we all know how awesomely light and durable the R3dshifters ion frames are. Finally got around to building the 1s 3" ultralight version. First analog build in a long time!
instead of using a runcam nano 3 or caddx ant i went for a "full size" nano 14mm camera
ill decide after the maiden if ill keep it or drop 5 grams and go to one of those bare cameras
Update:
configured everything up today and everything is working (man, forgot how much more of a process analog is) except no video...then realized the Phoenix 2 nano minimum voltage is 5v haha.
Update 16th March 2021
so camera works fine off the 5v pad haha. but I changed the camera to the foxeer toothless nano 2 as it's similar in performance but a gram lighter
Maiden flights turned out very well. I used Kabab's pids for the babytooth 3" and had to turn up the D about 3-4 points. Also had to go direct solder on the motors...made a huge difference in flight time and power

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..
