My recent Hyperlow Vert Freestyle build.
The build itself was pretty tight but still straightforward. I really wanted to do the thing in the 10mm height setting and even then encountered brief trouble properly softmounting the Asgard, as the rubber standoffs I would normally use did not fit properly. I overcame my hesitation of widening the mounting holes of the AiO with a drill and put some raceflight gummies in. Sits tight on the screws, so no need to tighten it down. At first I was planning on placing the board witht he power connector solder pads facing out sideways, but could not fit my VTX in with that configuration, so I ended up turning it sideways. Got the XM+ tucked in behind the fpv cam now and the Tramp sitting flush sideways in the back.
Turned out decently clean after all and was a really fun build.
As for the first flights I was pretty confident in this being relatively noise free so I ended up having all notches disabled on the maiden with the dynamic filter on. And it was smooth on the very first flight. Later realized I had forgotten to include a capacitor, but worked out fine so far. The only thing it might still need now is a proper GoPro mount as I am not entirely happy with the velcro solution.
The attached video here is at sth like the 8th battery with not much done tuning wise. I did not expect this to feel that much different from my previous quads with the same FC and motor configuration, but it did. This being my first stretch X definitely makes it require some getting used to as it responds in an entirely different way than what I am used to not only due to the shape but also or mainly the perfect center of gravity.
To sum it up I just freakin love the thing.

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..

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..
