When the whole 4" long range came on the scene I was very intrigued. With the Flywoo Explorer LR 4 being the first production Micro Long Range you could buy. I loved it and wanted one. This was something new and before you knew it everybody was coming out with there own Dave_C FPV inspired micro long range version. Then when I saw my favorite frame manufacturer Catalyst Machineworks come out with their version I saw a masterpiece. So here is my rendition of a 4" micro long range with style. I present to you, BlueAngle.
Sweet build! I just got my CMW Shocker and was surprised to see the build guide tell me to attach the Caddx VTX using double sided tape! Did you do that? How's it holding up?
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..
Read moreWith 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..

nice build.
How do those motors hold up?
And what's the weight?
I went with the Caddix Neubla Pro rather than the full size camera.
Just finished the 5" version and BH Avenger SE 2004-1950kv with Tattu 650mah 6s lipos.
Hey thanks. I haven't got a chance to fly her yet but can't wait. I will update how these BetaFPV motors perform. The build weighs in around 181.9 grams with props, prop screws and one CMW battery strap. Also thats with no Ummalite grip or naked GoPro with mount. Your 5" build sounds like a nice overall lightweight package. Must be fun on 6s.
Yeah, I'm really interested in your feedback about those motors on your build. Your build looks like it would be alot better suited for the initial build purpose. A long range ultralight quadcopter. I think you hit the mark perfectly if you got it at 181 grams. I weighted mine in at 223 grams w/o the 650mah 6s lipo.
I got a chance tonight to fly this drone with the BetaFPV 1404 3800kv motors and she flys great. Just what I was going for. A little more pep when I need it then the 2800kv-3000kv options. And a nice steady cruise just taking in the beautiful DJI Digital footage. This is now one of my favorite rigs when I just want to get out and enjoy a nice long flight. Just flew one pack (1100 GMB 4S LiHV) got me around 10 mins.
