Babytooth 2S topmount 2.5“

Wanted to try the Babytooth frame as a top mounted 65mm/2.5" prop frame.
Build was tight but manageable. Only thing I had to do was to rotate the FC 90deg due to cable management(especially from camera to the pads)
Build came out pretty clean, I especially like race antenna mount that came with the frame.
What I havent figured out yet is the best way to manage the lipo cables in the back.

For now I'm flying it 2S, which seems plenty for freestyle sessions.
It does feel slightly different to my other toothpicks. Don't know it it's really the top mounted battery and COG or the camera position.
Anyway I'm liking it!

Weight: 58g dry, 77g with 350mAh 2S

How does this fly? Flight time? Zippy? Responsive? I was literally making scribles on paper of a similar design, wasn't sure if it'd be too much weight.

What is this voodoo top plate mounting hardware you got goin' here!?! Do you just not have the big threaded washer lookin' thingies on it, or do you have some kind of press nut/screw thru it all coming up from the bottom jazz happnin'?

Samw85 Dec 08, 2019

they are press nuts, but I mounted the plate upside down to get a bit more clearance. below that are just regular metal spacers. since the whole thing is so light, so far the press nuts have stayed in without any problem.

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..
