Mobula 7 frame
Runcam nano2 2.1mm
Diamond VTX (onboard dvr)
i had a sailfly x but the camera angle was too fast and i wanted something that could go far and record good video so i changed to a great camera the runcam nano 2 and a 200mw vtx the happymodel diamond which also has onboard dvr. this is the first time using it it seems to record pretty good although when it changes files (every 2 minutes) it drops some frames... the good thing is that it starts recording automatically so i dont have to press any button... it sometimes drops frames on lots of fast motion and also doesnt keep a steady 30fps all the time. its not great but not bad. i put the sailfly x parts into a mobula 7 frame with the upgraded camera and vtx and with those motors in that frame it flies over 4 minutes on a 350mah 2s. its a good cruiser setup for angle mode but when i try to do acro moves it has horrible prop wash and washout and the wierd things that always happen when you try to dive with a ducted frame... it starts to try to fly like a wing instead of drop like a rock... anyways ill probably move all these components to another frame eventually but its a fun drone to fly for slow long cruises.

Seriously. under a dog and bump a chicken. Love it. Ive got 10k 1103's (1.5mm) and 2S 350's. Any recomendation for props for that kind of control.
I just drill out the hole to fit the 1.5 shafts on whoop props. My main trick for control is I have 3 different throttle curves on a switch one is 100% next is 70% and one 50% when I want more resolution I use the 50%.. on 10k I'd probably never go over 70% it will only draw the battery down too fast...
Those motors might be perfect on a 2 inch with Avan blur props
