Ummagawd created a miniquad that doesn’t intimidate newcomers, and doesn’t disappoint seasoned FPV pilots. A balance of size, budget and fun-factor, that encourages anyone to create awesome HD FPV videos, without risking expensive equipment, breaking laws, or scaring spectators.

Design Goals:

  1. Deliver an HD freestyle quad for less than the price of a gopro session 5 (at the time $299)
  2. A 3” quad that feels and flies like a 5”
  3. Uses the runcam split mini, but mitigates the jello issues that the split is prone to all in a package that is fairly durable and not intimidating for the pilot or spectators

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..
