This is my first Armattan frame to use. I really like the Chameleon TI and the addons that are available on Thingiverse make it complete.
Here are some thingiverse links that work for me:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Thanks to these awesome thingiverse creators I was able to create this build.

The old parts that are used with this frame where from my first build. Altough, these parts are a little old I am really impressed by the performance of this heavy freestyle kwad. With allot of printed addons, this thing is build like a tank. Add a heavy gopro to the mix an you have yourself a flying brick. With the awesome power of four 2700Kv brotherhobby motors, the kwad is able to do some crazy moves(AMPS). This all is supported with a sleek braided cable look and a nice 4IN1 40 amp ESC from X-Rotor. The connection between the flight controller and the ESC is done by a hidden connector between the two boards, which makes it look really clean. The whole system is connected with a TBS Crossfire Nano Rx to keep out the failsafes. All the electronics are housed in the insanly strong Armattan Chameleon TI frame. This kwad lives up to it's name, The Red Tank.

Don't hesitate to ask me something. ;)
Cheers!

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..
