This is my first FPV quad. I have always had several RC's from Heli's to Crawlers to SCT's. This pandemic and Youtube have rekindled my interest in FPV quads. I chose to start with the Cloud 149 CineWhoop Frame so that I could fly inside and out, and also cary a go pro if/when I choose. I got most of the parts from RaceDayQuads, which I fould to be an awesome site, with fast shipping and often the cheapest parts aside from those slow sketchy Chinese sites.
I have run about 15 packs through the quad and have had no issues both inside and outside with some decent wind. It is as smooth as I coould have ever imagined. I considdered a nicer FC with an F7 controller instead of the F4 in this mamba but I have so far been throughly impressed with the whole stack and VTX.
For my next build I will be going from the 3" to a 5" inch with full telmetry but first will have to buy some fpv goggles. I did snag a portable monitor/reciever combo on amazon for cheap to get me started building but I definitely need the goggles ASAP.
Another note is that this frame supports both a 20mm stack and a 30mm stack and for my first build soldering on the 20mm stack was a bit of a concern but I did not have any issues with my first try and no smoke. It took some patientence to keep everything clean during the build while soldering and I would have apprecieated a 30x30 size stack, but so far this one is great, also very few soldered wires stick out past the edge of the frame because of the smaller stack I do like this, and the few grams saved is also nice.
I hope to update this post after maybe 100 packs.
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..

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..
