Made this tiny whoop for cruising around the backyard or when I don't want to be loud. Also does great for teaching someone how to fly. This started as BNF drone from NewBeeDrone, and I have now replaced every part on it except the frame. I'm also very happy with how the 3D printed parts came out for this. The camera mount band turned out fantastic and does a great job.

Update: I noticed the frame was peeling a small amount after a crash. I created some TPU motor mounts to help protect the frame and soft mount the motors.

T-Motor F1103 8000kv
I can't say enough about these motors. I was rather disappointed with NewBeeDrone motors as they seem to be easily damaged in a crash. These T-Motors produce great amount of power while not being too crazy powerful.

TBS Podracer AIO
This thing is amazing! Its very pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Allows for a very clean and small package with a seperated out VTX. I personally do not like the VTX/FC/ESC all in one boards. Its just too much on a board and prone to overheating. TBS out did themselves with this package.

SavageBee Frame
The frame from SavageBee is fantastic. Light and durable, which is exactly what I wanted for this build.

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..
