After getting the DJI FPV system I've decided to put it in my Geprc cinepro4k and my XL8. Both of these quads weren't designed for the air unit, so I've had to bodge them a bit. With the addition of some 3D prints for the camera and the air unit the XL8 manages to carry off the DJI system pretty well.
The quad ran blheli s from when I originally built it a couple of years ago, but I wanted to try rpm filtering on BF 4.1. Luckily UAVFutures made a video the other week how to upgrade blheli s firmware to enable RPM filtering. The upgrade was painless and BF worked straight out of the box.
Maidening the rebuild, I could tell that the PIDs were not great, but upping the master slider to 1.5 has reduced most of the bobbles. The only thing that went wrong today was on my third pack I slammed the quad into a fence post, shattering 3 props and ejecting the gps, never to be found again... o well...

Rotorbuilds does not convert currency, and for a second I was afraid that you really paid 46USD for 2 pagodas :D
Will You Post flight footage? Also, no wonder you lost 3 Props in a crash, those things explod if you look at them wrong. Are you planing to upgrade?
these ones are better balanced, but you will probably get less flight time: https://www.racedayquads.com/products/hq-prop-macroquad-8x4-5x3-tri-blade-8-carbon-reinforced-prop-ccw

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..

What KV motor did you end up going with? I'm building up a 7" with the same motors. What sort of flight times are you getting?
yo man, sorry, not been on the site for ages. the flight times are very long, I can't recall exactly but at least 15 minutes of pootling around
