While I always liked my DJI toothpicks, one thing that bothered me was the "height" you inevitably get by putting a vista, full cam and AIO on one stack, and the TPU canopys which always look a bit home made.
This build foucused on having a clean look and lover profile. I wanted to use the iFlight Alpha85x canopy. Problem: It's made for the nebula and not the full size cam. A bit radical maybe, but a set of pliers, some force and hot glue solved that problem :) Not proud of it but it'll do until a 14x14mm Nebula pro comes along.
The rest of the build is pretty simple.
103.9g dry and 161.2g with a 450/4S which is not crazy light but good for what it is.

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..

any DVR flights? just curious of how your motors handle 4s being 5000kv pushing 3016 tri blades
mainly curious about the high end of the throttle without motor output limits
Hi Jim
I don't think I have a DVR of this particular build (or can't find it in my mess of recordings).
As far as I can remember it flew fine, but I changed to 1404s later.
