I built this one up specifically for the DJI O3 system I got for Christmas. Fun little build! It's probably a bit on the heavier side for the 3mm arms on this frame with 1607 motors and 1300mAh 4S, but without an HD camera it still rips pretty well! This was pretty much an experiment to see if I can get 5" type performance in the 4" without the GoPro. So far it seems to be working pretty well, though I've already found it doesn't have the wind penetration that the heavier 5" has. Still dialing things in and the tune needs work, but I'm excited about the possibilities the O3 brings.
I'm also giving a try with AM32 on this build. Pete (Alka) Sent me this T-Motor esc with AM32 preflashed a while ago and I did some testing on the bench, but I'm finally throwing it in a drone with the latest AM32 code. So far I'm pleased, but needs some more time to draw any significant conclusions. I love the potential in open source 32-bit firmware, and Pete has done some great work here, so I'm very optimistic for the future of AM32.

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..

Any problems with not soft mounting the O3? I built the same frame with my O3 and had to make some TPU mounts.
Nope, none at all. As long as you're not trying to use stabilization there should be no problems regardless of how it's mounted. As far as I know the issues only show up when you try to use EIS.
