My take on a budget 5" build. I'm super happy about it!! So pretty and flies really well.

The first version of this build was based on the danish Lil Mofo Prototype though: http://fpvgear.dk/drone/rammer/lil-mofo/
Wanted to try the Awesome frame instead, and I'm super happy with the more freestyle-oriented layout being more H-shaped.

On the Awesome frame. There's something weird in the production. One of the 4 holes for mounting the arms is too big which makes it really hard to mount the arm in a robust way. I'd inqure Banggood about this before buying. Photos of the frame: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DVXFspFJTdECeQmc8

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..
