Smaller is better....😉

Small and light that was my goal.
after a bad crash with my happymodel mantis85 I had to replace the fc, the frame and tried the impossible to include a micro cam inside this build.  It wasn't easy to include everything inside this tiny space and had to change the concept a few time but I did it.
perfect to fly in a park , it's fast and pretty responsive.

We are neighbours on the build page, with the same quad.
So I thought I say hello.
Flies nice, doesn't it? I had no high expectations, so it kind of baffled me, the first time I flew it. Video is also on my build page.
Lol

You used 1102 motors. How high is the kV?
10000?

1102 9000kv... don't know if it's possible more than 1 flight...

But don't upgrade it. Get the Eyas X-3 frame. That can take a HGLRC XJB- F425 stack and spin 3" props.
I also build that and you can put on a different 3D printed topplate that fits an SQ-12 HD camera.
It's on my builds page. I used 1105 - 6000kV motors and 3 inch props.
I sold it, but it was a rocket

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..
