So I brought this BQE Pickpocket 3inch frame after seeing how tanky my mates one is. I then realised I had some spare LEDs laying around that originally bought for a Cinerace20 before changing my mind on the colour and getting orange ones instead. So I decided to put them on this frame as flying with friends with bright LEDs on all quads is so much more fun as you can see eachother super easy. Just some zip ties worked like a charm. As for the rest of the build, I am super happy with it, flies smooth after a tune, plenty of power for the woods and parks we usually fly, and outstanding durability so far. It is a 3s setup, running 4500kv 1106 motors and a flywoo goku 20a AIO. The relatively low motor KV means flight time is amazing even super hard freestyling it usually gets 5 plus minutes on a 550mah. I have even strapped on a 900mah and gotten over 10 minutes of light freestyle.

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..
Read moreWith 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..
