I must confess this is a spur of the moment build. I bought a few FPVCycle AIO boards when it became available and built this quad based on what I already had with me.

This build is a little on the heavier side. I had bought the Caddx Baby Ratel 2 for GnarlyFPV Sub Atomic, but found out that it is too deep to use. A lighter camera might be better, but it is what I had.

I fly it around my house and find it great for it. I get a little over 3 minutes with BetaFPV 450mAh battery. I am still figuring out the best PID tune for it. I am starting with the whoop preset at https://theuavtech.com/presets/#/whoops

l have reduced some weight by switching to ELRS EP2 and changing the canopy. A different VTx will also save, but I did enjoy the on-board recording. The camera is another one that will save weight, if you switch to something like Foxeer Pico or Caddx Ant Lite. However, I do like the video from this camera.

What components did you use?

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..
