I lost my beloved Featherlight Falcon project in a marsh. I was never able to locate it, likely because it was all black. As cool as that looks, I won't make that mistake with this one. Originally designed for the Featherlight series of frames, the falcon pod is just flexible enough as is to work on the 5" kingcrab frame. :)

Looks great!! A unique AND useful pod design. Are the props out of view with the camera that far forward??

Thanks! Session and Split Mini FPV feed are prop free, but there are props just barely in view in the split footage. You can see examples of all three in the videos above. The Split HD footage is the stuff with the dark vignette of tpu around the outside.

I love the new color!!! Sad you lost the first one, but I just can't get enough of the design! I love the new "ears" and I wonder if you will bother strapping a gopro back on it, with the split in there and all

I've flown it just to see if the orange plastic flexed differently and possibly induced some jello, but things are looking good. I will be using mine for long range flights more than freestyle, so the gopro won't be riding often.

Thanks! It's my favorite thing I have made for quads. I want to do more with it. There's really benefits to the shape and a lot more potential.

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..
