Jumping on DJI FPV hype train with Armattan Marmotte DJI edition. Took parts from my Flosstyle. The motors are actually 2150kv.

All parts fit nicely. It was bit fiddly to mount the camera using the washers but I succeeded. I am powering the DJI airunit with Matek 9V BEC mounted on top of it and not using foam by Armattan and using double sided tape instead.

The dry weight is still bit high. I think I can loose some by using lighter motors. These MBPrimos are reaching EOL anyways.

The electronic was switched between several frames in recent year and I am having desyncs. I guess I need to check my soldering. The Banggood solder I used is trash.

After all it flies pretty well and I am very happy with the DJI FPV system.

Hi, I am sorry for wrong info. I just noticed that this is the my Marmotte buld which is 5" and there are NO props in camera view. My initial comment was to my other Armattan Badger 6" build -> https://rotorbuilds.com/build/23617

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..
