  • Dinogy 1800mAh 80C 5S
    (potentially the frame can fit up to 4000mAh battery)

I decided to install the arms on top of the main plate, this reduced the stack height to 15mm but with AIO FC there is enough space (standard build is with the arms below the main plate). I just prefer as low profile build as possible for low CG at the cost of props in the view of HD camera (it's actually not that bad running at 40 degrees angle).

AUW with GoPro Hero6 and 1800mAh 5S battery is 820g.
Built as a mid/long range surfer it's actually quite agile quad even on a tight track.

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..
