This build is designed to be lightweight for racing. Now that I've built it, I love it! It is so lightweight and has such clean wiring! It flys so effortlessly, because of the powerful motors and lightweight. I also 3D printed an AXII antenna mount which works well out the back. I've gotten good range from that so far, and it's tucked away so it is super durable. I can also change it our for a LHCP one if I need to. Unfortunatly, I've been having really aggressive vibrations when it flys. More violent shaking than I've seen before. Tuning has been able to help, but not completely. I think that it's a PID or gyro problem, because the motors are smooth when I spin them up in the motors tab of Betaflight. Also, the blackbox logging indicates that there are crazy vibrations. I'll get it figured out eventually.

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..
