X2 Elf 88mm Micro.

My first quadcopter build. I custom designed and printed the front camera mount for a Wolfwhoop P-1 Micro 5.8GHz AIO Camera. The camera mout and rear standoffs are 25mm tall, it needed to clear my Eachine 4in1 Flytower. You can download and print your own from the Thingiverse link below.

Even through the camera mount was designed for the Wolfwhoop P-1 Micro 5.8GHz AIO Camera it should also work for the Eachine TX05 AIO Camera or any other camera with the same lens diameter. The fit is snug and will stay secure.

I also put conformal silicone coating onto the electrontics as I fly early mornings when no one is around but there is a lot of dew on the ground. So far so good, no electrical issues.

nice dude! i love the camera mount! if you want to you can remove the buzzer from the flytower to lower the stack height quite a bit and then just use dshot beacon so that you can still get the beacon tone. ive found the dalprop 2035 props to be a lot stronger and better performance with a 400mah 3s, happy flying! Chech out my 'bravo' build its very similar :)

MotoRotor Jan 29, 2019

Thanks for the tips! Yeah i thought about lowering the stack height but it was just easier for me to raise the frame with the custom printed mounts. Plus i needed a way to secure the camera. I may think about lowering the stack height and frame after I crash it enough to rebuild. its already taken several crashed onto the sidewalk with barely a scratch and no broken props so it may be a while.

I really like the prop guards you installed. I'll have to print some for mine and try it out. :)

I really like this build, it looks so tidy!

MotoRotor Jan 27, 2019

Thanks! Soldering the motors to the bottom of the PDB was a pain but kept things really clean.

I'm thinking about a similar deal with my TBS Source One

Dope build, do you have any footage?

MotoRotor Jan 27, 2019

Not sure I want to post any flight videos...LOL I'm still learning to fly ACRO and crashing a lot...this is my starter rig.

i understand you dude!! same reason why i want to post videos yet hahaha

MotoRotor Jan 28, 2019

Yeah, I'm learning that these Gemfan props can take a beating! I crashed a bunch trying to fly acro and they end up bent but I just bend them back and I'm back in the air.

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
