I smashed my SplitMiniShark into a sign and crushed the lens and sensor housing. Runcam was really nice about mailing me just the orange plastic bits for $8 even though they don’t list them on site. I was going to just fix the SplitMiniShark, but around the same time I saw the CADDX Turtlet, and was intrigued. I also had some other things I wanted to try out, so I decided to put them all on this build. Between this and the SplitMiniShark, I’ve used R9Mini, Slim, and Slim+ with every possible combination of stock, T, and PCB antennas. I’m sticking with the T/PCB combo for the best balance of signal, durability, and of course looks. ;) Dual XF-Race antennas worked really well for neighborhood penetration and general freestyle derping.
Everything but the frame(though they do carry it) and TBS antennas came from RDQ. I love that place :)
Some test footage of the Turtlet. It arrived out of focus and I still haven't got it just right. Also still tuning this, it flies smoother with the rotorx props.

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..
