Long range build, not much for freestyling , but mountain cruising , reached 15min flight time with a 6s1p 18650 VTC6 pack and 4km maximum distance (had many mountains in the way, so I decided to not push much, but I wasnt afraid of losing the drone as it has gps and rescue mode enabled)

This video bellow was recorded with the GoPro Hero 5, mounted over zipties for Reelsteady purposes, without zipties it was being impossible to smooth any video at all! I hope to be able to print the specific reelsteady focused mount , that uses rubber supports.

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..
