Hi, all!

I'm back with another build log/review of Xbee's latest frame - The XB-X V2 - It's their follow-up to the previous model, The XB-X Mk2.
You can watch my reviews of Xbee's previous frames at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTgOwqCPrBM-AKWNTy_xMVQ

I know I said I was going to make the XB-X Mk 2 my main flyer but it was too hard to do when its successor was already going to be released very shortly after, at the time.

Edit - I've taken off the batteries because I think most people will have old batteries they can use anyway so it doesn't apply for most builds.

Now, this is a work in progress so please bare with me as I slowly, but steadily update this until it's finished.

P.S - omg I didn't realise how much money this build would cost lol

Sorry that image was from the Xbee.kr website and not mine, I just use it as a placeholder for now.

But I think it's shrink tube or mesh. I'll have to ask Xbee as I'm also curious.

Mar 04, 2021

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.
