tilt motor should face the other direction. The last piece I screwed on was the gimbal and it slides from the front.

During the build I got to appreciate zip-ties for fixing all sorts of things, such as the electronic speed controllers (ESCs) onto the arms and the flight camera to the frame. All the electronics and wiring is integrated into the frame and aside from the gimbal and controller, there are only a few cables connecting to individual parts. It’s relatively straight forward to mount the four arms and red spacers to the bottom plate and then close up the sandwich with the top pcb plate.

But now, back to the Discovery Pro.Īfter assembling the gimbal and motors and soldering the bottom plate in the TBS Discovery Pro build part 1, I put all the pieces together. It got a bit delayed because I really wanted to show you the Leistkamm Video before finishing my second quadcopter. This is part 2 of the epic TBS Discovery Pro build.
