Without Gimbal and camera whole setup weight is about 1390 grams and I get about 15 minutes flight time.

I bought futaba which is a very good RC tx/rx but dont go with it as it is very costly, and you can see at my setup price u can go with a DJI phantom 3 which is very stable

currently iam upgrading my setup to a simple aerial platform soon ill post pics

680 sunnysky,1047 or (1365 if you can fit) on 4S.Prepare for takeoff.

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..
