Brushless F4 1s whoop

This M01 VTX is light but what a royal pain it is to solder. It came with pins designed to line up and solder neatly into a different FC. Removing the pins is a challenge because the antenna runs right over one of the pads. A very thin point soldering tip would have been handy on this one.

Once built, and tuned (using rates from Mr Shutterbug's video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz0MjU4Gg3A&t=353s) this thing flew wonderful!

1: can you give better detail on your camera mount solution? think i can get it to work on a brushless cockroach frame?

im hoping to hit roughly 20g with a canopy - as i had a capless build before and it did significant damage to my FC and cam/vtx - so more protection, ill take the extra 1g

This camera squeezed in between the front ducts and a little welder glue holds it in place. the betafpv frame just happens to fit this camera really well in this spot

WOW! good job on the weight! I will be building one similar this week and hope to get the weight this low

i think direct solder would be heavier just cuz its mostly lead. idk for sure tho

dummel Nov 04, 2019

Im going to test your theory about the solder weight on my next build. the amount of solder would be key. Anyway, I am still gathering parts and will weigh and document it all as I build. Should have it here on the site in late November early December.

i'm interested to find out!

That really is adorable - and yeah that board looks very difficult to work with, kudos to you for getting it running!

thanks! sadly the price to pay was ruining the first VTX... accidentally put too much heat into the VTX board while wrestling with removing the pins. no joy on first plug in.
2nd VTX was a success though!

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..

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..
