I usually add edits at the bottom but i just want people to read this.
The shutterbug formula is AWESOME. If it wasn't for the shadow of the toothpick craze the shutterbug would be the current hype. It is super well behaved flier. motor size and KV and prop size are a PERFECT match for this weight. meaning it is power yet efficient. If you're looking to build an outdoor whoop, do look into a shutterbug!
after seeing the shutterbugs in IGOW kill it with the entries (i was struggling with my brushed and hacked 2s whoop) i decided to make something similar with spare parts i had. i just had to buy the beta85x frame which is actually a very nice frame
could do with lighter motors but lets see how well these parts bin motors will do first!
The FC is a crazy cheap $20 that looks a bit suspect with a diode stacked on top of the capacitors. looks like it works though as it passed the living room hover.
recycled the old mobula7 canopy and aio cam that was disassembled for a toothpick. receiver is an un-named diversity dsmx

Hey,
I have had those motors for ages and always was afraid to put them on 6A or less esc-s. Does the 5A AIO stuff hol up?
How did that flight controller hold up?
i have a 1s toothpick built with the jmt play and its been a blast to fly but today one of tge motors got stuck and then everything went dead motor wise. I think the control might be toast? To much amps from a stuck motor?
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..

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..

Sweet!! I got an insta360 go this last week an im gonna be building and 85x up for it!!
Did you ever get the voltage to read with your fc?
weird, I don't remember having issues with it...but looking at the two videos posted in this build we are commenting, the first video I had no voltage reading...but in the second video I do...so apparently I got it working?
I can plug in and get you the firmware and a dump if you'd like
Are you using board type AIRB/NOX?
That's what I'm currently running. version 4.2.2
Ill check thanks for the info! Im running NOX but nit sure what version
