This quad is configured for 3D flying and carries rearview inverted camera. With this setup it's possible to fly inverted and backwards thereby utilizing the HD camera (Gopro Hero6/7) as a chase camera for additional perspective.
Matek F722-SE allows to connect two FPV cameras that can be switched between by a radio switch (radio is required to be configured for inverted flying by inverting Roll and Yaw channels).




AUW with GoPro Hero6 and 1800mAh 5S battery is 860g.
Built as a fast mid/long range surfer for aggressive mountain flights.

Sick build. Thanks for shaing with us. Are you using 2 immortal Ts with the CRSF diversity nano? Unclear what is inside the green antenna straw. What range and flight times have you pushed this to? Happy flying ....

pete_oz   Jul 28, 2019 

thank you. on the diversity nano I'm using 1x immortal-T (horizontally) and a 1x home made whip antenna (vertically, in that green straw). I didn't push it too far yet, furthest I went was 3.5km away with 1km altitude gain on 2800mAh 5S battery. flight time is hard to tell, depends on so many factors, normally I use 2200mAh 5S battery and pushing hard gives me about 5min in the air. on larger battery packs and flying conservative I should be able to stay in the air for 10min I guess.

been flying with this now for over a year, it can carry 4200mAh 6S Li-Ion battery with easy and with this setup (incl. GoPro Hero 7) I can fly 6km out with 2km altitude gain, the flight took 14 minutes.
