After the unfortunate death of my first build https://rotorbuilds.com/build/9953 I've decided that I had no luck with micros (4 unfortunate incidents in a row) I decided to build my first mini.

Rig weighs in at 369.9g without batteries, and I get around 12mins of hovering with the 1500mAh 4S battery.

My first build using the Matek F405 STD FC, pretty easy build, but having issues with the barometer. Twitches when I activate altitude hold on BF, will sort that out. Testing out the Quelima SQ12 action cam. Can't go wrong at that price before I go full on GoPro.

Here's to hoping my streak of bad quad luck ends with this Rooster!

Nice build mate! Seems your baro problem is just a problem of tuning. Did you try to tune the barometer PID in Betaflight? I think the variable names are ALT, VelP and VelD. It is the same kind of tuning as for the motors. I personally only use the baro to monitor altitude through the OSD as it is not really useful on a racer but I tried the altitude hold for fun and it was not so bad after tuning. I had twitches as well before changing the PID values. You can check this for more info : https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/issues/1003

Thanks for the tip. Yeah I just wanted to try the altitude hold for fun, might be useful if i want to take pictures of it in flight haha.

Sorry to hear about the last quad :( This one is looking good tho. Just preordered my Chameleon TI and am excited. 12 minutes hover seems crazy long but I've never really just done a hover test though. Good luck with it!
