This was my first build. While I probably should've started with something larger like a mini, I love these micro-quads.
Here’s the parts list:
Frame: BQE RIP Squeak - Speed Freak Edition
FC/ESC/VTX: iFlight SucceX Micro F4 Tower System 16x16
Motors: Spintech 1304ST 5600kv for 3s
Camera: Caddx Ant
VTX Antenna: Foxeer Lollipop V3 5.8GHz U.FL
Receiver: TBS Crossfire Nano RX with Minimortal V2 T Antenna
Props: Emax Avan Mini (3x2.4x3)
Add a couple of zip ties and you have all the materials you need. I pushed up the FC stack so there would be some room to put the strap to under mount the battery. Speaking of battery, I ran six packs of 3s 450 mAh for a solid four minute flight time and 550 mAh for five minutes.
It’s extremely nimble, extremely quiet, and FAST. Additional tuning wasn’t necessary, I ran it on stock BetaFlight tuning and I wouldn’t change a thing on it, not even the rates.

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..

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! 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..
