First Build 2.0 :fire:

Heres the old: http://rotorbuilds.com/build/2168
The PDB built into the XR215 (old frame) got fried because its some cheap crap.
I did some research and fell in love with CJ5FPV's Force 210X. Absolutely loving it so far.
Honestly, for some cheap banggood motors and ESCs, they are holding up surprisingly well and have a decent amount of kick to them.
The only part that I would not recommend is the HS1185 camera. It is not the best absolutely terrible. If it is a sunny day, good luck seeing anything but white.

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!

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
