My goal with this build was to build a 6S 6inch all around build. I can put on 6 inch bi blade props for some mountian cruising or put on 5 inch tri blade props for proximity and freestyle. I also like the way 6 inch carries a gopro for cinematic flying. It took some time but I finally have to tune dialed in and the build is flying reliably. With a 1300mah battery I can fly for 3-4 minutes if I'm flying hard but if I just cruise I can stretch it out to almost 7 min and cover about 4 miles of ground. All up wieght is about 745 grams.

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..
