     At a touch over 230g AUW, this 3" is no light weight even tho this is the "Lite" version of the frame.  I know.....I know, "230g with 1404 3850kv!? Heck naw!" and I would agree with that if I was looking for total agility and high-speed. however, I was not looking for a rocket . I wanted a sub 250g build that would record HD, be competent with smooth acro, and last nearly minutes.
      With the exception of the 3D printed parts, battery, props, buzzer and some of the hardware, this is what comes in the DIY kit.  The Turtle V2 was not available from Airblade when I ordered the kit (maybe it is now). It came with a nice vtx antenna mount, but I used my own.  I also needed spacers to mount the 19mm wide camera into the 20mm space.  I've suggested that these spacers be included.

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..
