I've always loved the Gep RC frame's and the Elegant is no exception. I thought the build was going to be much harder, but with the Racerstar ESC and Matek FC having signal pads on both sides made it easy. The only thing that I had to do was rotate the the gyro 180 degrees in Betaflight.
I set the rear adjustable LED's that came with the frame to flash blue in Betaflight. This worked out great with the blue CLRacing LED's mounted under each arm.that get brighter when you give some throttle.
I'll be looking foward to some late evening flights and some fall footage with this rig. I think it turned out great and I hope y'all like it as much as I do.

Beautiful looking build! I want to do a build with the same frame (but in the 7 inch variant) but I'm wondering how wide the arms are, for ESC mounting.
It would be great if you could measure the width of the arms for me! I can't find any info on it online.
Did you do a custom paintjob on the Hoot?
What do you think of the quality of the frame / carbon fiber? How hard was assembly (with the inverted board layout and all)?
I'm pretty interested in buying it, that's why I'm asking haha. Thanks!!

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..
