This is my second build and my first racer. Bought the Bushfire edition to help with money towards the fire affected here in Aus. It was a challenging build for me as it was quite tight. I ended up going with some taller stand offs so there was room to fit the vtx and so I could elevate the stack so the camera plug was not up against it. In future I would go with a camera that has solder points rather than a plug. I have used cheap motors for now but I will likely upgrade them in the future. Because I raised it up, the antenna mount which usually hangs off the back of the top plate was fouling the props so I moved it onto one of the arms.

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..
