got my hands on one of these unicorns!
transplanted my long range 2.5" into this frame. with lightweight 3" props, the rs1106 4500kv motors should be fine. plus going from a bottom to top mount which I prefer.
at 122g its really light for a 3"!
the gopro lens doesnt change the FOV much but it does bring the lens forward enough that the standoffs are out of view. just not much protection out there.
Update 6 May 2019
Got a few packs in. Below is one of the packs. Love how this flies and light enough that there isn't much noise. Could use a wider stator motor like a 1206 or a 1304.
Update 10 August 2019
updated the v1 Turtle with firmware that supposed to remove the low lighting stripe artefacts in the corners. Took the bird out on a cloudy day and then the sun came out so didn't fully test if the firmware update worked. Very windy day, raw footage, mute the audio!

swapped out turtle for tarsier, only 1g more! That gopro lens is heavy glass. tidied up the wiring and vtx/antenna mounting.

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..

Ah yes, one of my favourites. I added a link to superflyfpv that just got stock! They have it in beautiful t700 carbon too!! (like the marmotte)
