This is my first attempt to build a light long-range using not very expensive and reliable parts.
Flight time
- With a 4S 650mAh lipo battery, you can expect at least 10 minutes of cruising flight time.
- With a 4S 850mAh lipo battery, you can expect at least 12 minutes of cruising flight time.
- With a 4S 3000mAh (200g) lion battery, you can expect at least 25 minutes of cruising flight time (and up to 35 min - see the video below).
Parts
- Frame explorer ultra light lr4 178mm
- Brushless motor happymodel 1404 2750kv
- Mamba mini 20x20 f722 mk3 pro
- VTX matek mini 800mW
- Caddx ratel 2
- GPS bn-180
- Antenna hglrc 100mm mmcx 90deg
- Prop gemfan 4019 foldable
- Buzzer Finder FullSpeedRC Lucky Box Built-in Battery
- Battery 4S 850 mAh lipo (3000mAh 4S Lion VTC6 recommended)
Notes:
- For vtx and antenna, I used MMCX connector.
- You need extra hex screws to fix the propellers.
- I used Mamba mini F722 mk3 PRO stack, but you can get another reliable and lightweight option like the Flywoo Goku 16x16 or even a Mamba F405 blheli_s 20x20.

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.
