RDQ 182. The only thing that you can not see in the picture if the spacers that I used. I was able to put the 3mm spacers between the frame and the PDB, then another set between the FC and the FC plate. I was able to stick the receiver on the plate and had room for the camera to be mounted.

Nice clean build, looks very compact.
Whats does the scale say?

Dog_Days   Aug 30, 2016 

Thanks. The scale is just my mat, they are 1/2" blocks, is that what you are referring to?

It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

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..
