I've so many parts laying around, so I've decided to have another toothpick build.
I've searched through ebay, Banggood, AliExpress, Amazon and eBay Kleinanzeigen and finally found a frame for my parts.
The parts I'm using are the motors from my turbobee, which I totally don't know the correct specs (sphobby BR1103 7800kV), sold as many brands (MiToot, ocday, kingkong, sphobby) and are rated 1-2s and 2-3s...
So the only thing I know: 2S is the go to.
The whoop board I've laying around was planned to be a micro-cine-rig which can handle 1-2s. The props I'm going to use, are the good ones from HQ.
The cam isn't decided yet and the vtx could be an older ldarc egg et1x0 one, which I have two of these. The receiver could be a fs-rx2a or fs-a8s.

Update I: so the cam and vtx is now an eachine aio tx06 with smart audio. the cam isn't screwed in, it's just a tight fit in the 3D printed canopy.

Update II: in the same build session, i've finally choose the fs-rx2a.

Update III: took the AMAX INNO motors from my iflight turbobee 120rs, because i have some new racerstar 1103 8000kV racing edition motors to give it another level of speed.

Update-notice: i've never had success at the first time connecting video in and video out, because one documentation wasn't correct. this time, it went all as it should.

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..

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..
