Seems like a real beast! Love the color on the paracord! Where did you get it?

Cheers!

Thanks so much! It's just very generic 550 paracord you can get at Walmart or Michael's. Make sure to cut extra length, and melt the ends to keep them from fraying. You can also mold the ends shape a little for larger or smaller wires. Also make sure you measure it while it's stretched, and keep it stretched when you heat shrink the ends, makes it look and feel super clean and tight:)

Thanks for the like! It's just paracord - Cut, remove inner strands, and melt ends to stop fraying, love it.

What size do you use?

It's 550, a bit tight on the power wires, but they fit.

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..
