I tried to go with light components to keep the weight down.
Haven't yet had the guts to remove the motor connectors :)
Camera mount based on a brilliant idea from here : https://www.facebook.com/groups/tinywhoop/permalink/2257438061143863/
Can't seem to remember where I got the vtx. I'll update this when I find out.
Comes to a weight of 19.8g without the battery.
Flies wonderfully ! :)

I don't know, haven't time it and I just got a new lighter vtx which I tried to put in, but it's not powering on for the moment but as soon as I get it flying again, I'll time it for you.
Glad you like it

Thanks :)
I'm not proud of my flying skills, plus my father crashed a bit hard lens first so the image isn't that nice, but I'll try to record something :)

Looks very cool! Unfortunately, the Facebook link didn't work for me. What exactly is the camera mount? It looks like it's constructed from zip ties. Is it sturdy enough? It doesn't take much to jello CMOS video

Great! Do you think you can add more pictures that show details of the mount construction? Thanks!

I think I have figured it out. It's just a zip tie cut along its length! Pretty simple!

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..
