Second build with this frame. My only complaint about it: it's a bit of a pain getting the mmcx connectors in to the air unit. I feel if the TPU mounts were a tad longer, it would be a better fit with a bit more slack on the wires. When they do slip out after a crash, it's hard to tell if they are in or not, since the wires are so snug.

Worth noting that the Mamba ESC is quite a tight fit, in between the top and bottom of the standoffs. Raised it with rubber spacers to give it enough clearance in case of a hard crash.

I love the TPU camera mount. The other build has taken a few head on hits and the mount just absorbed the impact like a champ. The skidpads are great too. After I started flying more concrete/tarmac spots, they are essential.

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..
