TBS DISCOVERY owners will enjoy the ability to go symmetric with their favorite airframe, or add larger props and higher cell motors to get the endurance / long range juices going. The length is customizable by cutting the carbon fiber tube to length. Extends the arms to allow up to 15" propellers.

Or move on the part2, part3 or my 2nd build.The AerialMob upgrade for TBS DISCOVERY (PRO) and FlameWheel F450 / F550. Stay tuned for the next part of the build!Ĭheck out the image gallery of the whole build. The official build video is sometimes a bit too fast and I needed to rewind it many many times. So far I am positively surprised about how everything is designed (minus the screws). That’s all for the first part of my build log of the TBS Discovery Pro. But if they come loose I might have to reconsider this. I did not use loctite for now, as the arms are plastic.
Finally, I used a hex key to tighten the screws on the arms. None of my standard screwdrivers had a tight fit. The quality of theses screws however gave me headaches.
Instead the motors are directly bolted onto the arms with screws out of one of the bags. Then I found out that short silver screws and the cross piece in the package are not used. I removed all the screws on the prop holders and mounted them with loctite to the top of the motors. Last step of the today was assembling the Tiger 900kv motors. Disco Pro ground plate with Naza Light in the center and the dji power unit on the bottom And I completed the work on the bottom plate with gluing the Naza flight controller with a 3M patch. I started out with a very fine soldering tip but this did not work and I had to mount a fatter soldering tip which could deliver enough heat. Next, I put the gimbal to the side and started with the frame by soldering the ESCs and the battery connector. They should be forward on top and backward on the bottom for a push/pull configuration. While the GoPro cage is upright, the dampers are upside down. The roll axis on my build is 180 degrees wrong and should be flipped around. All orange seems to be a good option too. There are reports of vibrations with the standard setup. However, this might change as the dampers need to be fine tuned. For the time being I chose the standard red and orange damper configuration. Otherwise the ends of the zip-ties collided with other parts, preventing the gimbal from turning freely.
#TBS DISCOVERY PRO SETUP ZIP#
The cables are attached with zip ties, which have to be attached exactly how the video shows. Two tiny little grub screws are used to hold the tilt motor. The small electronic board was a little bit too big, but after grinding the board on two ends by fractions of a millimeter it fit snugly into the holder.
The small screws are for the metal parts and some of the short bigger ones (from a separate bag) are for the gimbal motors. I’ve started with the gimbal assembly, a big puzzle with motors, screws and aluminum parts. Soldering iron, screwdrivers, zip ties, loctite 222 (the purple one).The build Instructions (pdf) with the accompanying build video from TBS.Let’s start! After Unboxing I gathered all the necessary resources such as:
