First Build From Scratch.
StanFPV PusherBee 95x (He modified HD one to work with Tarsier for me)
I needed a Cinewhoop to lift full size GoPro. Decided inverted BetaFPV 95x. Using StanFpV Pusher Bee. He modified it for me. To run Caddx Tarsier 4K. that way I always have good 4K video having fun. If I need to film something cinematic and great quality. I'll slap a GoPro Hero6 on. Insta360 Go if I need to be more nimble. (Insta360 Go on usually) . Flies fine with GoPro 3S and 4S Gemfan 63mm ducted or azure 2540 props
Has RCInPower 1207 6000kV. (Yes a high kV for 4S but so far been fine and not hot. Im not racing at max throttle for a long time. I wanted to be able to run 3S and 4S. )
HQ BiBlades I run indoors and out. Gets best flight Times on average but a lot weaker
Gemfan has been my fav and what I use for GoPro and heavier loads. Azure is right with it.
I have a lot more props I havent tested yet.
Drone weighs about 119grams to 121grams (no battery)
I have a longer VTx antenna coming. So it sits higher than the GoPro
I have modified it to run the Tarsier camera cable thru the bottom.
Been Testing Flight times Cruising
Excel Sheet located here
More batteries and prop combos to be tested
Longest Flight so far
4S 1300mAh 150grams on Gemfan 63mm Ducted was 9:10.. Used 1251mAh.. Ending Voltage with Sag was 3.38v (Cruising around outside)

Video is 4S 450mAh with Gemfan 63mm Ducted Props - Flight Time 2:15 with Full Size GoPro. (Without GoPro estimate 3:30)

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..

Nice Build, I gotta question for ya... I just built a BetaFPV 95x V3, and ended up using the same motors, 1207 6000kv. Man they have crazy power on 4S, I've had to put a throttle limit of 65% SCALED and can't seem to put anything more and a Nazgul 2525 on there because the motors get hot, I was looking thru your spreadsheet and about to make my own, when you say it's "100" temperature wise, what does that mean, my rule of thumb is if I can keep my fingers on it for 10sec, even with it hot, but I get use to it and I don't take my fingers off it it, that is fine...Any thoughts?
I was using temp gun on bell. hottest has been about 130° but I'm doing cinematic and at low throttle. drifting around indoors. Manufacturers put like 80°C as getting to the limit. which is I think 175°F .
getting too hot to hold is like 120/130F degrees. I have thrown full size gopro but short flights. and try to stay under 50% throttle.
I blew the FC. think voltage spike. flew fine last flight. then plugged in a battery next dead and wouldnt arm. think esc went. but got like a year out of it and I use it a lot.
if you're not going crazy on throttle should be fine. motor rated for it. just not for 3" props.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback, yeah looking forward to flying this size and style of quad, I built a Nutmeg Pusher and put 1404 motors on there and have no issues with power or heat and I've been working on this like, man am I crazy... I just can't believe the BetaFPV 95x v2-3 are using 1106 4200kv motors, those must get hot.
yea I have a 95x V3 and I wish it came with a 1206. I have only done 3 indoor test flights so far. making spread sheet for that. turned on rpm filtering now. might mess with tune. tune can make a huge difference in heat.
