Awesome!!!!
I love it SO much!!!!!
Ok, now the deets: that dome over your flight stack looks light, and durable, how is it attached (and also: what was it?)?
SO I have questions about takeoff and landing, your cam angle is WILD
Do you stand it up on the bottom of the battery sled, and if so is your cam angle...like...115deg?!??!?!??!
How do you land? do you have a soft spot to plop it down, or do you drag the tail? Follow up: do you have some kind of expendable plastic on the bottom edge of the tail, or does it straight drag carbon?
I would love lOvE LOVE some LOS footage of that bad boii in the air, please please please!!!

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

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. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
