Bro i was actually considering doing this exact build with the marmotte and the tarsier!! But im a little hesitant on the durability of the camera system, because i was planning on making this my basher quad that doesn't need a gopro bc of the tarsier (gopros more prone to break because they arent protected by the marmotte cage. how has the camera held up to bashing? do you think it would hold up well to bashing?

Really nice, clean build! I'm about to build a QAV-R 2, considering the Tarsier. Have you been happy with it? Seems like a great way to save $300 not having to buy a GoPro. I don't have a YouTube channel so the video doesn't have to be awe inspiring lol, is it good enough though as an FPV cam/HD combo?

The Tarsier has been great. I only have it set to 1080P 60fps and the video is really impressive. My session is still better with colors and seems smoother in fast transitions, but not enought to justify the weight and how easily they get damaged. (I broke two so far)

Very cool, sounds perfect. I can't wait to get one on a quad.

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
