There are a few problems:
The cable of the Tarsier v2 is a bit short, so I had to order a longer one. Also the cables of the motors placed in the front need to be extended by about 5cm.
I also don't like the XM+ receiver, at least my unit has significant swamping problems (looses signal, when to close to the radio, so I am going to replace it.
I like the video quality of the Tarsier, but for some reason, I can't turn on image stabilization. Waiting for a response from the manufacturer here..
For bench work, a cooling fan is required, as the flight controller gets very hot.

But the first flight was awesome

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..
