The Green Machine
By Koiglass90 on Mar 20, 2020
For my 2nd quad I wanted to build a 4/5s freestyle rig that could ultimately carry a Runcam 5 Orange. I went with the TBS Source One v3 frame because it's really cheap and for the durability you get, it's a great deal. The Botgrinder motors were a purely personal choice to support a content creator I like, and any 2207 or 2306 would suit this build equally well. I went with the oversized vtx because I had gotten it in an FPVCrate and it seemed a waste to let it sit there. I also had the u.fl triumph antenna from the same box, and to soft mount it (to prevent and tugs and snags) I bound it in the rear top plate notch with some zip ties so that it wasn't restricted but stayed in the correct orientation. I ended up using way too many zip ties

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!

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..
