AstroX x5 JohnnyFPV edition
Continuing on my AstroX journey, classic "bus" style freestyle frame refined with skinny arms (5,5mm think) and pretty smart 1 bolt arm attachement.
Unfortunately the stack is not independant to arm bolts.
Beware, the landing skid with 5,5mm arms requires M3x10mm bolts (not included in the kit)
Time will tell if this plastic is worth the price or its better to go TPU 3D printed parts

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..
