This is my first somewhat premium build. I wanted to have some good performance but really I wanted to take my time choosing parts to get a rock solid, super clean build.
Build Notes:
I rotated the 4-in-1 ESC 180° so I could run the battery lead out the front by the camera. I really like the way this turned out because it keeps the cable completely away from the props. I also left the wires long so I could put the battery with the plug coming out the back and then over the top of the battery to connect it up. I might still cut it a little shorter though. I just swapped the pins in the wiring harness for the motors to fix the ordering.
The other thing to note is that I had a friend design a mount for the VTX. The frame is pretty low profile and the standoffs I had didn't leave me any room to put it in the main stack so I added the mount at the back. That also gave me a nice little pocket for the R-XSR receiver to fit in.

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..
