Pretty easy build that required the front motor wires to be strung under the vtx to the back of quad to the ESC...
Really like the FrSKY 900MHz Ipex4 Dipole T Antenna for R9 Mini / R9 MM Receiver, seems so springy and durable...
Went with Toilet Tank battery configuration which seemed like a simpler way to connect the battery to the XT30 power connector...
Used the FC Anti-Vibration Standoff Soft Mount Set M2x5 + 4 20x20 under the boards to have little give in crash...
GIven there was almost 2mm between the Caddx Turtle and the front side plates that hold the camera I was able to put some very thin rubber spacers to maybe give a little dampening effect to perhaps lesson any jello in video...
Choose the Brat motors cause there suppose to vibrate less for less jello and better video...
Installed latest butterflight with stock settings...
I choose f-port firmware for the R9 reciever and a 470uf capacitor...
Used small piece of UMMAGRIP to hold the battery greater...

Weight: 168gm w/ props.
Battery: 650 4S Tattu battery 70gms...

Think as a beginner this is my coolest build so far as it's really pretty and seems to have all the coolest aspects in a 3" for freestyle...

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
