On the road in Florida for three months trip with my familly (in a small van) I had need to find something to do after the beach, BBQ or both ;)
So I grabed a beer and some small drone parts from GetFPV and build my second drone ever. The first one (Transtec Frog) was a desaster. So many damages after small crashes. I still have dificulties with it. I’m alway on repair mode. (I don’t use Banggood parts anymore)
Bumblebee was easy to build and easy to fly but the hardest thing to manage was the battery strap. I finaly built it with a small plastic piece from yogurt container.

The first Lumenier 2.2x3 micro propeller that I cut blades at 2 inches was really unstable to fly so I used RotorX RX1940SB (three blades).

The T-motor F10 are spectacular, good torque and not too loud.

The frame is a bit too fragile for me and my skill. After about 20 Lipo some carbon pieces are broke. Still able to fly I have a lot of fun with my kids. I glued it with Gorilla glue.

Let me know what you think.

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..
