This started as a Bflight 210; the rest is a saga of unfortunate events that led me to replace the camera, frame, motors, ESC, and eventually switched back to 1 bflight motor.

It's not pretty but flies alright when it doesn't desync.

A scary build you can't rely on

Only the frame ensures most of the hardware stays protected

3/10 would not recommend

But it's mine and I love it

The lens is well tucked in behind the titanium cage; what you're seeing is the lens hood I made to improve contrast on bright days ;)

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. 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..
