Super Light with R9 "Red Widow V2"

By robbson on Apr 20, 2019

This is version 2 of my super light 2S whoop.

After the failure with the initial version, which you can find here
https://rotorbuilds.com/build/16060
I decided to rebuild it and kick it up a notch.

This time I designed my own frame since there is nothing decent I can source locally.
https://github.com/quad-one/widow
Most important feature for me is the accessible USB port. This was a issue for all the other frames of this class.
If you have any ideas or want it to fit on other AIO boards, it's a open source project. Feel free to contribute!

The little thing now have a TBS Nano Pro32 and a Caddy EOS2 which is a huge step up from the previous AIO Cam.

AUW: 67g

Here a flight video with the 100mm frame version.
Follow me on YT if you want to see updates on this little thing!
Thanks!

Nice build! Looking to use the same board also, however I ran into a problem where ESC no3. is not recignised in blheli (and to motor does not spin up). Could list the motor resources you are set on in BF?

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
