iffy parts build...
All these frame parts were from broken frames.
the front arms are from an armattan tadpole 3" i cut out, the back arms and lower plate are from a HD Phantom, and the top plate is from the baseplate of an analog Phantom. suprisingly its fairly well balanced. Now this frame can support 3" props :D

I had an older fc and as soon as i got everything buttoned up, an esc died. I swapped out the FC with another questionable one I have. I swapped out the motors again or emax 1404 3600kv's
I realized after I was completed one of the emax motors was dead. I decided to replace both front motors with the tmotors so it has 4600kv in front and 3600kv in back. I'm def not getting max power / efficency , but its basically a free build, so I'll suck it up.
I cut out a piece of plastic and scuffed it with sandpaper to get a good diffuse glow. The front landing pads are shorter than the back ones to give it a slammed stance... serves no other purpose.
the antenna exploded on impact from another build, but the guts were fine. I used a couple of layers of heatshrink and it seems to be good to go :)

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..
