TBS PODRACER 5"
Weighs 175grams without 6s LiPo. Imagine using a 6s 500mAh of 75grams and sub250 grams would be plausible as well as flighttimes in excess of 4 minutes relaxed flying.

The Canopy is great and all, but the AIO-board didn't fit. I had to scrape off some to make it fit. I used a standoff to elevate the canopy several millimeters.

Except for "150Hz ELRS"-preset in Betaflight, it flies stock Betaflight 4.5 PIDs and rates.

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..
