This build is from about a year ago (Dec. 2021) but I'm just now getting aroung to posting it. Most of the parts I got from FPV Crate and some have been upgraded since then to what I am listing here. Nothing really special about it. The motors are somewhat rare and I cannot find replacements anymore. Wish I would have bought more when they was available. I 3D printed custom parts such as the antenna/xt30 mount and the landing pads. I went all out with the AKK VTX, 1 Watt with DVR. The damn VTX is wider than the frame. I really like this quad and the way it flies. The frame is suprisingly durable which is great considering it's a unibody. I don't like unibody frames because when I break an arm the entire thing needs to be disassembled.

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..
