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!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Would u recommend going for the matek f7 with the 32k gyro for future proofing or the mpu6000 for it’s reliability? I remember a lot of stuff on the noise of the gyros. JB says it’s been fixed as long as the power system is good (I don’t know what he means by power system). I’m a future proofing kind of guy because I can only afford to build and maintain one quad a year. Considering what I’ve told u, what would u recommend: matek f4 or f7
MPU6000 is a history, low noise, but too slow. F3 flight controllers are also slow for a new features of BF, but they could fly well so far. Better choice F4 with ICM20602 gyro, best choice - F7 with ICM20602 gyro.
They say that the matek f722-STD can’t run 32/32. Would that impact your feelings for that’s specific flight controller? Also, have u experienced noise issues on your quads with the icm20602 gyro lately?
