The Mini Jaeger

I tired to make this my first clean build. The trick is to have a nice stack. This is my second build, the first being a 5in prop. I like this build because of its small size but massive power. There were a couple things I would have liked changed, and I may do them.

The VTX antenna sticks out. If I rotate the board then I hit the camera. If I changed it to the back then I have no room. So far the antenna hasn't got in the way.
The motor wires are not long enough to reach the ESC. I had to solder new wires just to reach. It was only for a few mm.

I love the VTx and Camera combo. The quality is great! I will continue to buy the stack-able VTx. It makes your build very clean.

Hi nice build what is the weight without battery? I am looking for something under 250 g with a split and tiny GPS any adivice?

Hard to believe. .massive power, when your running 1306 motors with a 1300mah 3s battery.

When your running such a small lightweight quad with nice Emax motors, you would be surprised on how much performance you can get out of it. Try it out.

Still not sure...but if it works for you, it works for me....keep building:)

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..
