This started out as another "Budget Build" but I decided to change it up, upgrade a few things and turn this into a reliable beast. I love the form factor of the Goby, from the moment I saw the first build, I knew I had to tackle it. The TPU Accents really make the build much easier, and much more durable now, just look at how much the Antenna Holder flexes! Coming from a RD290 Hex that well, was underwhelming(think 3s 1806), I think this thing is gonna be a kick in the pants!

Did you solder on wires onto the ECO X PDB instead of the XT60 plug that they provided? Right now, the only thing that's putting me off from getting one of those is that if I were to mount batteries underneath it, connecting the plugs together is going to be a hassle.

Yeah. I didnt want to run the risk of breaking the pdb if my battery ejected. Plus you can ziptie the wires to the frame before the plug too, protecting the connection to the pdb even more.

So that antenna mount is flexible? If so, neat!

I don't have a build that can use one at the moment, but thank you for the offer!

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..
