Tired of propwash? Try this build.
Small, fast, with LED and cheap.

Modified a 3DPOWER frame to fit in the FC/ESC without standoffs
Cut out the "center" part of the old trashcan frame as battery holder
Cut the sides of the trashcan LED board and cram it under the hood
Cut the bottom half of the camera protection (props come very near it).
(while you are at it, upgrade to TX30)
Sandwitch everything together with M2 Bolts and nuts: From bottom: Battery tray, Carbon frame, FC/ESC, VTX, hood.

Enjoy!

Weighed the trashcan after mod and it says its at 37g vs, BGood site says 33g stock, so not bad. I also added a bigmac ufl antenna. Definitely helped with washout I think, haven't tested a ton because I broke a few props lol, but I did do a couple dives and it was good.

Did you drill the holes to mount the motors and if so did it matter exactly how you did it? I assume you did, but was just wondering.
EDIT: comes pre-drilled, pretty neat, ordered the frame.

Does this frame help with the jello? I've got a Trashcan and the jello is what kills it for me.

Samw85 May 18, 2019

I think the reason for jello is the canopy, not the frame.
It definitely will not get worse with the carbon frame :)

Whiffles May 18, 2019

I think so. I'm going to try jamming some paper or something under the cam to see if that helps.

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..

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..
