This is a semi-light 3 inch quadcopter build, the goal is to have an AUW with a GoPro und 250g, which this quad with exactly 249g reaches. This helps with a lot of regulations in europe. The power on 4S is just insane with this build, although it eats through batteries (around 70A peak amp draw). Lots of fun with and without the GoPro.

I got most of the parts on sale, total costs for me (excluding battery) was around $110. Flying Betaflight 4.1.4 with RPM filters and close to default PID values.

Some flying impression:

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..
