I'm Keith, and this is my channel! I'm and avid R/C enthusiast, having started flying model planes around 1996, and hobby class R/C cars a few years before that. I started this channel in 2008, back when I was still doing a fair bit of LOS R/C flying, and getting into FPV as well. The early content consists of that, as well as some ATV and Motorcycle stuff too, with the occasional scale truck video thrown in for good measure. (I was co-owner of Scale 4x4 R/C as well) As I got more heavily involved in FPV flying, it slowly but surely took over the channel, so that's pretty much all you'll find here as far as any new content goes. ;) I fly mostly fixed wing planes, though I have spent some time with multirotors too. My first tricopter flew using mixes and helicopter gyros, before there were any flight controllers! I work with a few different companies to do product reviews from time to time.

Esky Mini Eyas II Review, A plane for beginners!
Great job m8, looked really nice....Can you smooth out the panning motion using servo slow in Edge TX?....🤔🤔😏🇬🇧
Love to see a 3d nose design with the new caddx gimbal setup on this one Keith.
Problem is, they have a pretty short range and short flying time compared to the proper DJI drones.
That has to be a joke right? lol
What do you use for mpunting the camera on the servo?
SHOW SHOW SHOW
Nice gimbal. I almost ordered one until I found out the DJI O3 doesn't fit.
Is it possible to fine tuning the gimbal's movement? Watching the on-board video, the camera moves too suddenly, disturbingly...
Awesome video. Always wanted to do a setup like this. Is head tracking available if you use DJI Goggles 2 or only Walksnail?
Superb !!!
amazing :))
You mentioned at about 17:00 that other planes you have are more efficient in terms of watts/per mile. Unfortunately, I can't really understand what you said. Can you write that ?
In my copter FC (Speedybee F7 V3) I got 2 free UART left, can I connect the gimbal to one of the free UART to controll it ? (Did not find anything on the Caddx page at this date so far)
Hi there Bonafide. It's been quite a bit since I've messed around with R/C flying, and FPV. I still have all my aircraft, but very dated electronics. I have the Eagletree Vector FC, which in my research, isn't supported anymore. I would like to re set up at least 2 of my aircraft to fly again. One is an EyeFly Black Manta Quad, and the other is a Skyhunter. I would appreciate any advice... starting from scratch. Thank you.
I'll jump in and recommend for fixed wing a Matek flight controller like F405-Wing V2 and Inav 7.
Even better deal are the speedy bee f405, all the functionality plus wireless configuration
Interesting regarding the jitter you are getting. It sounds exactly the same as Im getting on the HEQ gport gimbal. As you say, without input it dosent happen. I thought it may be something in PWM signal so I connected a servo on the same output and it was rock solid. Makes we wonder if there are common components/firmware in this and the gport. Look carefully and you can see the jitter. Im also getting terrible level horizon drift on the gport. ua-cam.com/users/shortsNgLc_4MHgZo?si=Lfcn_hI8_7gmd8iT
Where do you get the pitot tube from? And what is the black circular thing mid plane?
Amazing flying and footage, Keith!!! 😃 It looks amazing! Thanks for the review!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Pwm input with 4 cables? Are we living in 1980 ????
Nice video! Love the Gimbal,, I need one asap! :P Can you share the 3D tray you made to put everything on? Thanks!
Yep, uploaded here! lol www.thingiverse.com/thing:6678725
@@bonafidepirateThanks 😊
is this compatible with Motionsic Tally-ho 2?
Esto es lo que necesitamos para el Fpv y que de resultados satisfactorios .Ya estaba bien de tanto ocultismo.🤜🤛👌👌👍
Do you find you can adapt quickly to the stabilisation for landing etc or does it take a while to get rhe hang of it, i know you can see the nose of the aircraft which must help alot.
It was a little disorienting flying with the gimbal in stabilized modes at first, but I got used to it after a few flights. It's easy flying in cruise or something like that where the FC does all the hard work... lol
Thats a great little gimbal way better than the one i got from banggood 6 years ago for about £50 haha
Great video. I wonder if head tracking through the uart will resolve the jitter once they get that released
How do you control the gimbal?
I just ordered one through your link - it made the price about 15 cheaper, I hope you get a lil bit from them too, cheers again. oh and also keen on stl file please.
Thanks! It is an affiliate link so I get credit for it... lol Here's the STL for the printed tray - www.thingiverse.com/thing:6678725

