Cool Cinesplore

I have planed to build this frame for cinematic style or indoor video.
One of my frineds have had problem with 3inch with full gopro(around 120g) because motor get extremly hot over 1min flying. It's not super fast and acro style.
So i found this frame and motor. i compared between 1507 or 1408 motor(my friend's) and my motor (FPVCycle).
FPVCycle 2203 is not hot. it's just warm when i do acro-freestyle. Flight perfomance is not ultra super fast response such as 5inch but it's great handling with cinematic shot. I'm freed from worry. I like this pancake-shaped motor.

The frame is just normal. i just only ordred frame because i have 3D printer and i can make duck by my printing.

The motor is now super cool when i fly over 3 min also i reduced weight as i can do. Yes, i''m not doing acro-freestyle with this quad because it's made for cinematic. For this purpose, it's so great

In disadvantage, if the wind is strong, this quad is not quit flight perfomance. It' heavy weight(AUW is around 490~530 g) so i use reelsteady go with gopro 6 when the wind is too strong. Now i'm working on duck re-design for wind condition. The main thing is weight. Also, i tried 3.5inch prop. The flight perfomance is better than 3"

Anyway, I'm happy to get and build this quad.

Thanks!

I use still analog system so VTX is just 1 g so i can redue the weigh of AUW a lot!
It's around 490 g~ 530 g. it depends on what battery is used.

i recommend battery and prop:

4s with 3-blade outside
3s with 5-blade indoor (which is quiter than 4s 3-blade)

Build video (plz, turn on ENG subtitle)

After build and flight video (waterfall shot is not 3inch. it was 5inch quad)

What kinda flight time do you get out of this thing? I'm new to cinewhoops so excuse the question if its really stupid: is it possible to make a "longe range" cinewhoop cruiser? Want to kill two buirds with one stone. Thanks!

Simply no. It's not purpose to fly long-time. i use gopro hero 6 with 1050mah 4s or 1300mah 4s with 3min flight-time. if you wanna fly longer you should reduce the weight of motor and gopro. If you use gopro, you can test with gopro or none. that will be answered for you.

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..
