The Japalura

By KaityLynn on Mar 24, 2018

5 305 0

This is a build based around the Armattan Japalura 3" frame. Originally considered 4000kv + motors, but instead settled on 3600kv motors. This craft is powered by 4S, my favorites being 700mah graphene type.

After trying all of the available props for 3" builds, I have settled on Lumenier's offering...the 3x4x3 V2's. Also updated the RX to a 900mhz R9MM flashed to F.Port. Plenty tough and awesome control.

Update 2021-02-20: The Bardwell F4 has died and so the FC is being replaced. Choosing to go with the Matek F722SE. Also shifting it over to Crossfire.

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..
