Tight fit.. with everything!
All TBS all awesome. not too sure about the antenna placement, i may change them if not satisfied. I opted for velcro for the battery restraint. Right now it is working out great.

ok, this thing is great! lots of power and small size. its like a mini 5" bad ass. i take it to an empty play yard and swoop like crazy on it. fun stuff!

Lots of fun, the motors are delicate. I bumped one into a pole and it is now broken. I have a new on on order. Not a big fan of the video, not sure if the problem is the antenna 'sticker', or the camera itself. I have a plan to replace each and see where the problem lies. I will report back once i have it all figured out. Also need to spend more time on the tune. I will post that once it is all done.

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..
