This ongoing project comes from my love of neighborhood flying. I love the FPVcycle toothpick3 platform, but switched over to digital. Since micros are my Jam, and I love a challenge, I set out to build a slightly different tp3. My goal was to build a toothpick that falls within Bob Roogis recommended specifications, and transmits in crispy HD. As of January, this is where im at in the project. I've got a basic mount mocked up to accomodate a stripped down DJI fpv camera. Im calling this the SV beebrain mount or Naked DJI beebrain mount. Ive also compiled a basic parts list. If you follow the list directly, your final weight should be extremely similar. **Please note, this craft is not built for durability. Instead, Maximum weight savings and Performance.

just finished my copy of this build...thanks for the inspiration!
I had to go metal motor bolts since the threads weren't clean from previous locktite so I'm rocking more grams than you

Got all the parts today - very excited to start my build :-) Would you care to share your BF config incl. the PIDS?
Great idea with the SV beebrain mount! Can you share the STL files?
I was confused why it was so heavy at first, then I saw the battery :) Dry weight is around 68g? Very impressive considering the full size DJI cam!
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..

how did you attach the antenna to the 3d printed part?
