What FC should I build next?
Added 2016-09-14 18:51:42 +0000 UTCThis is a good kind of problem to have! I have too many interesting FC's and I can't decide which one to build out next. Help me decide in the comments. Choices are:
Omnibus AIO F3 with Betaflight OSD
Sirin FPV
Furious Kombini (plus super-secret I have one of the very first OSD+VTX boards, so this build could not be made public until that product was cleared for release by Furious).
Comments
My vote is Omnibus. Just got one in but it will be a bit before I build.

2016-12-02 23:54:08 +0000 UTCI guess it was the Kombini. Actually, it wasn't, but the Kombini/Rampage was the first one to actually hit my channel, because the Armadillo/Omnibus build got hung up by needing to get a replacement PDB. Right now, I think the Omnibus Pro is pretty compelling. Built in Betaflight OSD, PDB with current sensor, and SD card reader. Hard to ask for much more. Hmm... 99% sure it has a current sensor anyway.

2016-11-10 04:26:12 +0000 UTCDid you make a decision here Joshua? I'm interested in the topic generally, and now with the advent of Dshot and compatibility issues with various flight controllers, the increasing integration of FC's/OSD's/PDB's etc (and the compromises that entails), the new F4 boards etc etc, it ain't getting any easier to make a decision ;-)
2016-11-09 12:38:02 +0000 UTCThe Armadillo build is on hold right now because I damaged the PDB. Oops. In general, I think the Omnibus is a really good value at $40. It's like getting an integrated OSD for $5.

2016-09-21 21:36:05 +0000 UTCI ordered an Omnibus Pro (the standard omnibus doesn't come with current sensor), so I'd really like to know what you think of it!

2016-09-19 18:36:31 +0000 UTCI currently have content queued up for about a week, so not before then for sure. I would say in the 2-3 weeks time frame. I will probably be working on one of the builds this week.

2016-09-19 04:35:32 +0000 UTCWhen do you think you'll have any videos on the FC's in question?

2016-09-19 02:52:08 +0000 UTCOmnibus is my target!
2016-09-15 08:29:01 +0000 UTCI'd like to know your general thoughts about these combined flight controllers while you're testing them. Obviously if one component, especially a regulator, blows then the whole lot has gone. Personally I think as long as the esc's are kept separate them its acceptable ;-) Oh, and quality is kept up.
2016-09-15 07:18:16 +0000 UTCI go for the Omnibus
2016-09-15 01:11:37 +0000 UTCF3 FC and black box looking for a all in 1 FC
2016-09-15 00:37:26 +0000 UTCAlthough Richard Garrett makes good point I vote for the Omnibus since it's the one that I'm most curious about whether or not it's a piece of crap that's been put together just to join the hype train of boards with integrated functionalities.
2016-09-14 22:58:29 +0000 UTCI vote the Sirin - The SirinFPV FC is what the Singularity FC should have been. The Singularity is 400mW however so no good for racing, and it does NOT have an OSD. <a href="http://impulserc.com/codelayer-singularity-stm32f3-flight-controller" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://impulserc.com/codelayer-singularity-stm32f3-flight-controller</a>
2016-09-14 22:10:05 +0000 UTCSirin FPV since this is the only one available right now with built in OSD + VTX + Blackbox. Integration of components is the future and I want the future to be now!
2016-09-14 21:15:37 +0000 UTCKombini, Omnibus, Sirin
2016-09-14 20:47:36 +0000 UTCOmnibus!
2016-09-14 20:47:10 +0000 UTCthe most exciting would be the furious secret product of course..:) but until then I would really love to see working a built-in vtx, so I vote fore Sirin FPV
2016-09-14 20:25:14 +0000 UTCI'd like to see whatever you think has peaked your interest the most 😊

2016-09-14 19:42:01 +0000 UTCIf I already had a separate video just about the Betaflight OSD, would that change your vote?
Joshua Bardwell
2016-09-14 19:40:31 +0000 UTCFor now, the question is which one I build next. I will build them all eventually, and that's independent of a shootout/roundup.

2016-09-14 19:40:10 +0000 UTCNot in this roundup.
Joshua Bardwell
2016-09-14 19:39:49 +0000 UTCOmnibus for sure. It's new and interesting with the built in osd.
Baker
2016-09-14 19:38:16 +0000 UTCAre any f4 FC's?
Hayden de Dulin
2016-09-14 19:32:13 +0000 UTCWow, that is a tough decision! Can I vote for a shootout between all three? ;) If only one then do the Omnibus, it looks like the most economical solution.