Will it take a DJI O3 air unit caméra ??? Nice vidéo 😎🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
19mm cameras. It comes with the camera backing plate attached
nice, only vid on youtube, saw it here first!! thanks
caddex for the win. just crushing it. so much cool stuff. Suck it dji
I love new tech from caddx! Amazing quality and view, great explanation ❤❤
Thanks for the video. How do you overlay your OSD on the video in this digital system? I have dji airunit and the same process might work for me . Cheers
I use a tool from avsaase - github.com/avsaase/walksnail-osd-tool It's made for Walksnail. I don't know if there's anything similar for DJI.
No disrespect intended, but would you please take this video on a bit more challenging conditions... weather was to darn good!!
How does the camera mount? Will it take a DJI V1 camera and will the cable work?
It's probably incompatible, Andy. But I believe Lee showed a gimbal that is!
This is amazing! I’d love to attach an analog cam for FPV and then a Runcam thumb pro for the 4k
Can you describe you paired (the wiring) BOTH a 4k Moonlight VTX/DVR board with the standard V1 VTX at 1:46? Edit - found it - wasn't aware there was a separate video board.
It's the "stand alone" Moonlight DVR that doesn't come with a VTX, and is meant to be used with a VTX you already have. Check this, the "Moonlight Camera" option. caddxfpv.com/products/walksnail-moonlight-kit?variant=48665283166510&aff=59
Love to have the .stl for the gimbal tray. :)
Sure thing! I'll upload it in a bit, remind me of I forget! lol
Uploaded here - www.thingiverse.com/thing:6678725 I included two, one with 20x20mm mounting for the VTX, the other with 25x25mm

@@bonafidepirate Thank you so much. It will be put to work. :)
Awesome gimbal! Top notch video and setup too!
this 4k recording is amazing .. gimbal too but damn with this lighting it is cinematic!
Yep, I was impressed too... lol Having the stable image with the gimbal lets the video quality really show through. It makes a nice setup pairing the Moonlight with the Gimbal.
@@bonafidepirateplus you get the full resolution as there's no need for GF zooming
All this tech coming out, Fun stuff!!!! What a time to be alive!!!!!
Definitely! I've always liked learning new things and digging into new tech, and there seems to be no shortage of that lately... lol
Smmmoooooth landing. Deer are cute to watch. Do you have any special gear to keep your Rx antenna's pointed at the aircraft?
Nice morninr video. Do you have a video on how to overlay the OSD to the output video?
Nice 'dawn' flight deer patrol. It looked like the ground fog was messing with you hiding behind your antenna beam to the north side of the bayou. (4:20, 16:30) A side effect of that north wind. Too bad there is not an HD camera switcher option like is common with analog cameras. Such could allow mounting a second camera with a telephoto lens zoomed in on the centred of the default walksnail lens view. An eagle-eye for the Eagle.
How are you getting the large degree of pan on the camera? I have seen some servos say 180 deg, but you have to give 500 to 2500 to get that. I'm using ELRS and EdgeTX and I can enable extended limits, but still don't get that much range.
The servo I'm using is either 270 or 300 degrees, I forget which, and use some of both on various planes... lol To get that range though, they also need 500-2500uS signal. Even the extended range in OpenTX or EdgeTX won't give you that much. You can get it with Inav and Ardupilot though, where you set up the endpoints for the outputs.
That vegetation is probably water chestnut. I work for a company that uses drones to spray stuff like that as well as crop dusting and other invasive species
It's "hyacinth", I couldn't remember the name at the time... lol www.lsuagcenter.com/topics/environment/invasive%20species/water-hyacinth/issue Spraying with a drone sounds fun! lol
@bonafidepirate oh I've never heard of that. We operate in the northeast mainly New York and Pennsylvania. Yeah it's a pretty cool gig we do some pretty unique jobs with them. Our biggest will lift 186lbs
Great early morning flight m8....Enjoyed that cold still air...That wind speed estimator seems incredibly acurate as it dropped into the lee behind those trees...😮😏😀🇬🇧
What font are you using Keith? Looks great. Thanks for the Video!
It's a slightly modified version of Sneaky FPV's Conthrax font. He was nice enough to make it available on his site too (sites.google.com/view/sneaky-fpv/home) Scroll down to Walksnail, click on Ardupilot, that will take you to a google drive. Click Ardupilot again, then Community, and you'll see the file SNEAKY_FPV_WS_AP_BonafidePirate.zip
@@bonafidepirate oh awesome, thanks. I've just had a few flights with my new walksnail kit. This will ne a nice improvement.
Pretty amazing flying, Keith! 😃 That's a fantastic airframe indeed! Love it! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love your flights.
What battery type and mah are you using?
4S1P 21700mAh Li-Ion, 5000mAh Occasionally I fly it with 4S2P 18650 as well, but really I like this battery a little better. It's lighter and still has more than enough capacity for what I do with it... lol
Looks like your video LQ improved :D
I did make some changes on the receiver end, I'll have a video on that soon too, hopefully.
do you have problems with the gps mounted inside the t-1?
