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.

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..
