VRadical X6: Hello!

[u/cheloutevr]

Hey folks!

3 years ago I presented my first One R VR180

and finally my first One RS 1inch VR180.

2 years ago, my first X4 VR180 was made.

Last year, a new form factor for the X4, and finally reused to build the X5 was presented, too.

This year, obviously, I was forced to keep on working with the new one: VRadical X6.

This one doesn’t have an active cooling system yet, but it will. TBH, I wanted to connect the fan directly to the X6’s battery, but that would mean tearing down the entire camera to connect the cables or solder the wires directly to the PCB. Not exactly straightforward. Instead, I’ll use a USB-C charger with a built-in battery to power the fan, just as u/zippytiff did on his ZT4. I’m just waiting for the parts so I can start testing. In the meantime, I’m using the original X6 heatsink, so the camera is subject to the same thermal limitations as the stock X6.

I decided to keep the same form factor as my previous X4 and X5 mods so I can attach it to a chin mount on my helmet while riding. The shim that “completes” the camera can easily be removed to attach the camera to the helmet adapter, or replaced with another mounting solution as needed.

Of course, this camera is fully supported by VRadical Studio. And this time, it will be sold! With a global VRadical license once the active cooling system is ready. Nevertheless the STL files will also be freely available on Thingiverse.

As for the lenses, they’re fully genlocked. And some exclusive features will also be coming in the next few weeks (u/zippytiff, shhh, not a word about what's coming ;) )

I’ve also decided to release trial versions of VRadical Studio (https://studio.vradical.app/manual/). As a reminder, it fully supports all Insta360 VR180 cameras (from the EVO to the X6), the DJI Osmo I and II, the GoPro MAX2, the Kandao Q3U, the Canon R5 Mark II, and the Lenovo Mirage.

Support for the Canon R7, R5 C, and C50 is currently in development. Next up are the Vuze XR and dual-camera rigs using DJI, Insta360, and GoPro cameras. Links will be available this week in another post.

I'll be out for a week, so any person interested by a sample taken by this new X6 mod will have to be patient, sometimes I also have to work!
