As a salesman at a drone hobbyist store, and a writer for ADrone Magazine, I see firsthand the creative ways enthusiasts are pushing the limits of their flying machines. It’s no longer just about flying straight out of the box. The real excitement lies in drone modifications – that sweet spot where engineering meets imagination. Recent videos showcase a fascinating range of mods, from ingenious battery setups for extended flight times to transforming a humble Walmart drone into a DIY FPV beast. These projects demonstrate that you don’t need a bottomless budget to dive into the world of drone hacking. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just starting your journey, there’s a mod out there waiting to take your drone experience to the next level.

Some shots of the latest version of my DJI FPV battery breakout mod. I designed a PCB to make things smaller. Now it fits into a 3D printed case that can be attached to the battery cases. I have extended the software so that different flight mods and battery presets can be selected. After each flight there is also a small flight report that shows the flight time, the consumed capacity, the max. current and the min. voltage during the flight.
