Been wanting to get some really close proximity HD video, inside of trees or near other features. Here's a cinewhoop build. I have a pretty good inventory in the spares bin, so the only new part here is the Holybro frame. It's pretty easy to build with, plenty of room for standard components. I dig the XT60 print that came with it, I'll probably print some of my own for other builds.

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..

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..
