My friend told me in Instagram, that this build looks like Superdry -brand product, so I named this build this way XD
I got this amazing frame and wanted to add my own touch in it.
I bought some camo car vinyl wrap a while ago and decided to test it on this build. The wrap came out really nice!
Quad needed some bright parts, so I don't loose it to woods on my first flight. I designed some parts, that can all be found on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3923712
- Arm plates
- Motor soft mount/wire guide
- Immortal-T mount
- Adjustable antenna holder
- Support piece to air unit front end
- New front bumper
Weight with props and strap is 425g, with 1550 R-Line Lipo 615g. Not too bad?
Just installed BF 4.1 with rpm filtering. I just hope it stops raining really soon!!

It feels weird saying I 'haven't seen this color combo before'. I have seen it on a TON of dudes out hunting, and on all of their gear. It's new in this arena, and your execution is tremendous. I'm particularly impressed with: the angle of the cuts/ends on your wire guards out on the arms, AND the way your tpu matches the board color of your esc. I feel like we are in this interesting transitional period (right now) that allows ppl to feel VERY free to add tons of 3D printed parts to their builds due to the inherent weight reduction of removing gopros. Normally when you learn to make your own 3d printed parts you want to go nuts accessorising, but you have to temper that lust with the need to keep weight down. For me that ends up meaning that I design 5 or 10 different parts that I COULD use, but then I only use 2 or 3 of them, since the other ones can be replaced with double stick tape, zip ties, or some adhesives that are all dramatically lighter. It's so fun, but then bittersweet.
I think in a few months ppl will be used to this new performance standard (no gopro) and they will get back to trimming weight aggressivly, but for the moment builds like yours will fly, and flourish, and be more beautifull than anything before, or that ever will be again.

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..

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..
