A Christmas gift built out with old parts that needed a rebirth.

01/13/19 - Motors screwed on, added Emax Mini Magnum F3 stack, Foxeer Arrow Micro, and zip tied the RX down. I need a VTX and I may add DVR

01/20/19 - I soldered in all the motor wires, RX, VTX, Camera, and DVR. buttoned it up and tried to power on. The FC wouldn't initiate and I had no LEDs on anything. I either killed it or overloaded the regulator. I took it apart and moved the cam to Lipo. That was enough to power the FC, RX, VTX, and DVR. There is a hole in the top of the canopy meant for a buzzer. I drilled it out and snuck my VTX dipole through it.

01/26/19 - I tried to take off with my Hip Hop Bunny. It deathrolled but immediately on takeoff. I realized I have the FC in a -90 position and forgot to rotate it. This is stupendously annoying since the USB is now at the rear of the stack and buried behind my VTX and the DVR chip. I opened it all back up and changed the orientation. The front nuts/screws for this thing are so annoying to install/reinstall. That's my main and only real gripe with this frame.

03/07/19 - Dismantled this. Fun experiment but not much fun to fly.

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..
