Got the FlosStyle frame from the frame drop. Finally getting around to building it thanks to the 4th of July sales.

First 6s build, as well as my first build using the R9M lite and the R9mini.

Friend printed the arm guards, antenna and gopro mounts. Decieded to use a different GoPro Mount.

did you have any troubles mounting the fc? on my frame the arms partially block one set of the screen holes...

Cotees   Aug 01, 2018 

I mounted my Fc on the back, all the holes were accessable. Looks like maybe the front 20x20 has some holes covered up.

have you noticed any weird fight characteristics with the fc off center like that? im building the same frame. there are almost too many mounting options lol

sadly havnt done more than a hover in my room. Since i don't use the accelerometer the placement shlouldn't have any real effect. I'll report back after it's maiden flight.

Can confirm felt nothing strange about the FC placement.

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..
