Awesome build! Super clean and what a great flight, so smooth! Ended up here trying to find reviews on the ESC you used, I think im sold, though mines for a flightone build, hopefully its not too noisy!

Do you mind showing/sharing how you made your pigtail so neatly tucked at the back. I'm waiting for mine to get to me ang I'll be building mine soon and I really love just how clean it looks. Plus, can you share where you got the 3d printed parts that you used. Thanks in advance.

Can you please share the final build weight?

Pretty cool build!

Looking at other builds of yours, it seems you might have experience with RunCam Micro Eagle. The latter is my primary FPV camera and I'd say it is superior to many other products, but having the ability to record in HD on a micro is very nice. Some of my mates fly with the first version of Split, and should say the FPV feed is plain horrible. Very choppy with poor dynamic range and noticeable feeling of being "disconnected" from the quad. So, if you used Micro Eagle, how does Split 2 do in comparison?

Oh I just love that little gecko frame! Really nice build and seems to fly well! 😊👍

What flight times do you get using these motors? How do you feel about them now that you have been using them? Nice build man!

between 3:30 and 4:00 on an 850 4s. First time using these motors, I've always used BH 1407 before. These are smoother and have power, but the response curve feels weird, especially in the bottom half of the throttle. Just need to get used to it I guess.

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..
