MOD3 4K

By BenayoFPV on Jun 18, 2020

This build is meant to be a lightweight 3 inch quad that is capable of HD recording, some freestyle, and decent flight times.
Frame: The Mod3 is a frame designed by LeDrone.Club. I had it cut by CNCMadness.
With 25mm standoffs and the stack I am using, it is a very tight fit.
It offers little camera protection. I paid the price and smashed my ND filter in a light crash.
Camera: My tarsier has an issue in which the HD footage freezes every couple of seconds.
Receiver: The FS-X14S does not natively support RSSI. I followed this guide to enable RSSI in the OSD.
Flight time: When I was flying aggressively, I was able to get about 4:10 of flight time. When I was cruising around, I was able to get about 5:30 of flight time and I'm sure I could push it to get at least 6 minutes.
Weight: With no lipo it weighs about 120 grams. With a 550mAh 3s it weighs about 165 grams.
Overall it wasn't the cleanest build, but it got the job done for me.

I would love to see some footage, this is such a good package for this cam

I believe the freezing of the HD footage was due to the tarsier board overheating. I will post some videos here as soon as I can.

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..

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..
