When I want to fly indoors, this speed demon is what I reach for.

There may be lighter quads, there may be faster quads, but this one is mine ;)
I've had this frame the longest, and it's the most destroyed (and re-melted lol). But it still flies well and keeps taking hits!

I don't mind taking this quad everywhere I go.
I can use 600mah batteries for 5 minute flight times.
I can fly it outdoors in moderate winds with the quad blades and 25000kv motors.
I can fly it after sunset with the Caddx Ant.
I can do all the things with this whoop.

If you want to replicate this build, note that you will need the "longer" Zerograv75 camera head from R3DShifters. The stock Zerograv camera head is too short to accomodate the Caddx Ant with it's rear connectors.

The quad blades paired with the 25000kv motors are a battery killer. Even reducing idle down to nothing (0.25%) still makes the quad skid around when arming.

But man, this thing is fun.

Edit 9/7/20: Went a different direction, replaced the camera with a Foxeer Pico Razer since it fit better in the stock mount without removing the Ant's connectors, and replaced the motors with 17500kv onsies and 1.2x3 Azi props. Thing flies amazing, even outdoors in the wind!

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..

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..
