Reptile Cloud Cinewhoop
By DoubleJackOnTap on Apr 09, 2020
This started out as a budget build Cinewhoop, but like most builds I blew up the budget. For the most part, everything I wanted was out of stock. I looked at the Diatone Taycan, the Iflight Bumblebee and Green Hornet and the new HGLRC Veyron, but all the frames were out of stock or backordered. Then I found the Reptile and thought I could manage to save some $$ since the frame is 1/2 the price of the others. Well that lasted until the FC and motors. I figured since I saved so much on the frame I could upgrade. But that logic continued for every component except the camera. I intended on using extra parts that I already had but for one reason or another I convinced myself that I should buy new ones. Nevermind that I have 4 extra VTXs, 3 extra cameras, various motors, ect.
I did plan on the analog build for this frame, but like the fact that it is DJI compatible once I decide to make that leap.
Installed BF 4.1 with rpm filtering and completed the maiden flight. So far so good. Still messing with the GoPro settings to find the best combination for ReelSteady.

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..

Hi! I'm thinking about doing one like this. I've noticed that the version 1 is quiter than most cinewhoops. Does that apply to this build (I mean, having in consideration the added EVA foam, etc..)?
Besides, what's the flight time you can get with it?
You're feedback will be very much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
I dont have any other cinewhoops to compare the noise level. It is quieter than all my 5" quads and about the same as my normal 3" quad. Its not quiet but not obnoxious either.
For flight times I average between 5-6 minutes cruising around on. 1500 mah. I typically land at 3.7- 3.8 volts. It could go longer if pushing the battery.
