This is probably the best middle ground between a Tiny Whoop and a mini pushing 5inch+ props. I can fly where my mini can't and the tiny whoop is still better for indoor slow stuff.

You can drop the build price by almost $50 if you go for the cheaper DYS BE1104 from banggood and some 10A ESC. I went with the more pricey Furious ESC cause I really wanted to try Blheli_S and wanted fast shipping.

AUW with 2S 500mAh: 110g
AUW no lipo: 80g

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..
