Razorback (Beginner Budget Setup)

My first ever build, it's pretty decent. Inspired by KababFPV's and The RCAddict's cheapest quad worth building.

Build video I used, make sure to use in conjunction with the FC schematics.
This is how I set up Betaflight.
My PIDs and filter settings

Updated part list if I were to build this today (6S): https://rotorbuilds.com/build/20942

Notes & What I'd do Differently:

  1. The batteries for the quad can be used for the goggles I chose, so I just rotate all batteries around.
  2. If you've got some extra cash to spend KababFPV now recommends the iFlight Xing-E 2306 motors for a few dollars more.
  3. Good props are: Gemfan 51433, Nazgul 5140, DAL Nepal N1.
  4. Getting a nylon standoff kit with shorter sizes is better. The one I purchased has too many useless long standoffs. I'd get this.
  5. Get the ISDT Q6 Pro and Lantian power supply bundle instead.

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..
