I ordered an HDZero Freestyle Vtx a while ago (maybe right when they started shipping), but none of my frames (including my 6" midrange frame!) were big enough to fit it. This Vtx is CHUNKY!
After it sitting in my drawer for a while, I finally decided to spend a few more dollar and do a brand new build specifically around this Vtx.
The frame is the Ichabod Jr V2. The reasons for this frame are three fold:
1) I have the Ichabod Jr V1 and absolutely LOVE the way it flies.
2) The easily adjustable GoPro/FPV cam is great for my needs.
3) The V2 has pleanty of space for any VTX/ESC/FC with no compromises needed (and seems to be a few grams lighter, too!)
The v2 is everything the V1 was, plus has more room For me, going with the V2 was the natural choice.
Right before I started this build, a friend has reached out on Twitter and asked me to do a build video "on my next build". I'm not good at video stuff, but I dug up an old Canon G12 camera (my wife had gotten me for my birthday ages ago) and filmed the whole thing. I did my best stitching the video together...

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..
