Really wanted to try the FPVCycle 5" motors. Was set on either the moongoat, or the FPVCycle prototype frame, but neither were available, so I settled on this 5" frame, and I have to say, I'm incredibly impressed with this frame and the motors. I thought I wouldn't notice too much of a difference with the 5" motors, but I felt like I had a lot less concern and a lot more control flying fast and close to the ground.

I did a short 3 pack edit of my first 3 packs on this frame, I might have been enjoying the proximity flying near the ground a bit too much :)

I also tried to slam the frame a bit, but could only get down to 20mm instead of 23mm, enjoy all the gold hardware!

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..
