Shendrones Big Baby x8

Welcome to my first x8 Build. Wanted to it for a long time and finally Pulled the Trigger.
The T-Motor Velox V45A V2 has a 10pin Connector and the Lux H7 got 2x 8pin Inputs, since I needed to rewire the connector I took the 10V regulator and one ground out and put the rest into an 8pin connector.
I needed to print some Custom washers under the Vista and inbetween the ESCs. Also I needed smaller screws for the motors (M2x4).

AUW is about 500g with Hero 7 and Ovonic 1000mah 6S, flight time is about 3.5min when flying like a Cinewhoop with Gemfan D76 5-blade Propellers on top and Gemfan 3028-3 on the lower motors

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

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!
