Armattan Gecko Caddx Vista

I know what you're thinking; that's a Gecko 4 inch frame with 3 inch props. Yeah, I ordered the wrong frame; but glad I did; flies as good as my 5 inchers.
I really have a hard time telling the difference between my 5 inch Badger & this thing. Getting over 6 minutes with a 6S 1000mah Lipo.
The Nebula Pro fits way better than the original Caddx Vista camera in my first build. Exactly the same quality.

I have the same FC and I'm struggling to make OSD work... I connected it on the UART 4, like you did but it won't work... Does yours work ?

on 6s you are on the same top rpm as i am i get just around 30 amps on 4s and you are using a 40 amp esc on 6s which manes your amperage will be lower for the same wattage which manes you are in much beater states to run 4 inch you really sholde tray the gf 4023 wind dancer which i am currently wafting for sholde draw less current then wot i am using know i do understand your dilemma i love the 3052

I actually built it for 6S. Not sure if 4 inch props would be too much of a load on the motors & ESC, but I'll try. Thanks.

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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..
