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..

That's a neat little frame. Just be sure to have a variety of standoffs available to get the stack height just right.
Yep, it's really quite nice looking! Purchased a Martian II to replace it though... It's really not durable. As a beginner I'd like a little more confidence in my flying, and not having to worry about a soft crash on grass to break an arm. What's your experience with it so far? Really like your build with it, it's so clean!
It's held up quite well so far. It's taken a couple hard hits without any problems.
Ah okay. I was really thinking hard about either buying a whole new Frog Lite frame (one arm was already delaminated and they don't sell individual replacements) or buying a Martian II, which both of my friends have and I'm sure of that it's strong and cheap to repair.
So I chose the Martian. It's kind of sad because I really, really liked the Frog, but I might go back one day. Shouldn't be too hard, it's hopefully just going to be unscrewing all the parts, maybe putting a few milimeters extra on a few cables and putting it on the other frame. Frog is 218mm and the Martian is 220mm.
