This is my first foray into the FPV digital world. Decided to jump on the Fatshark bandwagon with my first POD designed around the Shark Byte TX5S.1 VTX.
My goal was to make a low profile design So I had to try a FC / ESC AIO single board, So in essence there would be only a 2 stack POD design.
I have tried several FC / ESC boards which caused me to re-design the POD constantly over a few months. At one stage I gave up on 2 stacks and settled on a 3 stack design for a different un-released POD I had, but recently I had a break through on the 2 stack design for the original POD I had in mind.
The end result was this.

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..
