Switchback Zero with HDZero installed. Main things I want to point out:

  • Space components out evenly on stack by using HDZero m3 nylon washers inbetween componets
  • Use low profile nuts on bottom of stack to save height
  • Mount HDZero Race v2 vtx with update port facing forward so that the board is best protected
  • Hold down antenna with included brass hold down - use solder on back side to keep nuts in place
  • Use Welders Glue or e6000 glue to hold mipi connector down at camera and vtx
  • Print my protective camera mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5403632
  • I recommend using a simple (but quality) dipole antenna since it is cheap and durable

Well, now I just feel lazy for running taller standoffs.

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..
