Nice I gonna build the same with 1507 2700KV motors. I will be a 3D LOS drone. Be honest, isn't 3800KV not to much for this build with 5" props ?

DrMacca Jun 11, 2020

Sweet build! Amazing job keeping the weight down - I just finished a similar build (same frame) but with lighter motors (1505 3600kV) and it's 14g heavier! 👍👍👍

Did you post your build ? mine is the same weight with 1207 motors... I think the 20 mm stack I used adds weight and should be replaced by an AIO FC+ESC whoop sized board.

DrMacca Jun 11, 2020

No, not yet. I used the BetaFPV 20A AIO. I know some of my extra weight comes from the fact I used a micro rather than a nano-sized camera, and I also used a bigger antenna. Also wklee.fpv's build here is really neat and tidy compared to mine - I probaby added another gram or two from having wires too long, too much tape and zipties etc.

how is the ESC delivering the amps ? I saw the pads are tiny, do you feel it has a lot of power or the 30A is marketing ?

Love the canopy! To be fair, I have loved most of your canopys.

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

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..
