Armattan SCX200, 2205 2300kv motors ZTW 30a ESCs on BF 2.8.1 Cyclone F3 FC. The colored CF is amazing, plus the really cool camera mount that holds tilt and the rear mounted antenna had me sold on this one.

Did you have trouble getting the vtx onto the mount? I am using the same vtx and antenna, but haven't figured out how to get it to fit. It seems like the SMA connector on the vtx is too short, and the antenna doesn't connect tightly.

I didn't have an issue, I do not use an O-ring between the 2 plates, you may have issues if you do. I put small piece of double sided tape between the plates to help it not move and just tighten down the antenna with a wrench until it stops moving.

Thank you! I got it sorted out. Need to file down the inside of the anti-rotation plate.

It isn't painted, the Carbon Fiber is colored, you can get it in red or blue and they also sell the Arms separately in red or blue. No idea what magic they used to color it, but it looks amazing.

Yeah I realized that after following the link and edited my comment. I hope we see more frames like this in the future. I'd love to see a white carbon fiber frame.

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
