I wanted to build a 3 inch drone which i could fly in parks and have 1080p@60fps video recording so i came up with these parts for best power and video recording.
I chose to use the split2 as it is very lightweight and wont effect the flight characteristics too much. I chose the frame as it was specified that it was designed to accommodate the runcam split 2. I used the stock antenna as it is more rugged then any other cp antenna. It is crucial that you use the f4s from racerstar as its usb is located in the back of the quad as usualy the front is cluttered with wires so you can change pids and settings without dismantling the whole quad. I am only using the f20s from T-Motor as i have been using their products and i know that they always have the best motors and they are never affraid to do updates on their products.
In the misc part you will see a 3M velcro like fastener i use that too fasten my batteries to the quad i just stick them on and they work like a charm, i have even used them on my 5 inch setups and i was never able to get a battery to fly away when doing flips and tricks. You should use that velcro for every build you do i also use them to mount the quads on my wall.

Nice build! Would love to see a flight video. Can you see the props in the camera?

With 3 inch builds the props getting in the shot is always the case. I have found a better frame for recording flight footage but the flight characteristics are worse than this one. The frame is in the link:

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! 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..
