Xknight 4" HD

This is the second incarnation of this rig, the first was a bit ill concieved and didn't last very long.

Running as light as I can on the rig and running a pretty big 850 4S pack to offset the weight - comes out at 225g flying weight (with the insta 360 Go). The 1404s are quite powerful and this light rig seems to work very well with them so far.

Very ugly pod printed on my ancient Printrbot simple metal. It is functional :)

Looks great! I have a similar-ish setup, do you recommend the gemfan 4024 props over the hqprop t4x2.5?

thanks. It just screams on either prop, I felt the corners were a little more solid with the 4024s. It is so light is just flings whichever way to toss it.

Jun 21, 2021

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.

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!
