What if you could have all the fun and features of a miniquad, but with all the fearless flying and crash tolerance of a Tiny Whoop? That is exactly why I made this build. This is 4.5g heavier but more feature rich than my "fiishTank" . This build is 42.1g dry and 66.5g AUW.
I tried to make this build fairly servicable, and also resiliant. Everything is conformal coated to avoid any wet grass issues. My custom camera mount at helps protect during inverted crashes, and securely holds the camera and VTX together.
"Medium" Range Micro Features:
25mW/50mW VTX extending range way beyond what a whoop style AIO camera/vtx can do.
R-XSR w/diversity for amazing range.
5+ minute flight times.
Never break a prop again!
Mini Quad Features, shoved into a Micro:
F4
Soft mounted FC
Betaflight OSD
Awesome Camera
Smart Audio VTX
Gobs of punch!

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..
