Personally I would suggest saving up and buying a drone direct from DJI. (refurbished as an idea)
As interesting as a self build would be, the complexities of putting an aircraft together is best left to the experts with the right knowledge and the right tooling in my opinion. No warranties, no second chances if you get it even slightly wrong! Imagine spending months saving for component parts, building it, taking it to the sky, and watching it soar away because you got part of the build process wrong, an incorrect torque setting, a pinched cable etc But I look forward to seeing your updates just the same.
I won't deny that there is risk involved with a full self build, but that's the excitement and anticipation I do crave there. Also from what I have seen from tear down videos there are some small improvements to be made. For example the wires connecting the motors to the ESC board. I think I'll have a plug for those making any future replacement far easier, The less soldering needed to make a repair the better. Another would be the cable used connecting the camera to the gimbal board. Seems fairly exposed and lacks proper shielding, perhaps I'll add a shrink wrap there and make sure any contact surface are smoothed. |
