I had most of these parts already on hand so decided to get the Picnic Quads 120mm carbon/birch frame to mount them all on. I'm very pleased with the result! Flies very well and is pretty quick for a brushed quad. Just learning FPV so this gives me an excellent learning platform that I can fly in the yard with no fear of killing anyone as could be the case with my 175mm brushless racer ;-) I'm going to put 65mm props on it to get a bit more zip out of it though it's plenty fast with the 55s. Bending the roll bar is a bit tricky and you can see that my result was less than perfect. But, so far, it has protected the camera well. I bought a spare roll bar just in case as well as a couple extra motor mounts. I'm using 1S batteries ranging from 500mah to 750mah and the quad flies well with all of them. Flight times run 4-5 minutes.

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..
