My DJI air unit did fit in my 3inch but not in my 5inch, I had to do something about it!

I decided to design an adapter to put screws for a 20x20 F722 mini DJI FC at the back of the frame, leaving room for the air unit above my regular 30x30 4in1 esc.
The air unit is squished enough to be held between the motor wires and the top plate.

And it flies awesome, 6s power, so light. Power to weight ratio is insane. I am never putting a gopro on a frame again.

Nice!! Can you share photos of the adapter you designed to put screws for the 20x20 F722 mini DJI FC at the back of the frame?
Thanks.

Clever approach to smoosh the 30x30 main stack with the Air unit. Haven't seen this done before.

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..
