Hoverbot Vibe

here is the Vibe... I got this as the frame only... I really like how the Hoverbot team stepped it up with the new prop guard design vs. the Nano replacing the delrin break away brackets with CNC cut carbon epoxied to the base plate. I've only got a few flights but so far so good.

I went on the cheap and repurposed the FC, 4 in 1 and motors from my Makerfire Armor 67 I got last year https://m.gearbest.com/brushless-fpv-racer/pp_656021.html?lkid=10965348

Unfortunately, these boards are 20x20mm  and I had to screw around with some heat shrink to mount it. And in so doing, am limited to 37mm (1.5") props. However, that's what the Makerfire flew so, probably ok in the end.

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..
