I wanted this quad to be lightweight, and also not expensive. It's not necessarily built for long range, but for flying for fun. No buzzer, GPS, Crossfire, or GoPro mount. Weight with no battery: 191gm. Flight time with 1500mAh 4S lipo (auw 374gm): 19m30s.
Note that the arms that come with the frame are cut wrong and have excess slop. There is a big gap between the arms I needed to shim to get the arms tight.
