This build is a complete rebuild of my favorite drone - Barracuda. Previous builds:
https://rotorbuilds.com/build/13050
https://rotorbuilds.com/build/3612
Components i saved from my previous build - frame. New components i used to upgrade this build (motors, esc, pdb) are more powerful and can be used with 6s battery. FC nowadays must be based on F7 processor to use maximum features BF provide. Also camera and vtx have been replaced to get features like SmartAudio and CamControl to work with latest BF. Amax motors are great, very strong and powerful. APD escs was designed for x-class and should give a lot of power to Amax motors. Pdb from iFlight is simple but rated up to 330A current.

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..
