My spin on a practice race & chase rig.
Thanks to @flyfive33 / @headsupfpv for the superquick shipping! Keep killin it on DRL.

Switchback HD Frame
Iflight Beast F7 AIO FC
T-motor Velox 2400kv
Caddx Vista Digital VTX
Run Cam MIPI digital camera
Crossfire Nano RX
Gemfan Hurricane 4 blade props
Gemfan F3 freestyle props
BN-220 GPS module
Tinys LEDs mini racelite

To make more room for the FC & get better cooling to the vista unit, printed a 20x20 to 25x25 adapter and mounted it to the forward FC stack holes.

Created a gopro style finger mount for Different configurations, allows you to strap Full size gopros or swap it out with a Turtle mode fin.

Running on 4cell or 6cell lipos with motor output auto scaled to 66%.

hi there, i got a sw hd too, bus fiting caddx vista nebula pro. have 2 questions, 1- where u placed the capacitor? mine is on the edge on xt60. 2nd question, how you fix the xt60 to the lipo strap? inside him? or some else?

whats your dry weight on this setup? (minus cam) im considering using these or another 2207 on a light frame that would be around 220 dry including these motors. trying to figure out if that would be overpowered :D

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! 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.
