Hello!
This is the next iteration of my main quad, this time on a QAV-X. I switched from the QAV-R to an SCX-200 because I wanted a smaller form factor, but I switched from that too after a while because I hated that it took 5 minutes to cram everything inside and get the top plate on every time something came loose. This frame has been great so far though. I talk about this quad as if it's an evolution of the last one, but actually, all of the parts are different.

Last time I checked it was 343g dry, 490g with a battery, and 563g with a battery and Hero 5 Session.

Yes, I know it's dirty in the pictures and probably has a a bent prop or two, but that's just how it looks most of the time!
Anyway, thanks for checking out this build and enjoy the pics!

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