Motors
Using TBS MasterPilot 2306 2750kv motors paired with Gemfan 5152S V2 3 Blade propellers. Starting with 3S batteries. Experimentally measured at 40% throttle (and 12.4 volts) to produce 130 grams of thrust using 1.05 amps of current, for an efficiency of 9.94 g/W. At 100% throttle (and 11.49 volts) to produce 533 grams of thrust using 6.4 amps of current, for an efficiency of 7.21 g/W. (not sure how correct these numbers are yet)

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
