NewBeeDrone & Joshua Bardwell Smart Power Goggle Cable
The NewBeeDrone & Joshua Bardwell Smart Power Goggle Cable is a collaboration product between NewBeeDrone and Joshua Bardwell.
Back in Mid 2021, Joshua Bardwell contacted us and brought up the idea of a smart goggle power cable adaptor. We realized that we could make a device to power a goggle through leftover 4S/6S batteries from quads since even if the battery level is at 30%, it still has enough power to supply the goggle.
At first, we thought of just making a very simple power module board that takes 2S-6S batteries and connect it with a 5.5x2.1 DC male plug and use a heat shrink to cover it. However, that method seems too unreliable so we decided to put a power indicator LED light and a buzzer to indicate the number of battery cells when you plug in a battery. The aluminum case acts like a shield to protect the hardware while providing heat dissipation for the power module.
Why do we call it the Smart Power Module? Because it can automatically detect input voltage to indicate battery cell and will output voltage based on the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is too low, it will give a low voltage to trigger the "goggle low voltage" warning.

Specification:
Power input port: XT60
Power input support: 3S/4S/6S battery
Calbe Length: 1.5 meters/4.92ft
LED power indicator light
Buzzer indicator: Beep per cell when battery plugs in. For Example: the module will beep 6 times when a 6S battery is plugged in.
Voltage Output: 6.2V - 8.7V (Based on the battery average cell voltage)
Use your lipo flight packs for your goggles… and still get accurate low voltage warning in your goggles!

JB cable for 8hours
I received JB unit with a malfunction about 8 hours after receiving it it just blownup while connected to my goggle V2 with a 6s pack. They are still investigating what went wrong and they ask for pics im still waiting to get a new one. 15usd is no cheap cable for less then 8 hour

I like it
Had an issue with the first one. NBD replaced it no hassle. Otherwise, I like the beeps. The cable is nice and pliable. I dig it. 👍

The jb universal battery adapter fir fpv goggles
Suoer nice shiny strong black insulation high quality , strong . Built in voltage regulator on xt60 . Plug it in your goggles , recievers . I made an adapter for my rc control transmitter . Much more convienient than the old messy multiple battery packs of differnt sizes that needed charged every 3 flights . Get 2 if you can 😃👍

Nice!!!
Great cable. Hope a version for the Goggles 2 comes out.
Still building it, but this sucker gets five stars for completeness. Seems to have a double supply of screws and standoffs, plus it comes with a full set of TPU bits—antenna mount, xt30 mount, a little sled for the receiver, and shoes—that you won’t get from cncdrones.
These batteries might actually be worth it in terms of dollars per flight time! They last over five minutes when my old lower end batteries last three minutes, and they’ve even lasted for seven on a freestyle quad in a tight environment. Plus it’s always fun to have a battery that can actually kind of handle full throttle for extended periods!
I tried to be cheap and find crappy clones of all these tools... it's not cheaper, it's very expensive to buy just a prop wrench, just a m3 nylock wrench and buying hex drivers and wire strippers. It totalled me 90$. This ethix toolkit was cheaper and got me exactly what I wanted and needed for my drone kit
