(Update) 7" TBS Source One v0.2...
Name: "Funny Bones."
(UPDATED APRIL 2020) I rebuilt Funny Bones to have a more normal look and feel to it. It worked okay, but had issues with the GoPro in the front. From the older photos, not much has changed. Taped over the wire meshes, removed the rear FPV cam, and removed the captains chair and replaced with a normal GoPro TPU mount... (see newly added photos)
I modeled this build after "The Joker generations" (which you can see the design I made for a decal or hydro dip for the quad in the photos).
This build from start to rebuild. With the GoPro and battery, it weighs at 1051 grams, w/o the GoPro and battery, it weighs right at 569 grams. (current rebuild weights)
Funny Bone has a total of 3 cameras normally, the FPV camera, the GoPro Hero 7, and a GoPro session for recording rear facing footage, and it works awesome!!
The motors, the 4 - KO Technologies Demon Seeds are 2407 1750kv 6s. These are actaully "Prototypes." I got them from KO Technologies and they price the same as the 2208 1750kv's. So, I priced the motors with the pricing information from TBS...
(I have 4 main motors and 2 spare motors)

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..

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..
