Started with the UAVFutures $99 build. Realised that I live in Australia, and I'll never hit that $99AUD anyway. Started hunting around on r/multicopterbuilds, found the wiki of parts there. Selected the the parts that had comments along the lines of "good value", and towards the cheaper end of the spectrum. Ideally, I now want someone to look over this configuration and confirm that I will actually be able to put the thing together. Cheers!

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!

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