FPV Model Released Its New ZMR180 Mini Quad

The ZMR180 is a micro quad designed with "fun" in mind. Agile, quick, and small all fit together with this kit and its a blast to fly. Keeping simplicty in mind this frame has high quality 3mm bottom plate and a 1.5 mm top plate. Using the same carbon fiber that you find in FPVMODELs ZMR250 V2, you can rest assured that this is NOT the run of the mill cheap eBay Carbon Fiber that most others sell. This CF is backed with FPVMODELs name so you can trust that it is top of the line.

The ZMR180 is an awesome time to be had and you will find the smaller size can zoom through gaps that were previously not even considered with a 250 sized quad.

The ZMR weighs in at 72g including the given mounting hardware and spacers allowing for an ultra-light weight build yet leaving plenty of build room for adding all necessary FPV gear. If you wanna add more muscle, pick the ZMR180 with the larger mounts for 22xx motors.

Hurry up and get yours now, they are "flying" off the shelves.

1. Solder the Transmitter and Camera

Cut the wires of camera to suitable length and solder them to PDB.
Red wire: Power
Black Wire: GND
Yellow: Signal

Solder the power supply wire and video wire (yellow) of transmitter to PDB.


2. Install OSD

The OSD firmware must be flashed and compatible to the Flight Controller before installation. If you don’t need to install the OSD, please just skip this step.

Solder the pin headers onto PDB.

Install the OSD on PDB. Insert it onto the pin heads and soldered. After secured, cut off the unnecessary length of pins.

3. Install the Buzzer

Pay attention to the positive pole “+” on the buzzer.  It needs to be soldered to the buzzer location on PDB.

Cut off the unnecessary pins.



4. Install ESCs
 
Solder the ESCs onto PDB.


The black wires can be parallel connected to the negative pole “-”.
 
 
5. Install Brushless Motors


The motor’s rotation direction can be changed by changing any two wires.

6. Extension


If the OSD and buzzer are installed, then you’ll need to use the supplied wires to solder onto PDB. Please take notice of wire length.


7. Install Flight Controller

Notice on the flight controller: It doesn’t require for soldering if the ESCs have no BEC. The flight controller can be powered by soldering to “5V” (circled in red).
