Great little filming rig with the split and able to push some good power out of sticky situations. Build this originally for racing...but has turned into my proximity filming rig! Can’t wait for the weather to get better for some some decent footage.

Which KV of motor did you use? Also do you find the tornado motors to be efficient? Im about to start a build on this frame and i was going to use a set of HGLRC flame 1407 motors i had left over from another quad but id like to make it long range so im thinking about investing in a more efficient set of motors.. any observations or suggestions is greatly appreciated

The BH are super torquey motors. The magnets are super strong on this one, so it makes it more low end than high end. These are 3600KV motors. I haven't used the flame motors, but at a lower KV, you may have better long range capabilites as well as being more efficient with magnets that aren't as strong.

Looks good. Im doing a similar build, what did you use for spacers for the side plates to mount the camera? Im having a hard time finding something that fits well.

Honestly, I have a lot of random parts here and there. What I had were 3mm plastic washers for M3 that I just used. If you do not have anything like that, I would suggest maybe a couple m3 nylon lock nuts or some metal washers found at hardware stores. Best to find M2 washers...but those are harder to come by

Jun 21, 2021

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..

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..
