Been flying this since December. Flew at GE2 Seattle but had some video issues, works like a dream now that I replaced the SMA cable on my video transmitter. Spins RK5051s but you need to shave down the carbon on the frame a little bit to get them to work properly. Uses the 3mm bottom frame plate with an upgraded 2.5mm top plate for carrying a GoPro Session. Runs DSHOT600 using the standard KISS hardware.

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..
