Drone CO Snapshot

4 326 2

This is a 2.5in cinewhoop style quad from Chris Teal over at Drone Co.

This quad can be built as a pusher or traditional. Mounting for a Vista makes this a perfect digital quad. Chris has several 3d printed mount options to accomodate from a Gopro, to a Naked GoPro, Insta360 and more.

I am not using mine for the usual professional use of cinewhoops. I am more of a hobbyist flyer and I have to say I really enjoy this quad. I am currently playing with Betafligt 4.3, but as usual Emuflight works amazing.

Mine came in at 326g with an 850mah 4s and GoPro Hero 8. I will fly it without to GoPro till I can build a naked version.

What is the dry weight of the quad, without the lipo and camera? You wrote that you quad weighed " 326g with an 850mah 4s and GoPro Hero 8." But that does not seem right.

Full GoPro 8: 126g
RDQ 850mah 4s Lipo: 100g

That would mean the quad weigh 100g, is that right?

I am building a SnapShot and wanted to see how much everyone else's quad weighs. Thanks!

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

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..
