Catalyst Machineworks - Massive Droner HD

My take on the Catalyst Machineworks Massive Droner HD. I went for the cleanest possible build inspired by FPV-FlightClub's work. All factory TPU was replaced with custom parts designed in Fusion360. I try to minimize zip-ties and tape in my builds. All components including battery backup buzzer are contained neatly within this VERY tight frameset. Weight is 283g w/850mah pack and 249g w/640mah pack. Will report back after I put that few packs through it.

Hope you enjoy!

Thank you

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..
