Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge and experience. However, personal fulfillment is the aim.

NOTES

  • You should follow your local regulations regarding which mode to use.
  • Long term hardware effects are unknown
  • You get more or less 30% more range
  • Your system must be already in FCC mode
  • Enable Power Limit as it add some protections against overheating.

  • Create a .txt file, name it naco_pwr.txt
  • Type pwr_2 or pwr_1
    • pwr_1 = 1000 mW
    • pwr_2 = 1200 mW & 1000 mW
  • Save and close
  • Copy naco_pwr.txt to an SD card
  • Put SD card in DJI goggles
  • Power on Goggles and Air Unit

 Now in the Goggles menu, under Settings -> Device, you should be able to select 1200 mW or 1000 mW

Enable FCC Mode on DJI FPV System (700mw 8 Channels)

In CE mode, the maximum output is limited to 25 mW, and there are only 4 channels available, while in FCC mode those numbers are increased to 700 mW and 8 channels. 

NOTE that you should follow your local regulations regarding which mode to use.

How to switch to FCC mode from CE mode

  • Take the micro SD Card out of the Air Unit
  • Create a text file on the root directory, name it naco.txt
  • Write 1 in the file, which means FCC mode for USA or any other number according to this list:
    • 1 – FCC mode for US, 8 Channels
    • 2 – FCC mode for Canada 4 Channels
    • 3 – HK CE 4 Channels
    • 4 – CN SRRC 4 Channels
    • 5 – JP Japan 3 Channels
    • 6 – KR Korea 4 Channels
    • 7 – BR Brazil 4 Channels
    • 8 – FR CCA 4 Channels
  • Insert SD card in the Air Unit
  • Power up goggles, and then Air Unit

 in the Player menu you should see now 8 channels.

Attention updating the firmware on your DJI FPV goggles and Air Unit will always reset the power setting back to the default settings according to your region!

Armattan Marmotte 5 DJI Edition

The Armattan Marmotte is the culmination of everything that Armattan learned during the design process of their previous flagship multi-rotors. The design is clean and sturdy, the cage has been redesigned and is entirely in Titanium to protect your camera.

This new frame is approx 115 grams, made of 4 mm carbon with a life time warranty on all Carbon Fiber and metal pieces!

The tilting mechanism can be oriented to a low 10 degrees or so up to 90 degrees. The front camera position now remove props from view of the HD stream.

The frame is 5 inch prop compatible, but the longer body means you can more easily fit an HD camera and a bigger lipo, even at higher tilt.  It is definitely bigger compare to my previous Armattan Chameleon Ti 5” (top).

The longer body means you can more easily fit a GoPro/ DJI HD camera and a bigger lipo (4 to 5S)

Mounting the Armattan Marmotte

This Bag contains everything needed to build your Armattan Marmotte 5 Dji Edition

A lot of space to mount your DJI Air Unit. A custom 2 sided 3M foams to mount the DJI Air Unit is provided and reduce damages during impacts.

Zoom on the titanium tilting mechanism that fully protect your DJI camera.

4 screws to secure your flight controller. I personally don’t like the fact that the controller is not in the middle of the X shape like in the Armattan Chameleon.

Mounting the electronic together.

The DJI Air System has plenty of space. An extended-aluminum rear provides a protected tail, the raised lips on the front and rear metal help keep you from damaging the carbon frame.

And now let’s go flying!

Flysky NV14 FS-NV14 RC Nirvana Transmitter

This controller feels so nice in the hands and the digital gimbals are very nice with exception of a very light spring tension, but the best part is when you look at your receiver tab in Betaflight there is zero Jitter on your RX channels.. So no more need for dead band to compensate for the analog Jitter. I’m currently considering the TBS Tango 2: native crossfire, smaller, and not so heavy (603Gr vs 569g)

OpenTX developer crew is now porting a fully functioning version of OpenTX for this radio. They appear to be doing exactly that for the upcoming release of OpenTX v2.4. The Pull Request #7376 is still open as of today.
