California Quads FB-01 Tekko32 XSRF4O

Since the XSRF4O does not have a BEC, both the FPV camera and the FC are powered from the the VTX's 5V@1A SBEC. This could be improved with powering the FPV camera from Vbat. There may be enough 5V juice left over to add some LEDs.

For an even cleaner build, the Matek VTX is mounted into the rear standoffs. The wiring mess went between the ESC and FC. Both the 4in1 ESC and the FC are softmounted using 2.5mm O-rings on 24mm long M3 bolts which reach to just under the top plate. The XSRF40 has M4 openings for complete vibration isolation from the mounting bolts using silicon M4-to-M3 inserts.

you know you can put the battery sideways, and then run the gopro on top of the tpu pod, right?

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..
