I wanted to build a lighter 3 inch digital quad for small places. My current one was 146 grams dry, 210 grams with a 650mah 4S.

So I build a 3 inch Toothpick with a naked vista and the dji cam. Currently at 87 grams dry. Ordered some new motors because the current one (1105) are garbage. with the new 1303 motors it shoould lose around 1.5 grams of weight.

I replaced the motors with the 1303 Amax. Lost 6(!) grams of weight. so 1,5 grams per motor.

update 2

Replaced the crossfire nano rx with the ExpressLRS ceramic rx

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..
