how is the latency?
is the camera ok for racing?

What's the AUW with the 850mAh and 650mAh batteries?
Looking to build <250g setup.
Did you install a capacitor?

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..
