Finally upgraded my analog Marmotte to digital with the Caddx Vista and Nebula Pro. The build was surprisingly easy to complete but does require that you 3D print custom parts to fit things properly. At some point in the future Ill likely upgrade this to 6S but for now its a 4S only build due to the motors. Detailed part list is below and also some links to the files I used on Thingiverse.

Sweet! This is almost exactly what I want to build. Does the Vista have the same wiring harness/cable as the DJI air unit? I see that there are FCs that are "made for DJI" with a simple cable connection but all of the pics show it connected to an air unit.
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.
