This build is based on a Beta85x frame with 1204 6500kv motors. The naked Vista is mounted under the FC inside the frame.
You only need to clip off two corners of the PCB's to easily get it in.
Once in it is a tight fit. But to be safe i insulated the two layers with some kapton tape to prevent shorts.
The canopy is directly mounted to the frame with zipties, so this thing really can take a beating.
Performs great on a 3s 550mAh.

This is awesome. I would love to see how it rips. Does it compare to the shutterbug 85? Or is it too difficult to achieve that with the extra weight of the naked vista?

Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't compare to the shutterbug 85. The dry weight is almost twice as much. If you add those 15g of a naked vista you also need bigger motors. Otherwise it would just have not enough power for good performance :(
Now that the weather is getting better i will try to get some good flight footage to upload.

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..
