Hi everyone - had a bit of a hard landing (i lie it was a crash) when my gopro mount decided it no longer liked being a hitchhiker to the drone and flew off and actually hit the drone mid air (oh what are the chances). Drone survived mostly in tact and i managed to find the gopro (lucky).
Now on to the repairs, the top plate is snapped at the back where the power leads and antenna come up and so need a new top plate - can these be bought individually? Also the prop ripped the cable out the VTX right where it joins into the board so i dont know if it is repairable or if i will need to buy a whole new VTX ?
Will post pictures once i get it opened up but some initial advice would be great thanks.
Thanks Luca for the link - im in the UK so will just have to wait for the part to make its way over or i pay £20 for one off ebay
I think the cable will be repairable actually - wont know until i strip it apart which i wont be able to do until i am back home. Do you know what sort of connector is it that goes into the VTX DoomedFPV? These are the best pics i could get the now as i havent got the tools with me to remove the top plate and inspect further - plus need to know what sort of cable it is first before i order anything else.
Unfortunately not right now no - i work away from home and so dont have my toolkit with me. Will have to wait until i get home a week on Monday im afraid - no flying for me in the evenings lol!
Thanks for the links - one thing i find very confusing is the connectors - i broke my original Pagoda antenna and so replaced it with an RC menace one (RHCP) but i had to get an adaptor to get it to attach to the x220s. Now does the X220s pigtail have an RP-SMA female connector ? and can i change it to an SMA to get my new antenna attached without using the adapter ?
No problem - will get it ordered … im guessing the other end is an U.FL connection ? Done a bit of research and thats what i can see on the VTX pictures from various places online.
