Dry weight turned out to be 335g and with a GoPro Session and Lumenier graphene is 577g/

How do you like this frame today? Have you broken a ton of arms? Are they easy to replace in the field?

tbh I love the frame, but I still find that my go to is my QAV-R, mainly because I'm almost afraid of this thing! I feel like I'm going to puff my batteries now that I've slapped on a set of 2206s because it rips haha
I've broken a total of two arms, the first of which was an absolutely brutal crash and I was amazed that I only broke an arm. The other crash wasn't nearly as bad, so I was disappointed that one of the arms failed.
Repair in the field is simple enough. You'll only need the basic tools and you'll be done in five minutes, tops.

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..
