This is my first build to start FPV.
My goal was to stay below 250grams .. this didnt work well as you see on the picture (even without cam and vtx) .
ESC and Motors are budget versions, but they work well for beginning.
update:
I exchanged the 4in1 ESC with Josh Bardwell's 4in1 32Bit ESC due to a stuttering motor. Now it runs more smooth.
I also tried other props (HQ3x4x3) for more smoothness.

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!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

If you like, leave out the topplate and standoffs and you save about 20 g. Battery strap can be fixed between fc and lower plate.
All other parts, except the vtx antenna is inside the virtual frame of arms and motors. Its unlikely that you have a damage in these parts. You have chosen a very solid frame with 4 mm. That should be enough for a 79 Joule of impact energy. If you want you can protect the fc from contact with a 30x30 plate.
thanks JB, this could be a good idea to get the weight below 250g as this was my goal :)
You're welcome, but make sure that no wires can be ripped off when flying close to obstacles like trees or bushes.
