Decided to build a cinewhoop as I've been dabbling with some commercial work.
I went with an FPV cycle Cinesplore because I liked the way it's designed around the caddx vista and well Bob seems to know his stuff. It's built to his recommended spec for 4s.
It's weighing in right at 557g with a Hero 9 and performance is pretty surprising. It has more pop than I expected and the low speed stability is super fun to play with.
Here's tune check flight with no Hypersmooth. I wanted to get it dialed in before playing with Stab.
The following day I took it to an indoor RC race. This is with Hypersmooth without boost.

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. 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..

Did you print the ducts yourself? fpvcycle has really good stuff but they are always sold out.
I didn't, I ordered them from fpvcycle. I think they went out of stock right after that.
