This is an ultra-budget build to be completed by high schoolers in a local science class. Going as budget as I can, but still trying to make something worth flying. The class section revolves around learning to solder and I figured this was a way to get the kids excited about what they were soldering and hopefully they can each go home with a working quadcopter. Miscellaneous parts like XT60s, wiring, props, batteries, etc will be provided for the students by me.

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
