The purpose of this build is to be lightweight and fly well. Supposed to replace my Tinyhawk 2 Freestyle in the fleet. something I can fly around my house, from inside my house, in the winter and rip parks with in the summer. I went with the ultra light VTX and seperate onboard DVR, that way if I want to cut weight I can pull the DVR and if I want to record some flights I can pop it back in, since its plug and play.
I have 3s 450's that I will mainly fly, however the plan is to also reuse my 2s gnb 450s from the TH2FS for some more chill flights.

Hi, can you share your betaflight config file and version? For rpm filter and pid tuning...
hey! so I blew up my flight controller, so I dont have a PID dump, however I basically used this https://theuavtech.com/presets/#/toothpicks. My p:d gain slider is at 1.3, and my filter sliders are at 2.0, is the only difference. I also use less FF (.9) with an FF transition of .5, and a few other things, but I fly the 4.3 nightlies.
as of 11/20 I have switched to the Foxeer Toothless2 Starlight. Not becuase I didnt like the runcam, but because I broke the runcam.
I will say, the runcam Pheonix2 nano had the worst wire harness I have ever seen on a camera. Hard plasitc wires, super thin, very fragile. Also, the lens was WAY to long, stuck out of the canopy, which led to its ultimate demise.

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..

my diatone mamba f4 took a crap after having many fun flights, i ordered a new one but its the updated version and have had nothing but trouble between it having runaway issues to finally getting pid to hover for a short time. needless to say nothing like the old one.... at this point now i think the new one is dead after multiple tries so im ready to get a new flight controller but why is the new one your using so pricey? i wish i could just have my old one back! it still powers up but something on the board burnt so one motor isnt spinning really...
