This will forsure be my goto frame to try top mount batteries, when i have the money! lol Reminds me of the HyperLow frame.

Nice build! It looks a lot like the GEP-TX5 I just finished. How do you like those props? I'm running Dal 5040 tris on mine because I wanted to tread lightly into the F60s.

@dirtdiver What batteries are you running with that setup?

dirtdiver   Jan 05, 2017 

I've got some older Tattu 1300mAh, and some newer Revolectrix 1500mAh LiHV's. Either seem to work fine, without puffage. The packs do get a bit warmer than my old prop/motor setup though.

Whiffles   Jan 05, 2017 

I might have to give them a try then. I'm running Tattu Race Series 1300, so they should be fine.

Any option for camera plates that would support mounting a Session?

IMHO, this would be the best for this frame. Strap through the carbon is always my preferred solution.

Just designed up a 3D printed mount that integrates into the horizontal standoffs between the cam plates. Looks super clean. I've also been toying with the idea of 3d printed face cover for the session that allows a strap to be run the same direction as the hero 4.

Both setups sound awesome to me, though my brain just wondered if strapping to standoffs would be as sturdy?Anyway, the same direction idea would be neat too, just need to make sure the 3d cover leaves a hole for the record button.

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..
