Killed the space one frame, and also nuked 3 ESCs and the Runcam Split 2...so this is the phoenix from the ashes. AUW of the quad is 512g.

How is the performance of that lipo? Might want to get that one!

I've really only had time for one flight out with it, and that was with a really bad VTx antenna, so I didn't push it very much. So far, it seems pretty good, but 1-2 tame flights really isn't enough to make a determination. The price was definitely right. I'll post more as I get to fly it more.

The accelerometer recorded 7G's+ on a full throttle punchout so I think they give excellent value for the money.

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..
