Hey guys,

My goal was to build something small enough to be inconspicuous, but fast enough to do some freestyle. The build was a bit tight but it's one of my cleanest so far.

Frame:
Brushless Speck from RotoriousFPV. Carbon and cut is super high quality. Its 15g and a super strong for the weight.
This frame is primarily for 2". If you keep the flight stack low, you have enough room for 2.3" within the standoffs.

Motors:
Potentially under propping the motors a bit, but its not super noticeable on the 2.3". The exta 1mm of height helps clear the flightstack too.

Props:
These Avans are working really well for me. They're not quite as punchy as the GF2540s, but they're balanced well and fairly durable.

Size:
2" is too weight conscious, and 2.5" has a habit of being as big as the 3".
2.3" is a nice warm middle for me. Could
have definitely saved some weight on this build, but handles it well.

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..
