The idea was to build a high power 4s 5 inch drone for easily carrying GoPro Bones or DJI Action 2. I was aiming for 500g AUW (including action cam and battery) with biggest possible motors on this 12x12mm mounting platform. I think this succeeded ! The control level of this drone is superb, stock BF4.3 tune and it flies so smooth that it helps me get better at unstabilized freestyle a lot.
The motors are the non-unibell 23mm tall motors from FPVcycle in 2330KV.
Flight time with a 4s 1300 mah pack is 4 minutes 30 sec if you really give it the beans in freestyle. Can cruise for 8 minutes otherwise. I have not tried 6s, but I dont know if I would see any real benefit, as even on this build with gemfan F3s I almost never hit 100% throttle.
The 5mm arms make this build super solid, almost no flex in the arms (compared to fouride frame for instance, which is quite bendy). One compromise I feel this build has over a standard beefy 750g 6s 5 inch is durability - for flying over concrete. I doubt the arms will take many hits before delaminating at the ends.

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..
