It is my first FPV drone. I have completed the build and did a few flights. The thingy is way too fast for the beginner, much faster than emulator I am used to. Nevertheless, I like it very much.
Updated: After a few months of flying I've made some upgrades. First of all, I have painted the frame to neon yellow. It makes the drone more visible in the air and what is most important - easy to find after "unplanned landing" somewhere in the grass. Then after having antennas broken I'm using VTX and receiver with detacheable and replaceable antennas. And I have added buzzer with two LEDs.
The drone gives ~5 min of flight time on 2S 650mAh battery.

Don't despair. You will get a hang of it. It's probably more of being hard to control than fast. That's the problem with 2" drones with fast motors. It either drops like a rock and or jumps to the sky.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Hi, would have been nice to see more pics....How sturdy is the frame?
The frame is very rigid. Survived a few crashes without any damages. During the flight acceleration sometimes goes to 5.8G and no consequences as well.
