TBS First 5” One

This is my first 5” build.
Based on a robust and reliable construction, i tried to make the model as easy to repair as possible.

The final result was very good, having been quite balanced in weight vs power.

Using the default PIDs, I have some vibrations, although nothing extraordinary, but it has to be solved. Still missing a support for a HERO4 silver.

EDIT1:
now with gopro support
support was made manually at the milling machine to avoid costs with 3D printers. There were several materials to choose from, PTFE, nylon, bakelite, I chose PVC 5mm because it was easier to machine

EDIT2:
Now with Frsky reciever

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..
