The Zip Tie Canopy Revolution is here! No really, zip ties and a little heat shrink build up into fantastic canopies. They're good enough that I've updated the 110mm frame, which is a perfect base for these canopies, to mount both 16 x 16 stacks and AIO whoop boards. The canopies build up with a nice finished look and great durability for the weight. The frame is available for both 3 hole mounts (for 1S and 2S 1102 builds) and 4/2 hole mount (for 2S 1103 builds).
Frames:
1102 1S 1.5mm 3 hole frame
1102 2S 2 mm 3 hole frame
1103 2S 2mm frame
The build pictured is the 2mm frame, Crazybee F4 1-2s with integrated reciever, Runcam Nano3, Eachine nano vtx, HM 1102 9000kv, and Whocares props. Dry weight is 29 grams. I fly with a GNB 2S 300mah battery at 45 gm AUW. DVR is at the end of the video above, yes it absolutely rips. Note that the GEPRC 1102s are probably a better choice as the wires don't need to be extended, and seem to be a smoother more durable motor.
The canopy is super easy to build. It is cheap, durable, and highly customizable.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..
