I built a twin of my new favorite frame, the Floss 2.1. I'm using Kevlar arms on the front, standard on the backs. I also came up with an interesting way of mounting two 470uf caps on the back in a V using wafl's cap caps. Inspired by catching a big a$$ dragon fly in that spot the other day while practicing.

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..
