Brief Bio: This build was pretty fun, and a learning experience getting back into this hobby after leaving for 2 years. Hopefully I can help someone with questions and/or ideas with their future build.I reused a Unify pro and older DYS Fire motors( later swapped for iflight Xing 2207 2450KV). So you could call it a Spare parts build.

Frame Review: Nice Frame, little heavy but durable. On one of my first couple flights I wrecked and pulled all of the internal nuts out of the frame so I used longer M3 bolts with 4 spacers/ washers (purple) to really tighten down arms to the bottom plate .(You can see this on the 1st pic.)

FC/ESC: The F7 is super nice the best handling quad I have flown, even on stock PIDs. I could tell there needs to be some tuning with the GoPro mounted, it seemed like there was oscillation when going high to low very fast.
ESC are running FMW: 32.7 of BLHeli32 and DShot 600

Features: Running Smart Audio, super convenient being able to change freq. channel, band, and power levels from my OSD. Once I got VTX tables figure out on beta flight, that is!
As well as Telemetry, when my Radio says "low RF signal", it helps a ton. I haven't invested into Crossfire yet..

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..
