The total weight of the drone is 140 grams without the battery and 290 grams with the battery installed. Currently, the hover current is approximately 6 amps at 11.1 volts when using a 3s battery. The max current draw is 12amps under full throttle. Flight times exceed 15 minutes with a homemade 3s battery using Panasonic NCR18650GA 3450mAh 10A batteries. However, voltage sag is significant due to the low maximum current of these batteries. To improve performance, I new batteries using Molicel P28A 18650 2800mAh 35A batteries, which offer over 3 times the maximum current draw. Each of these 3s batteries weighs 150 grams. With these improvements, I achieved a flight time of over 20 minutes, with improved performance. I also changed the antenna out for an mmcx antenna. This saved 5-10 grams as an mmcx to sma adapter and an sma antenna weigh 15 grams and an mmcx antenna weighs about 5 grams.

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..
