My favourite "tiny whoop". You can also buy several different ready assembled versions at Banggood - this might be cheaper ;)

I like! How's the board and the esc's holding up? Someone told me mamba stacks are good but unreliable. I was also told the HGLRC is a better option. Your thoughts?

ICARU5 Oct 16, 2019

I'm a great Diatone/Mamba fan. In my opinion the product quality is superior to most competitors. I have/had several Mamba Stacks (bought by myself): F405 MK2, F405 Mini, F722S and my newest is a F722 Mini. I had never problems with them. But I have to mention that I do not fly much - I dont have enough time :(
Unfortunately I have no experience with HGLRC electronics, just with their frames. Frames are good, but I think the Diatone frames are better quality (their carbon fiber is imho better than Armattans). However, regarding ESC's I cannot judge. But I can compare to Lumenier. The F722 Mini Stack make look my Lumenier Micro LUX V3 F4 30A 20x20 Stack like a cheap chinese crap product ;)

Thanks for the feedback buddy. Much appreciated. I'm definitely going with the Diatone frame, for starters.

What flight time do you get with that battery?

ICARU5 Aug 05, 2019

4:30min down to 10,8V. I think you can get 5 fly min if you fly cozy.

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..
