AOS 3.5 frame using different components but withint chris rosser recommendation. Though this build wont get you belo 249g using 850mah, only 650 tattu battery at 245g. But then this is not what intend to use, but a portable freestyle that fits inside my backpack. take note that you need to remove 1 standoff near the usb as this fc is slightly in the middle (unlike the iflight beast f7 which i highly recommended). for the flight control jhemcu, i updated it first to blheli m before soldering vtx and receiver as i got funky read issues when running blheli and failures. I had to do this to get the filters working.

final build, replaced the 1507 motors (coz its hot even the pids are quite low) to brotherhobby 1504.5. comparable performance but a little lighter in weight.

update with insta360 go2 mounting and fully tested from jello with just standard uv filter. antenna replaced with stubby for less time to setup due to small bag. my run and gun fpv drone for my limited time a day to fly (i only got 30 minutes to play before work)

thank you

just trimmed the fc standoffs coz they are just too long, just need to trim down to 12mm. so this should be the ideal screw length for AIO whoop. also changed the antenna to short stubby but i havent test it if it improves the vibrations. so far initial flights was smooth even by default pids, but then my motors are slightly on the hot side. will update on the next flight and mods.

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..

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..
