Built this out for my racer brother. Kid rips with this power-friendly beast. This build uses floss-tier hyperlite 1407s on a stretch five inch ghost. Works great and is one of the most durable builds I have done, parts are in the post. Battery bumper you see attached to the strap is a custom design of mine, made from SLA resin (Formlabs Form 2). Very unique little guy here that I was compelled to share, because it has that prototype canopy on it from narmifpv. It is designed to allow for turtle mode with no fin, and great 3D aerodynamics (for air coming from front and also from edges of props, supposed to mean less hindrance to the props' effective force). Its made of TPU, which does appear to be better for vibration dampening for the camera as far as I can tell. He gave this to me awhile ago so the current design is probably much further along at this point, feel bad for getting around to it so late but, busy. Its held up well so far, but not sure if you will be able to get your hands on something like it... he said he may open an online shop last time we spoke. Hit up the comments if you like the look so I can give some feedback asap, thanks.

BrandonSDeLaCruz,
Was NarmiFPV able to get a hold of you about your purchase inquiry? You can find the most updated model of this canopy on his company's website, snapasils.com, its even sicker than this prototype it has a ton of programmable leds and is lighter and has a better aero profile....

That's a sick design.  I like it alot.  I would need to make a small change and make the camera adjustable. Seems it could be an easy enough mod.  Definitely send it!!!!!

...do you carry it around by the canopy like a suit-case handle?

Ah, yes, much creative... but idk it kinda makes sense to me (birds don't have shark fins right)... he rocks it, and I have to say, it does look very ominous in the air, like an alien coming at you

Thats f'n sweet. Whats the camera angle like? If it

For this particular canopy I think it was 55 degrees, probably because The RCAddict runs a similar tilt and this is his old frame....

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..
