Armattan Marmotte DJI HD FPV Build

The first quad that I've built :-)

I used a 20x20 adapter to push the stack all the way to the rear of the frame.
Mounted the DJI Air unit to the front of the frame using VHB tape and a zip tie.
Mounted the FrSky R-XSR between the air unit and slightly under the stack using VHB tape and a small zip tie.

Note that the T-Motor F4 HD 30x30 stack is taller than the stock marmotte stand offs.. I had to improvise and use taller standoffs in the rear and spacers in the front.

I'm curious how you used the 20x20 stack adapter to move your stack. How did you manage that? I'm condisering doing the same but trying to wrap my brain around how you secured the stack. Looks like a really nice build!

Many thanks j4y!

I used four M3 screws and small spacers to secure the adapter to the frame via the 20x20 mounting points to the rear of the frame. The 30x30 stack then mounts to the adapter.

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..
