Hi ,
Great build
where did you place the active buzzer ?
having similar issue on mine

CutWZL   Dec 22, 2022 

Hi! Right behind the camera cage, in front of the flight controller. Can be seen in the first picture.

How is the vista attached to the frame?

CutWZL   Feb 24, 2022 

You can see it in the last picture. With 4 small M2 screws.

zuggzugg   Feb 24, 2022 

hrm, my marmotte has little slits cut out there but not 4 individual 20 x 20 holes. Did you mount it through those?

CutWZL   Feb 24, 2022 

Correct, placed it in the slits. Screw heads were too small (or respectively slits too wide) so I had to use some washers.

Do you have any photos of inside the frame, how you fitted the FC/ESC board right next to the Vista unit? Things I'm considering/trying to work out are:
a) I'm trying to see with SpeedyBee Stack F7 V2 how to put things together noting power leads from battery to ESC board will be at back (not on side) in terms of space
b) how to mount Vista unit itself on Marmotte at back (e.g. printed STL part to help?)
c) how to mount Vista camera - seems to need space perhaps, perhaps STL part to print

Photo upload doesn't work. I'll upload it into the rotorbuilds album above.

ok - thanks

Oh, some ideas for you. If you need more space, choose the larger Marmotte DJI version. Or just rotate your stack 90 degrees for side output or 180 degrees for front output (there's enough space) and adjust orientation in BetaFlight.

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..
