Armattan Chameleon 7" Long Range build

Started using a Mamba F7 FC but replaced it later with a Matek F722 SE.

Maximum range tested of 2km (1,24 miles) with perfect video, using the Immersion Rapidfire with Lumenier AX II Patch and the Foxeer Pagoda Pro. TBS Unify Pro was set to 25mW in an open area and flying at an altitude of around 40m (130 feet). Must make more tests in order to find out the maximum video range with the 5.8 GHz setup.

Video setup is going to be replaced with a 2.4 GHz one to get more range, so I only get limited by batteries duration.

Antenna for TBS Micro TX was an Immortal T in the initial setup, but replaced it with an Immortal T extra extended (longer wire) later so I could set it in a vertical position.

Holder for Immortal-T and Runcam 5 has been designed by myself and printed in TPU.

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..
