Chunk the 5in

This quad was very easy to build and even easier to set up in Betaflight after I had gotten past updating the drivers.

The ESCs connect to the FC in a very straight forward fashion. Past the 4 solder connections on the FC for each ESC and the battery terminal connections, I made 5 solder connections. 3 for the reciever and a power and ground for the VTX. The Fpv camera is run straight off the cable coming from the VTX.

Being the simpleton that I am, one of my favorite things about this quad is the fact that I can program the LEDs on the ESCs and that you can program them to play music on plug in.

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..
