6s Badger Dji cinematic freestyle build

By Neu1teiger on Mar 21, 2020

12 923 8

After having flown a Babyhawk r to the absolut limit I thought it was time for something bigger. This is my first 5inch quad build from the start up.

Shoutout to greg for sharing his clean looking Marmotte! https://rotorbuilds.com/build/20854

3D printed parts are on the way to have a better mounting solution for both dji antennas. They seem ok for now but I don't know what's gonna happen in a crash! Also I am thinking about adding a gps module and a buzzer to it.

There is nothing really special about this build apart from soldering the esc ribbon cable straight to the FC to have the battery plug sticking out the front. Nano rx is just ziptied down in the middle.

Weight with Battery strapped on is about 618 grams. Gonna update it soon as our kitchen scale is known for its inaccuracy.
Update: 618 it is!

Nice toy !! Did you have no problem connecting your FC to betaflight? I'm on MAC and I can't get it recognized on my pc

Neu1teiger Apr 14, 2020

thank you! Im also on a mac and I had to type in the port manually for the first time. My Laptop has two usb ports and only one works for the connection 😅

Very clean looking build. Great job. Btw. what is you dry weight (quad with props). I would like to compare it to my Marmotte.

Neu1teiger Mar 27, 2020

strap weighs around 2 grams and with it on dry weight is 412 grams. How about your Marmotte?

miromir237 Mar 27, 2020

my Marmotte is ~400g

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
