I wanted to have two similar builds and the hyperlite frames are a good price with a nice design, not overloaded with weight, with readily available and cheap replacement arms.

I got the caddx 16x9 cams bc i use aomway commander goggles... The one thing id upgrade would be esc's for some DYS Aria's perhaps. The racerstar esc's perform well enough for me though...

those Wu motors blew up on me. the bells slipped on a few... i gave up on them. first time for this type of systematic failure, ive damaged motors before, but never had several of the same motors all get the same issue at the same time... dys had been pretty good for me so far. its been a while since i got them, but i think i got them around when they came out, and i read that others had issues and DYS MIGHT have fixed the issue, but im not 100% on that. using racer star 2205 2600kv currently on the build along with a new JB f4 fc... fried the CLR F4s.

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..
