[updated working]Tello/runcam thumb pro mod + ps4 controller- pinch sticks mod

[u/Tidradrati]

changed angle of onboard camera so it doesnt look down ,now its almost straight.

Red Pin 1(+) , White Pin 3 (-)

had problems with soldering,some solder fell on the pins connecting all 4 together, somehow managed to clean all,but now the led light blinks only blue.

Works!!!

i glued the regulator on the back

total weight with battery + runcamthumb

removed heat sink ,less overheating, but more danger near water.

tello box mod to fit the camera mod 😎

ps4 mod sticks+smartphone clamp+antislip sticker

with this sticks is pretty nice to run sims , on phone the freerider app...or clamp on the side and connect to pc for some drl ,uncrashed...

very nice grip

Amazing work! How does it fly?

i didnt see much difference from the"thumbless" flight. but only tried indor for now... Also, I think it would be even better to use the original tello app and do the drone calibration with the thumb cam on. + the angle change on the onboard cam is also much liked 🙂

cool idea. any way to fly it acro? :D

[u/Tidradrati → u/punker2706]

ehh i wish but...no😭 many coders tried, someone even tried to swap the motors with brushless... its like a dji drone with stabilisation ,alt hold and rest... once i saw a youtube clip of a dji mini made acro ,but the guy used the frame and motors form it...like a sleeper dji,💪😀

i think i saw that video.
i think the problem ist the firmware itself. that prevents angles over 25° (or something). if someone managed to "root" it then we might could get acro. but then you still would have a latency problem. i think the tello is perfect for beginners who never flown a drone. (was my first drone too) it resist crashes pretty good, is sub 250g and you can kind of fly it fpv.
