HEY! Are you tired of battery sag? So was I! This is the product-- The "Finch 3" -- Responsive and consistent throughout the up to 4 minute flight times on 3s 650mAh GNB batteries (3 minutes uses about 450mAh) with no sag or fade whatsoever. Best still is it comes in under 240g (this means weight for a split cam if you have the extra change and want to figure out how to fit it)!
Build notes:
-Stock motor screws are a little short for comfort, "borrowed" some longer ones from my avenger motors--Don't forget the loctite!
-Antenna is a little floppy and has resulted in several prop strikes-- bending the antenna more upright has temporarily fixed the issue along with a bit of tape around the antenna through the hole in the back of the frame.
-sorry for messy wires, still working on cleaner building
Video with the 25mW setting (forgot to change it for todays flight):
Enjoy!

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..
