Product Description

Includes 2 x Lithium Batteries !

If you ever wanted a small personal 720 line video recorder with a single button on/record cabled trigger ; or an FPV recorder that records right thru static without stopping ; or an FPV recorder for SDHC cards that can record MPEG4 .avi files with great quality at a reasonable price ; one that comes standard with a 2nd Lithium battery standard - Has a built in colour 2.5" TFT LCD screen - Records video and ground station audio - Then the CARBONBird® Black-Box FPV Flight recorder is worth a look - Based at your Ground Station it records those memorable flights of your FPV Scarab or FPV aeroplane or any onboard FPV arriving at the ground station  - without any drama.  

You may be thinking you dont need a ground station recorder because you are recording live on the aircraft - well consider this - if your aircraft goes down - even in close 100-200 or 300m LOS line-of-sight you may never find the aircraft (long grass - bushes or trees) or the GoPro and the HD Vision (or other expensive camera onboard) because you really need to get the last frame shots for a landmark (from the black Box recorder) or to read the GPS co-ordinates fom an OSD - trust me - ground station recorder will pay for itself many times over!

  • Requires soldering skills if a uBEC is to be fitted to the 5v line input - you will have to cut away the existing plug and solder on the female connector (supplied)
  • Requires care - Needs to be kept dry, free of dirt, salt and protected from direct UV or sunlight. Cannot be dropped.  This is not a glass screen iPhone - Screen requires protection from sharp or abrasive objects - rubbing or abuse.  


The upper left side shows 'live" vision  recorded during the flight - transmitted to the ground and recorded by the FPV Blackbox - the data is recorded is visual data (if you have OSD)  - not text - if the Scarab meets with mis-adventure - this footage can be used to note the last known GPS (or landmarks if no OSD) and locate the aircraft and camera (in very rugged terrain) The PARIS would be set to RTH Return-to-Home but whilst out of range of the RC radio often still sends video footage - After landing the Pilot revoers the GoPro Hero HD footage Main section of the screen centre/right.

Tips

  • Information on assembling a kit can be gained by looking at the photos on the product page itself. If you stuck on an advanced kit then first read the Quad Noobs guide
  • MultiCopters should hover at 50% throttle and fly for 10-15 mins.
  • Balance all props - vibration causes junk sensors data and gello in video - remove the SOURCE of the vibration by balancing
  • Use a quality prop balancer(Du-Bro 499 Tru-Spin Prop Balancer) statically; then run them individually to check they are centred true and the tipshave the same path; any vibration will reduce the effectiveness of the Wii gyro or anyother gyro.
  • Attach any IMU or sensors such as Sirius™, NAZA or WookM with vibration isolation gel - Board with sensors solder to directly are just cheapo clones - commercial quality IMU use isolation vibration materials
  • Keep your PROPS OFF - not installed - until you are fully conversant/understand in full the functions of your Tx in full including TRAV (end Points), the arm and disarm procedures - realise that for a noob skiping or out-of-order set-up steps or moving sticks, or even static - PROPS may start at anytime without warning. Never install props prior to calibration of the ESC and testing the gyro orientation, and arm/disarm testing of the board - YOU are responsible - make sure your actions and your Copter is safe - remove the prop -remove the risk.
  • Always maiden on default PIDs' - If the copter is not almost perfect on default PID's then DO NOT go straight to altering the PID's! Most of the problems you will face as a noob will be caused by making wild assumptions or following myths from forums - fly on default PIDs first - balance your props - make sure your ESC are calibrated and synchronized.
  • Dont be fooled by forum claims of kirby flashed ESCs - this software will melt your ESCs and give short flights - there is a lot of bad info on forums

Safety in Australian Skies

  • Keep more than 30m from persons,choose an empty sports field for your first flights
  • Do not fly near pets, houses or cars
  • Never fly within 3nm of an airfield or above 400ft
  • Never install your props until after the Multicopter is fully tested and 100% correct without props. Engines can start suddenly and without warning IF YOU FAIL to understand how they work or skip any steps.
  • Set your Tx/Rx binding to low throttle 1/4 position so that if the link is lost the copter will descend slowly.
  • Always keep your Copter in line of sight for one pilot ops - FPV is only legal in AU with a buddy on a buddybox - 2 person FPV is 100% legal using the buddybox system below 400'.  See CASA Part 101 Regs
  • RC Flying is a privilege - please enjoy it.  Don't show off and don't get over confident
  • Home movies are fine, but in Australia professional paid photography or videos from an RC aircraft requires CASA Part 101 compliance, including exams and approved ops manuals and pilot competency tests by CASA official which will cost several thousand up front.
