This is my second clone Hyphy 5" build. This is one of the most thoughtfully designed frames I have had the pleasure building. It's a tight build so picking the right components is critical if you don't want your parts hanging out the side of your frame like the Beverly Hillbillies Truck. The frame and drive train combination make for a butter build on Betaflight 3.0 stock PIDs. Throw on some RK 5150 and you have torque monster.

Impressively clean build for such a compact frame, nice job! Great photos too. Is that the stock lens on that HS1177 or have you put a wider one on it?

Nice photos. What sort of lighting setup did you use?

Thanks Whiffles. Just two IKEA desk lamps I had laying around. Definitely not the ideal light source, actually the exact opposite of soft and large. There is a picture of the setup on my IG.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. 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..
