Edit: V6, added prop guards I designed and printed myself.
Edit: Now a V5, took out the Runcam Nano Split, added Gopro Session 5 + GPS mount +
Edit: Now a V4, with custom camera mounts to fight jello and an iFlight F4 FC.
Edit: Added a V3, now with Flywoo's 1404 3750kv motors. Flies great and motors are barely warm. But now getting some jello issues on the Split 3
Edit: Added a V2 of the build, which is closer to my original intention of making this a quick longrange micro rig. Tried a few 3" biblade props, but these motors seem to not like them very much and overheats. Still tuning, but it pretty stable for a 3" quad. Will probably try higher capacity batteries and see what it does to flight time and stability. The main objective is to have footage similar to a 7" with Gopro (I wish!)
The idea was to build an HD ultralight 3" using 1106 motors as a base, but without the flimsiness of a toothpick build, The frame looked weird initially, but once built up it feels very stiff and makes for a solid build.
168g dry weight (V4)
269g AUW with 850mah 4S (V4)
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..
Read moreWith 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..

Did the mounts solve the jello? I'm considering this frame since it seems to have good reviews, but I'm concerned about the jello.
tried many things, the best way is to nudge a piece of foam between the cam and the bottom plate. My current version of this build uses a Hero 5 now haha.
Thanks man....I think I'll spend extra and go with the GEPRC Cygnet instead
my main reason for choosing this frame (was looking at the Cygnet also) was the weight. I can cruise nearly 9-10mins with this setup with an 850mah 4s.
Wow!...That's a game changer, for sure. Thanks! Where did you find the tpu for the the camera mount?
Yup. I designed that mount (in the main picture) myself. Printed it using PLA+, and it seems to work fine.
Unfortunately, I don't have a printer; nevertheless, thanks for all the feedback. You've definitely impacted my decision to go the with the flyfox, which was my first choice. Thanks again and happy flying!
I ordered the frame too and I like your self designed camera mount. Would you provide the print file? That would be great!

Thank you very much! :)
