A nice slimline version of the Matian II frame (20mm spacers) based on the Wizard Killer Mark III.

I upgraded the FC to an F4 board from that build for future flexibility and changed the VTX

Also note, this is my first ever build. And I'm already addicted and planning the next.

I could just build and build without flying even!

Funnily enough, I think you're not alone. I love the building side of things. I like the problem solving of how to fit all the equipment in such a small place, really satisfying when you achieve it lol

I love the research, the sourcing, the arrival, and the whole build. The mistakes on this one are lessons learnt for the next build.

Eachine VTX02, I bumped it up to the VTX03 for the replacement.

Whiffles   Jan 15, 2019 

Ahh yep, those all require 5v. Did you end up pulling power from the flight controller?

Yeah, it has a pad dedicated to it, so just soldered on to that.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..
