I am still getting used to this build, it seems like all the power comes in above 60% throttle. I can't wait til other manufactures start making 2mm prop shaft props.

10/19 I am finally getting used to the throttle and really liking how you can hammer the throttle with out any voltage sag >: )

do u know the motor distance? can u measure it for me?

Ikuiku Dec 04, 2019

I'll measure it when I get home from work.

Ikuiku Dec 07, 2019

It's 120mm diagonally.

Where did you put your vtx? I will be using the same on mine, but I've heard a ton of people saying that it gets insanely hot even on lower power settings.

Ikuiku Oct 11, 2019

i mounted the vtx on the back of the camera. I used silicone and double sided tape to get it to stick. The vtx does get hot on the bench with out any airflow but when its in the air it stays nice and cool at 200mw. I am pretty sure it's due to the canopy allowing a lot of airflow. When ever I need it powered up on the bench i just use vtx pit mode to kill signal so it doesnt over heat.

if you look at all my micro builds they are all mounted like that wih out any heat issues.

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..
