craigbrown79 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I folks I'm new to the quad scene, I've had rc cars for ages and are busy shopping around to build a quad copter from scratch. I've seen post of people mention about a Naza Gps system that has a return home feature, ad a static hover function. can anyone recommend a similar system to the naza but not with out the big price tag..... Building on a budget at first it'll be a f450 frame many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Buy naza light and jailbreak it to V2 it's not bad for £85 ish cheaper than Spending £200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) aye grab a Naza Lite M. its the gps version. the naza M or the V2 as its know is in fact a naza Lite, its just been repackaged in a nice red color box. and fully unlocked. the naza lite is a locked down model of the naza M and with some crafty tricking of the unit we can force it to upgrade itself to become a Naza M V2. that cheap naza lite becomes a more expensive V2 model, and its all down to a software trick install. the software update, will give you the standard Manual mode - gps mode - leveling mode , but it also adds on WAYPOINTS. this means you can programe the controller to fly to a few selected points on google maps, upload it to the machine and it will fly that route and visit each waypoint you have specified Edited January 5, 2016 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Crockett Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 +1 for the naza lite 'upgrade' it does work and not that difficult to do alternatively, look at the APM flight controller. I had v2.6 and got very good results. Bit more involved to get up and running but mission planner software provides waypoint flights too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbrown79 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Can people recommend a good place to buy the naza from then?? For a first timer large quadcopter flyer is it best to use the naza or go for a normal flight controller???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always bought my stuff from - http://www.quadcopters.co.uk/ - not sure if they are the very cheapest though but great service. For a first time flyer the Naza is very ideal, once you go through the ground check and it locks onto GPS you can literally put up to half power and hover it with no input. If a gust of wind blows it it will go back to that GPS lock position. Defo recommend it for that. Further down the line if/when you get really into it you would probs want to look at a more open source one to really unlock a quads potential.
