I started with an E-Sky Honey Bee (2008), WLtoys V959, WLtoys V303 (added telemetry and gimball) and a Parrot Bebop 2 FPV. And now my very first "self build quadcopter".

Main configuration:

  • 5" GEPRC LX5 Frame (alternative)
  • BetaFlight F4 controller
  • 4-in-1 35A ESC
  • 2600KV Motors
  • 3D printed cameramounts
  • 3D printed rooftop

I connected the Flit10 to the TX from UART1. Within Betaflight I configured UART 1 to be iBus.

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..
