I wasn't happy with my previous setup on this quad so I decided to completely rebuild it.
As usual I like to keep things simple and also prefer to use 4 separate ESCs rather than a 4-in-1 when possible.
I've been seeing a lot of positive things about the Helio Spring flight controller so I picked up the AIO for this rebuild. The rest of the electronics consist of a Runcam Split 2, Spedix ES30HV ESCs, Eachine VTX03 with an SMA pigtail, Lumenier AXII antenna and a Lemon RX DSMX satellite.
I used some Kapton tape to protect the ribbon cable and components on the top of the Split 2 board from being damaged by the battery strap.
AUW is 358.4 grams without a battery. I only use full throttle in short bursts so the motors stay pretty cool.

Current BiS
Best in slot (referring to items you can equip in world of warcraft). When that, or many other games, release an expansion often poeople will decide what the ideal item set would be from what's new/available. You might post that to your raid leader as "BiS" indicating your prefrence for when loot would be distributed. You might also fiend and grind for hours to get said loot, and potentially rage quit when getting outrolled for said gear for many weeks.
Hi, love the golden aspect of the camera cage....how did you do that?? really interested in doing this for my golden chameleon!!!
Nice build. From where you got this Split2 camera mount and how it´s called? Looking for that to upgrade to my Rooster build I've posted here as well.

In late 2019 DJI made inroads into the FPV scene with their remarkable low-latency digital system. It gave us a 720p video feed with latency on-par with the status quo, analog video. Traditionally we've used analog video systems for low-latency video, but the video quality is far from ideal. It's a trade-off we've been willing to accept for the control. Now we've got the best of both worlds and what..

When the FatShark HDOs hit the market in 2018 the FPV community rejoiced for the new Sony OLED displays. While they lacked further upgrades like an updated DVR and power button they were still a market success. With the 2019 announcement of the Orqa FPV.One the community finally had a potential HDO killer on the horizon. With only weeks before the release of the Orqa FPV.One Skyzone came out of left..

Ah, the one that used to be your 'Tangerine' build? Very nice. Any idea where I could get a rear SMA brace like yours if I don't have a 3D printer? I like running my battery lead out the back too, and I don't think I'll be able to with the stock CF plate.
Thank you, PM me if you want and I can get one sent out to you.
