Hi guys,
this is the updated version of the previous VarvatusVex v1.0 build.
After some time and practice, it is normal to need more features and more performance.
This version is really funny to fly with, fast and aggressive, with a very good range and 4-5 minutes of hard flight with the Turnigy Graphene 1600mah 75C.
The first limit of the previous version was the 3D printed PETG frame. It was a good starting point, but it is not even comparable with the solidity and the reduction in term of vibrations that can be achieved with a carbon fiber frame. Every crash with a plastic frame meant a full rebuild of the drone that was quite tedious. I will never turn back. Now this quad have a TBS Source One Frame... and it is simply awesome...
Another important improvement regards the range, as this version relies on the Taranis and R9M - R9MM system. The better radio coupled with the R9M, allows to extend significantly the range of the flights to many kilometers (tested 3km easy). For this reason should be considered at least a mid-range drone.
The new FPV camera (Caddx Turbo Micro F2) allows to have really clean images, even in dark situations. The results with this camera were better than expected. Also the VTX was improved with a more recent version (TX805). Goggles in my gear set are FastShark HDO2.
Last but not least, it has a double layer of silicone conformal coating, that makes it water resistant!!
Hope you can like it!

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..
Read moreWith 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..
