This is essentially a Mobula6 but was built from scratch with some custom/ upgraded parts. I started with a NewBeeDrone Cockroach frame and added the Beta FPV 19,500kv motors which spin the NewBeeDrone AZI 31mm triblade props.

I then added the Crazybee F4 Lite FC with FRSKY spi receiver along with the Runcam Nano 3 camera and this was stuffed under a Mobula6 canopy - all the same as the factory Mobula6. I used all factory plugs so no soldering was necessary.

This setup weighs just slightly more than a factory Mobula6 @ 21 grams without battery and 29 grams with a GNB 300mah battery. Don't tell my wife I used her kitchen scale ;)

I updated the FC to Betaflight 4.2 and updated the ESC firmware to JazzMaverick's 16.80 hex file with 96 khz PWM. RPM Filtering is enabled in Betaflight.

I have not flown a stock Mobula6 but this little ripper is super smooth, agile and I can fly for 3 to 3.5 minutes flying hard no problem. This is my nicest flying whoop I have had yet. For comparison, I also have a stock iFlight Alpha A65, custom Mobula 6.5 (Mobula6/7 hybrid) and I used to have a brushless Blade Inductrix.

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..
