My Lumenier QAV-R kept cracking its bottom plate, so I now moved all the components to the original one, the 5" Alien frame. I'm very excited with this one.
Weight: 422 g (everything except LiPo)
AUW with LiPo: 587 g
Special considerations:
– There is a Panasonic 1000 µF 25 V low ESW filter capacitor in the quad for filtering.
– I applied a bit of super glue around the sides to strengthen the carbon fibers and sanded afterwards
– The buzzer's ground is connected to the FC, the positive side is conected to the LiPo voltage. That way, the buzzer is much louder. This works because the FC only switches the ground side and would pass through 5V to the buzzer + pad.

I picked up this in place of the capacitor you used. Will it suffice? http://www.frys.com/product/6816106?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
What significant difference is there by using the cap?
Is that a custom 3d printed mount for your GoPro Session?
Yes I wrapped it in good quality Gaffer's tape so it holds the shape better. The foam I use is sturdy on its own but this way it will also resist the pressure from the straps better. The whole foam angle will be pressed in after some weeks, I gotta make sure there is still material left to dampen the camera, otherwise the camera would press against the frame after some time.

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..
