This beautiful 2.5" iFlight Quad is my most recent, and second build. It was a change for me as my build before this was a 5". Finding the right frame, motor size, and camera was a new experience, so new that I even ordered a cam that was to big for the little rig.
The flight capabilities are amazing, the thick props and the 7500kv motors corner so nicely, love to roll, and dive perfectly. With the correct rates I believe this would make a great race quad, I currently have my rates set quite low for a more cinematic freestyle flight. It has such a smooth flow when flying and recieves little propwash. The freestyle capabilities make me smile everytime.

Haha so true, but the extra weight makes for one heck of a smooth flight

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..
